Mike McDaniel’s Dolphins are working on maintaining their standards, even with big leads

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:30:26 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — It may sound strange after the Miami Dolphins’ offense put up a historic performance during a game that was never in doubt, but coach Mike McDaniel believes his team responds well to adversity.“We talked at length all offseason just about adversity,” McDaniel said, “and sometimes adversity is having a score or two lead because you can let the atmosphere dictate your product. So what I saw from a lot of guys, and specifically when you’re talking about that type of production, that’s guys really taking it to heart — that we have one opportunity with this team in 2023, and we’re going to make the most of it and be unrelenting with our standards.”The Dolphins maintained those standards throughout their 70-20 drubbing of the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Miami recorded 726 yards of total offense, including 350 yards rushing, in the most impressive display of offensive firepower since McDaniel took over last year.Miami’s 70 points were the most in the NF...

Battenfeld: Immigration crisis has Joe Biden and Democrats in a strangle hold

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:30:26 GMT

The immigration crisis appears to have a choke hold on Joe Biden and Democrats and threatens to damage even popular state politicians like Gov. Maura Healey.The latest polling shows only about two in 10 Americans approve of Biden’s handling of immigration, making it the most damaging issue to the president’s hopes of re-election – even more potent than his age, the economy or inflation.A new Washington Post poll found that 62% of Americans disapprove of his handling of immigration – up several points from earlier this year.What is the Democratic strategy? Right now the border is completely porous, and all the Democrats are doing is quietly panicking and trying to send Biden out to sea.The warning signs have been around for a while, and now it’s even worse.A poll in April of voters in seven swing states found 58% – both Democrats and Republicans – disapproved of the president’s immigration policy, and that was before the problems blossomed into a crisis and cities were swamped this s...
