COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway’s homecoming ended in disappointment after a hot start as Billy Napier’s Gators failed to complete a Texas two-step and finally beat a ranked team on the road. A 34-17 loss Saturday night at clamorous Kyle Field dropped Napier’s team (2-4, 1-2 SEC) to 0-13 on the road against Top 25 foes and intensified the pressure on UF’s head coach. Napier and the Gators looked to build on last weekend’s decisive 29-21 win against... Read More

FORT LAUDERDALE — Lionel Messi had a goal in each half and added an assist to help Inter Miami clinch home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs with a 4-0 victory over Atlanta United on Saturday night.

Dolphins’ Kenneth Grant, Jonah Savaiinaea take their rookie struggles into pivotal Chargers game
MIAMI GARDENS — While the Miami Dolphins went into the 2025 season with the intention of winning, it was known it would be a greater challenge than other recent seasons with the offseason’s youth movement on the roster. Whether the Dolphins were winning or not — and they’re not, entering Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers at 1-4 — Miami needed to see some positive signs from its rookie class. That hasn’t been the case as the Dolphins’ first- and second-round picks... Read More
Voting by mail works, so don’t make it worse | Steve Bousquet
Next year is an even-numbered year. That means it’s an election year. And that means that Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Legislature will once again be tempted to rewrite the state election laws, with plenty of spin about “election integrity” that always seems to make it harder for people to vote. State officials routinely congratulate themselves for how well-run Florida elections are, and for the most part, that’s true. “The model we have is working,”... Read More
Is the shrimp on your plate local? Undercover DNA testers find many Broward restaurants mislead diners by importing
Picture luxuriating at a waterfront restaurant decked out in fishing nets, oars and shrimping boat pictures, where servers wear shirts featuring some variation of, “We catch it, you eat it!” If you order peel-and-eat shrimp, you might reasonably expect they were fished from nearby waters, right? Wrong, argues commercial fisheries scientist Dave Williams, who found the opposite at most of the 44 Broward County restaurants he and and other undercover testers dined at this summer. The...

Asking Eric: Why is this neighborhood mom asking my teen son to come vacuum her house?
Dear Eric: My neighbors are a family of four, with two teenagers. We’ve been neighbors for 10 years with no problems. This past year they went through a traumatic incident with one of their kids, but with time they are beginning to heal. Of course, we went out of our way during this time to ensure they could be there for their child. We made food, got groceries, et cetera. Things have been stable for about six months. Lately, though, the mom has been texting me to ask my son to do things,... Read More
New apartments expected to join Shops at Pembroke Gardens, helping boost customer base
The developers of the Shops at Pembroke Gardens are moving closer to building a 308-unit apartment community on the property, a plan that could bring more than 1,000 new residents and, officials hope, new customers to help keep the businesses running. “It’s a win-win for Pembroke Pines and Pembroke Gardens,” said Mayor Angelo Castillo. “We have seen these centers in other areas die because they don’t have people going to the businesses during the week.” The Shops at Pembroke...

Martinez accounts for 4 TDs as undefeated Atlantic rallies past Coconut Creek
COCONUT CREEK — Sophomore quarterback Pedro Martinez threw for a career-best 346 yards and three TDs and added a scoring run for good measure as visiting Atlantic remained undefeated and clinched the District 14-5A title with a 33-30 come-from-behind win over Coconut Creek on Friday night. Facing a halftime deficit for the first time this season, and with leading rusher Omari St. Fort sidelined most of the second half with leg cramps, Atlantic (7-0, 2-0) rallied behind Martinez and his...
