MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier has been busy building a roster that can win now.He’s packaged up numerous 2023 picks to bring in high-profile players such as Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, which helped the Dolphins to a 9-8 record last season and a playoff appearance as first-year head coach Mike McDaniel and an improved Tua Tagovailoa led the way.The Dolphins have made it clear that simply making the playoffs is not enough, and McDaniel and Grier have both spoken about their willingness to trade draft capital to bring in experienced players who can immediately make a difference.The Dolphins made a big splash in free agency, addressing several needs on their roster and landing star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to bolster their secondary.“When we recognized an opportunity, we jumped on it,” McDaniel said. “And I think to Chris Grier’s credit and Brandon Shore’s credit, they were able to get a fair deal.”Miami has just four picks to work w...

Marijuana may make sleep worse, especially for regular users, study finds

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:42 GMT

(CNN) — It’s a common assumption among marijuana users: Using weed will help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Scientists, however, aren’t so sure that’s true.“This is an understudied but important area, as many people are increasingly turning to cannabis products as sleep aids,” said sleep specialist Wendy Troxel, a senior behavioral scientist at Rand Corp., who was not involved in the study.“But we really lack solid evidence demonstrating whether cannabis helps or hurts sleep,” Troxel added.Use of weed may actually harm sleep, a December 2021 study has found. The research, published in a BMJ journal, revealed adults who use weed 20 or more days during the last month were 64% more likely to sleep less than six hours a night and 76% more likely to sleep longer than nine hours a night.Optimal sleep for adults is defined by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as seven to eight hours a night.Mode...

Patriots enter NFL draft holding 11 picks to address needs

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:42 GMT

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Most of the New England Patriots’ shortcomings last season can be traced back to the experiments they tried on offense that simply didn’t pan out.Entrusting that side of the ball and the pivotal second year of quarterback Mac Jones’ development to coaches with non-offensive pedigrees in Matt Patricia (defense) and Joe Judge (special teams), proved to be a mistake that coach Bill Belichick quickly addressed this offseason.The draft is part of what the Patriots hope will be a reset of sorts in 2023.Former offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien is back, along with new coaches, including offensive line coach Adrian Klemm.While it would seem that a change at the quarterback position won’t be part of New England’s course correction, the party line this summer is that everything is on the table.“I think the big thing for us is everybody is starting with a clean slate,” O’Brien said. “I think every year is different. I think this year is no different from any othe...

Upcoming renovations will soon change M&T Bank Stadium. The venue’s name, however, will stay the same.The Ravens and M&T Bank have agreed to extend their naming rights agreement until 2037, they said Thursday, meaning the 71,000-seat stadium will retain the name it has held since 2003 for 15 more seasons. The current deal had been set to expire in 2027.The Maryland Stadium Authority, which owns M&T Bank Stadium, and the Ravens signed a new lease in January, extending the team’s formal ties to Baltimore from 2027 to 2037. That prompted the Ravens to reach out to M&T Bank and extend their partnership until the lease’s end, Ravens president Sashi Brown said.“As soon as we got to the point where we knew we would get to a deal — and we’re thankful to the state for that — we reached right out to M&T and advised them of the extension. They were excited to hear that and naturally began discussions about extending our partnership ...

Yankees Notebook: Giancarlo Stanton in ‘disbelief’ over latest ‘unacceptable’ injury

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:42 GMT

Giancarlo Stanton said his left hamstring felt better Thursday, but the Yankees slugger is taking his latest injury hard.Stanton, who suffered a Grade 2 strain Saturday while legging out a double, said the hammy is “improving every day, but it’s a slow process.” Aaron Boone hopes to have the designated hitter/outfielder back in six weeks, though Stanton didn’t offer a timeline when asked if he had the same target in mind.“I’m gonna be back as soon as possible,” he said.Stanton added that he felt tightness and grabbing in his hamstring — “It’s not a normal feeling, or a fun one” — and he immediately knew the injury would sideline him for a few weeks. He didn’t want to “confront that right away,” as soft tissue injuries have hindered him throughout his Yankees career.“The disbelief and disappointment at this stage is hard to put into words,” Stanton said. “It’s very frustr...
