We can all aim for a bit of self-improvement today. The Moon starts out in garrulous Leo, where it will make a mind-opening trine to the Sun in adventurous Sagittarius, before changing things up by entering responsible Virgo at 2:37 am EST. We can create order from chaos.
The Miami Dolphins now know they will officially be eliminated if they lose at home Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Thursday night’s win for the Los Angeles Chargers against the Denver Broncos made that so.
Now, the Dolphins (6-8) no longer have any paths into the postseason that involve another loss.
The Chargers and Broncos are both 9-6.
MIAMI GARDENS — Is Tyreek Hill the perfect troll, or is Tyreek Hill simply tone deaf to Dolphins fans?
I think it’s both, but unfortunately more of the latter.
That bothers me a little.
What matters more is that it greatly bothers and agitates a large contingent of Dolphins fans.

In the first major flex of his influence since Donald Trump was elected, Elon Musk brought to a sudden halt a bipartisan budget proposal by posting constantly on his X megaphone and threatening Republicans with primary challenges.
The social media warnings from the world’s wealthiest man preceded Trump’s condemnation of a measure negotiated by GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson, which effectively killed the stopgap measure that was designed to prevent a partial shutdown of the federal government.
Washington was scrambled a day after Musk’s public pressure campaign.
