CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Xavier Legette had always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby.

He’d never been to an NHL game and wanted to see what the fuss was all about.

BALTIMORE — There were sidearm slings to Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar in stride and completions to Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins and Mark Andrews. Some throws were on target, some were off, some were intercepted. The difference was who was throwing them.

Let’s be clear about something: The Miami Dolphins enter the 2025 season relying on Plan B — winning with draftees and young players.

The Dolphins are on Plan B because Plan A — winning with veterans — failed. Plan A didn’t deliver its goal of winning a Super Bowl. It didn’t even produce a playoff win.

So, the Dolphins have ...Read more
