The Jets will be coming full circle at quarterback when they host the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on Monday Night Football (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). The Jets got blown out 38-3 by Buffalo last Monday in a game moved to Detroit due to bad weather. They’ve decided to go back to original starter Geno Smith after Michael Vick got the nod in the last three. It’s a surprising move, one possibly made by general manager John Idzik, and not head coach Rex Ryan....

The squads have also been going in opposite directions against the spread the last four games. Miami is 0-4 ATS, while New York would be 4-0 ATS if not for a ‘bad beat’ 30-24 OT loss in Minnesota as 4.5-point dogs. The Line: Miami -6, Total 41.5 Line movement: The Dolphins were bet from -4.5 to -5.5 at The Wynn, and from -5 to -6 at William Hill. The total has been between 41....

One theory out there is that caffeine, which has been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease when consumed in midlife, can also help improve your cognitive functioning long before the typical age of onset of Alzheimer’s disease (which is usually after age 70). For the millions out there who love their daily coffee, this could be the perfect reason to keep that morning routine. (Not that you need a reason....

The grand experiment of Europe now faces its first serious test, and its institutions are failing to measure up. In the two years since the eurozone became a reality with the formal introduction of its currency, the world has changed dramatically. The threat of deflation has returned to the world stage after a half-century absence, just as Europe has forsworn the main weapons of war against it: sharp increases in spending or the money supply....

Although there is still much to be learned about the exact role garlic might play in reducing the risk of cancer, it might have some benefits in cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as well as the breast and prostate. This article will review the properties of garlic that provide its health benefits, as well as the conditions it may be helpful for, how it can be used, and warnings....

Manchester United, on the other hand, have always stuck with the 4-4-2 formation. Sir Alex Ferguson has implemented this formation for more than 25 years now. Although United choose the 4-3-3 sometimes during their European fixtures, the 4-4-2 always remains their default formation. When this transfer season began, United were speculated to be interested in Eden Hazard and Shinji Kagawa. Both these players technically do not fit into the default 4-4-2....

e no mistake, Nadal’s conquers - Fabio Fognini and Dominic Thiem - are both excellent players. Both of them, especially the Austrian, are completely at home on clay too. But Nadal is the king on the red dirt. To see him lose in two back-to-back tournaments at the semifinal stage, is almost a surreal feeling. The Spaniard can still turn his season around, if he manages to win the biggest tournament on clay - the French Open at Roland Garros....

Since an association does not mean causation, we will address the research available regarding Roundup, as well as alternatives for both agriculture and home gardening. Background on Roundup (Glyphosate) Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup products, was first sold as an herbicide in 1974. Since that time, it has grown to become the most widespread herbicide used in the United States. While in use since 1974, it’s estimated that as of 2016, two-thirds of the volume of glyphosate applied to crops had been sprayed in only the preceding decade....

The Clippers had precious little depth last season. Their starting five of Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, Matt Barnes, Blake Griffin and Jordan was the most-played five-man unit in the league last season, by nearly 300 minutes. Four of the 50 most used lineups in the league last season belonged to the Clippers. Obviously, there’s tremendous value in riding the talent of a core group, but depth increasingly became an issue in the playoffs....

Do iPads Have Microphones? Yes. Since the original, every model of the iPad has included at least one built-in microphone. Mics on the iPad are pretty subtle; they look like small pinholes poked into the housing of the iPad, or, on some models, in the camera assembly. Where Is the Microphone on an iPad? The microphone’s location on your iPad and how many microphones it has are different depending on the model....

Sometimes we just need to take a moment to enjoy something that makes us smile—and this video of rescue dog sledding on a frisbee is just the tonic. In the footage posted to TikTok by user @leadinglayla, a canine can be seen sliding gleefully down a snow-covered hill with her front legs on a red frisbee. When she is done, the animal, who lives in Denver, Colorado, then picks up the toy in her mouth and bounds back up the slope to whizz down the hill once more....

The “neglected dog”—now named Penny—was found on Lincoln Avenue, in the Hubbard Township, with “an open sore on her butt, filled with flies and larvae,” The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project said on Facebook. The non-profit rescue organization took the dog in and had veterinarians run an assessment for any other issues. Jason Cooke, founder of the The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project, told Newsweek: “Her condition upon arrival was heartbreaking to say the least—she was extremely emaciated; her beautiful ears had been cut off and she had a sore on her rear....

The much loved pets are loyal companions, full of energy and always pleased to see people. And, in viral footage posted recently to TikTok, we can see that a golden retriever has a lot of love for a little boy. In the clip, shared to the video streaming app by user charliedelta1991, a little boy who is sitting in a living room wraps his arms around the dog and squeezes him for a cuddle....

Cash the Alusky, a cross between a Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute, was left looking seriously guilty after his owner woke to discover the pooched had ripped through the assorted presents she had no doubt spent hours carefully wrapping. A video showcasing the chaotic scene was shared to TikTok under the handle cashthealusky, where it has already been viewed 1.6 million times. Watch it here. Perhaps Cash was just excited at the prospect of unwrapping his own gift on December 25....

His owner shared a video of their pooch, called Branch Cooper, to their TikTok account @allaboutbranch last month. In it they hold out a lemon to the four-legged friend, which has a segment cut out of it. Branch approaches, but almost immediately jumps up and runs in a circle while snapping at the fruit. “Scared but spicey,” the clip, shared last month, was captioned. A follow-up clip uploaded a few days later captures more of the encounter, and shows Branch barking at the citrus fruit....

Bet on Madrid to win the Champions League The 19-year-old scored 23 goals across all competitions in an outstanding 2016-17 season, including six in 13 appearances during his side’s run to the Europa League final. The Denmark international was linked with a move to the Premier League but talk of interest from Madrid has increased in recent weeks, with the Spanish and European champions in need of attacking reinforcements after selling Alvaro Morata and Mariano Diaz....

But fans have just realized her musical prowess isn’t limited to conventional instruments, after her manicure was given a credit on one of her albums. A superfan, who calls themselves DollyRewind on TikTok, uploaded a clip to the site on Tuesday, after discovering the 75-year-old’s unusual talent. Her skill came into its own on her smash hit 9 to 5, after her percussive strumming and tapping helped her formulate the beat for the song, which featured on the movie of the same name....

Reader Darren W. reported that Dolph’s knee was cut wide open and he was bleeding a lot and after his win over The Miz, he was checked on by a referee before walking to the back on his own. Darren also noted that he saw Ziggler after the show outside of the arena and he was in good spirits. Elsewhere, WWE fans have launched a big campaign on Twitter as tweets have been flowing into the accounts of Triple H and NXT to get Solomon Crowe to make his TV debut....

Miami missed the playoffs for a second year in a row after finishing 7-9 for the season. It was a tough blow for a team which started out 3-0 and secured huge wins over the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was reportedly particularly unhappy with Gase after the team’s Week 16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Sunday’s 42-17 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills sealed his fate....

The Dolphins, coming off a bad loss to the Jets in Week 3, miserably failed to keep pace in the AFC East, a division for once not led by the Patriots entering Week 4, and got shut out, 20-0. The Saints, coming off their first win of the season against the Panthers in Week 3, rode that momentum and got back to .500.
