The Nashville Predators scratched the defenseman on Wednesday, 18 games after acquiring him from the New York Rangers — where he'd been in coach Alain Vigneault's doghouse, too. “His game has slipped, and our coaching staff has talked to him about making solid decisions, solid plays and he has gotten away from that a little bit,” Predators coach Barry Trotz said. “We had some healthy people and we felt this would be a good time....
The Virtual Vision Test aims to cut the fuss (and cost) with a five-minute test, the results of which are then verified by an eye doctor. Warby Parker, which sells some of the best contact lenses online (opens in new tab) as well as online eyeglasses (opens in new tab), reckons it takes just a few minutes to run through the basic questions on the Virtual Vision Test app to check your eligibility....
Olympus, a boxer-pit mix, was found by a security guard at Richmond Animal Control at 9:30 a.m. on February 6. Although staff at the shelter initially believed the dog had been left in order to be found, surveillance footage revealed the owner dumped the dog at 2:36 a.m. Footage showed Olympus attempting to follow the owner, only to collapse on the floor. “His little paws started to turn under, which is what we see when death comes often,” Christie Chipps-Peters, director of Richmond Animal Care and Control, told CBS 6....
In footage, which was shared by an account called Cardinalhenryp, we can see a woman stroking and massaging a Staffordshire Terrier’s back, and his reaction is adorable. The dog, whose name is Harvey, is clearly enjoying the relaxing embrace and the clip is made all the more amusing by the audio. The woman can be heard singing: “Massage, massage, and a back massage and a back massage.” Inexplicably, she then adds: “We’re in serious trouble....
The ex-Atlanta Hawks player flew into Brisbane with his French bulldog placed inside his hand luggage and ran afoul of Australia’s quarantine laws. The Bullets recruit was briefly detained after landing in Brisbane on Thursday with his dog, Kobe. The 27-year-old Patterson, who has played seasons in Turkey, Italy and China, cleared customs at the airport. But Kobe was kept in quarantine and was sent home Friday, Australia’s agriculture department said....
The clip, shared by the TikTok account @weishaarfam, shows a person putting a scoop of kibble in a bowl before topping it with some miniature bone-shaped biscuits, placed carefully into a heart shape. A message overlaid on the video read: “Sent this to our pet sitter to show him how to feed our babies while we are gone.” The person then sprinkles spoonfuls of a powder from a container labeled “love dust” over the food before the video pans to a dog waiting with its tail wagging....
Clinton’s desolation is so acute that the New York Times ran a front-page article last week that described a lonely Clinton-“adrift and often isolated” in the haunting words of reporter Adam Nagourney-living a life that’s part Nixon (after he abandoned the White House) and part Howard Hughes (after he abandoned hygiene). Make no mistake: the pressure of being Bill Clinton is getting to him-Buddy, that is. “Dogs respond to the behaviors of their owners, so when the owner is under stress, the dog becomes stressed,” said Richard Polsky, a certified animal behaviorist in Los Angeles....
The reality television star has been leading a high-profile search for the missing 23-year-old who is the subject of a nationwide manhunt and wanted in connection with the murder of his girlfriend Gabby Petito.

Wall squats work your hip muscles, and strong, flexible hips tend to translate to a well-supported spine. In other words, the power you’re able to generate in quadriceps, hamstrings, and outer and inner thighs by doing wall squats may provide a modicum of injury prevention to your low back. It will also provide support for your posture. The same is true for those all-important deep core abdominals. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that performing modified wall squats, as well as hip bridges, increased the thickness of both the transverse abdominis and the internal obliques, which are two key core stability muscles located in your trunk....
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus puts the player in the role of a high school teenager who’s coaxed into joining a literature club by their childhood friend, Sayori. The game is heavily inspired by visual novel dating games, and follows the same general conventions, with the story being told entirely in text. The game does not include voice acting, so players should expect to do a lot of reading. The player character chooses to stick with the club after being charmed by its additional members, Yuri, Natsuki, and Monika, and from that point, the game begins a fairly generic visual novel dating game routine - at least, at first - with the player making an effort to woo one of the girls....
Parton’s Twitter post on January 21 was captioned “Get you a woman who can do it all,” alongside a montage of images she would hypothetically use to represent herself on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Tinder.

It also inspired two police forces in England seeking suspected criminals for questioning....
WOIO-TV CBS Cleveland Entertainment Reporter Chris Van Vliet interviewed Dolph Ziggler in Cleveland. During the interview, Ziggler discussed Sean O’Haire’s death, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk and Sting.

It’s a two part story....
The brunt of Miami’s punishment — the loss of a 2023 first- and 2024 third-round pick, as well as suspension of Ross until Oct. 17 — resulted from tampering charges against the team: The NFL discovered Miami had on multiple occasions reached out to Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady and Saints coach Sean Payton. In the report, the NFL found that Ross and team vice chairman/limited partner Bruce Beal — under Ross’ instruction — contacted Brady several times since 2019, both as quarterback for the Patriots and Buccaneers....
Miami is 10-5 as it enters its season finale, a home game against division-rival New England. And Patriots coach Bill Belichick knows the reasons for the Dolphins’ playoff berth extend beyond the undeniable, immediate impact of first-year coach Adam Gase. Belichick in his media conference Monday was asked why he thinks Miami has been able to win so many close games late this season, and in his answer, he perfectly described why the Dolphins have been so impressive....
During media availability after practice Wednesday, Tagovalia spoke about how he’s feeling and his status with the team. “I don’t not feel wanted,” Tagovailoa told reporters. “I don’t base my emotions about who says anything about me. I can only do my job. It’s out of my control but I have the utmost confidence and trust that I am the quarterback of this team. Just off conversations that I’ve had with Flo … I feel very confident....
Just one day after Miami wide receiver Kenny Stills criticized Jay-Z’s partnership with the NFL, Flores played eight consecutive Jay-Z songs to start practice. MORE: Flores on Stills: ‘I applaud those guys who protest’ “He could’ve reached out to Colin. He could’ve reached out to me,” Stills said. “Some of the ways he answered his questions, talking about we’re moving away from kneeling, like he ever protested. He’s not an NFL player....
An updated look at the current NFL playoff scenario going into Week 14: AFC (who would be in) Patriots (9-3). The loss at Green Bay didn’t affect their conference position, but there went their breathing room for the top seed, making this week’s road game vs. the Chargers, easily their most difficult matchup left, a must win. What’s left: at SD, vs. MIA, at NYJ, vs. BUF Broncos (9-3). Just like last season, the projected AFC West champions are hanging in there, waiting for a New England stumble to take over the top seed again....
Dawson, 42, is vice president of player personnel for the Tennessee Titans. He also is linked to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' general manager search. While owner Stephen Ross and Dolphins executives are seeking a solid talent evaluated, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel noted that none of the men interviewed thus far has general manager experience. Jeff Ireland was fired last week after six years as GM. The Dolphins called his departure a mutual parting of ways....
The Patriots’ early-season struggles were topic of conversation all week leading up to the game, but they were able to find their rhythm in shutting out the Dolphins until just under three minutes to play. Miami has a history of struggling in Foxboro; it has not won at Gillette Stadium since 2008. Josh Gordon made his Patriots debut with two catches for 32 yards. James White led New England in receiving yards with 68....
