Do Dolphins have a problem at backup quarterback – The Splash Zone 8/11/24
The Miami Dolphins were able to find success running the football against the Atlanta Falcons the other night, but the same cannot be said for the passing attack. Both quarterbacks, Skylar Thompson and Mike White, struggled to complete passes and it was a tad painful to watch. Maybe it was just a rough night for everyone as it was the first preseason game of the year, but another performance like this is not going to sit well with an already nervous fan base.

Spirit Airlines acquisition bid submitted by Mooney International, company says
A Texas-based company called Mooney International says it has formally submitted a bid to acquire Spirit Airlines and related assets, according to an announcement released Sunday.
In a statement, Mooney International said its proposal would combine operations involving Spirit Airlines, Mooney International and SEAir under what it described as a shared focus on affordable and accessible air travel. The company said the proposal aims to preserve the Spirit Airlines brand while pursuing long-term growth and operational improvements.
“Our objective is not only to preserve the Spirit Airlines legacy, but to create a new chapter focused on operational excellence, enhanced customer experience, expanded route connectivity, sustainable aviation initiatives, and long-term growth,” the company said in its announcement.
If the acquisition is approved, Mooney International said it would seek to maintain the Spirit Airlines brand, expand affordable travel options, invest in fleet and technology improvements, and create stronger connections between Spirit Airlines, Mooney International and SEAir. The company also said its plans include supporting aviation jobs, tourism and economic development while advancing sustainable aviation fuel initiatives.
Spirit Airlines, headquartered in South Florida, is one of the nation’s largest ultra-low-cost carriers and serves dozens of destinations across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The announcement did not disclose financial terms of the proposed acquisition or provide a timeline for any potential transaction. It is also unclear whether other bidders are involved or what regulatory approvals may be required before any deal could move forward.
The proposed acquisition comes as the airline industry continues to face evolving market conditions, competition among low-cost carriers and growing demand for affordable travel options.
