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.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was watching Saturday’s Team USA game against France from the bench,

He was rooting for his teammates, who were on the way to a 98-87 victory.

Toward the end of the fourth quarter, with the game still as issue, Steph Curry took a logo 3-point field goal attempt. He drained it. Nothing but net.

Adebayo could not believe what he witnessed. He then realized who was taking the shot,

Adebayo said, “I was kind of like ‘what the f***?’ And then I remembered who was shooting it.”

Curry finished with 24 points to pace the Americans, who won their fifth consecutive gold medal.

On this play, the 3-point field goal put the United States up by six. This was after a France rally that cut the lead to three,

With less than three minutes to play, Curry tried to create some space between himself and Nic Batum. He received the ball from Kevin Durant and went left. He then dribbled behind his back as Evan Fournier tried to double him. Curry had Batum and Fournier’s hands in his face as he threw up the shot with six seconds remaining on the shot clock.

“That was an unbelievable moment,” Curry told NBC’s Mike Tirico after the game. “I’ve been blessed to play basketball at a high level for a very long time. I don’t know. … This ranks very high in terms of the excitement and sense of relief getting to the finish line.”

Warning: Discussion of rape, abuse, and assault.

Yung Miami has finally spoken out about her relationship with her ex, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the allegations against him.

Yung Miami (real name Caresha Romeka Brownlee) split from Diddy after he was accused of sexual assault and more in a lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie and other women in 2023.

On November 16, 2023, Diddy was sued by Cassie in federal court, accusing him of rape and repeated physical assault. A lawyer for Combs denied all the allegations, and the case was settled one day later.

In a graphic 2016 surveillance video obtained and released by CNN, Diddy was seen appearing to attack and drag Cassie in a hallway at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Diddy has since released a now-deleted apology video that was not well-received by the public.

On July 3, NBC News reported that Diddy was under federal investigation following his Los Angeles and Miami residences being raided by Homeland Security Investigations earlier this year.

Now, speaking with People, the City Girls rapper has opened up about the “rollercoaster of emotions” surrounding her relationship with Diddy in the face of all these very serious allegations. “It’s not easy,” she said.

Caresha said that when she met Diddy, “he was focused on building love and really locked in on his music and business. I was with him when the world was celebrating him.”

“I just think that when I met Diddy, he was just a man first. He was more into what I wanted to do, and he approached me with a lot of business [ideas]. ‘You should do this. I see this in you.’ So it was more of that for me. He saw more in me than music,” she said.

After seeing the graphic video of Diddy assaulting Cassie, Caresha was “deeply hurt and shocked.”

“I’ve been in a toxic relationship before when I was younger,” she expressed. “In high school, my early 20s, and they’re not healthy. They’re not fun. It’s just I’ve been there, done that, and that’s somewhere I would never want to put myself.”

In regard to her breakup with the rap mogul, Caresha said, “Sometimes a relationship runs its course. People break up every day, and with everything that happened, I just needed time alone.”

Caresha also addressed how she regrets her response to another woman, Gina Huynh, who shared her abuse allegations toward Diddy. “I’m aware of the things I tweeted towards another woman that, now looking back, I know I shouldn’t have given any energy to,” she said. “Everyone only saw how I responded when I was repeatedly tested. I’m working to make sure I don’t let people take me out of my character, no matter how hard it might be.”

“This whole thing has broken me and impacted me in such a way, and it was kind of a dark time for me,” Caresha said. “So I just want to stay positive and focus on myself and what’s important to me right now. I always tell myself, ‘stay strong, stay consistent. You are beautiful. You are worthy.’ In life you always face challenges. But when you fall like it, you pick up, you ride again.”
