MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins heard the talk all week about their 0-3 record against winning teams entering their matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. They couldn’t completely ignore the criticism — social media makes it hard to do that, coach Mike McDaniel said. But he felt his team didn’t let “narratives” become a distraction, and Miami (11-4) finally got over that hump.“Regardless of what people say, you have to get to a mode where you’re solely worried about doing your job and being responsible for that with your teammates,” McDaniel said after Sunday’s 22-20 defeat of the Cowboys. “And anything else, you get distracted and lose focus on what actually matters.”What matters to the playoff-bound Dolphins now is beating two more winning teams: Baltimore on Sunday and then division rival Buffalo in their season finale.Sunday’s victory put the AFC East-leading Dolphins in position to win the division for the first time since 2008 with e...

Why you should clear around your mailbox after it snows

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:10 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Snow or rain may not stop mail carriers from delivering your extremely important weekly ads or dreaded bills, but if snow and ice create unsafe conditions -- it just might.If you wake up to a large amount of snow on your doorstep, you might want to make it a priority to clear a path to your mailbox, at least if you want your mail to be delivered. When do you have to shovel your sidewalk after snow? The reason is simple: You may not get your mail if you fail to clear your mailbox or, if you have a wall-mounted mailbox, the path to it is blocked by snow or ice, according to the U.S. Postal Service.This is specifically because mail carriers are not required to deliver to a mailbox to places with safety issues such as icy steps, snowy paths or icy overhangs.Additionally, any slips, trips or falls that result in injury to a mail carrier -- or any visitor -- could result in expensive liability for a homeowner, USPS said. If snow does stop your mail service, it is on you...
