Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:23:48 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Back in the summer, long before it became a way to quietly send a message, DK Metcalf decided he wanted to learn more about a class on American Sign Language he took in college.He saw it as a hobby to do away from the field that would teach him something new.The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver didn’t intend on it becoming a method to express himself on the field without getting in trouble.“I always try to exercise my mind or try to learn something new,” Metcalf said. “In the past I was taking acting classes, now I figured let’s take it a step further.”Metcalf’s path learning ASL came to light after he scored the first of his three touchdown catches last week in Seattle’s 41-35 loss to Dallas. Following the 73-yard touchdown catch-and-run, Metcalf signed the phrase, “Standing on business,” which quickly caught the attention of everyone watching the Thursday night game.The sign was first shown to Metcalf by teammate Boye Mafe, who learned ASL when he was younger an...

Dolphins need to beat Titans so they can focus on longer-term goal of division title

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:23:48 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Coach Mike McDaniel’s Miami Dolphins have done a lot of winning this season: They’re 9-3 for the first time in 22 years and are tied for the best record in the AFC. They’ve outscored opponents 384-266 with an offense that leads the NFL in passing, yards per play, yards per rush and red-zone efficiency. What does McDaniel think of that?“Call me when it’s a 13-game season,” he said. “That’s all nice, but we have a job to do today. If we shortchange and are worried about anything other than the Tennessee Titans when we’re game planning … then all those conversations and stories literally don’t matter at all.”Hosting a playoff game is the Dolphins’ long-term goal as they try to close in on their first division title since 2008. This week’s only focus is beating the Tennessee Titans (4-8) on Monday night.The Titans have just one victory since Oct. 29 and are winless on the road. Coach Mike Vrabel has insisted his team will no...

También la Corte Penal Internacional ha utilizado el término, señalando que una anexión por Venezuela sería ilegal.En el referendo, de acuerdo con los resultados que anunció el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro, los votantes aprobaron la creación de un nuevo estado venezolano en el Esequibo. El martes, Maduro anunció que procedería de acuerdo con el resultado. El proyecto de ley para ello fue aprobado en primera discusión por la Asamblea Nacional.ANÁLISIS | ¿...
