This is while the state recently passed the 1.6 million mark of positive COVID-19 cases, which is third in the country only behind California and Texas. On Tuesday, state officials declared they want to make a bid for this year’s Tokyo Olympics should Japanese officials decide not to hold the Games that have already been postponed once because of the virus. Later in the day, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a report of Florida two high school wrestling tournaments from December that turned into a COVID super-spreader....

The find was discovered by chance on a dirt road she had passed dozens of times before. It has since been confirmed as belonging to Carcharocles megalodon—the largest shark to have lived—by three paleontologists at the University of Florida. Megalodons were apex predators that dominated the oceans 20 million to 3 million years ago. Based on fossils left behind, scientists believe the species reached lengths of 60 feet—making them more three times the size of the average great white shark....

Paulette Dean, a registered Republican who lives in Palm Beach County, prompted strong reactions on social media after she complimented Trump on his appearance. “Good evening Mr. President, I have to say you have a great smile,” she said at the town hall. “You’re so handsome when you smile.” Speaking to the Miami New Times on her way home from the event, Dean revealed she plans to vote for Biden and insisted that she’s not a fan of the president....

Debra Hunter, 52, was charged with assault following an incident at a Pier 1 Imports store in St. Johns Town Center mall in Jacksonville last month, according to a warrant obtained by First Coast News. The incident was recorded by Heather Sprague, who identified herself as being a mother of 10 with a brain tumor while posting the clip online.

It’s worth noting that this was the first time the two have crossed paths since their infamous sparring session back in the late ’90s. The sparring took place when Paul Spadafora was just days away from a fight and Mayweather was visiting the gym where the former lightweight world champion was training. Watch the full video of the sparring session below: Floyd Mayweather and Paul Spadafora sparred for six rounds and it was arguably the only time when someone was able to fare so well against ‘Money’....

It’s deliberate. It’s purposeful. It’s very calculated. It’s slightly vague. But it’s all business. And it’s the reason that Floyd Mayweather is fighting Don Moore in Abu Dhabi inside the Etihad Arena on Yas Island for an exhibition boxing match that will add more commas to his checking account. MORE: Floyd Mayweather vs. Don Moore date, start time, odds, schedule, price & card for 2022 exhibition boxing fight Despite being 45 years old, being nearly seven years removed from fighting a real boxer (sorry, Conor McGregor doesn’t count), and facing a former sparring partner who is also 45 years of age, Mayweather remains a massive draw in boxing....

Mayweather is selling a new T-shirt on his site, The Money Team, to drum up even more support from his fans. The thing is, the shirt won’t likely sit well with many Manny Pacquiao fans. MORE: Classic Mayweather photos | How to watch the fight on PPV | Fight time, date, odds Titled “King of the Ring,” the shirt features Mayweather superimposed over the Philippines flag. Given the title and the fact that Pacquiao is proudly from the Philippines, it’s rather easy to put 2 and 2 together....

A flustered Oliver fumbled her way through an injury report before the Dolphins-Saints game at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday morning. Maybe it was the time difference between the U.S. and Europe. Or Oliver might have been distracted by a sudden cheer from the crowd that occurred midway through her report on Saints cornerback P.J. Williams. But the normally-reliable Oliver messed up her Williams report not once, but twice....

The Flyers were getting pounded by the Capitals in a nasty Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round series, so Philly decided to take it out on someone. That turned out to be Caps defenseman Dmitry Orlov, who was boarded by Pierre-Edouard Bellemare late in the third period. MORE: Must-see first-round photos As Orlov was receiving attention from the trainer, a fan decided to send Orlov a get-well present: a bracelet, one of the thousands the Flyers handed out before the game....

Passengers can thank European Union deregulation for the cheap fares. For now, the budget carriers are based only in Britain. That means you must usually fly into or out of London. Nor are they long on service: borrowing from U.S. airlines like Southwest, the budget companies don’t feed you and often use secondary airports outside of town. But they have what some call the only three lures that count: price, price and price....

For every successful Gianluca Zambrotta-like switch, which redefined the fullback role for generations to come, there exists a calamitous Steven Caulker-like switch. Why Jurgen Klopp played the center-back as a striker is something only he can answer. Leaving aside the position changes that did not go as planned, here we take a look at active players thriving in their changed positions, so much so that most people have already forgotten about their previous playing roles....

After spending days in the Atlantic Ocean as a tropical storm, Dorian became a Category 1 hurricane on Wednesday afternoon. Although some weakening was expected after it passed near Puerto Rico, the storm was forecasted to steadily gather strength and turn into a Category 3 and then Category 4 hurricane as it approached Florida. Ahead of the storm, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency, which would allow officials to mobilize the National Guard and ensure agencies were prepared for Dorian’s arrival....

The Flyers were scheduled to play the Predators on Dec. 27 and flew to Nashville a day early. The trip violated the CBA, however, because teams are prohibited from traveling from Dec. 24-26. MORE: Jagr dazzles with record hat trick | Blackhawks lose Verteeg | All-Star voting update The flight was prohibited by Article 16.5(b) of the CBA, which reads: “December 24, Christmas Day, and December 26 shall be off-days for all purposes, including travel, and no Club may request a Player’s consent to practice on such days for any reason, provided, however, if December 26 falls on a Saturday and the League has scheduled NHL Games on such date, December 23 may be substituted as an off-day for all purposes, including travel, instead of December 26....

Philly's Wayne Simmonds got it all started eight seconds after the Capitals went up 7-0 in the third period. Soon after, Flyers goalie Ray Emery — who was torched for four goals in relief of Steve Mason — skated the length of the ice to punch counterpart Braden Holtby. Referee Francois St. Laurent chose to be a spectator for that bout; he also shooed away anyone who was thinking about protecting Holtby, who needs work on his turtle game....
