It’s a Sunshine State showdown for the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to wrap up their preseason schedules on Friday night.

Miami has won two straight to start exhibition play, while Tampa has gone 1-1 and will give No. 1 quarterback Baker Mayfield another tune-up ahead of the regular season.

A former senior employee of the failed betting platform Football Index has spoken for the first time about the structural flaws which brought down the business and the increasingly desperate attempts to save it in the months leading up to its collapse in early March.

Football Index went offline after a series of crashes in its “football stock market”, where users could buy and trade “shares” in leading players which returned dividends according to their performances on the pitch. The Gambling Commission, which regulated the company, suspended its licence on 11 March, leaving customers with stakes of at least £90m in open bets trapped in the platform.

The Giants are 1-7 and after the season they’re going to clean house. Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in New York. A 51-17 loss to the Rams in a noticeably empty home stadium had owner John Mara fuming, and had the media basically asking everyone to justify their continued employment. McAdoo was asked if the Giants, out of the playoff hunt already, need to start figuring out who’s going to be around next year and get those players some game action. “You really can’t look from my chair too far ahead,” McAdoo said. “But you also have to look at getting some players some reps in the g…

It's a difficult world out there, people. War, poverty, brutality, corruption, social and racial injustice … these are not civil times we live in. Which is why, more than ever, we NEED the comfort and warmth that only life inside the Williams-Sonoma catalog can provide. Follow me, America. Follow me inside these glossy pages, where there is no anger. No violence. No internet commenters explaining why YOUR SO STOOPID.
