Miami Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson has been named a finalist for the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, the Associated Press and NFL announced Thursday. Robinson, who was also named to the 2024 PFWA All-Rookie Team earlier this week, was one of the most impactful defensive rookies in 2024. He appeared in all 17 games with one start during his first NFL season, recording 26 tackles (16 solo), 6.0 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits and four passes defensed. His 6.0 sacks and 14 quarterback hits were both the second-most among NFL rookies in 2024. He also tied Marco Coleman (1992) for the fifth-most sacks among rookies in franchise history. Robinson's growth and development came into focus particularly in the second half of the season after logging his first-career sack in Week 9 against AFC East rival Buffalo. He recorded another sack in Miami's Week 10 victory over the L.A. Rams on Monday Night Football and logged multi-sack games against New England in Week 12 and at Houston in Week 15. Robinson was also pivotal in Miami's Week 16 win over San Francisco. He sacked quarterback Brock Purdy for a loss of seven yards on second-and-10 with less than a minute remaining in the game that helped cement Miami's victory. Robinson was selected by Miami in the first round (21st overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Penn State, where he played two seasons (2022-23) and totaled 41 tackles (31 solo), 9.5 sacks, three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He transferred from Maryland, where he recorded 19 tackles (12 solo) and 2.0 sacks as a true freshman. He is looking to become just the third player in Dolphins history to win AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. Defensive tackle Tim Bowens won it in 1994 and linebacker A.J. Duhe earned the accolade in 1977. Winners will be announced at NFL Honors presented by Invisalign on Thursday, Feb. 6 at 9 p.m. ET at Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. The show will be broadcast on FOX and NFL Network and streamed on NFL+. Fans may visit www.nfl.com/honors for more information. By ML Staff. Content/Image courtesy of Miami Dolphins

Have you noticed that Tarot readings is getting crazy popular all of a sudden? This ancient divination tool has experienced a surge in popularity in all corners of the Land of Liberty in recent years. What once seemed like just another mysticism or fortune-telling trend has changed. Today, tarot cards are widely embraced for both spiritual exploration and self-reflection. Image by methaphum / Adobestock So, what exactly stands behind its popularity? Why are we witnessing this modern renaissance of tarot in the United States of America? Below, we will talk about some of the main reasons why Intuition Cards are hooking more and more fans at the moment.   #1 People Need More Me-Time Let’s face the truth – we all are living in the ‘too-much’ era. In other words, we always have too many to-dos, too hectic schedules, and a bunch of goals that we strive to achieve in order to become a successful version of ourselves. Needless to say, such overburden makes us feel absolutely exhausted at the end of the day. So, it’s no wonder that more and more fatigued individuals start tarot reading rituals when they feel like burnout is about to kick in. Both tarot reading online  or in-person let us make both time and space for ourselves and reconnect with our inner voices that are screaming ‘Help!’ As we shuffle the cards and lay our spreads, we have a chance to breathe in, breathe out (finally), and identify what we need to boost our mental well-being. #2 Mental Health Issues DO Appear to Be Rising This section is closely linked with #1. It's sad but true. However, with greater awareness of self-care in general and mental health in particular, tarot cards have turned into a popular instrument that can be used for self-reflection and mindfulness. A lot of fans of divination seances perform tarot reading sessions all over the globe in order to deal with their emotions, gain a better perspective in a foggy reality, as well as combat all the challenges along the way. Plus, if you’re looking for a meditative practice experience, tarot cards can help. They serve as assistants for people who need to tune into their intuition and take their self-awareness to the next level.  #3 Social Media Does Its Job Too All those platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook are among the things that played a crucial part in the tarot card’s popularity in the USA. Online users from all parts of the world connect to share daily pulls, watch tutorials, communicate with the experts, share their personal experiences with cards, as well as make this ancient practice more accessible for those who are new to it. Besides, it’s the beautifully designed cards in tandem with easy-to-digest content that hook so many reps of the new generation to the spiritual guidance rituals. #4 Traditional Religious Practices Are Changing In the homeland of Lady Liberty, a lot of people are on the lookout for alternatives to the spiritual practices they grew up on. It seems like individuals in the US need more introspection and personal experiences. That’s what tarot is all about! It’s a source of easily accessible (sometimes in just one click!) and flexible instruments used to explore your own unique personality without feeling the limits of organized religion. People say yes to tarot cards because they find them reliable and simple partners to help them gain clarity, understand their inner selves, and (re)find guidance in their routine. Image by volkovslava / Adobestock #5 It’s…Fun! After all, what else is needed? Who said that tarot cards are supposed to be just esoteric means? Why not make it part of some fun routine, such as corporate events, parties with friends, or…weddings? A lot of tarot fans value cards for their entertainment nature, much like  a trendy party game . It turns out that a simple deck can become a fun and engaging way to talk about life, spark interesting conversations, and ponder over philosophical life themes. It’s not a surprise that this kind of entertainment value has made spiritual guidance cards part of today’s mainstream culture. #6 People Need to Feel More in Control Unfortunately, we all are living in a world full of uncertainty. The latter becomes the reason why so many frustrated and mentally tired individuals search for ways to feel more control over their lives. They believe tarot cards can become a unique assistant in the uncertain darkness. They use them for self-empowerment which, in turn, helps them make wise decisions based on their insights and intuition. And to be honest, gone are the days when people were trying so hard to get to know what the future has in store. Instead of peeping into it, they use tarot to get a better idea of their personal and professional paths and embrace potential changes. #7 Tarot Is Creative A lot of storytellers, sculptors, and artists of all kinds use cards to get their imagination juices flowing. Whether in need of a new plotline, inspiration for the next painting, or collection of clothes, artists can draw a card to combat the writer's or artist's block. Find out your character’s next steps, the theme for your next drawing, or a style for the new website that you have to create as part of your IT courses in a single card pull! Trending in America Is ON! Getting more and more popular among the fans of esoteric cards in the United States of America, the tarot reflects the grandiose shift in the cultural niche . People are more interested in mental health, wellness, self-discovery, and spiritual exploration. They perform reading sessions to gain insights, boost their creativity in case the muse is gone, fuel personal growth, or simply kill time when in company with family or friends. More and more modern readers understand the potential of the cards. The result? The audience hooked by the tarot seances in the New World will keep on growing in the years to come.   By ML Staff.

From rainy conditions in round one, to frigid and sunny in round three, two juniors battled the elements and came out on top. Kaden Puranik secured a two shot victory in the Boys Division and Leonie Tavares won by four shots in the Girls Division. Boys (13-15) The round one stage was set with cool north Florida temperatures and an overcast sky. A light drizzle softened the course and allowed for scores to go low. Kaden Puranik wasted no time and took advantage early. He showed great composure on the greens and birdied two of his first four holes, going out with a bogey-free 34 on his opening nine. Making the turn at 2-under par, he faced a minor setback by carding a bogey on his tenth hole of the day. However, the 2027 grad from Kissimmee immediately bounced back and would roll in four more birdies and a bogey to card the low round of the day. A 4-under par 68. Three other players would end the day in red figures, looking to add some pressure on Puranik in round two. These players included Ambrose Kinnare and Giancarlo Aguirre who sat just one back at 3-under par.  The wind began to pick up during round 2, but it had little effect on Kaden Puranik. He picked up right where he left off in round one, with birdies on two of his first four holes. Adding one more birdie on hole nine, he would fire an opening nine hole score of 3-under 33. While Puranik was hot early, Giancarlo Aguirre and Ambrose Kinnare looked to close the gap. Aguirre overcame a bogey on hole 2 with three birdies for a front nine total of 2-under 34. Kinnare holed out for eagle on the short par-4 2nd and ultimately would match Puranik’s front nine score of 3-under 33.  Puranik would bounce back after a double bogey on the difficult 14th and finish his round with a 3-under 69, sitting at 7-under for the tournament. Both Aguirre and Kinnare found themselves in trouble on the back nine. Kinnare and Aguirre would come in with a 41 and 39 on the back nine respectively. This meant Puranik would carry a 5 shot lead into the final round.  The final round was delayed due to frigid overnight temperatures and frost on the ground. Seminole Legacy would prove why it is one of the toughest golf courses in the state. The key to success in round 3 would be to eliminate big numbers when possible. Puranik showed great composure again and was able to battle the tough conditions, firing a 1-under 35 on the front nine. Kinnare was able to close some of the gap, firing a 3-under 33 on the front and sat 4 shots back at the turn.  Ultimately, Puranik was able to fend off a last minute charge from Kinnare to claim his second FJT title at 6-under for the weekend. Girls (13-15) Leonie Tavares came ready to play in round one. Combining great ball striking and putting, the 2029 grad went out on the front nine with a bogey-free 33 to make the turn at 3-under par. Despite the winds picking up later in the day, Tavares stayed focused and remained consistent. She would card two bogeys and two birdies on the back nine to have the low round in the girls division with a 3-under par 69. Lilly Parker of Palm Beach would card the only other round under par for the girls. Like Tavares, she rolled the ball very well on the greens, carding four birdies on the day. Two bogeys on the front nine put her at 2-under par for the tournament and one off of the lead. Not too far behind were Sadie Goodman and Dannika Hines at 1-over par.  It was smooth sailing for Leonie Tavares on her opening nine holes in round 2. She would card nine pars and hold on to a comfortable lead as she made the turn. However, Seminole Legacy began to show its teeth as the winds picked up later in the day. Tavares surrendered four bogeys and only one birdie on the front nine to fire a second round 3-over 75. Putting her at even par for the tournament. Looking to make some noise was Natalie Angelo, from Bradenton. She matched her round one total of 74 and sat four shots back at 4-over par. Sadie Goodman would post a solid round of 3-over 75 and sat 5 shots back of the lead. With stronger winds and even colder temperatures forecasted for round 3, it was still anyone’s game.  After nine holes in the final round, we saw a few things shake up on the leaderboard. Tavares would go out at 3-over par. Looking to come from behind was Sadie Goodman. The 2027 grad would play very consistently on her opening nine and posted a 1-over 37, closing the gap on Tavares. It would be a fight until the final putt dropped. Tavares ended up rolling in two birdies to finish her round and claim victory at 3-over par. By ML Staff. Content/Image courtesy of FSGA
