This week’s Beauty Unlimited feature is Isis. She wants every- one to know that she is a force to be reckoned with, and she won’t stop until she reaches her goal of total success. She feels confident that doors will open for her, and she’ll be allowed to show every- one what she’s made of. Congratulations to Isis as this week’s Beauty Unlimited feature.
The Miami Dolphins have the perfect bridge quar- terback on their roster in Ryan Fitzpatrick, and his presence should allow them to be patient with Tua Tagovailoa.
But if Tagovailoa shows he is ready for the big stage, the Dolphins are not going to force him to take a redshirt year.

One of the biggest ques- tions is how many franchises would actually be involved in any resumption.
Although the Golden State Warriors are the only team mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, many will sensibly argue Golden State's fellow cellar dwellers stand to gain little from playing out what's likely to be an abbrevi- ated regular season.
