• Buffalo in the City

  

  Photo Credit Photo illustration by Maurico Alejo The paparazzi must be pleased with the vogue for buffalo plaid — with all the acres of fabric, deep red and black thickly crisscrossing, marking their quarry clearly. Have you recently breezed through the celebrity-photo pages? Reese Witherspoon snapped, leaving her car in a parking lot, while wearing a buffalo-plaid shirt and a smart skirt. Gwen Stefani, spotted toting her toddler to church, has bundled the boy in a lo..

• Bills G.M. says he's “absolutely” looking at top quarterbacks in draft

  

  APThe Bills have previously expressed confidence in keeping Tyrod Taylor as their starting quarterback, and he’s about to play in his first Pro Bowl (for whatever that’s worth any more). But neither of those things will preclude them from using a high draft pick ta the position if the fit is right, according to Bills General Manager Doug Whaley. “We’ll do it because if you look at it, unfortunately we have two quarterbacks on the roster and both of them are entering the last year of their con..

• What AILES Trump?

  

  Fox News erred by going polemical. A long time ago I met Roger Ailes. It was Monday November 2, 1970. The next day my candidate -- conservative James L. Buckley -- would be elected United States Senator from New York. More than a week before the end of Jim's campaign, I had helped raise $300,000 (in 1970 dollars) from John Mulcahy, a wealthy confidante of Richard Nixon and Nixon's "funding solution" to help Jim. As revealed on the "secret" 1972 Watergate tapes -- Nixon would call Mulcahy "the ..

• Should The Times Have Been a Tougher Watchdog in Flint?

  Almost a year ago, last March, The Times published a frightening article about the drinking water in Flint, Mich. Here’s an excerpt: When fecal coliform bacteria showed up in parts of the city last summer, residents were told to boil their water before using it. Officials addressed the issue by pumping extra chlorine into the system, but in solving one problem, they created another. The high chlorine levels led to elevated levels of total trihalomethanes or T.T.H.M., which required another publi..

• Michael Sam on playing football: “I'm going to give it one more shot”

  

  APWe haven’t heard much from former Rams draft pick Michael Sam since he left the CFL under dubious circumstances last summer. But the former Missouri defensive end apparently hopes to play again. In response to a question on Twitter yesterday about continuing his playing career, Sam said “I’m going to give it one more shot.” It’s unclear if that’s a plan or a wish, as no one has documented interest in bringing him aboard. When he left Montreal last year, he said it was because he wasn’t get..

  Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter NASHVILLE (CBSMiami/AP) – The NHL’s new All-Star format could have goalies shaking in their pads.
