Orioles third baseman Manny Machado confirmed on Thursday that he is engaged to be married to girlfriend Yainee Alonso, but he did not say whether a date has been set for the wedding. Alonso is the sister of one of Machado's closest friends, San Diego Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso, who played college baseball at the University of Miami. Machado said he and Yainee were brought together by the baseball connection with her brother, but it's also the result of the close-knit nature of the sports community in Miami.

The kick knifed through the thick fog and split the uprights at Memorial Stadium, giving the Colts a 10-7 victory in sudden-death overtime. In a flash, fans swarmed the field. Down came the goal posts. Up went Toni Linhart, on someone's shoulders. Linhart's 31-yard field goal defeated the rival Miami Dolphins late in 1975 and all but clinched Baltimore's first of three straight AFC East titles. It was the kick of a lifetime for Linhart, who died Sunday morning of cancer, at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium . He was 70. One of only six Austrian-born NFL players, Anton Hans Jorg Linhart signed with the Colts in 1974 after one season with the New Orleans Saints and an 11-year soccer career in Europe.

MIAMI - The Miami Dolphins' series of offseason headaches turned into a crisis this weekend when star running back Ricky Williams told coach Dave Wannstedt he is retiring - a week before training camp. Despite attempts by friends and colleagues to talk him out of quitting, Williams said yesterday he was overjoyed by his decision, one that has been months in the making. "You can't understand how free I feel," Williams said before boarding a plane in Hawaii and heading to Asia to begin several months of travel.

Rules are rules Brian Hamilton Chicago Tribune There are a lot of nonsensical and/or hypocritical NCAA rules, and one certainly can stand on a soapbox and shriek that punishing players for breaking those rules is just as hypocritical and silly. But rules are rules, and private encounters with prostitutes on a yacht are private encounters with prostitutes on a yacht, so something has to give here. If Miami is interested in never vacating the 2011 season, it must sit any player in question until he's cleared.

I stick with my original opinion of the Miami housewives -- if Elsa is in an episode, it's probably a good episode. Marysol's mother Elsa, opens the episode by threatening to hit a drag queen with her pocket book. Leah finally confronts Marysol and surprisingly apologizes to Marysol.  But Marysol doesn't accept her apology or the invitation to her gala. Adriana confronts Karent (finally) after complaining about "beating her to the tweet" for the last two episodes. Adriana tells Karent she interrupts, is a copycat and thrives on the spotlight. Alexia, a housewife from last season who chose not to be on the show this season because her son was in a very serious car accident, agrees with Adriana.

Cautious sanctions Dieter Kurtenbach Sun Sentinel It'd be foolhardy to expect the NCAA to let Miami to skate by on time served. But when they come out, I expect the sanctions to be cautious and reeking of deflected insecurities. The NCAA handcuffed itself when President Mark Emmert said Wednesday that minimal evidence was acquired through illegal means. I'm not buying that. Emmert would have tossed out the minimal evidence and sent Miami the notice of allegations if that were the case.

Sunny Odogwu made a big impression on St. Frances' football team during the fall of 2011, but it was his first year of organized football and the Nigeria native needed a little more time to develop his skills before heading into a top-notch college program. After graduating from St. Frances, Odogwu spent last fall at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., honing his skills and drawing more and more attention from college coaches. At 6 feet 9, 315 pounds, the offensive tackle had more than 30 offers.

With the 198th pick in the 2012 NFL draft (sixth round), the Ravens drafted speedy Miami wide receiver Tommy Streeter. The Ravens have said they hoped to add a wide receiver during the draft, and Streeter is a tall vertical target that, in theory, would help them expand their developing downfield passing attack. A hair under 6 feet 5, Streeter has excellent downfield speed for his size. At the scouting combine, he ran the 40-yard dash at 4.40 seconds, which was among the top times among wide receivers.

Disregard Nate Silver David Teel Daily Press Nate Silver likes Louisville, Florida, Indiana and Gonzaga, and given his Obama-Romney projections, disagreeing is perilous. But let's anyway. Ohio State has won eight straight, including a road conquest of Indiana and Big Ten tournament wins over Michigan State and Wisconsin. Miami won the ACC regular season outright, and the league tournament, and six of the last eight teams with that double have reached the Final Four.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Before this past offseason, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado spent the previous two offseasons training with Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. Machado - the Orioles' 20-year-old wunderkind third baseman - has often been compared to Rodriguez. They were both highly touted prospects coming out of Miami, catapulting through the minors as power-hitting shortstops. When the Orioles and Yankees faced each other in the American League Division Series last October, the headlines of the New York papers trumpeted Machado as Rodriguez's protege.

Maryland has yet to win an ACC road game going into Wednesday's matchup with Florida State in Tallahassee. In fact, the Terps have won only two of 12 games they have played away from Comcast Center under second-year coach Mark Turgeon. Considering what has happened in the ACC this seaon, Maryland has plenty of company in its road misery. Going into this week, ACC teams have won just 10 of 39 road games in the league this season - including only two of the last 21 played before Tuesday night.

Stacy Keibler was along for the ride as Demi Moore kept the tabloids entertained this week in Miami. The New York Post reports this morning that Keibler and Moore partied like champs Wednesday at Art Basel, first at a dinner party hosted by Chanel -- where apparently Moore befriended a stray cat, letting it sit on her lap during the meal, the Post reported. Then, the two headed off to an after party where, according to the Post, guests included Lenny Kravitz and Will Ferrell. And then, approaching 1 a.m., it was off to yet another bash at a karaoke bar. Keibler and Moore reportedly danced and Keibler tossed back tequila shots.

On paper, Maryland's two biggest wins this season have come against Notre Dame and Miami. The 78-71 win over the Irish at Verizon Center in the BB&T Classic gave the fans hope for this season, but it came against a tired team on the back end of a West Coast trip trying to figure out how to play the rest of the season without its leading scorer. The 75-70- win over the Hurricanes on Tuesday night at Comcast Center came against a team that had won six of its past eight games and had beaten Duke in Durham, N.C., two weeks ago. The team the Terps were facing, and the way they came back by scoring 10 straight points in a game-closing 14-4 run, was the reason their win over Miami was the first signature win of the Mark Turgeon era. Here are some thoughts about how things played out: If the win over the Irish showed Terrell Stoglin's talents as a big-time scorer, the win over Miami showed that the sophomore point guard is buying into Turgeon's season-long struggle to turn his best player into a team player.
