Minkah Fitzpatrick gets a $16.245 million signing bonus in his restructured Dolphins deal
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins agreed Sunday to a restructured contract that adds a $16.245 million signing bonus to the All-Pro safety's deal. Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the restructured deal, which was first reported by ESPN. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick in a trade with the Steelers last month that sent All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh. Fitzpatrick, who became one of the top safeties in the NFL with the Steelers, returned to the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2018 and traded him away at his request in 2019.

Slumping Tigers, Rising Challenges -- Meeting Adversity Head On
Manager A.J. Hinch #14 of the Detroit Tigers Slump! One of the words that bedevils teams at every level, but particularly in professional baseball, is in part because the season is so long. Players experience them individually. Teams go through them collectively. There's an old saying that says baseball is like life, only more so. And that's why watching how teams cohere, compete to win, and continue to persevere through the highs and the lows of the season makes it so instructive. And often it's when times are most challenging that the best lessons emerge. Slump in D-town Take the Detroit Tigers. After a surprising finish last season, which saw them make it to the Division playoffs, the Tigers maintained their pace, posting the best record in Major League Baseball until just before and after All-Star Game when they went won one game in 13 tries. What can be done? Evan Petzold, beat writer for the Detroit Free Press, did an extended interview with manager A.J. Hinch. His answers will reflect his long career in the game, as a World Series-winning manager with the Houston Astros, a catcher, and, yes, a psychology major at Stanford. Face reality Facing reality does not mean accepting it. 'You can write a laundry list of things when teams aren't going well about what's going wrong.' Knowing what's wrong does not mean you can fix it right away. "It's hard enough to press the reset button after a good time, where you win a series… The morale is good, but it's tough on these guys.' Competition is not going to make recovery from a slump easy. 'Baseball is going to push back a little bit and make you play the next day and the next day and the next day.' No teams 'we play [are] going to feel sorry for us. We've got to play better." Hinch likes what he sees in his players. "We're not pouting and sulking… There's a ton of togetherness. There's a ton of guys trying to find solutions." He adds something that every manager in any endeavor says: that it's not effort, it's "execution." And that is hard. Lessons to learn All of us face slumps, times when no matter how hard we try, we cannot seem to make a difference. And so, when that happens, it is essential, as Hinch reveals, to take stock of who you are, what you can do, and what you need to do to improve and make changes when possible. Above all, you need to believe in yourself. Losing confidence erodes your ability to bounce back. Hinch himself is no stranger to adversity. After winning the World Series with the Astros, he was suspended for one year for not doing enough to prevent his players from using video technology to steal signs from opposing teams. While he disapproved of what his players were doing, he accepted the consequences. 'Because wrong is wrong, and it was very wrong, and I'll make sure that everyone knows that I feel responsible. Because I was the manager and it was on my watch, and I'll never forget it.' That mindset no doubt gives Hinch a perspective on resilience that is essential for leading through tough times. As a fan, I hold out hope that the Tigers will regain their poise and continue on their winning ways. As a student of leadership, I am sure that the lessons managers like A.J. Hinch share will be valuable to anyone in management. After all, Hinch believes in his players. 'We're trying to keep our chins up, keep our chest out and realize we're still a first-place team. We're one good win away from potentially taking off again."

American Airlines passengers evacuated after plane catches fire during takeoff
Passengers aboard an American Airlines flight from Denver to Miami were forced to evacuate using the emergency slides after their aircraft experienced a mechanical issue during its takeoff roll on Saturday, July 26. According to the airline, a tire blew while flight 3023 was preparing for takeoff. The plane then rapidly decelerated on the runway, which resulted in "a minor isolated brake fire that was quickly extinguished by the Denver Fire Department." Social media video shows passengers coming down the slides and running away from the Boeing 737 Max 8. American Airlines said all 173 passengers and six crewmembers were evacuated safely, although the airline acknowledged that one passenger was transported to the hospital for further evaluation of a minor injury. "All customers and crew deplaned safely, and the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team," the airline said in a statement. "We thank our team members for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for their experience." Cruising Altitude: Another Boeing plane issue? Don't fall for the headlines. According to American Airlines, all passengers were accommodated on another flight using a replacement aircraft later in the day. The Federal Aviation Administration said it is investigating the incident. Video of the evacuation also shows many passengers taking their belongings with them during the evacuation, which is not advisable. "During an evacuation, seconds matter. The time you take to grab something from in front of you or from the overhead compartment, it's wasting time, and that time could result in a fatality," Anthony Brickhouse, director of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Forensic Lab previously told USA TODAY. "It creates clutter, and it could damage the slide, which can make it inoperable … The most important thing is to get yourself out of that aircraft as quickly as possible." Zach Wichter is a travel reporter and writes the Cruising Altitude column for USA TODAY.
