Dolphins Coach Adam Gase Clearly Annoyed By Lawrence Timmons Situation
Miami Dolphins head coach, Adam Gase, doesn't seem like a man concerned with the health of linebacker Lawrence Timmons -- he seems pissed off.
We broke the story ... the Dolphins filed a missing persons report with police after Timmons disappeared from the team's Southern California hotel Saturday night.
Timmons was found by LAX police early Sunday morning after he was trying to board a flight to Pennsylvania. ESPN has reported Timmons was supposed to meet with team doctors Monday.
But when Gase was asked about the player and his situation -- he gave short answers and told reporters he hasn't spoken with LT and has no idea where he is right now.
When asked if he's expecting Timmons to remain on the team moving forward, Gase said, "I have nothing to add for what I have right now. Really, just gathering a lot of information ... and I got a few other things I gotta deal with, with the guys that played yesterday."
Yeah, doesn't sound good.

Joe Thomas Celebrates 10k Straight NFL Snaps ... With Bourbon!!
Cleveland Browns legend Joe Thomas threw a Fitz after his 10,000th NFL snap -- and it was delicious.
The 32-year-old tackle threw a 1-man whiskey celebration after his record-breaking game on Sunday -- with a glass of Old Fitzgerald Prime.
But it doesn't appear to be any old bottle -- it seems to be a more collectible (and really valuable) version of the brown stuff (we're still waiting for our liquor experts to wake up).
Thomas hasn't missed a single play since getting drafted back in 2007 ... and has played for 22 different quarterbacks during that time.
Yeah, if we had to play for the Brownies that long, we'd be drinking too ...

Chicago Teen Kenneka Jenkins Cops Release Hotel Video Before Dying in Freezer
The plot thickens in the death of a Chicago teen who was found dead in a hotel freezer, because cops have released a video which shows her stumbling through the hotel shortly before she disappeared.
The video shows Kenneka Jenkins appearing to be under the influence of something ... she's running into walls, she slams into a stairway railing and has no sense of balance.
The 19-year-old went missing Friday night after a party at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and her body was discovered in a hotel freezer a day-and-a-half later.
There's been a lot of suspicion on social media that foul play was involved, but cops have maintained they found nothing suspicious.
Bottom line ... the video shows Kenneka is messed up, but it doesn't show how she got in the freezer.

MLB Commish Rob Manfred Sox Guilty Of Stealing Signs ... Fined Undisclosed Amount
MLB commish Rob Manfred just dropped the hammer on the Red Sox ... fining the club an "undisclosed amount" of money for stealing signs using banned electronic devices.
Baseball investigators determined the BoSox violated MLB rules by "sending electronic communications from their video replay room to an athletic trainer in the dugout."
While Manfred did not specify the amount of the fine ... he did say the cash would go towards Hurricane Irma relief in Florida.
The Sox weren't the only ones lighter in the wallet ... the commish says he determined the Yankees broke a rule prior to the '17 season, so he fined them also.
The amount ... "lesser undisclosed amount" -- also going to storm relief.
We spoke with Manfred last week in D.C. while he was still conducting the investigation ... and he told us the scandal was just a "reflection of competitive activity between two clubs."

Donald Trump I Was Right About Charlottesville!!! 'Bad Dudes' On Both Sides
Donald Trump is back to blaming "both sides" for the violence in Charlottesville ... and gloating that he was right to say it in the first place.
Trump was on Air Force One Thursday when he said he'd told South Carolina's Republican Senator Tim Scott -- the day before -- that there were "bad dudes" on the other side of white supremacist protests.
The Prez doubled down, saying Antifa's actions since then prove he was right all along -- "I said you got some really bad people on the other side also, which is true."
Why he decided to bring up the subject again -- after backpedaling from the divisive remarks -- is anyone's guess.
