Al Golden has only compiled a 13-11 record as head coach of the Miami Hurricanes, but he’s done so under difficult circumstances. His efforts have caught the eye of other schools’ Athletic Directors, and he’s been rumored as a possible candidate for recent vacancies at Boston College and Tennessee. Now,…
The Miami Dolphins have shown a knack all season for hanging with good teams only to vomit into their own pants when the game is on the line. It happened last week against the Patriots and it happened again yesterday against the 49ers as the Dolphins lost 27-13, despite being…
There’s been a lot of interesting rumors about the job prospects of various former University of MIami head coaches this week, but man, oh man, this one just hurts.Randy Shannon is rumored to be in contention to become the next defensive coordinator for the Florida State Seminoles, and nothing is…
Sorry Golden Panthers fans, your team won’t be getting former Hurricanes coach Butch Davis. After the shocking firing of head coach Mario Cristobal, rumors emerged that Davis was the school’s top choice. Which made a certain amount of sense, considering Davis has a long history with FIU’s Athletic Director Pete Garcia. …
So it comes to this: your Miami Dolphins take that loooong west coast flight to face the 8-3 San Francisco 49ers. A few weeks ago this looked like a great matchup: a rising Dolphins team with playoff hopes facing the one-time object of our affection, Jim Harbaugh, and the team…
Do you have a college football team that’s little more than a couple JuCo rejects and a dream? Is it basically a hole in the ground? Well, freshly fired former FIU coach Mario Cristobal would like to remind everyone that he specializes in turning laughingstocks into semi-respectable players. Perhaps most…
Shortly after leaving his gig last year as producer for Miami-based documentary maker Rakontur, the company that brought the world Cocaine Cowboys and The U, Evan Rosenfeld went on a journey to the Far East in search of a project for his directorial debut. “I took a trip to India,…
In a tense interview on ESPN’s “First Take” today former NFL player Chad Johnson admitted that he the confrontation with his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada that lead to his arrest on domestic violence charges earlier this year stemmed from his own infidelity.”I made the bed. I’m going to lay in it,”…
Perhaps FIU’s surprise firing of Mario Cristobal this morning makes a little bit more sense now. Butch Davis, the man who helped rebuild the Miami Hurricanes in the late ’90s, is rumored to be the top candidate for the job…
Just a season ago, FIU football coach Mario Cristobal’s name was being tossed around as a possibility for some very high profile coaching gigs at bigger schools. Instead he decided to stick with the Golden Panthers. Apparently loyalty doesn’t pay. The school fired Cristobal today after a disappointing 3-9 season…
Yunel Escobar promised to be the strip-mined Miami Marlins’ most interesting player next year. The Cuban shortstop had loads of talent, plus an unmatched ability to act incredibly dumb — like last season, when he was suspended for writing the anti-gay slur “Tu Ere Maricon” on his eyeblack.Well, Escobar’s Miami…
The Marlins have pretty much traded away every notable player on the roster not named Giancarlo Stanton, and it appears that Jeffrey Loria and his staff might be prepared to let the young slugger go, too. For the right price that is…
Come January 7, either the Alabama Crimson Tide or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be hoisting the championships trophy in the middle of Sun Life Stadium. For local sports fans, either way it will be a stomach churning affair. Could there have been a more nightmarish mashup for fans…
Going into Sunday’s contest there was a feeling the Patriots’ offense could easily drop 60 points on the Dolphins’ atrocious secondary. Instead, Tom Brady had probably his worst game of the season, the defense kept the Fins in it for most of the game and rookie QB Ryan Tannehill had…
Let’s not kid ourselves.There’s a very good chance Tom Brady and Co. are going to come in to Sun Life on Sunday and absolutely destroy the living crap out of our football team. However, the one thing we have going for us is that (hopefully) no one on our team…
The Heat managed to pull out a 105-100 victory last night despite the Spurs fielding a team without Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker or Tim Duncan — all of which were sent home by Coach Gregg Poppovich to San Antonio after playing 4 games in the last 5 nights. Without San…
Yes, it totally makes sense that if Jacksonville Jaguars fans wanted their own version of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ famed “Terrible Towel” they would call it the “Jag Rag.” We’re just not sure if the creators realized that name would induce fits of laughter in anyone who is or ever was…
When the Marlins signed Mark Buehrle last year, the starting pitcher soon realized that his pet pit bull Slater wasn’t welcome in Miami thanks to the county’s pit bull ban. At least in South Florida he had the option of moving his family up to Broward County, where the dogs…
We know that the Hurricanes’ football season was kind of a bust. And we know that despite some stronger than normal preseason hype, Hurricanes basketball already dropped a game to Florida Gulf Coast this month. We know some of you might not be ready to place your trust in the…
Is LeBron James’ image rehabilitation complete? After claiming the MVP award and his first ring last season, the King is back atop the NBA’s list of best-selling jerseys. The list is released twice a year, and James hasn’t been on top since April 2011. In fact, he had dropped to…
Beware: cargo shorts are such an absolute scourge on men’s fashion that not even Michael Jordan can get away with wearing cargo shorts anymore. And he’s Michael Jordan!MJ just got kicked out of Miami Beach’s fancy-pants (and we mean that quite literally) La Gorce Country Club for breaking their dress…
The Miami Heat’s lease on the American Airlines Arena doesn’t expire for another 18 years, but the team has informed Miami-Dade County that they’d already like to tack an additional 10 years onto the agreement. Of course, under that current agreement the team hasn’t paid a single dime to the…
