Usually halftime contests involving fans at sporting games are silly affairs, but the contest slated to go down at the Miami Dolphins’ home opener this weekend seems ridiculously tough. The team will give three fans a chance to win $10,000 if they can kick a 60-yard field goal. Think about…

With seven minutes left in the second quarter on Sunday, the Dolphins looked like a team that seemed to have turned the corner. The defense was playing more like the aggressive squad that had played well last year, the Dolphins receivers were catching the ball on offense, rookie quarterback Ryan…
“Oh, down 14-0 on the road in the first quarter,” some of us might have thought. “Whatever, we did it last week.”If that gleeful optimism wasn’t wiped away once you realized the ‘Canes were playing a ranked opponent and not an ACC bottom dweller, Kansas State certainly reminded you of…
Sure, things might come together for the Miami Dolphins this year. Ryan Tannehill could quickly develop into a stud. Our offense may surprise. Joe Philbin might reveal himself as a true coaching genius in his first season. The team might make the playoffs. You might win the lottery. The polar…

Kind of like the last-place finisher in a footrace between a tortoise, a sloth, a three-legged pug and a snail, David Garrard is officially the loser in this season’s Dolphins QB contest. According to multiple sources, including Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Garrard will be officially released by the team today.That…
Thirty-nine is a pretty old aged to start getting into the rap game, but perhaps Juwan Howard is starting to think about his post-NBA career. The Miami center who won his first NBA championship with the Heat last year but isn’t guaranteed to come back for next season appears on…
For about eight minutes it seemed like the worst predictions about this year’s young Hurricanes squad seemed like they were going to come true. Boston College racked up two TDs, while the Hurricanes could only muster a four and out. It was like we were watching the Dolphins, and we’ll…
It’s not so great to be a Miami Hurricane.The cloud of an NCAA investigation looms over the program all because a pathetic, Ponzi scheming manchild decided it would be a real cool idea to buy the friendship of college kids. Much of the ballyhooed-but-ultimately-disappointing 2008 recruiting class is off somewhere…
Never mind the Lakers’ new monster-like lineup. Don’t worry about the maturing Thunder. According to a Sports Illustrated poll of NBA insiders, including head coaches, general managers and other executives, the Miami Heat are the early favorites to take home next year’s Larry O’Brien trophy. Which, you know, duh…
In what is typically the most uninteresting and uneventful of all preseason games, the Dolphins conducted business-as-usual by falling to the Dallas Cowboys 30-13 last night, completing the 2012 preseason with only their third winless effort in franchise history.The Fins followed up in the most appropriate way possible: By literally…
Chad Johnson’s usually overactive Twitter account has been pretty quiet ever since his August 11 arrest on domestic violence charges. Mostly he’s retweeted a few things and talked about his children. But Johnson returned to Twitter this afternoon, admitted he “messed up,” and finally realized he was no longer an…
A funny thing is happening with this year’s installment of Hard Knocks. Previous seasons focused on obvious, larger-than-life coaching personalities in Rex Ryan, Herm Edwards and Brian Billick, but the idea behind this year’s inside look at the Dolphins was to cut out all that cute shit and pull back…
One would hope their team’s football coach’s favorite fictional character was some hyper-masculine conquerer like Conan the Barbarian or Mel Gibson’s take on William Wallace in Braveheart. Sure, it would make them a drag to talk to at parties, but identifying with such brave warriors would hopefully channel into their…
With his icon status its easy to forget that LeBron James was just a child in the ’90s, and like all millennials he recognize 1996 film Space Jam as the true cinematic masterpiece that it is. So obviously King James would love nothing better than to star in Space Jam…
While there are plenty of talking heads doubtful that Al Golden’s young Miami Hurricanes will even be able to win six games this season, old Howard Schnellenberger put down his pipe for a second, traveled down to Coral Gables, took one look at the team, and decided they were just…
The Miami Dolphins have traded former first-round pick Vontae Davis to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2013 second-rounder as well as a conditional late-round pick. Obviously, this is a move that makes sense on several fronts given the Midas-like wealth of talent the Dolphins possess at virtually every position on…
