The University of Miami is no stranger to being honored by Playboy. Over the years, the school has picked up the mag’s best party school designation quite a few times and now the football team gets the nod as the 9th best college football team of the college era (a…

For almost the past nine years, at least one former player for the Miami Hurricanes has scored a touchdown in a regular season NFL game. That historic streak came to an end last night. After U alums went scoreless on Sunday, the sole Cane playing in Monday Night Football, nose…

​As the NBA lockout drags on, fears grow that local stars like Dwayne Wade and LeBron James will spend the next nine months playing overseas or, even worse, on weird tours through the Midwest. LeBron has even hinted that he might swap the hardcourt for the gridiron.But will he go…

Dhafir Harris, AKA Dada 5000, king of back-yard fights, has plenty to be thankful for. Three years ago, the Perrine native decided being a member of Kimbo Slice’s entourage wasn’t for him, so he set out to become the P.T. Barnum of Miami’s back-yard fighting circuit. We chronicled the early…

The Heat’s LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are about to embark on a “homecoming tour” of charity games with several other NBA stars. Unfortunately for us, “homecoming” does not mean another charity game in Florida. Instead, the four-city tour will include James’s and Wade’s actual hometowns of Akron and Chicago,…

A few months ago, Yahoo! Sports’ piece about claims made by convicted Ponzi schemer and Miami Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro put the phrase death penalty on a lot of folks’ lips. As the months have passed, though, there’s little indication that the NCAA’s punishment will be so severe. Sure, the…

The Miami Dolphins beat the struggling Buffalo Bills yesterday 35-8, with help from a defense that hasn’t allowed a touchdown in 12 consecutive quarters. Miami’s defense created turnovers, set up touchdowns for the offense, and scored a special teams touchdown, suddenly making the Dolphins the hottest team in football outside of Green…

​OK, so maybe Michelle Obama didn’t actually break any barriers yesterday in Homestead as the first black woman ever to watch a NASCAR race. She may well have set a different, all-too-predictable record, though: most heartily booed MC at the season-ending race south of Miami.Broadcast live on ESPN, Obama and Dr…

The Dolphins have scored 158 points total this season. Between field goals and extra points, kicker Dan Carpenter has scored 68 of those points. Basically, the dude is responsible for a ridiculous 42 percent of the Dolphin’s scoring this season, including the Jets game where he was the only person…

​Hector Lombard insists he is getting no love from his compatriots in South Florida. Born in Matanzas, Cuba, Bellator’s middleweight champ is a fast-rising star in professional mixed martial arts. Yet he is not getting any recognition from South Florida’s Cuban community, Lombard laments as he prepares for his Saturday-night…

For a team that has had one of the lowest payrolls in the past few years and claimed they could only spend $155 million to build their own stadium, the Miami Marlins certainly seem to have a lot of money to be throwing around all of the sudden. After reports…

Most Dolphin fans are still in “Suck for Luck” mode, but with two straight wins under their belt, some members of the team apparently still have playoff hopes alive. Which isn’t exactly impossible, just largely improbable. Then again, with a 2-7 record they are only 5 games behind the leaders…

One conspicuous absence from the Miami Marlin’s big celebration on Friday to officially unveil their new name, logo, uniforms, color scheme and stadium: Billy the Marlin. Usually a centerpiece of most team events, the world’s only fish with feet was nowhere to be seen, leaving some to wonder if the mascot wasn’t making the move…

According to a report from Fox Sports, the Marlins have extended a six-year contract to Jose Reyes worth $90 million. That would make him far and away the highest paid player in the franchise’s history, and if true is an indication that owner Jeffrey Loria really is willing to put…

Will we have to wait until 2013 to see if LeBron James can make good on his promise of bringing back the NBA Championship to Miami? It’s looking more and more like that may be the case.Today, the NBA Players Union have rejected NBA Commissioner David Stern’s latest offering and…

Well that about wraps it up for the first overall pick. The Miami Dolphins were able to both grab an early lead and then not vomit all over it by taking down the vaunted indomitable unconquerable mostly shitty Washington Redskins 20-9 yesterday at Sun Life Stadium.The win snaps a seven-game…

The Marlins will officially unveil their new logo and uniforms tonight at 9. (That they didn’t hold the event at 11:11 this morning seems like a loss, but oh well.) The logo and alleged mockups of the uniforms have already leaked, but Uni-Watch apparently has the first actual picture of…

Don’t feel bad about not having much love for Dolphins coach Tony Sparano. NFL players don’t like him much either.The Sporting News polled 111 current players on which coach they’d least like to play for, and Sparano came in second, just one vote behind NY Giants coach Tom Coughlin…

Today is supposed to be the big day for the newly re-named Miami Marlins. Tonight the team unveils its new uniforms and, perhaps, a new blockbuster signing.But at least five players on the 40-man roster probably won’t be celebrating. Their fellow countryman and ballplayer Wilson Ramos was kidnapped on Wednesday…

DeQuan Jones, a University of Miami men’s basketball player, will sit out the entire 2011-2012 season as investigators look into Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro’s claims that he paid Jones’ family to secure his commitment. Jones was the only current basketball player named in the Yahoo! Sports investigation into Shapiro’s ties to…

Does Jeffrey Loria lie awake at night, in his Britto-decorated pajamas, trying to think of new ways to be disgusting? Tomorrow night–11/11/11!– the owner of the mediocre baseball collective soon-to-be-formerly known as the Florida Marlins will throw his crowning gala at the new stadium. To commemorate the team’s rebranding as…
