The Miami Dolphins lost their first road game of the season Sunday, falling 26-10 to the Baltimore Ravens, a team that is exactly like the Dolphins in every way except without all the interceptions and missed tackles and special teams blunders and dropped passes. The Dolphins are now 4-4 on…
Yes, we know it’s a week after Halloween. But as a Miami blog with a taste for the ridiculous we just couldn’t sleep with ourselves if we didn’t post the following video of Shaq channeling Beyonce in his “Shaquita” Halloween get-up — which, by the way, is worlds funkier than…

LeBron James’ latest Nike ad continues to be parodied, and this latest version featuring the pissed off citizens of Cleveland is some serious shit. The bitterness and pure unadulterated hate emanating from these people is, honestly, quite scary. Mixed in with footage from the original commercial is clips of various…
Oh how it must eat away at Isiah Thomas every day that he’s sitting in his FIU offices coaching a Sun Belt team, while just a few miles away the Miami Heat have become the most talked about team in the NBA. In a chat with ESPN New York, Thomas…
From denying us an interview with Banana Man, to issuing an all-expenses-paid invitation to The Guy Who Wore a Heat LeBron Jersey to a Cleveland Indians Game, to rescinding said invitation, is anybody else getting the feeling that the Miami Heat’s PR office is a very bizarre place?…
We are a sickly lot here at the New Times. Our desks are covered with asthma inhalers and antibacterial gel. We are still wearing surgical masks 16 months after swine flu ended. Hell, we even have to bathe in SPF 90 sunscreen every morning lest we burst into flames walking…
So remember Matthew Bellamy? He was the brave man who got booed and escorted out of a Cleveland Indians home game by police simply because he dared to wear LeBron James’ Miami Heat jersey. Yeah, we never thought we’d ever hear about him again. Well, according to an unconfirmed report…
Remember those rumors and reports saying the Miami Dolphins were interested in acquiring Randy Moss after the Minnesota Vikings released him? There were even reports the Dolphins contacted Moss earlier this week. LIES! ALL LIES!!…
Anyone care about the Marlins anymore? Did someone just raise their hand? Oh, the guy in the corner wearing an Ocean Conservancy Group T-shirt. Sorry, we mean the Florida Marlins baseball team, not the actual fish.Anyway, the Marlins have hired Edwin Rodriguez to lead the team for at least another…
In the world of professional sports it’s a rarity when a hometown boy gets to play on his city’s professional teams. Mack Lamb was the first Miami native to ever suit up in the aqua and orange and remained in the community ever since. He passed away recently at the…
Ever since “The Decision,” many a pundit or has-been player has weighed in on LeBron James’s controversial move to the Miami Heat.But their critiques have largely been air-balls, lacking in aim and precision.

LeBron James’s decision to take his talents to South Beach seemed to be a marketing disaster, in the short run at least. For a while, it seemed to be impossible to find a LeBron fan outside South Florida. Surprisingly, though, his latest namesake sneaker, Nike’s LeBron 8, is selling just…
We have developed an unhealthy obsession with Hollywood Whiskey Tango Bar & Grill’s offer to buy patrons’ $25 tab if the Miami Heat lose. It speaks to both the gambler and the drunk in us…
Randy Moss sure has had a weird season. The day after the Patriots came to Miami and handed the Dolphins their dorsal tails, he was cut from the team. He ended back in Minnesota, where he just didn’t gel with Brett Favre (not that anyone wants to “gel” with Favre…
Dwyane Wade’s main goal in life right now is to bring championship rings back to Miami, but this Halloween, he found time in his busy schedule to bring sexy back. That’s right: He dressed up as Justin Timberlake, complete with “whiteface.” No word on whether his girlfriend, Gabrielle Union, wore…

How do you respond when one of your biggest rivals calls you a lap dog, arrogant and questions your competitiveness? By completely smashing them in the face with your awesomeness and beating the crap out of them by 26 points. That’s one way to go about it. And, coincidentally enough,…
Tonight is the Miami Heat’s home opener against the Orlando Magic at the American Airlines Arena. The Heat are asking fans attending the game to dress in black. Boy do the Heat love doing that shit. But it’ll be totally worth dressing up like some kind of religious cult if…
