Miami has met Florida sporadically (and will again in 2013), but…
In an ideal sports world, referees would not be humans. They’d be highly functioning subhumans devoid of any emotion, desires and just about anything but the sole focus to fairly enforce the rules of the game. Of course, they are humans. Humans who like to get drunk and piss in…

Whatever the Miami Hurricanes road map is to get back to championship contention, it certainly doesn’t go through super-easy out-of-conference games (unlike, say, those Gators). The Miami Herald reports that the Canes are in discussions to open the 2012 season against SEC powerhouse the Alabama Crimson Tide in Atlanta for a…

Earlier this month, multiple reports popped up that World Wrestling Entertainment was trying to secure Tiger Woods as a special guest host when it stages Raw at the American Airlines Arena June 7.

College athletic conferences are always finding new and exciting ways to further screw with the already tortured fabric of college football. The Big Ten has been talking for so long about expanding to 12 in order to get a championship game that we’re surprised it hasn’t happened. Now it seems to have raised…
Led by sharp-shooting Ray Allen’s 24 points, the Boston Celtics put the Miami Heat away last night 96-86, closing out the series and ending the Heat’s season and OH MY GOD, DWYANE WADE, PLEASE DON’T LEAVE!!!It’s the Heat’s second straight first-round exit. In fact, the team hasn’t taken a playoff…

Marlins fans, that proud clan of several hundred clad in teal and black, didn’t spend their off-season dreaming of free-agent fire-throwers. They didn’t lie awake imagining Matt Holiday patrolling left field, or drooling over how the NL East could fall their way. Nope. Fish faithful spent a long winter chewing…
The Miami Dolphins entered the NFL draft with a plethora of needs, most notably at outside linebacker, safety, nose tackle and tight end. They spent their first pick on a defensive end, while pulling the ole switch-a-roo on us and moving Randy Starks to the defensive tackle position. PING! Defensive…
