I think it’s been proven by now that LandShark Stadium is the dumbest name for a stadium ever, probably by science. But a stadium by any other dumb corporate sponsored name is still a stadium. More concerning is Stephen Ross’s plan to South Florida-up the feel of the stadium, because apparently a stadium…
The AP is reporting something that really isn’t shocking, and we’ve known it in our hearts for some time, but according to its sources, LeBron James will win the NBA MVP award. Not Dwyane Wade. So yeah, that was pretty anticlimactic…
Oh, Selena Roberts. The Sports Illustrated writer unleashed the biggest sports story of the year by revealing Alex Rodriguez had tested positive for steroid use during his Major League Baseball career. And then, to quickly capitalize, she wrote a book, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez. It was originally slated…
The Heat’s season ended yesterday pretty much the same way it played out all year long — as a one-man D-Wade show. Unfortunately for the Heat, Sunday’s game was one of those “Wade can’t possibly carry these clowns all by himself” duds, instead of those “Holy crap, Wade is carrying…
If only Kenneth Clark Loggins had a beer company and a ferocious appetite for marketing.
There seemed to be something almost poetic about the rumors that Jason Taylor might return to the Dolphins. Well, maybe not poetic, but sort of like a happy ending to a romantic comedy or something. However, it seems that Bill Parcells and staff has stopped showing interest in a reunion, according…
Selena Roberts made a name for herself by breaking the Alex Rodriguez steroid story, but, dammit, she has a book to sell, so she saved just a little bit of hot, juicy gossip for her tome. The New York Daily News got a hold of an advance copy of the…
Time to shave that Rasputin-length win-beard. The Marlins are at last back in the win column after a season start that can only be described as more confusing than Charlie Crist’s sexuality.Somehow the Fish won 11 freaking games before they lost two and then decided to go on a seven-game…
We were on the top of the world, and getting everybody’s attention. Regis Philbin inserted the Marlins into his daily Senile Round-up. Philadelphia sportswriters were warning fans that the Phillies had more than the Mets to worry about. “They’re not a mirage and they’re not going away,” wrote the Daily…
Just a couple of weeks into his new gig as Florida International University basketball coach, Isiah Thomas is already beginning to exhibit his world-famous people-person charm.High school forward and Jacksonville native Chris Rozier had been offered a b-ball scholarship to FIU before Thomas got there. But apparently the new coach…
Richard von Houtman does not like Dwyane Wade. Today, von Houtman and business partner Mark Rodberg filed a federal antitrust suit against Wade and right-hand man Marcus Andrews for pulling out of their D Wade’s Sports Grills franchise after allegedly demanding a larger share of the venture in return for…
The Super Bowl has been held in the Miami area more often than any other city. In fact, with next year’s game, the total will be ten, nearly a quarter of all Super Bowls played. Let’s not get it twisted — we’re the Super Bowl’s main chick. Sure, he might…
Remember this moment the next time you hear Jeffrey Loria whining about how much he needs a new stadium to keep the Marlins profitable. Remember it next year, when Loria sells off Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla, Josh Johnson, and any other Marlins player who might command more than a few…
Look at that face to the right there. Just look at it. Don’t you wanna punch it? And don’t even try to harp on how that face was right about steroids and yadda, yadda, yadda. We, for some unfathomable reason, read most of the second book written by that face…
Now that you’re out of a job too, why not come work for us?
Deep breaths, people, deep breaths.Yes, the Florida Marlins have the best record in the MLB. Yes, we’re 11-1. Not to be a Debbie Downer, though, it’s worth noting six of those wins come at the expense of the Nationals, who are shaping up to be the 2007 Dolphins of 2009…
We’re predicting at least one use of the word hater in the comments section of this post, so allow us to preface this by saying: We would sacrifice our teenage daughter to Kobe Bryant if that would mean the Heat bringing home a championship. And we’d love to see Dwyane…
When it came to the Marlins stadium deal you had the ardent fans (all 600 of them) and the people who stood to make bushels of money rooting for it, and a bunch of rightfully concerned civic watchers hoping for its defeat, but when things were said or done the…
A few months ago, Miami hosted the first BCS Championship game to be shot in 3-D. Next year, the city might host the first Super Bowl streamed online. CBS, which will broadcast next year’s game, is hoping to persuade the NFL to bring the big game into the Internet age. The…
Berkman ushered in the new era with the words, “I’d like to personally welcome Isiah Thompson.”
So, Florida International University canned its basketball coach yesterday after a 13-20 campaign, reportedly so the school can replace him later today with a man more hated in New York City than the Red Sox and Patriots combined: the one, the only… dramatic pause… Isiah Thomas! Riptide hasn’t seen FIU’s…
Is Alex Rodriguez trying to reinvent himself as MLB’s unofficial ambassador to gay fans one swing of his “bat” at a time? First, he begins an intimate “friendship” with Madonna, then he appears in omnisexual men’s magazine Details leaning in for an intimate moment with a man (OK, a mirror image of…
