The Miami Marlins’ 2019 season is officially in full swing. The team managed to split the season-opening home series against the Colorado Rockies and look scrappy despite losing two to the Mets. Tonight, they go up against New York ace Jacob deGrom. Although the Fish are expected to be the…
One down, 161 to go. If the Marlins’ Opening Day, 6-3 home loss to the Colorado Rockies is any indication, a little patience and understanding from fans will definitely go a long way this year. The intrigue is there, but the odds will be against the team daily. From…
The results are in and we’re calling it: The Miami Heat got the best LeBron. It’s over. Break out those special cigars and that bottle of limited edition small-batch whiskey you were saving. We freakin’ did it, Miami. Cleveland Cavaliers? Yeah, LeBron willed…
Tomorrow night, the Miami Heat will play the Orlando Magic. It’s a huge game that has massive playoff implications. With fewer than ten games remaining, the two teams are neck-and-neck for the eighth and final seat at the Eastern Conference Finals table. But none of it matters. The most memorable moment will take place during halftime.
Now that the Ryan Tannehill seven-year saga is finally behind the Miami Dolphins and Ryan Fitzpatrick has signed a two-year deal to act as a bridge to the future, the search begins for the next great Dolphins quarterback. The consensus opinion…
The Heat is playing a game of musical chairs for one of the final spots in the Eastern Conference NBA playoffs. With just a few weeks left in the season, the Heat is within striking distance of the sixth seed, but also, unfortunately, the…
The NCAA Tournament field was announced last night, and to the surprise of no one Miami’s 14-18 record wasn’t good enough to punch a ticket to the dance. It’s the second year in a row the Hurricanes will miss the tournament, which, if we’re honest, few will notice. Miami…
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has been a cornerstone of the team since 2012, was traded to the Tennessee Titans Friday. The Dolphins will get a fourth-round pick in 2020 as well as a 2019 seventh-round pick, while the Titans receive Tannehill and a sixth-round pick in 2019, according…
One year ago, in this very space, we pleaded with the Miami Dolphins to sign Miami native and former Miami Northwestern High School and Louisville star Teddy Bridgewater. It made sense heading into last season, knowing full well that Ryan Tannehill might miss games (he did) due to…
After years of the Dolphins trying and failing to make it work, it’s clear Ryan Tannehill’s seven-year tenure with the Miami Dolphins is about to come to an end. And following the Denver Broncos’ trade of Case Keenum to the quarterback-needy Washington Redskins, there are officially zero NFL teams…
Cam Wake always represented the Miami Dolphins will class and integrity, even when everything around him was on fire and crashing to the ground. Wake deserved better than the past decade’s Dolphins, but he never complained or asked out.
Rakontur Productions’ new Miami steroid documentary, Screwball, hits theaters on March 29. We’d like to say we’re promoting the film simply because it’s an absolutely hilarious, only-in-Miami crime-caper, black comedy, and piece of journalism all rolled into one. But there is more to it. Though all that is true, we are…
It’s the worst kept secret in the NFL — nobody wants to be featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” the wildly popular behind-the-scenes training camp series that airs on the network each summer. It’s every team’s worst nightmare and they’ll do anything to get out of it. But the Miami Dolphins should beg…
The date was June 26, 2003. The NBA draft was taking place in Madison Square Garden. The Miami Heat held the fifth-overall selection. The pool included some of the most talented players ever. it was important the Heat get this one right. In retrospect, no one, not even the Miami Heat,…
The Heat’s expensive veteran-rich roster cannot out-tank putrid teams like the Phoenix Suns or New York Knicks. Two-thirds of the season is gone, and the results are clear — the team is terrible at being terrible. Atlanta, which Miami plays tonight at home, has two first-round picks ahead of…
It’s been a long work week and you deserve a reward — something you didn’t even know you needed in your life until now — something that will make you laugh at first, then smile, and in the end, probably cry tears of joy. You deserve a video of Dwyane…
In an astounding last-minute victory over the NBA champion Golden State Warriors, Dwyane Wade hit an astounding buzzer-beating three-pointer that renders completely irrelevant how lousy the Miami Heat’s season may end. The all-star guard, who is playing his last season, had a more-than-solid game, scoring 25 points in…
Heat season is winding down and the team is fading from playoff contention. So it’s time to assess Dwyane Wade’s stay in Miami. There have been ups, downs, memories, and heartbreaks. It’s also time to recognize something else — Wade is the greatest athlete Miami has ever seen…
This past Saturday night, the Heat’s season died. The team’s 119-96 loss to the Detroit Pistons was as ugly as it was sad. It dropped Miami’s record to 26-32, good for the tenth spot in the East.
There has definitely been a 66-percent-on-Rotten-Tomatoes sort of feeling about the Marlins’ new look, but on the bright side, the revamped logo and uniforms are a massive improvement from the Circus Circus Las Vegas strip look the team donned prior. Beggers can’t be choosers, we suppose. As it turns out, a new study found Marlins fans weren’t the only people underwhelmed by the team’s new look. People outside Miami had the same feeling.
Pitchers and catchers reported for the Miami Marlins last week, which means one thing: It’s almost time to yell at Derek Jeter again. For everything. Just in general. All baseball faults are his. This time last year, Derek Jeter was getting an intense taste of what…
Fans who weren’t paying attention this past week may be surprised to learn the Marlins mascot, Billy the Marlin, has a new look as well. And by “new look,” we mean “sleeping was fun while it lasted.”
