Sequels are notoriously terrible. The Godfather III, Rocky V, and Jaws 3-D come to mind. Oh, and the week after one of the most memorable Dolphins wins of all time came a terrible followup. Seven days after the “Miracle in Miami,” there was no miracle in Minneapolis. Instead of making a stunning comeback, the Dolphins died a sleepy, serene, uneventful death against the Minnesota Vikings.
When there is an intersection of profit and making fun of the Patriots, the internet never fails to capitalize.
The Miami Heat’s “Vice” jerseys are the best in the National Basketball League. ESPN today declared them the “coolest” uniforms in basketball. More important, South Floridians love the alternate color scheme: Neon Vice merchandise is all over the region. The jerseys are the highest-selling alternate uniforms in NBA history, and the team is now even peddling the neon Vice logo on car license plates.
We find the perfect gift for Miami sports stars.
The Dolphins were 69 yards from the end zone, down five points with seven seconds left and no timeouts remaining. The game, and likely the season, seemed over. Knowing the Dolphins had but one shot at a Hail Mary attempt, the Patriots dropped back tight end Rob Gronkowski as a…
The Heat needs to do the right thing and start the greatest player in the history of the franchise.
Neymar’s response to Beckham: “David, it’s done! I’ll come to Miami, your city, your team.”
The Miami Heat, which collapsed in the third quarter during last night’s game against the Orlando Magic, is an unmitigated disaster.
There wasn’t much talk leading up to Sunday’s Dolphins-Buffalo Bills game. It was just another sleepy December matchup between two listless teams perpetually fighting to see who can finish runner-up to the New England Patriots in the AFC East. Nobody outside Buffalo and…
Every Heat game played this year is one less chance to witness the greatness of Dwyane Wade. As games disappear from the schedule like figures in Back To The Future photos, the reality still hasn’t fully set in that soon Wade will no longer perform that glorious shot fake…
Both glass-half-full and half-empty brands of Miami sports fans can agree on one thing: The Miami sports landscape could use some serious injections of energy and excitement. This is one of the most dynamic cities in America. It’s vibrant and proud. No one could ever mistake Miami for some middle…
The Dolphins’ Sunday afternoon matchup with the Indianapolis Colts was basically a playoff game. At 5-5, losers of five of their last seven, and toward the bottom of a bunch of teams tied for the last playoff spot in the AFC, the Dolphins couldn’t afford to lose to the Colts,…
Ryan Tannehill is back behind center for the Miami Dolphins this Sunday after a five-game absence due to multiple shoulder issues. He returns just in time for a pivotal game against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, who are also 5-5 and tied for the final Wild Card spot in the AFC…
This is a time to give thanks and acknowledge all the good people and things for which you are truly grateful. Thanksgiving is a happy day when everyone comes together to feast. Nobody hates it. It’s almost impossible to be negative on a day all about food, family, and watching football…
The bad news: If the season had ended this past Sunday, the Dolphins would have been left on the outside looking in at the NFL playoffs. At 5-5, the team would be the eighth seed in the AFC. The players would be preparing for the draft, not the postseason.
According to Elisabeth Kubler Ross, there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. With the Heat currently a middling, capped-out under-.500 non-contender in a league filled with superteams and ascending second-tier teams, fans have definitely reached the fourth stage. We are bummed. That’s…
Believe it or not, there’s a reason to be happy with the Miami Marlins today. As one might expect, the event doesn’t have anything to do with the team’s roster or on-field performance. But today the Fish formally unveiled a new set of logos and team colors. In what is now becoming a trend for Miami sports teams, the Marlins are switching to a uniform that’s pink, blue, and black.
For most Heat fans this weekend brought bad news: Disgruntled All-Star guard Jimmy Butler was traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Philadelphia 76ers, rather than to the Heat. Some fans thought acquiring Butler would have returned our Vice jersey-wearing ballers back to the NBA Finals conversation. Then the Heat, an underdog…
Most everyone works hard all week to get to the weekend. Said weekend often involves a good dose of sports for those who choose to partake. Normally, sports provides a nice getaway. It’s something to invest in and enjoy after a long week. This past sports weekend had Miami fans…
Reshad Jones thinks it’s time to move on. He thinks everyone should just forget he refused to reenter his team’s crucial 13-6 win last Sunday against the New York Jets. The Dolphins’ safety wants everyone to know he and the coaches are on the same page now, so don’t worry…
It’s officially time to call it — the Miami Hurricanes 2018 are an unmitigated disaster. Sitting in fifth place in the ACC Coastal Division with four losses to their name and a current Sports Illustrated prediction of a meeting with USF in the Gasparilla Bowl should be enough to…
The National Basketball Association in 2017 stumbled upon what might have been the happiest jersey-related accident in the league’s sartorial history. The NBA gave each team a new, third-jersey option as part of the “City” jersey series. Each team got a jersey designed to reflect something about its “culture”…
