The Dolphins 12-10 loss in Seattle this past weekend was certainly a kick to the junk for Dolphins fans hoping to see them get off to a fast start, but believe it or not, there were actually some positives that came out of the defeat. It’s too early to have…
As protests swept through the NFL during Sept. 11th ceremonies, four Miami Dolphins players kneeled during the national anthem before last night’s game in Seattle to protest inequality and police brutality against African-Americans. Even more remarkably in a league where top officials have all but called for riot police to…
It’s no secret that Florida International University has struggled to fill its stands for home football games. The Panthers dipped below the NCAA-mandated average attendance of 15,000 in both 2012 and 2014, putting its Football Bowl Subdivision status at risk. So this year, FIU is offering rewards to students who go…
Hey there, little guys and gals, are you excited for another Miami Dolphins football season? That’s right! Your mom and dad could learn something from your positivity! I bet your parents have told you about how exciting and dramatic things used to be around this time of year. No? Oh,…
The wait is finally over. Football tailgating season is finally back! Also of note: Miami Hurricanes football is back! This Saturday, the Hurricanes host Florida A&M in the season opener for both teams. Half the fun of going to a Canes game happens in the parking lot well before the…
Nick Barbella can pinpoint the exact moment he tumbled down Jeffrey Loria’s rabbit hole. It was late August, and Barbella was pleading with a Miami Marlins sales rep to be allowed to hand over around $4,900 for a season ticket package — and repeatedly being refused. “That’s when it hit…
We feel your pain, Miami. Not only is it Monday, but you just spent your entire weekend stuck in the house because of drenching rainstorms from a tropical wave. You deserve a little bit of a distraction this morning. Thankfully, the internet specializes in such things. Here we have stumbled…
Miami Hurricanes football is just ten days away. We can almost see the smoke and hear Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” already. But this Canes season is different: the stakes are exponentially higher thanks to another coaching staff reboot. The fan base is as restless and thirsty as ever to get back…
In two weeks, the University of Miami Hurricanes will kick off a new season inside a newly renovated stadium, which just underwent a $500 million facelift. Now that home field, most recently known by as New Miami Stadium but still called Dolphins Stadium by most, has a new name: Hard…
Back in 1993, a 17-year-old Alex Rodriguez hit .505 as a senior at Westminster High — the last time he played for a team in his hometown. A record signing bonus from the Seattle Mariners ensured that he never got an at-bat with the University of Miami, where he’d committed…
Watching preseason NFL football is like watching a remake of your favorite show with completely different characters. Would you watch Breaking Bad if Scott Baio played the role of Walter White? Maybe out of morbid curiosity, but like preseason football you’d never make it to the end. You’d probably check…
The sports scene in South Florida is in flux. With the departure of Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, sports fans are facing an identity crisis. When a person in Omaha, Nebraska thinks Miami sports, who do they think of now? Since 1984 the answer to that question has been pretty…
Let me say this to all you perpetually negative Miami Dolphins fans; you’re being ridiculous. The 2016-17 NFL season marks a fresh start for the Dolphins, a time where all fans can come together, embrace, pull out their pocket schedule, point to each game, and confidently state “win”. It’s July;…
Take a deep breath, Heat fans. You can sleep now. Because barring some unforeseen blockbuster trade, this offseason is over for Miami. And after the last few weeks of constant disappointment, you have certainly earned a few months off. No more refreshing Twitter to see who Dwyane Wade just followed…
Christian Yelich, the Miami Marlins’ 24-year-old outfielder, is quietly having a very solid season for the Fish, batting .317 with seven homers. New Times earlier this year called Yelich the best player on the team, and though the team’s Giancarlo Stanton has made a mockery of that judgment, Yelich is still a very…
Believe us, Miami Heat fans: We know it hurts. We feel your pain. It’s totally understandable if you feel a little empty inside this week. It’s not every offseason that a legend is unexpectedly plucked from your hometown team and replaced by ex-New Orleans Hornets star forward Luke Babbitt. Not…
After suing nine of his own fans during the last few years, Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has had to get creative to keep upsetting the twelve remaining people who still buy tickets. Against all odds, his team succeeded again in pissing off die-hards today — on what should be of…
In April, City of Miami Police arrested the University of Miami’s star running back Mark Walton in one of the oddest DUI cases in recent South Florida memory. A man resembling Walton, cops said, had pretended to be a cop, pulled a woman over, and allegedly rubbed his genitals on…
For an entire generation of South Floridians, Dwyane Wade is the last connection to long-gone period of sports fandom. When Wade arrived in Miami in 2003, there was no Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, or Instagram. “Hot takes” seemed more like the name of a food truck than a way to describe…
The Kevin Durant sweepstake is over, and the Miami Heat did not win. Dwyane Wade is flirting with joining the Cleveland Cavaliers. Chris Bosh is playing guitar with singer-songwriter Miguel on a yacht, but we don’t know if he will be playing basketball any time soon. Luol Deng, Joe Johnson, and…
In an off-season filled with huge questions for the Miami Heat, Pat Riley has already delivered one undeniable answer. Hassan Whiteside is staying in the 305. In a post published this morning on the Player’s Tribune, the elite 7-foot talent announced that he’s staying with the Miami Heat. The AP’s…
When Al Golden got canned as the Miami Hurricanes head coach, the general feeling was that he was a decent guy who just couldn’t get it together and live up to the hype. “Coach Golden has led our program through some very difficult times and he has done so with…
