The Miami Dolphins lost to the New York Giants 31-24 last night, officially eliminating them from playoff contention. They are now out of the hunt. There is no more hunt! Oh no, we suck again! The Dolphins are always bad and it’s pretty lame. What isn’t bad or lame, however,…
Just days before being named Sports Illustrated’s Sports Person of the Year, tennis superstar Serena Williams was caught hailing a cab to finish her own charity 5K race on South Beach. Williams was in town for her Live Ultimate Run, which raises money for her charity the Serena Williams Foundation. Williams…
The Miami Dolphins will take on the New York Giants on Monday Night Football early next week, but with the team all but totally mathematically eliminated from the playoffs there’s not much riding on the game but bragging rights. Yet, Dolphins fans are more excited than usual. Why? Because the…
While plans to bring a fifth professional sports team to the area now are firmly in place thanks to David Beckham and his partners finally securing a site for an MLS stadium, South Florida was in some danger of losing its fourth pro-team. The Florida Panthers continue to bleed money,…
With the well-run Miami Heat constantly giving their fans reasons to look forward, sometimes the franchise has a tendency to forget to look back at the past. Last year, the team’s “Heat Lifer” campaign last year made us all a little nostalgic for where it all started. Back in the…
What’s the beef? The Miami Heat beat the LeBron-less Cleveland Cavaliers back on Friday 99-84 — but you knew that already. Heat fans broke out in a hilarious “LeBron Is Tired” chant late in the big win, referencing James deciding to sit out the game due to fatigue caused by…
Three years ago, Porter Fischer sparked the biggest steroid scandal in baseball history when he leaked files from the Biogenesis clinic to Miami New Times. Fourteen MLB players were later suspended in the saga, none more visibly than Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees superstar who lost a whole year on the…
In many ways, Mark Richt is unlike any head coach the Hurricanes have hired in their recent history. He’s not a coordinator getting his first shot at the captain’s chair, nor is he a promising talent plucked from a mid-major. The man has spent 15 years coaching in College Football’s…
The Miami Hurricanes have reportedly interviewed a good portion of the high profile names that have been floating around as possible replacements for Al Golden. Well, everyone but Texas’s Charlie Strong and current Alabama offensive line coach and former ‘Canes player Mario Cristobal. That list however does include recently fired…
Jeffrey Loria is the most despised team owner in Major League Baseball, not just among local fans — who he’s spent years antagonizing with brutally bad rosters and a highway robbery stadium deal — but also among fellow owners and league officials. Barry Bonds, meanwhile, left the game in 2007…
David Beckahm hasn’t built a soccer stadium in Miami yet, but he has built a graveyard of failed soccer stadium plans. Much like attempts to build a stadium near American Airlines Areana and at PortMiami, Beckham and his business partner’s latest plan to build next to Marlins Park in Little…
Black Friday, the day Americans decide cheap waffle irons and flat-screen televisions are enough reason to hurdle other shoppers, face-smush an old lady, and dive into Macy’s before the doors close like in Indiana Jones. It’s a tradition like no other. Being a sucker for an unbelievable deal isn’t unique…
The Miami Heat are your rock. They are Netflix on a gloomy South Florida Winter day. They make you feel more emotion on a nightly basis than any Adele album ever could. They are waking up in the middle of the night and remembering tomorrow is Saturday. They are chicken…
There are few cities in America quite as in love with their primary area code as Miami. It’s pretty much in every Miami rap song. Pitbull calls himself “Mr. 305,” and has an upcoming Miami-set drama in the works called “305.” You can see it on tattoos, hats, shirts and…
In summer 2012, lawyer Laurence Leavy was late to a Miami Heat playoff game. Before the matchup began, the team had laid out white T-shirts on every seat so the crowd would match. “But somebody had stolen my shirt,” he remembers, so he remained in a gaudy bright-orange Marlins jersey…
The Miami Marlins are what happens when you remove any semblance of magic from professional sports and reveal it to be the cold hard public welfare-leaching business it is. In just the latest attempt to alienate every possible person in South Florida, the team has reportedly parted ways with long…
The Miami Hurricanes flew to Puerto Rico this weekend for ESPN’s Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament as an unranked team pegged as finishing somewhere in the middle of the pack of the ACC. They returned as not only tourney champs but as now the most buzzed about team in college basketball…
The clock is ticking on David Beckham’s quest to build a new soccer stadium in Miami-Dade County. The sports icon and his business partners have until just December 5th to have a plan ironed out and presented to Major League Soccer. That doesn’t mean a plan has to be totally…
Maybe it’s not even a question of whether anyone out there likes the Miami Marlins. Maybe it’s one of whether anyone doesn’t think the team is a pox upon the house of Major League Baseball. If it was’t bad enough that most Miamians don’t particularly have warm feelings for the…
In a race that was going to last hours, trouble came just a minute after the starting gun. Caryn Lubetsky, a local mother, law professor, and veteran distance racer, was competing in the Ironman triatholon in Panama City Beach last Thursday, a grueling endurance race that combines a 2.4-mile swim,…
Remember when as a kid you dreamed about your parents putting your little sibling up for adoption? Well, The Heat have pretty much actually done that. According to several reports, the trade of Mario Chalmers to the Memphis Grizzlies is all but official, bringing to end the point guard’s more…
As if the week couldn’t get worse for the University of Miami football team, now a player is sitting behind bars on charges of domestic battery and has been suspended indefinitely from the team. Defensive Lineman Michael Wyche, a former USC recruit with a tragic history, was booked at 4:50…
