In the Atlantic Ocean, 17 miles southeast of Miami and 100 feet under the surface of the water, Lazaro Cabrera reaches the sunken remains of a steel freighter and swims inside. The lean 41-year-old, in an army-green camouflage wetsuit, scans for movement. Thirty seconds pass, and then he sees it:…
Miami Dolphins fans going on profane Twitter tirades against the team happens everyday. They can be entertaining, but its usually not news.

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,…
