After the surprise and sudden dissolution of Miami’s big three last summer everyone involved tried to keep their head held high about it, publicly at least. LeBron James was returning home. The Heat still had a strong core of talent. Of course, fast forward to nine months later, and LeBron…
The Miami Marlins annual parade of mediocrity has gotten off to a start that’s downright terrible even by their standard. The team is 3-10, the second worst record in the league, with notable pitching problems. Well, we all know on of Jeffrey Loria’s favorite things to do, besides waste taxpayer…
Let’s hope that Micky Arison has been paying close attention to Miami Heat Twitter this weekend instead of watching the playoffs that his team is frozen out of for the first time in four years. Because with the NBA Draft looming as the Heat’s biggest moment in 2015, an extremely…
Burnie, the Miami Heat’s anthropomorphic flame mascot, may be one of the most enduringly popular parts of the franchise, but one local elementary school teacher is taking the team to court after claiming that Burnie injured her during an event. That teacher, Susan Sanchez, claims she volunteered to participate in…
We’re number ten … in the reverse standings! Last night the Miami Heat played one of the weirdest games in basketball history, a game that would have made James Naismith regret ever inventing the game if he had would have risen from the dead and purchased a ticket to the…
It’s official; the 2014-15 Miami Heat season will end in shocking disappointment on the court. Last night, the team was finally mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. A mixture of bad luck and bad performances the second-half of the season resulted in the Heat missing the postseason for the first time…
Sometimes more is not necessarily better. The Miami metro area is one of just 12 in the entire nation to host a team from each major sports league. One team or another is in season all year long, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Especially when your team don’t…
In case you’d been traveling internationally and were planning to catch up on your DVR with the last two weeks of Miami Heat basketball, we’ll save you the time: the Heat crapped the bed. Six losses in the last seven games — topped by another wrenchingly tight loss to Toronto…
After last night’s 105-100 win against the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat fans find themselves between a rock and a hard place entering the last week of the season. Miami players keep dropping like flies and even the supposedly healthy guys like Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic obviously aren’t one-hundred percent…
Remember how the Miami Marlins spent hundreds of million of dollars to build themselves a new stadium with a fancy retractable roof? Remember how one of the main selling points was the fact that it tends to rain a lot in South Florida, and playing in the roof-less Sun Life…
Every once in a while — even in Miami — a story will emerge to restore your faith in humanity. This is one of those stories, and it all started in a place that’s hardly been a well of good feelings lately: American Airlines Arena, home of the floundering, injury-wracked…
When a Twitter-storm erupted two weeks ago around Marlins pitcher Jarred Cosart and a series of messages seemingly between him and a pair of gambling experts, two central questions quickly emerged: Were the messages legit? And did they point to anything darker than Costart putting a few bucks on college…
Dwyane Wade seems have taken the news that the Heat and Cavs split their regular season series much too literally. Wade entered last night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers already battling a stomach bug, so the last thing he needed was for a wet Quicken Loans Arena floor to surprise…
We’ll just cut to the chase. We know local fans are “go big or go home” types. The Miami Hurricanes Men’s Basketball teams trip to the National Invitational Tournament (the Independent Spirit Awards to the NCAA Tourney’s Oscars; the middle school spring luau to the NCAA’s Senior Prom) hasn’t exactly…
It’s time to meet your 2015 Miami Marlins, Miami. Take a walk around, get a good look at everything, because there have been some home improvements. Early reviews of the remodeling have been overwhelmingly positive, but being a Marlins fan is like being one of Derrick Rose’s knees; one minute you might…
On the same night as Wrestlemania 31, a familiar Miami tag team helped the Heat to a much needed 109-102 win. The The Heat already need every win they can get at this point in the season, but with the Spurs and Cavs appearing on their schedule next, Sunday’s game against…
Just like actual Hurricane season, the Miami Hurricanes football season has been pretty uneventful for the past few years. The team hasn’t been in the National Championship discussion for more than a decade, and hasn’t even won a conference championship since they were part of the Big East. Three coaches…
Don’t the Jacksonville Jaguars have it rough enough? They’re Florida’s least popular and least successful NFL team. They’re plagued by attendance and performance issues, and just about everyone expects them to one day maybe by shipped over to London on a permanent basis. To make matters worse, the team’s official…
The allegations tying Marlins pitcher Jarred Cosart’s to sports gambling all began last night with a Twitter post by @GhostFadeKillah, a guy in New Jersey with 1,110 followers. A screencap he posted appears to show Cosart asking someone for advice about bets. But where did that screencap come from? New…
Starting pitcher Jarred Cosart came to the Miami Marlins last summer hoping for a fresh start after a sometimes rocky tenure with the Houston Astros. Instead, he finds himself this morning amidst a Twitter-storm of allegations tying him to gambling. MLB is now looking into the claims, a spokesman tells…
The Miami Heat’s seemingly cursed 2014-15 regular season is mercifully clanging toward the finish line, and there’s surprisingly more gas left in the tank than most Heat fans would have expected. Despite a crushing one-point loss to the Bucks last night, the Heat are still clinging on to the seventh…
Last July, Alexander Figueroa was one of two players who was promptly kicked off the Miami Hurricanes football team after an arrest on charges that he and teammate JaWand Blue drugged and raped a 17-year-old girl on campus. Figueroa ended up avoiding jail time and will have his felony charges dropped…
