Here we go again, Dolphins fans, another season is upon us and you know what that means! Probably pain and suffering! But maybe not! Woo-hooo!? Outsiders love to poke fun at Miami Marlins crowds and Miami Heat fans that arrive late, but few dare question Miami Dolphins fans loyalty. Dolphins…
Bye-bye, Sony. The tennis tournament on Key Biscayne has a different, slightly less commercialized name and a new sponsor. The tournament will now be known as the Miami Open Presented by Itau. Not sure what Itau is? It’s one of Brazil’s largest banks, naturally, which only makes sense considering the…
Just because LeBron James decamped back to Cleveland, it doesn’t mean that the Miami Heat’s fashion credentials are going anywhere. In fact, it’s the only professional sports team we can think of where not one but two players have their own designer necktie lines. Following Dwyane Wade’s collaboration with The…
It’s official: Miami Dolphins football is back. Well, the real thing is still a few weeks off, but the Dolphins fumbled away a game-winning drive twice in a matter of 30 seconds in their preseason loss to the Falcons last Friday, so you can tell the real thing is just…
Further cementing the notion that Miami is now the American capital of performance enhancing drugs controversy, the Miami Dolphins’ safety Reshad Jones had been suspended for the first four games of the season by the NFL. He’s the second members of the Dolphins defense to receive the fate after testing…
Tonight is the Dolphins’ first preseason game as they travel to Atlanta. Unfortunately, Miami fans, we no longer have a LeBron-sized blankie to help us feel better come November when shit in the South Florida sports world starts to turn south due to that annual rite of passage we’ve unfortunately…
The ball screamed off Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer’s bat, clocking 101 mph as it rocketed toward the outfield. Sixty feet later, it smacked into the head of Marlins relief pitcher Dan Jennings, catching him flush before he could react. It’s a nightmare scenario for any pitcher, and the video of…
No stranger to stirring shit up, Dan Le Batard has found himself in hot water once again after erecting a LeBron-trolling billboard in Akron, Ohio. USA Today’s the Big Lead confirms ESPN has suspended Le Batard from his ESPN2 show for two days. See also: “You’re Welcome, LeBron – Love,…
Last month, Ohio newspapers refused to take The Dan LeBatard Show’s money for a simple “You’re Welcome” message to LeBron James in their publications; it appears they have chosen poorly. Thwarted in their first bet to poke fun at LeBron’s lack of thanking Dade County fans on his way out…
When LeBron James headed back home to Cleveland, he forgot to pack something Heat fans hoped he’d take with him — namely, the national hate for Dade County’s fans. Before LeBron came to Miami, no one really had a problem with Heat fans, but while he was here, Heat fans…
Kevin Olson hasn’t even taken a single snap for the Miami Hurricanes yet, but he’s already finding himself in heaps of trouble. The redshirt freshman has been suspended for one game after failing a drug test. He was also suspended during last year’s bowl game while redshirting…
Joey Grosso’s name wouldn’t be familiar to most Hurricanes fans. In fact, he had played the linebaker position at UPenn from 2010-13, and was ready to start law school at the University of Miami this fall. Using his remaining eligibility, he qualified as a walk-on for the Hurricanes and had…
The Richie Incognito bullying scandal may have long ago faded in the sports news cycle, but it’s still certainly on the mind of those in the Miami Dolphins locker room. In fact, the players unveiled a new shirt today with the team’s new “credo,” which takes a very pro-bonding, anti-bullying…
When it comes to Christmas, I just want to open some presents, eat some ham, and pass out early after drinking copious amounts of eggnog. I do not want to see people I love fighting — and that includes basketball players who used to play together for my favorite team…
The countdown is on. Miami Hurricanes football is just thirty-three days away from returning when the Canes face the Louisville Cardinals in their opener September 1.

Biogenesis proprietor Tony Bosch didn’t spend all his time cooking up elaborate doping procedures for MLB stars like Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun. As reported in Blood Sport, the new book on the Miami scandal, Bosch also had a huge network of regular clientele, from UM students to high schoolers…
Dwyane Wade and former Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall run a summer sports academy for kids up in Illinois, but this summer it apparently turned into an episode of “Kids Say the Darndest Thing.” Apparently one young camper couldn’t help but ask Wade a common question of any Heat hater: “Why…
After some early hope this season, the Marlins will play their 100th game tonight and are marred in mediocrity. It’s actually an improvement over the past two seasons, but the team is still 6.5 games behind in the wildcard race. Rather than trying to beef up by making trades, the…
Does LeBron James’ defection to the Cleveland Cavaliers mean the Miami Dolphins could regain the top spot in Miami fans’ hearts? That’s the question many have been asking this past week as the dust settles from the Miami Heat’s loss of the best player in the NBA. Miami has always…
The Miami Hurricanes are gearing up for their 11th season in the ACC and have yet to even win the conference’s Coastal Division. That counts as a fall from grace for a team who used to be in the national title conversation every year. But damn it, at this point…
Dada 5000 — the Mohawked, muscled monolith born Dhafir Harris but better known as the P.T. Barnum of Miami’s backyard fisticuffs — spotted them through the window. It was July 5, and the promoter was chilling at home, the same “Famous Green House” where thousands of knuckle-busters and bloody noses…
