Over the weekend, the Miami Dolphins swiftly fined and temporarily suspended defensive back Donald Jones after he tweeted that seeing Michael Sam kiss his boyfriend was “horrible.” If we’re being cynical, it was basically a giant corporation that wants nothing more than to avoid off-the-field controversy administering what amounts to…

For a decade, Dr. Jack Ramsay, alongside Eric Reid, was the voice of the Miami Heat on Sun Sports, booming out Lenard! And Slamma! after a Voshon Lenard three-pointer or slam, or hollering his trademark for Tim Hardaway: “This away, that away, Hardaway!” Of course, Ramsay was much more than…
