On Tuesday, LeBron James released a freestyle rap. Last night, he released the frickin’ kraken on the entire Bucks’ buttocks. On numerous occasions in the first half, LeBron unleashed some of the best dunks you will see all year, flying, reversing, and tomahawking his way to the rim seemingly whenever…
Something weird happened at Marlins Park on Monday. People actually showed up. The stated attendance was 37,116, though the actual butts-in-the-seat number was about 35,000. Still impressive by Marlins standards. But it appears that the team just isn’t ready when fans actually show up. The wait for concession food was…
After last week’s loss to the Pacers, most people assumed the race for the first seed was over. Many predicted it would be very likely the Heat would just turtle into some sort of pre-playoff cocoon, content with the second seed in the East. Last Wednesday’s loss to the Pacers…
Some MLB team’s fan bases cover entire states if not large regions of the country. Most are at least the most popular team in every county in their home metro-area. Of course, the Marlins are not like most MLB teams. The Fish have one of the smallest geographical fan footprints…
What began with a Twitter campaign ended with LeBron James realizing the dreams of 16-year-old cancer patient Ebony Nettles-Bey.

Meet your new and improved 2014 Miami Marlins! Now with 100 percent less Logan Morrison but with the same great taste! As Marlins fans get ready for tonight’s home opener against the Rockies, they really should be used to the drill. The Ponzi scheme that was owner Jeffry Loria’s 2012…
Kobe Bryant is the subject of a sobering New Yorker profile that follows the basketball icon as he enters the waning days of his playing career. Bryant takes aim at the Miami Heat during an interview. Not for anything basketball related, but rather, oddly, for the team’s public tribute to…
It’s not often something really sucks and is really fun at the same time, but last night’s Pacers-Heat showdown was both of those things. And you get a feeling it was just round one. The Pacers edged out a 84-83 win versus Miami in a heated, physical, playoff-caliber game in…
Big bleepin’ happy birthday, Chris Bosh. In case you’re wondering how the most interesting man in the NBA celebrated turning 30, it began with a circus-themed party at downtown burlesque club E11even full of naked ladies, cigars, and raining money, and then continued Sunday with a game-saving, last-second block to…
Richie Incognito’s strange public saga continues as he tries to make amends and appears to want to pretend that nothing ever happened. Last week he said he’d like to come back and play for the Dolphins despite there being little chance that’s actually going to happen. Early this morning he…
After checking into an Arizona mental health facility last month, Richie Incognito is finally out and talking to the media again. Last night he told WSVN that he not only wants to return to the football field next season, but he wants to do so in Dolphins teal and coral…
The lone bright spot in just a terribly annoying Miami Heat 101-96 loss to the Boston Celtics Wednesday night was the return of your boy Udonis Haslem. With LeBron James sitting out the game with back spasms, and Greg Oden sitting out on a scheduled day off, UD got the…
LeBron James returned to his old home last night, and he didn’t bother knocking. No, no, he kicked in the door, walked directly to the Cavs’ refrigerator, ate their last snack pack, took a massive Hiroshima dump in their bathroom, asked for their Wi-Fi password, and downloaded a bunch of…
Who do you turn to when you’ve lost your way? Jesus. Because Jesus Shuttlesworth saves. It was Sunday after all. Ray Allen, AKA “Jesus Shuttlesworth,” held a come to Jesus meeting Sunday afternoon, scoring 14 of his Miami Heat career high 25 points in the decisive fourth quarter of the…
Logan Morrison played his entire major league career with the Miami Marlins before being traded to the Seattle Mariners this past December. He published what seemed like a heart-felt open letter to Miamians upon his departure, but apparently his view of the city wasn’t all that positive. He was on…
When news leaked early this week about Stephen Ross’ revised plans to renovate Sun Life Stadium, most taxpayers had the same knee-jerk reaction: Victory! Just a year after public outrage helped sink Ross’ request for $127 million from the county, the Dolphins’ owner was now ready to open his own…
Nets 96, Heat 95. Now that we have covered the game, let’s talk about more important things, like what the hell LeBron James was doing with his feet last night. People instantly realized something weird was going on, namely that every time LeBron took a step, a flash of light…
The Heat have plenty of camera-ready, media-polished personalities. Chris “Birdman” Andersen is not one of them. He was a guest on the Fox Sports post-game show last night and either gave one of the best or worst interviews of all time, depending on your preference for awkwardness. “The losing is…
Tied with Washington entering the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat was on the brink of losing its fourth straight game for the first time since 2010. Just then, Dwyane Wade swooped in and put his foot directly in that possibility’s ass. Wade scored 13 of his 22 points in the…

Ayyyyyyy dios mio! The Los Spurs dropped a biblical ass whooping on El Heat Thursday night in San Antonio, 111-87. No, no, NO me gusta! The Heat were sloppy all night, committing 20 turnovers. When you commit 20 turnovers against the Spurs, it doesn’t have to be Latin night for…
