The most anticipated merchandising ploy of the NBA season is almost upon us: The Miami Heat will soon debut its “nickname” jerseys that will swap out, well, nicknames for the players’ last names on the back of their jerseys. Knicks fan Spike Lee, of all people, apparently got one of…
Yesterday, the normally sleepy Miami-Dade County commissioners were downright joyous. It was like watching a bunch of hapless nerds finally get the attention of a cool kid, and that cool kid happened to be named David Beckham, and he totally wanted to hang. “Go, soccer!” Commissioner Juan Zapata bellowed. “Go,…
It was the game before the game last night. It was sandwiched between LeBron’s old team and the Heat’s biggest threat in the East. It was the 117-94 Heat win Monday night game against the Jazz, because people had already bought tickets, and it was mandatory…
After 7 straight losses against the Pats dating back to 2009, the Miami Dolphins held strong against Tom Brady and a Pats team that had feasted all year on last-minute comebacks. As the Dolphins took the lead with 1:15 to go, the feeling in every Dolphins fan’s stomach was “Oh…
The Dolphins ride into what is the most important game of the season on a 2-game winning streak, with a patchwork o-line working better than the one originally envision, a running game finally getting results and ascending play from young Ryan Tannehill. Last week was a statement game by this…
Come next Tuesday, Miami will likely be one step closer to getting its first real Major League Soccer team (sorry, Fusion, but Fort Lauderdale doesn’t count). That’s when county commissioners will vote on whether to allow Mayor Carlos Gimenez to identify possible stadium locations and enter talks with private developers…
The Marlins have traded first baseman Logan Morrison to the Seattle Mariners. At this point, most Miamians react to anything the Marlins do with a collective shrug, but this –THIS!– is different. We’re losing not only a first baseman but also a local Twitter superstar. In fact, Morrison’s tweet addiction…
Earlier this week, David Beckham’s investment group, Beckham Brand Limited, officially registered a new corporate entity in Miami called Miami Beckham United, which has led some to believe that this odd title could be the name of the Major League Soccer team he eventually brings to Miami…
The Indiana Pacers have had this one circled on their calendars for some time now. They made no secret December 10th, 2013 would be a day of reckoning, a day when they would inflict revenge upon the Miami Heat’s entire house for all the heart-breaking defeats the team has handed…
Jeff Ireland might be the luckiest man in the NFL. Even after the embarrassing Incognito affair, the general manager has reportedly been told by owner Stephen Ross that his job is safe. The news may come as the Dolphins remain firmly in the race for a wildcard spot in the…
That picture shows how close the Miami Dolphins came to one of the most epic losses in the franchise’s history. One-third of an Antonio Brown foot from being Auburn’d right in the butt. Instead, the Dolphins shook off about six demons with a gutsy win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in…
The good news for the Detroit Pistons was the temperature at tip — a brisk 25 degrees, meant the big fat dish of revenge the Miami Heat served was cold. The bad news: The game was broadcast on television, and everyone saw what happens when the Heat gets another shot…
The Dolphins travel to Pittsburgh on Sunday to face a Steelers team that is also in the hunt for the 6th playoff spot (though on life support at 5-7) and are fresh off a week of moderate controversy surrounding their head coach kinda sorta accidentally meandering onto the field. On…
Yesterday came news that LeBron James would be starring in his very first movie. It’s a basketball comedy co-starring comedian Kevin Hart, and not, to the dismay of nostalgic millenials, the sequel to the Michael Jordan and Loney Tunes ’90s classic Space Jam that the world deserves. Dreams of a…
With Chris Andersen missing Thursday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls due to personal reasons, and Dwyane Wade missing the game because of the flu, the Miami Heat decided to honor their fallen teammates by showing a sign of unity, and completely didn’t show up. If you missed the late…
Almost an entire year after the initial incident that triggered an investigation into whether or not FSU’s superstar QB Jameis Winston sexually assaulted a woman, Tallahassee police have announced that no charges will be filed in the case…
With a looming deadline on his contract option to buy an MLS team, it may seem that its Miami or bust for David Beckham. Though, in the latest issue of Sport magazine, the print arm of British sports radio network Talksport, Beckham downplays that his franchise will necessarily be in…
Well, it’s not quite Space Jam 2, but LeBron James is finally coming to the big screen in a staring role. According to Deadline Hollywood, the Chosen One has been chosen to co-star in a movie with diminutive comedian Kevin Hart…
There are many possible explanations for what occurred Tuesday night — but really, only one makes sense. It could have been the fact that the Panthers-Senators game unfolded on a Tuesday night, which is the worst night imaginable for professional athletics. Or perhaps it was the matter that the Ottawa…
Let’s imagine a terrible scenario in which the Miami Heat’s five starters all magically develop some sort of injury that collectively keeps all five out until the playoffs, Would the team even make the playoffs? Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem thinks the bench players could get them there on their…
Once again the Miami Heat replaced its regular brand of basketball with Equate for three quarters, except this time the rabid fourth quarter run fell short . The Pistons stormed out to a double-digit lead early, took an 11 point lead into the half, and survived the Heat’s fourth quarter…
Touchdown Tommy has been one of the University of Miami’s most memorable traditions since 1945. After each Canes football score, members of the Sigma Chi fraternity fire a small cannon in celebration. Seniors shoot blanks out of the wheeled piece of artillery in the corner of Sun Life Stadium, near…
