One need only look at the Marlins player payroll for evidence that owner Jeffrey Loria is cheap, but news that the team is under federal investigation for wage violations have nothing to do with anything on the field. According to FairWarning, a Labor Department spokesman confirmed that along with the…
We’ve already told you about plans to bring a college football bowl game to Marlins Park. Well, the plans were officially announced today with one major surprise. The name of the game: the Miami Beach Bowl. Now for those of you not familiar with local geography, Marlins Park is located…
There’s no denying that three years ago, LeBron James was the biggest villain in sports. Hell, Heat fans themselves were treated as rouges just for daring to root for him. But after two back-to-back championships, LeBron’s public image has recovered. Of course, the sports media always needs a villain, and…
Amid the mixed results from the NFL’s ongoing push to make British people care about American football by playing a few games every year in London, one bizarre fact remains constant: Among Brits who do enjoy the pigskin, the Miami Dolphins are oddly popular. A survey of fans at this…
In Alfred Hitchock’s classic The Birds, Tippi Hedren’s characters runs around everywhere getting attacked by crazy birds. Apparently if Dwyane Wade starred in a sequel to movie he’d just sit safely inside all day quietly taunting the birds for not being able to get at him through his reinforced windows…
Halloween is right around the corner, and if you haven’t already, now is the time to pick up a costume. By now, Walmart’s cookie-cutter dress-up shelves look like the Publix bottled water section when a hurricane is churning in the Gulf. Sometimes the best Halloween ideas are right under your…
Would you like some controversy with your cognac? Last night’s celebrity-filled soirée at the Biltmore Hotel — hosted by Hennessy in honor of Roberto Clemente — took a strange twist when talk turned from the booze to a simmering baseball controversy in Hialeah. Accused earlier in the day of swindling…
While Miami fans were practically celebrating after the NCAA announced this morning that they’d only add on a few relatively light penalties to the ones the Hurricanes had already self-imposed, fans of another storied college football team at a private school in a major subtropical city across the map were…
It’s over, folks. It’s finally over, and the fact that Twitter is full of gloating jokes about the end of the messy NCAA investigation into the University of Miami athletics department tells you everything you need to know…
Will the University of Miami finally learn its NCAA fate tomorrow? The Miami Herald tweets that according to a source the team’s sanctions could come down tomorrow…
With 2:57 left in the game and a one-point lead, the Dolphins opted to pass on second and eight rather than run the ball, and Tyson Clabo played turnstile for the eighth time this season to yield Mario Williams’ sack/fumble on quarterback Ryan Tannehill. That extremely questionable play call by…
No one is claiming that last nights win over North Carolina was pretty for the Miami Hurricanes, but the ‘Canes became the first team to maintain their undefeated status in week 8. Yet, ESPN’s ACC football blogger Heather Dinich wasn’t impressed, and in a bit of throwaway shade she called…
The Miami Hurricanes basketball team walked away with an ACC tourney championship and a ride to the sweet sixteen last season, but expectations have been considerably lowered this season. The ACC media has picked the ‘Canes to finish 12th out of 15 in the conference. Which is what happens when…
The Dolphins are fresh off their bye week, players are relatively healthy, and they’re playing a Buffalo team at home that has a homeless guy named “Jeff” that draws pictures for you outside of Churchill’s starting at QB. What could go wrong?…
It’s an understatement that LeBron James is no stranger to heavy criticism for ditching one team for another, and as the team prepare to play a preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets it appears he’s still exercising some of those demons. He called out the hypocrisy of Kevin Garnett and…
The Miami Heat dropped a preseason away game to the Washington Wizards last night, but perhaps the Verizon Center’s crab dip had just as much to do with it as the team. Mario Chalmers was pretty much a non-factor last night, and he blames his poor performance on downing the…
On Monday, ESPN reported that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is planning to partner with David Beckham to bring an MLS expansion team to Miami. MLS commissioner Don Garber, meanwhile, has said three of the four expansion sites after New York City FC have been “spoken for.” Miami, Orlando, and Atlanta…
The second Super Cool Beas era is upon the Miami Heat …and Michael Beasley is as Michael Beasley as ever. During a pre-season game last night against the Detroit Piston, Beasley got called for a travel and was so angry at himself he decided to up and punch himself in…
I’m Ricky the football man, I’m Ricky the football man. I gots lot of speed ’cause I smokes me my weed. I’m Ricky the football man. Don’t mind us. We’re just writing Ricky Williams’ new theme song. The former Miami Dolphins who was frequently suspended and disciplined for his marijuana…
The start of NBA season is just weeks away, and oddsmakers are rolling out the betting lines for who will win the championship. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise then that the Heat are once again Vegas’s favorites…
Seantrel Henderson came to the Miami Hurricanes as one of the most celebrated and heavily recruited offensive tackles. In Sunday’s game against Georgia Tech, Henderson sat out the game — yet again — for unspecified team rules violations, and it looked like the Canes hardly missed him. His college career…
Earlier this morning news broke that the Miami Dolphins officially submitted a proposal to bid for Super Bowl 52 in 2018. It only took a few hours for the NFL to say, “Listen, we really appreciate your interest, but we’re looking to go in another direction.” Miami was shut out…
