The best thing you can say about the Miami Marlins is that they’re not technically the worst. The Houston Astros have a worse record and TV ratings, and the Tampa Bay Rays have lower attendance. So when ESPN magazine decided to rank every professional franchise in all four major North…
More often than not the loser of the annual FIU-FAU game gets crowned the worst FBS team in Florida. This year something weird and strange is happening. USF, who once touted itself as part of Florida’s “big four,” sucks in historic measures. They opened their season with a 53-21 loss…
The rumors at the beginning of the season went that unless the Dolphins managed to turn things around this year General Manager Jeff Ireland would finally find himself with a pink slip. Of course, now that the team is off to a 3-0 start those #Fireland Twitter hashtags are getting…
For much of the game yesterday, the Falcons bruised, battered and manhandled the Dolphins along the line of scrimmage, and there was the sense that this Dolphins game would end like so many others we’ve witnessed in the last decade or so: with a loud, wet fart heard for miles…
There were clear skies and good weather for the Orlando University High and Boone High football game on Friday. The band was in the middle of a chill marimba-assisted halftime show, when all the sudden the skies decided to remind everyone that this was Friday the 13th and sent a…
The Dolphins are now 2-0 for only the second time in a decade, and optimism about the team is all over the place. RYAN TANNEHILL WAS BORN FROM THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST! JOE PHILBIN FINALLY NABBED THOSE RASCALLY KIDS — WATCH OUT, WORLD! COCKCAKES = SUPER BOWL! BRIAN HARTLINE…
It’s September 19, 1983. Scarface had yet to premiere in theaters. The Heat, Marlins and Panthers didn’t even exist. The Miami Hurricanes had yet to win a national championship. LeBron James hadn’t even been born. So many icons associated with modern day Miami had yet to exist. On that night,…
Those Taiwanese animators move fast. News of the bizarre “double catfishing” involving the Miami Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Andersen only broke late yesterday afternoon, and they’ve already gone and animated the thing. The bizarre video features Andersen portrayed as Big Bird, naturally. See also: Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Andersen Victim in Bizarre…
In 2012, when current Miami Heat star Chris “Birdman” Andersen was playing for the Denver Nuggets, a Colorado Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children team seized property from Andersen’s home, which led to rampant speculation in the media. At the time, Andersen’s attorneys claimed he was the victim in the…
According to the New York Post, the sale of the Florida Panthers to a New York buyer is “imminent”. The report comes as a surprise to most, as the team has never announced it was for sale, however with losses piling up, perhaps owners received an offer they couldn’t refuse…
Last season, the Miami Dolphins had one of the most embarrassingly meager home-opener crowds in the team’s long history. This year, the Fins might actually sell out their home opener this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. As in an actual, honest-to-God sellout. Is it because the team is off to…
Sunday marks the first Miami Dolphins home game of the year, which means it’s time to dust off those tents and charcoal grills that have been laying in your garage for the past eight months. It appears the Dolphins have raised their game on the field, so it’s only fair…
On the final drive of Sunday’s victory over the Andrew Luck-led Colts, there was that creeping feeling the NFL’s newest comeback kid would do the thing Dolphins fans are so used to seeing: snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by putting a big ol’ dunce hat on the Dolphins…
Is there anything more embarrassing for a baseball player to wear than a Marlins jersey? A pink spandex tank top and bootie shorts might come close. Every year the Marlins make their rookie players dress up in some ridiculous outfit. So yesterday first year players, including Jose Fernandez, were made…
We already know that LeBron James will be the cover athlete and has had some creative input for the upcoming NBA 2K14 video game, but Yahoo! Sports reports today that the game will have a surprise feature. Players will be able to play a storyline that imagines how LeBron’s career…
Atlanta is getting a Major League Soccer team. Several reports today suggest that the deal is all but done. Which, in a way, is good news for Miami soccer fans, as it suggests the MLS is serious about bringing the league back to the South with Atlanta, Orlando, and Miami…
Unbelievably, the Dolphins won their season opener for the first time since 2007 last Sunday. EHRRR MERR GERRRSH! The defense was stout, Ryan Tannehill seemed to elevate his game (especially on 3thirdrd downs), Mike Wallace was already being considered as trade bait for his belly-aching postgame and Michael Egnew cried…
Sure, Florida is one of the most populous states in the country, but it represents only 6 percent of America’s population. Though, it’s probably not a surprise that Floridians have represented 13.7 percent of college football recruits since 2008. That’s surpassed (and just barely) only by Texas…
Michael Beasley’s career with the Heat is nothing but a footnote to the dynasty the team assembled in the summer of 2010. Drafted second overall by the Heat in 2008, Beasley was quickly traded away in order to make room for LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Well, Beasley is coming…
Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Starks has good reason to be upset about his back-up role. So when he shot a middle finger to the Dolphins bench during the Browns game on Sunday, many interpreted it as a not-so-secret message to the Dolphins coaching staff. Starks now explains that it was…
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd down the stretch they come! The MLB regular season finish line is near, and you know what that means, Marlins fans: playoffs 100-loss-season watch! Just fewer than 20 games remain between you and a Marlins free Twitter timeline — that is, until they trade Giancarlo Stanton in December. In…
LeBron James’ Miami Heat contract gives him the option to become a free agent as soon as this summer. The King tells ESPN that while it would be “ideal” to stay with the Miami Heat, he really has “no idea” how exactly the future will play out. Don’t freak out…
