Before this ordeal, we had no idea how serious thumb surgery can be. Canes QB Jacory Harris went in for surgery on his opposing digits shortly after last season and still isn’t able to throw a ball. However coach Randy Shannon says he should be doing what it is QBs…
The Miami Heat squeezed past an awful Philadelphia 76ers team last night in a win that can only be described as “Eleanor Rooseveltian.” But as unsightly as it may have been, a win is a win. Last night’s 99-95 victory was Miami’s ninth in a row. That makes nine straight…

[jump] The Marlins ended up winning in extra innings, no thanks to Núñez, or most every other member of a bullpen that did its best impression of a seven-layer burrito — you know, just inviting runs. Núñez blew over a fifth of his save chances last year. If given the…
Jason Taylor, we’re not sure if Sparano and Parcells share in it, but the city of Miami loves you. We understand Big Tuna and Lil Tony don’t seem pumped on the idea of bringing you back for another season with the Dolphins, but why you got to play with our…
Remember Dwyane Wade’s baron nemesis Richard von Houtman?

Well, he’s…
In the past 50 years, there have been only three private universities with football teams that matter: Notre Dame, USC, and, of course, Miami. Notre Dame has a rabid fan base and lots of history, USC has history too and benefits from the NFL’s absence in L.A., and Miami pulled itself out…
How strong is God’s Power? Tough enough to take down both Hitler and Stalin? Tenacious enough to defeat the villainous X’Zavier Bloodsaw? Brave enough to destroy Dr. Speedy Nutz?

Andy Roddick is still America’s best hope for men’s tennis glory, but he hasn’t won a Grand Slam since 2003 and hasn’t won the Sony Ericsson Open since 2004. After a few disappointing years, he seems to be back to form and recently staged a comeback against Rafael Nadal to…
Dwyane Wade’s divorce continues to get uglier, with both sides talking to the press. His estranged wife, ol’ what’s her name — VinceVaughn Wade? SeaQuest Wade? Oh, Siohvaughn Wade — had her attorneys fire back at Dwyane’s charges that she’s an unfit parent with a penchant for wacky religion and…

Dwyane Wade’s divorce from his estranged wife Siohvaughn continues to get nastier. Wade’s attorneys recently filed papers with the court asking for sole custody of his two children, claiming that Siohvaughn’s behavior “has made it evident that she is unstable, dishonest, unbalanced, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, not…

The average high temperature during the first month of the NFL season in Miami is 87.8 degrees with ungodly humidity. Heat that brutal doesn’t exactly make for a nice day at the ballpark, especially when you’re sitting in one of the many seats at the appropriately named Sun Life Stadium…

Dorell Wright apparently needs a couple of lessons in the internet and public relations. Internet rule number one: Do not, under any circumstances, put naked pictures of yourself anywhere on the internet unless you don’t mind them getting out. PR rule number one of getting caught up in unflattering, but…
