Now that football is over, many South Florida sports fans have begun giving their full attention to the Miami Heat. Sure, you’ve caught most of their games, but with the Hurricanes and Dolphins out of your life now, it only makes sense that your favorite professional basketball team would get some extra love.
It’s time for fantasy to become reality. It’s time for Derek Jeter to finally do right by Miami Marlins fans. It’s time for the team to play in a ballpark that’s named for something that truly represents Florida.
The Miami Heat’s famously hard-working culture is back in the news, which is always a good thing because it usually means the team is winning basketball games. This time, though, the rest of the NBA and much of the media seemed to be finally realizing this isn’t just a catchy…
The Heatles aren’t back, but Miami’s scruffy bunch of locals is playing some kind of basketball. A day after defeating the Toronto Raptors with an amazing, last-minute basket by shooting guard and long-ball wiz Wayne Ellington, the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers last night for its first win in Indianapolis since LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade played together.
Here are a few rules the Dolphins should follow this offseason if they hope to win their first playoff game since Bill Clinton was president.
You read the headline, so let’s cut the crap and get to the point: The Miami Dolphins need to use a high draft pick on a quarterback in this April’s NFL Draft. Yes, the team needs to replace Ryan Tannehill.
Since the Miami Dolphins selected wide receiver Jarvis Landry with the 63rd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, he’s caught 400 passes for just over 4,000 yards and 22 touchdowns. To say he has been a huge part of the Dolphins offense since the moment he stepped onto the field four years ago would be an understatement.
If Jeter and his ownership team are going to win over a fan base they’ve alienated before pitchers and catchers report for their first season in town, they’ll need to better understand what makes Marlins fans tick. Sure, holding town-hall meetings with a couple hundred season ticketholders is a start, but to really win over fans, Jeter needs to better understand them. Here are the CliffsNotes.
If your New Year’s resolution was not to waste any more of your life on the Miami Dolphins, you’re good to go until at least September. Or maybe you’re really super-interested the underrated free agents the Dolphins sign after April’s NFL Draft — um, no, it’s a lost cause. The Dolphins…
After a 10-2 season, ain’t this the shit?
Come Sunday night, another forgetful Miami Dolphins season will be in the books. This latest edition of Dolphins football is just the most recent in a long line of sub-.500 seasons full of broken promises, crushed hopes, wasted opportunities, and TMZ-ready drama. In short: This season was just about everything…
The Miami Dolphins have officially been eliminated from the NFL playoffs — Merry Christmas! You’ve already known for weeks what the Dolphins were going to get you, though. They aren’t very good at surprises. One of the least likable, most useless, totally unmemorable Dolphins teams will mercifully be laid to rest…
It’s been a tough year for fans of South Florida sports teams. From Dwyane Wade taking his talents to Cleveland, to the Marlins selling off everything of value, to the Dolphins’ season doomed from the get-go after they lost Ryan Tannehill before training camp even began, it’s been a rough 12 months. If not for the resurgent Miami Hurricanes, this year would have been a total loss.
Being a Miami Marlins fan sucks. It sucks bad. It’s legitimately painful and likely terrible for your health. This week, however, has especially sucked to root for the hometown baseball team.
All in all, 2017 was not a glorious sports year in South Florida. The Marlins and Panthers were awful, the Heat needed a second-half surge to go from dreadful to mediocre, and the less said about this season’s Dolphins squad the better. The only good news comes from Coral Gables,…
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the ballpark, Derek Jeter and the Miami Marlins’ new ownership team have seemingly gone out of their way to make sure fans still feel like they are fans of the Marlins.
If you told Miami Hurricanes fans in July their team would go 10-2 and play in the Orange Bowl, people would have wondered what was in the oil in your vape pen. Sure, there were high hopes for the Canes coming into this season, but that sort of success seemed at least a year away.
The Miami Hurricanes got their asses handed to them in Saturday night’s ACC championship game versus the Clemson Tigers. Then, after the game, the Canes caught some serious shade from the South Carolina powerhouse. Miami’s 38-3 loss somehow doesn’t really reflect just how soundly the Canes were outmatched in the biggest game of their season.
This past weekend’s disappointing loss to Pittsburgh notwithstanding, 2017 has been one helluva storybook joyride for Miami Hurricanes fans. They’ve experienced a worst-to-first swing of emotions this year. Thanks to the new world order installed by head football coach Mark Richt and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz’s ingenious turnover chain, the Canes are back on top of the college football world and the talk of sports fans everywhere.
Wynwood brewery J. Wakefield Brewing is working on rushing out its new Turnover IPA in the hopes it will be ready to hit Canes fans’ lips in time for their team’s bowl game. The beer is named for the chunky gold necklace that Canes coaches award players on the sideline after they record turnovers.
Shortly after earning a medical degree from the University of Miami in 1958, Ybor City native Fernando “Ferdie” Pacheco set up a family practice in Overtown, Miami’s historic black neighborhood. Much like it is today, the area was mired in poverty.
In case you missed it, the U is back — and so are the haters. Many people love the Miami Hurricanes, but so many more hate them. Here are our best guesses as to why.
