That greatest college football rivalry rarely played may be making a comeback in 2019. The Miami Hurricanes and Florida Gators are reportedly very close to coming to terms to playing each other again in a neutral site matchup to open the 2019 season. “We’re still looking on that game in…
LeBron James left South Florida two seasons ago, but apparently he can’t get our women out of his head. At least, that’s according to the lastest social media rumors which we’re going to entertain, frankly, because we miss getting to write about weird LeBron James theories all the time like…
Sure, the Miami Hurricanes football team is stuck in a slump of mediocrity, but the rest of the athletics departments has been having an amazing year. The men’s and women’s basketball teams both ended their seasons as ranked teams, and now the baseball team has snatched the number one ranking…
The stadium christened as “Joe Robbie” 29-years ago now officially has its seventh name. After the “Sun Life” naming rights expired last month, Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins decided not to return to the most recent generic name, Dolphin Stadium, and have instead picked a new name. Emphasis on the…
This week, ex-Heat center Shaquille O’Neal was one of the ten inductees into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. That should come to as a surprise to no one. “The Big Aristotle” was a Four-time NBA champion, league MVP and three-time Finals MVP. What has been a surprise to…
The Miami Marlins kick off their 2016 season tomorrow, making this as good a time as any to brush up on our hometown baseball team. It’s like when your iPhone asks you to update. You put it off until you’re sick of seeing the alert and just give in. That’s…
Heads-up, it’s April Fools Day! No, LeBron James did not say publicly he wants to return to the HEAT. No, Publix isn’t opening stand alone sub shops. No, Hialeah isn’t getting an In-And-Out, yet. I’m sorry, you’ve been duped. I know finding out this way is devastating. In-And-Out is delicious. Instead…
The Miami Dolphins’ stadium is currently nameless. The naming rights deal with Canadian-based Sun Life Financial, Inc. ran out last month, so the era of calling it “Sun Life” is over. It was the park’s seventh appelation in just under 30 years. According to The Herald, The Dolphins expect to have a…
The party may finally be started….the soccer party that is. Miami Beckham United, the soccer club that announced three years ago it was ready to construct a stadium and field a team, has finally bought several pieces of land. The club now owns two-thirds of the nine acres it needs…
Here lies the Miami Hurricanes basketball season, gone too soon. March Madness ended for Jim Larranaga and his Miami Hurricanes basketball team last night at 9:10 p.m. The cause of death was a disappointing 92-69 butt-stomping loss to the second-seeded Villanova Wildcats. The Canes will have to wait a year…
New Dolphins coach Adam Gase is known as a sort of quarterback whisperer. Besides the fact that Gase seems like the sort of guy who will relate to players much better than Joe Philbin, the boldest part of his coaching resume is his ability to get the best out of…
For the past three years, the Miami Dolphins had a very fine cornerback in Brent Grimes. They’ve also had a very prominent critic in Grimes’ Twitter-happy wife Miko. So when the Dolphins parted ways with Mr. Grimes earlier this month, everyone couldn’t help but wonder if Mrs. Grimes (AKA @iHeartMiko)…
It’s the debate that seems to continually have legs; Is Miami a basketball town — or does its heart belong to football? The answer depends on whom you ask. Some point to eyeballs on TV sets, but comparing ratings from an 82-game season to one of 16 games (in which…
The future of the Miami Open is in doubt. The facilities at the Crandon Park Tennis Center are woefully out of date. IMG, a sports management firm that owns the tournament, wants to spend $50 million to renovate and expand the facilities. Miami-Dade voters approved of the plan at the ballot box…
Erik Spoelstra has accomplished quite a bit since taking over as head coach of the Miami Heat in 2008. He’s won nearly 400 regular season games, 63 playoff games, and two championships. He led the Heat to four straight NBA Finals appearances. He’s coached an All-Star team. He’s the second-longest…
You can take the LeBron out of Cleveland, but you can’t take the Cleveland out of … Cleveland. Unfortunately for LeBron, the honeymoon on his return to Ohio seems to have a quickly approaching expiration date. The Cavs have become increasingly inconsistent, and even as they remain the first seed…
Growing up in Palmetto Bay, 26-year-old Nick Katz might never have met his childhood best friends if it hadn’t been for skateboarding. He was a Jewish kid who lived in a nice home next to Biscayne Bay. The guys he skated with were young Jamaican dudes from West Perrine. “The…
Not many saw this coming. Not when the Heat lost Chris Bosh for the season. Not when Dwyane Wade was ruled out for a pair of games after the All Star break. Not when Hassan Whiteside seemed to be regressing after another suspension. Not when Luol Deng looked washed. But…
A who’s who of Miami’s mascot community came out last night to American Airlines Arean to “Feel the Burn.” No, that’s not a political statement. It was Miami Heat mascot Burnie’s birthday, and the team celebrated during the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Some of the mascots ended up feeling…
On Monday night the Los Angeles Clippers unveiled their new mascot: Chuck the California Condor. Unfortunately for Clippers fans, it was not free therapy session giveaway night. The image of Chuck will haunt their dreams until the end of time. Chuck’s ill-fated debut got us thinking; Which of our South Florida…
If Miamians and our leaders thinks a five-minute walk covering just three blocks is “too far,” well, we probably don’t have much hope for more effective mass transit in this city. Sure, we know the humidity can get bad here during the summer, but how sweaty can you get in…
The Miami Marlins, a professional baseballing team and a suspected longform improv troupe specializing in dark comedy, have tried everything in recent years to turn their fortunes around: a new stadium, three different managers, and occasional star signings followed by roster shaking trades. Nothing has worked. Well, maybe just maybe newly…
