Muhammad Ali, who died last night at 74 years old, left behind so many towering legacies that writing a proper obit for the man is a task worthy of Dostoevsky. Ali was the greatest boxing champ of all time, but also a huge figure in the civil rights fight and…
Sure, sequels are never as good as the original, but enough folks in sports media seem desperate to paint Oklahoma Thunder Forward Kevin Durant’s upcoming free agency as the sequel to LeBron James’ “Decision” saga. Especially giving OKC’s ouster from the playoffs last night at the hands of the Golden…
In 2020 Miami will host the Super Bowl for a record eleventh time; that’s for sure. It’s still a question though, whether South Florida will benefit from hosting the game.. After being turned down since 2010, Stephen Ross and his self-financed $450 million stadium upgrade finally lured a Super Bowl…
Chances are you didn’t miss the Marlins being in the news this week for suing their own fans, but if you did, that’s a thing that is happening. What you may have missed is some Marlins news within the news, literally; Marlins TV host Craig Minervini went all cyber-Anchorman-feuding with…
New Miami Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt didn’t come to Miami to build his resume, he didn’t come simply for a paycheck, and he didn’t come to mess around. He came to rebuild a legacy, and in case anyone doubted that, Richt reportedly plans to donate $1 million of his own money…

Here’s a few numbers for you. ’68, ’69, ’71, ’76, ’79, ’89, ’95, ’99, ’07, ’10: The year Miami has hosted the Super Bowl. 0: The chance NFL execs told Miami Dolphins executive they’d have of ever hosting another unless major renovations were made to the Stadium. $450 million+: The…
You wouldn’t shoot a Red Sox player in the middle of Times Square scarfing down a slice of New York-style pizza. You don’t pose Washington’s QB in downtown Dallas decked out in a 10-gallon hat and cowboy boots. You don’t let your high school team’s biggest rival’s star pose for…

Unless your team wins it all, there’s no way to escape the inevitable pain that comes with being eliminated from a playoff run. It’s like being tapped in the nuts with a ball-peen hammer. It’s a dull, implacable pain. It’s not fun. It sucks, even. Yet that’s exactly how Miami…

Each playoff game has been a bag of jelly beans: a fair share of deliciously fruity moments, mixed with some disgusting black licorice ones. Well, nobody said it was going…
David Beckham may be the figurehead, but he’s far from the only businessmen involved in the effort to bring a Major League Soccer team to Miami. Sure, the business group is called “Miami Beckham United.” Sure, a discounted price on the franchise is only possible because of a special clause in…

The Heat have made it to the second round of the playoffs without having the help of one of their marquee stars since the All-Star Break. Putting Chris Bosh back in the game would instantly make the Heat the prohibitive favorites over the Toronto Raptors, and Bosh really, really wants back…
The Miami Heat needed a hero on Sunday. They got a dragon. But first, it’s worth recounting how they got there. On Friday night, it was Dwyane Wade’s majestical feats of awesome in a win-or-go-home game in Charlotte that put the Heat in yet another Game 7 on Sunday. The…
