For fourteen straight years at least one Miami Hurricanes player was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. It’s an astounding record that no other team seems poised to break anytime soon (Alabama currently has the longest active streak at seven consecutive years). Still, it was painful back…
A funny thing happened on the way to the Dolphins 13th pick in the first round of last night’s NFL Draft. Draft analysis and reporters truly had no idea what the ‘Fins would do in the first round. The team had a lot of needs to fill, and a lot…
If the Miami Marlins had one positive story during last season’s damp tissue of a season, it was spark plug second baseman Dee Gordon, who led the league in hits, batting average and stolen bases. The Marlins lavished a new $50 million contract on him, and just last night he…
Approach and the first thing you hear is buzzing. It’s like a swarm of food processors flying overhead. Look up. In the twilight sky, Tron-like flashes of neon turn circles, some stopping midair before diving close to the ground at breakneck speed. They’re like tiny comets or steroid-stoked fireflies. Suddenly,…
There’s really only two things we now for sure about the Major League Soccer team coming to Miami: 1) David Beckham is the public face of what will become the ownership. 2) The team has bought land to build a stadium in Overtown. Everything else seems to be up in…
The Miami Heat — yes, the same team you’ve been watching all season — are the most face-melting offense juggernaut in these here 2016 NBA Playoffs so far. That’s the only conclusion you can reach after the heat dismantled the Charlotte Hornets for the second-straight game last night. It’s also…
Well, that didn’t take long. Less than two years after LeBron James left the Heat, here they are, not only back in the NBA playoffs, but back in a position to fight for another trip to the NBA Finals. The Heat’s retooling and transformation since the Big Three era has…
The TV ad opens with Chris Bosh sinking a three in a dark practice gym and then turning solemnly toward the camera. “When I was sidelined with blood clots in my lungs, it was serious,” the ten-time All-Star says. “Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan.” The camera then catches…
This Sunday, the Miami Heat will play an NBA playoff game for the first time since June 15th, 2014. Finally, all is right in the world again. The playoff berth is all the more notable because the Heat epically pooped their pants against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday in a…
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…
