Diagnosing the state and the future of the University of Miami’s football program in the wake of the firing of Al Golden is currently the favorite parlor game of college football commentators. To some, the head coaching job is the single greatest open position in college football right now other…
The Golden era at the U turned out to be nothing more than Brass, and now the Hurricanes are on the hunt for a new head coach. Names like former FIU coach Mario Cristobal and former ‘Canes coach Butch Davis are the most frequently cited in actual media reports, but…
Saturday’s University of Miami loss to Clemson was costly. The 58-0 annihilation cost fans another season of false hope. It cost players their remaining shreds of dignity. And in the long run, it’s probably going to cost the University of Miami many millions of dollars. To loud cheers from pundits,…
Miamians love soccer. This city would love to see a big-time team here. But by now, an element of stadium anticipation fatigue is surely setting in — for more than two years, since the news first broke that soccer giant David Beckham was interested in starting an MLS team right here…
There’s few cities that have been has burned as badly by a stadium deal as Miami, and few voting blocs that have made politicians pay the price for that as Miami’s. That political atmosphere has made it difficult for David Beckham and his business partner to nail down a site to…
Gulliver Prep’s head baseball coach is out of a job and facing possible investigation by law enforcement officers after sending a sexually explicit video to his players. Javier Rodriguez, was a star at at Gulliver when attended as a child and went on to be a star for the University…
Lamar Odom only played with the Miami Heat for a season, but it was an important one in the history of the team. It was Dwyane Wade’s rookie year, and Odom was a key part of a roster that saw the team transition from an after thought in the league…
The future of David Beckham’s Major League Soccer team in Miami has been stuck on one question since it was announced in February 2014: Where are they going to play. While the most likely scenario at the moment seems to be a new stadium new Marlins Park, that question remain…
The Florida Gators turnaround from last year’s mediocrity to this year’s unbeaten streak of six games seemed almost too good to be true …and it might actually have been. Yesterday the school announced that its star freshman quarterback Will Grier had tested positive for performance enhancing drugs and could face…
Perhaps the calls for the sacking of defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle were slightly louder than those for the job of head coach Joe Philbin. So when the Fins announced earlier this week that Philbin was shown the bin with now word on Coyle’s continued employment, some were left scratching their…
When toe-meets-ball at Doak Campbell Stadium this Saturday night, it will have been 2,024 days since the Miami Hurricanes last beat the Florida State Seminoles, the longest Hurricanes-victory drought in the rivalry since the Canes lost seven-straight from 1962 to 1973. The five-game losing streak to the Seminoles has featured…
The reign of Joe Philibin in South Florida is over. After a disastrous 1-3 start and an all-around embarrassing loss in London yesterday, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross decided to officially sack Philbin. This is the earliest in the season the Dolphins have ever let go of a coach, and in…
The Miami Dolphins continue to invent new-and-extremely-unexciting ways to ruin your Sundays. It’s actually impressive, at this point. This week they walked into your kitchen at 9:30 a.m.. opened the refrigerator, chugged all your orange juice, made an over-stuffed three-piece-of-toast sandwich full of all the eggs and bacon you had…
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Things did not go well in the home opener for the Miami Dolphins. They went so bad, in fact, that some fans took to the exits, choosing to beat traffic rather than watch the end of a pathetic 41-14 Buffalo Bills beat down. Some…
How about those Dolphins? Oh, right, lets not talk about it. Instead, lets talk about some of the greatest moments in Miami sports history, shall we? And we don’t things other team happened to do here that were history. Miamians do not care about Joe Namath winning the Jets their…
In hindsight, we made the same basic error as thousands of Dolphins fans. Sure, the Fins had underwhelmed in their first two games of the season on the road, but Sunday was the home opener! Finally, after an off-season of big-money buys and huge hype from analysts and coaches, the…
Just when you think the Miami Dolphins couldn’t possibly take you to a darker, more regretful place — they go and serve you up an all-time stinker like the one they put on us Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins 41-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday opened their refurbished home field…
See the pic above? It’s a not particularly flattering shot of Ranaan Katz, the real estate magnate and minority owner of the Miami Heat. Katz is not a big fan of the photo. In fact, he’s spent the past three years in court trying to force Google and a local…
Despite Al Golden and his Miami Hurricanes starting off the season with an undefeated record, games so far have seen the frequent site of banners urging the firing of Golden over the stadium. There were at least three sailing over Saturday’s Nebraska game, with one urging the school to hurry…
Before last Saturday, the Miami Hurricanes and Nebraska Cornhuskers had met 11 times on the football gridiron — and four of those games were to decide a national champion. So Saturday’s matchup at Sun Life Stadium, the first regular season meeting between the storied franchises in more than six decades,…
One of the few things that Miami Dolphins fans can point to proudly is that ’72 season. The only perfect season in the modern history of the NFL. A feat un-replicated in the several decades since. “Perfectville: Population 1,” as the saying goes. Of course, anytime a ‘Fins fan brings…
Al Golden and his Miami Hurricanes’ are currently undefeated. They’re the only team in the ACC Coast Division with a “0” in the loss column, and, sure, maybe their first two opponents were cakewalks and the quarter meltdown that turned the Nebraska game into a squeaker causes some concern, but…
