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…
No mater what happens on the field tomorrow, the Miami vs Nebraska game will make history. For the first time in NCAA history, every single player on the field (and bench for that matter) will be wearing individually customized cleats hand painted by an artist. Nebraska’s shoes will be pretty…
Dwyane Wade really likes socks. According to his old teammate LeBron James, he likes to paint his toenails in black and then immediately puts socks ons and wears them all the time. Maybe he’s got an issue with his feet, but regardless the man really loves socks. He also really…
South Florida sports fans have experienced some of the highest highs and the lowest lows: the best season in NFL history and one of the worst, a baseball team that has won two World Series and finds new and almost comical ways to miss the playoffs every other season, a…
Exact details on what exactly David Beckham plans to do in Miami with his MLS team are still hard to come by, but pretty much everyone expects it to be big. So it’s not exactly a surprise that the British media is gossiping about the idea of the country’s former…
Work doesn’t matter today. Every second that passes is just one less moment standing between you and an actual, real-life NFL Sunday. It’s been more than seven long, hard months since we last saw the Patriots and Seahawks play in Super Bowl XLIX; but we made it, and now it’s…
Do you think that when Nick Saban goes down to the cement dungeon underneath his Alabama mansion to unwind and walks past his trophy case full of CFB National Championship, his collection jarred tears secretly obtained from rival SEC coaches and the collection of locks of hair he’s pruned from…
LGBT athletes have increasingly come out and into the spotlight over the past couple of years, but what about the high profile journalists who cover them? Obviously there’s more than a few gay people in the sports reporter ranks, and former Miami Herald reporter and still South Florida-based ESPN personality…
