The University of Miami and Florida State University face off for 59th edition of college football’s greatest rivalry next weekend. Oh yeah, I went there. The greatest. There are longer-running rivalries than Miami-FSU, rivalries that include schools geographically closer than Coral Cables and Tallahasse, and rivalries that involve schools that…
The Miami Dolphins enduring popularity in England remains one of life’s great mysteries. Maybe Dan Marino is one of the few NFL players they can name. Maybe they really like our colors. Maybe Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a huge cult favorite over there. Whatever the case, the Dolphins win…
On a beautiful Tuesday evening in North Miami-Dade at the Ives Estates Tennis Center, just off Ives Dairy Road, four men bat a ball around a wire and glass box about the size of a large backyard swimming pool. Using 18-inch paddles that look from afar like mini-tennis rackets, they…
Could the Miami Hurricanes three-game win streak be in part due to some futuristic help? Al Golden and his team have joined a small but growing trend of college football teams who are relying on drones during practice in order to perfect plays…
There are those who believe Wynwood is in decline, that as artisanal juice shops have pushed out art galleries, the neighborhood has lost its edge, that gentrification has made geriatrics of us all. To that, we answer with the angry hiss of a thousand energy drinks opened all at once…
The Miami Dolphins are now awesome at football. The Gatorade celebration thing? Still needs a little work. It makes sense — they don’t practice it much, after all. After a nasty, defense-dominated, 37-0 win over the Chargers, the Dolphins wanted to cap off the big day with a celebratory shower…
LeBron James is gone, but criticism of the Miami Heat’s fans has stuck around like a cranky, drunk party guest. Heat fans didn’t see it, but during the local D.C. broadcast of Wednesday’s opener against the Wizards, Washington’s play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz accused the Heat of pumping in fake crowd…
The Miami Heat is back in your living room tomorrow night for the season opener, looking a tad different from past years but just as cocky. Slogans, campaigns, videos — you name it; the team wants you to know it isn’t going anywhere. This is still the Miami Heat, and…
The Miami Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-13 on Sunday, but it was a pigeon that trended worldwide on Twitter. Wait, what? Yup a pigeon. A pigeon that by the end of the game had it’s own Twitter account. What a world. During the second half of the game a…
This is not a joke about Juwan Howard. Promise. Illuminada Magtoto was facing her 90th birthday earlier this month and she realized she had one item left on her bucket list: playing one-on-one against Dwyane Wade. So she uploaded a plea on YouTube…
Behold above. This is Dolphins Nation. It is not very big. In the map, the shaded counties are places where the Dolphins are amongst the top three teams — but in most of those spots out of South Florida, that share is very small. That’s according to Twitter anyway. The…
Amazingly enough, it’s already almost time to turn your attention to what’s happening down on Biscayne Boulevard, as your new-look, less-hyped Miami Heat returns a week from today, looking to prove to the world that its world does not revolve around one man. The Heat still has the same goal…
It’s always nice when the good Dolphins show up. Most important, good Ryan Tannehill. Good Ryan Tannehill showed up Sunday. Tannehill was laser-accurate, completing 25 of 32 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns in a better-than-the-score-indicates-yet-still-booty-clenching-at-times 27-14 Miami Dolphins victory. Tannehill didn’t do anything overly explosive in the game…
Are you a 6’4″ man with an athletic build, a flare for loud fashion, a lot of money on your hands, and a hankering to do a little good for charity? Well, good news, because Dwyane Wade’s closet is currently on sale. Wade has teamed up with flash sale site…
The Miami Gardens Ravens were gearing up to take on the Carol City Chiefs at Miami Carol City Park. Both teams plays in the Flo Rida-sponsored Florida Youth Football League, which includes children as young as five. The park was packed with families. Then something odd appeared. Young girls in…
The Florida Panthers’ new management has decided there will be no more freebies. You’re cut off, South Florida. No more free tickets with the purchase of a Publix sub. The Panthers want you to pay to watch them play, and as you can see from the above photo of their…
The student who accused breakout University of Florida quarterback and former Booker T. Washington High star Treon Harris of sexual battery has dropped her complaint. The unnamed student will no longer pursuit charges against Harris, but his future with the football team still remains unclear. The University of Florida is…
Despite all the David Beckham gala events, the sad truth is that Miami is about as close to hosting a new MLS team today as the Heat is to contending without LeBron. It might well happen, but you sure can’t count on it. One local fan, though, was tired of…

Rick Ross is hustling everyday. Some days he’s hustling in the rap game. Others, he’s hustling with his Wing Stop franchise. On a recent day, the aim of his hustle was to buy a portion of the Miami Dolphins. In an interview with Angie Martinez of New York radio station…
The Miami Hurricanes dropped their third game of the season against Georgia Tech this past Saturday, all but assuring that the 2014-15 campaign will be just another dead-end. The frustrating loss to the Yellow Jackets has even caused some of Al Golden’s most loyal supporters to reconsider their allegiances. If…
Between 2012 and 2013, Treon Harris lead Booker T. Washington High’s football team to two state championships and a 22-game win streak as quarterback. On Saturday, he came off the bench and lead the Florida Gators to a come-from-behind win over SEC rivals Tennessee. Today, he finds himself suspended from…
