With Museum Park out of the equation, the future location of David Beckham’s soccer stadium is up in the air. Well, Rep. Joe Garcia has a great idea. He sent a letter to the Beckham team and other local officials this week bringing up the idea of building a stadium…
Here we go again. Welcome to Lebronapalooza 2014! LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh all have until June 29th to decide whether or not they will trigger the opt-in years in their contracts, and give this Big Three thing another go at it, and Heat Nation anxiously awaits their…
Well, Miami will soon be back in the running to host the Super Bowl, and next time they do the Miami Dolphins will get a big fat bonus from Miami-Dade County. The county commission approved a deal today that would see the county paying up to $5 million a year…
Like any standout who plays for her high school basketball team, Jaden Newman is receiving attention from college programs. The catch: Newman is just 9 years old, but that hasn’t stopped the University of Miami women’s basketball team from trying to recruit her. Newman made headlines earlier this year when…
And so it begins. Chris “Birdman” Andersen won’t exercise his player’s option next season and will enter free agency instead. That’s according to a Yahoo! Sports story anyway. Granted, win or lose, some roster changes were to be expected, but after last night’s humiliation, the future of the Heat sure…
Not to remind you too much of last night, but if Miami is going to win a major sports championship in the calendar year of 2014, our only hope remains — gulp — the Marlins. Oddly, a recent scientific survey by political polling firm Public Policy Polling reveals that a…
The Miami Heat’s mantra heading into game five versus San Antonio was “Why not us?” But by the time the horn mercifully sounded on their third straight series-ending blowout loss, all they could say was, “Oh, that’s why.” The Heat’s 24-month reign as champions of the basketball world came crashing…
Miami has earned a bit of an undeserved reputation as a town with a lot of bandwagon sports fans. Though, you can’t say that about the Marlins. According to a study by researchers from Emory University, the Miami Marlins have the third least bandwagon-y fans in Major League Baseball. They’re…
During the Heat’s 107-86 loss to San Antonio last night, my TV kept cutting out. I thought it might be the storms in the area; then I realized it was ABC hitting the dump button every time a fan cursed. It happened a lot. I’m surprised it didn’t happen more…
Unless you’ve been hiding from federales on an island of swamp grass floating deep within the Everglades for the past six months, you’re well aware that the World Cup starts this this afternoon. You should also know that pleading ignorance of the international tournament just won’t cut it in modern…
The Miami Heat won’t let us, your dutiful local alt-weekly, anywhere near the team (to the point they wouldn’t even let us interview a super-fan in a banana costume one time), but apparently they let just about anyone else with a press badge into post-game press conferences during the Finals…
While one proposed stadium was dealt a death blow yesterday, another stadium moved one step closer a new deal with the county. The Miami Dolphins and Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez reportedly signed an agreement yesterday that would see the county pay the team money for bringing marquee events to Miami…
Julia Dale sang the National Anthem, the crowd chanted “Seven Nation Army,” and fire shot into the sky as the players were introduced to ear-piercing applause. Everything was going according to plan, the NBA Finals were back in Miami, and the Heat’s home was hype with excitement. Then the San…
Bienvenidos a Miami, San Antonio Spurs. You got a lot of splainin’ to do. You see, the rest of America may buy your convenient “Oh, the A/C just happened to break right at tip-off of game one of the NBA Finals, so weird, whoops!” but not us in the Magic…
Miami-Dade voters are at a virtual standstill when it comes to David Beckham’s proposed plans to fill in the FEC boat slip next to American Airlines Arena and build a new soccer stadium on it. According to a Benedixen and Associates poll commissioned by the Miami Herald, 45 percent are…
Anyone who has tuned in to a non-marquee matchup while the Miami Hurricanes are playing at home is greeted with the sight of a stadium full of large swaths of empty orange seats. The attendance problems at Sun Life Stadium are well known. Oddly, this is the team’s latest marketing…
The World Cup is only three days away, yet the buzz in America hasn’t been about our boys beating Nigeria in our final warmup match over the weekend. Instead, everyone keeps talking about how American soccer fans are full of shit. The New York Times says we’re a bunch of…
Shhhhhhhhhh, you hear that? That’s the sound of all the LeBron James cramp memes being deleted from all the Twitter accounts. If you put your ear to your computer screen, you can actually hear the little Instagram heart likes breaking into a thousand pieces and falling to the floor. Welcome…
Both teams tried to “beat the Heat” last night. Only one succeeded. The Heat dropped game one of the NBA Finals 110-95 in a matchup where Miami lost its biggest star, LeBron James, midway through the fourth quarter due to cramps that flared up for one reason: the Spurs’ A/C…
Even as LeBron James stands just four wins away from his third NBA championship, his popularity among the American sports populace has still not returned to what it was when he was a ringless superstar toiling away in Cleveland. ESPN tracks scientific poll numbers each year for which NBA players…
Happy finals, Heat fans! It’s June, so you know what that must mean — your Miami Heat is just a handful of wins away from an NBA title. At this point, Heat fans should treat game one of the NBA Finals like a holiday and get one another presents, maybe…
The England fan had a flag draped across his shoulders, a beer in each hand, and had just finished bellowing a song at a passing group of Ecuador supporters when he glanced around at Sun Life Stadium’s dim concourse and echoed what many Three Lions backers surely felt at halftime…
