For the past few seasons, the Miami Heat has been known for elaborate intro videos played before games. Back when Dwyane Wade was the only star on the team, the videos looked ripped from the pages of GQ, with designer duds and flashy neon effects. But ever since LeBron James…
Man has been preoccupied with sport since the beginning of time. But just like any other subculture, sports fandom seems slightly insane to anyone who’s not a part of group. It can be downright intimidating. I’m new to Miami and NBA fandom, but with the world champs back in action,…
Miami Dolphins fans haven’t had a quarterback jersey they could wear for more than a season or two ever since Dan Marino’s retirement in 1999. So maybe it’s not much of a surprise that Ryan Tannehill jerseys are selling like hotcakes…
If you are a fan of a Florida Division I FBS football team, you had good reason to celebrate Saturday. It didn’t matter which team you were rooting for. For the first time since the FAU Owls became an FBS subdivision team in 2005, all seven Florida teams won games…
Parks and Rec actress Aubrey Plaza has a well known obsession with the Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh. Seriously, a third of her Twitter is like weird tweets about Bosh. Well, Chris Bosh made a cameo on Parks and Recreation last week, and while he didn’t share a scene with Plaza’s…
The Dolphins lost to the Ravens 26-23 yesterday after kicker Justin Tucker put the Ravens ahead for good on a 44-yard field goal with 1:42 left to go. The Dolphins had a final chance to at least tie the game thanks to some crazy heroics by quarterback Ryan Tannehill to…
Chris Bosh has continued his impressive streak of making cameos during primetime TV. He’s already appeared Jessie, Go On, Law & Order: SVU, and Entourage. Last night, without any warning, Bosh popped up in the middle of Parks & Recreation. See also: Aubrey Plaza Has a Chris Bosh Obsession…
According to Public Policy Polling (yes, the same people who do political polls), Florida’s favorite NFL team is the Dolphins. The state’s favorite college football team are the Florida Gators. And the state’s favorite baseball team doesn’t even play in Florida. Turns out the Atlanta Braves are twice as popular…
After a humbling loss to the Saints, how will the Dolphins bounce back? What can they do? Who do they want to be? Are they better than what that performance delineated? Are they worse than what their record tells us? The season will answer these questions with unforgiving evidence. The…
Dolphins’ defensive tackle Jared Odrick has one of the more distinctive sack dances in the game. Whenever he sacks a QB, he pulls some moves straight out of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Well, Pee-wee himself has noticed and has a message for Odrick…
The Miami Heat kicked off their 2013 training camp Tuesday in the Bahamas, because of course they did, officially kicking off their attempt at back-to-back-to-back NBA titles, or as many are terming it, “Three-Heat.” The team largely returns most of the same key components that led it to the past…
Yesterday the sports world was taken by surprise when the Marlins announced that they were selling unsold tickets to a game that had been played the day before. Ostensibly they were meant as memorabilia to commemorate Henderson Alvarez’s walk-off no-hitter. Turns out the “tickets” are just PDFs you’re meant to…
The Miami Dolphins were the first NFL team to ever lose a regular season in London. They kicked off the league’s experiment of playing in Wembley Stadium back in 2007 with a 13-10 loss to the New York Giants. Well, this past Sunday when the Vikings and Steelers played in…
David Beckham Major League Soccer contract came with a clause that he’d be able to purchase an MLS franchise of his own one day. It’s been no secret that he’s been scouting Miami as a potential location over the past few month. British tabloid the Daily Mail reports that Beckham…
Well, that fucking sucked. The fiery blaze you witnessed last night — descending unto the Earth with inestimable velocity and indiscriminate violence — was not the meteor that yielded the Chicxulub crater, but that previously sweet Dolphins high you were nursing. The Dolphins came into New Orleans feelin’ pretty damn…
The 2013 season is over but you can still buy Marlins tickets. The team is still selling unsold tickets to Henderson Alvarez’s bizarre no-hitter for $15 a pop, which would be a really, really great deal if time travel existed…
Eight months after a Miami New Times investigation revealed that Coral Gables anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was slinging performance-enhancing drugs to pro athletes, the fallout keeps growing. Fourteen baseball players were suspended by August. Hometown superstar Alex Rodriguez’s career hangs in the balance this week as he appeals his historic 211-game…
When Real Madrid and Chelsea came to Sun Life Stadium for an exhibition game back in August the game came to an odd, temporary stop when a 19-year-old fan ran onto the field to hug superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and whisper sweet little nothings in his ear. Now the Real Madrid…
Your Miami Dolphins enter tonight’s showdown between two 3-0 teams primed for an opportunity to show the world these are not the same old Dolphins limping into a primetime NFL matchup only to play like a paper bag full of shit. No, these Dolphins are coming into the Big Easy…
Like the amazing dinner you had on the last night of an otherwise disastrous vacation, the night of surprisingly tender lovemaking just weeks before you both decide divorce is inevitable or that one good song toward the end of your favorite band’s undeniably disappointing new album, Marlins pitcher’s Henderson Álvarez…
According to a report from MLB.com’s Marlins beat writer, the Marlins won’t be trading Giancarlo Stanton, the only good player on their sad little team, next season. They even plan to “build” around him, but that doesn’t mean they’ll shell out any more money on their already-second-to-last lowest payroll in…
The Miami Heat season not only comes with the drama of trying to threepeat but also with the added tension of the fate of the team’s big three during the following offseason. Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James all have the option to become free agents this summer, and…
