Would you like some controversy with your cognac? Last night’s celebrity-filled soirée at the Biltmore Hotel — hosted by Hennessy in honor of Roberto Clemente — took a strange twist when talk turned from the booze to a simmering baseball controversy in Hialeah. Accused earlier in the day of swindling…
While Miami fans were practically celebrating after the NCAA announced this morning that they’d only add on a few relatively light penalties to the ones the Hurricanes had already self-imposed, fans of another storied college football team at a private school in a major subtropical city across the map were…
It’s over, folks. It’s finally over, and the fact that Twitter is full of gloating jokes about the end of the messy NCAA investigation into the University of Miami athletics department tells you everything you need to know…
Will the University of Miami finally learn its NCAA fate tomorrow? The Miami Herald tweets that according to a source the team’s sanctions could come down tomorrow…
With 2:57 left in the game and a one-point lead, the Dolphins opted to pass on second and eight rather than run the ball, and Tyson Clabo played turnstile for the eighth time this season to yield Mario Williams’ sack/fumble on quarterback Ryan Tannehill. That extremely questionable play call by…
No one is claiming that last nights win over North Carolina was pretty for the Miami Hurricanes, but the ‘Canes became the first team to maintain their undefeated status in week 8. Yet, ESPN’s ACC football blogger Heather Dinich wasn’t impressed, and in a bit of throwaway shade she called…
The Miami Hurricanes basketball team walked away with an ACC tourney championship and a ride to the sweet sixteen last season, but expectations have been considerably lowered this season. The ACC media has picked the ‘Canes to finish 12th out of 15 in the conference. Which is what happens when…
The Dolphins are fresh off their bye week, players are relatively healthy, and they’re playing a Buffalo team at home that has a homeless guy named “Jeff” that draws pictures for you outside of Churchill’s starting at QB. What could go wrong?…
It’s an understatement that LeBron James is no stranger to heavy criticism for ditching one team for another, and as the team prepare to play a preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets it appears he’s still exercising some of those demons. He called out the hypocrisy of Kevin Garnett and…
The Miami Heat dropped a preseason away game to the Washington Wizards last night, but perhaps the Verizon Center’s crab dip had just as much to do with it as the team. Mario Chalmers was pretty much a non-factor last night, and he blames his poor performance on downing the…
On Monday, ESPN reported that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is planning to partner with David Beckham to bring an MLS expansion team to Miami. MLS commissioner Don Garber, meanwhile, has said three of the four expansion sites after New York City FC have been “spoken for.” Miami, Orlando, and Atlanta…
The second Super Cool Beas era is upon the Miami Heat …and Michael Beasley is as Michael Beasley as ever. During a pre-season game last night against the Detroit Piston, Beasley got called for a travel and was so angry at himself he decided to up and punch himself in…
I’m Ricky the football man, I’m Ricky the football man. I gots lot of speed ’cause I smokes me my weed. I’m Ricky the football man. Don’t mind us. We’re just writing Ricky Williams’ new theme song. The former Miami Dolphins who was frequently suspended and disciplined for his marijuana…
The start of NBA season is just weeks away, and oddsmakers are rolling out the betting lines for who will win the championship. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise then that the Heat are once again Vegas’s favorites…
Seantrel Henderson came to the Miami Hurricanes as one of the most celebrated and heavily recruited offensive tackles. In Sunday’s game against Georgia Tech, Henderson sat out the game — yet again — for unspecified team rules violations, and it looked like the Canes hardly missed him. His college career…
Earlier this morning news broke that the Miami Dolphins officially submitted a proposal to bid for Super Bowl 52 in 2018. It only took a few hours for the NFL to say, “Listen, we really appreciate your interest, but we’re looking to go in another direction.” Miami was shut out…
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…
