Unbelievably, the Dolphins won their season opener for the first time since 2007 last Sunday. EHRRR MERR GERRRSH! The defense was stout, Ryan Tannehill seemed to elevate his game (especially on 3thirdrd downs), Mike Wallace was already being considered as trade bait for his belly-aching postgame and Michael Egnew cried…
Sure, Florida is one of the most populous states in the country, but it represents only 6 percent of America’s population. Though, it’s probably not a surprise that Floridians have represented 13.7 percent of college football recruits since 2008. That’s surpassed (and just barely) only by Texas…
Michael Beasley’s career with the Heat is nothing but a footnote to the dynasty the team assembled in the summer of 2010. Drafted second overall by the Heat in 2008, Beasley was quickly traded away in order to make room for LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Well, Beasley is coming…
Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Starks has good reason to be upset about his back-up role. So when he shot a middle finger to the Dolphins bench during the Browns game on Sunday, many interpreted it as a not-so-secret message to the Dolphins coaching staff. Starks now explains that it was…
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd down the stretch they come! The MLB regular season finish line is near, and you know what that means, Marlins fans: playoffs 100-loss-season watch!

LeBron James’ Miami Heat contract gives him the option to become a free agent as soon as this summer. The King tells ESPN that while it would be “ideal” to stay with the Miami Heat, he really has “no idea” how exactly the future will play out. Don’t freak out…
So after former Miami Dolphins CEO left the team this summer to replace some guy named Tom Garfinkle as President and CEO of the San Diego Padres, Stephen Ross and Dolphins brass started an exhaustive search to find his replacement. Oddly enough they’ve decided that the very same Tom Garfinkle,…
We’re used to former Miami Hurricanes players setting all sorts of records in the NFL, but the WNBA? Not so much. Well, Riquna Williams, only in her second year of playing professionally after being on the Hurricanes women’s basketball team, just set the record for most points in a single…
The Miami Hurricanes moved up to number 15 in the AP poll this morning, the best showing in recent history. The University of Florida Gators, who they took down in exciting fashion Saturday — after an epic Tailgate the likes of which probably won’t be seen in Florida for years…

Before yesterday, the Dolphins had been 1-6 in season openers dating back to 2006 — but lucky for them, the Browns had been a more dismal 1-12 in season openers dating back to their second go-around as a franchise in 1999. The Dolphins took advantage of this by whoopin’ some…
If after an entire summer of being subjected to the song non-stop and you’re still not sick of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” then, boy, do the Miami Dolphins have a treat for you! TD the Dolphin teamed with two Dolphins cheerleaders to put their own rendition of the infamous video…

Until the Gators decided to stick their big scaly tail between their stumpy little legs, the Miami Hurricanes-Florida Gators rivalry was a big deal. Indeed it was the oldest rivalry in the state, and perhaps at times even more heated then the FSU-UM rivalry. As one UM alum once put…
In this corner we have Jonathan Vilma, current New Orleans Saint and former Miami Hurricane. In the other we have the Miami Marlins. No, Vilma is not taking on the entire team in a game of 9-on-1 baseball (though, he might actually win). Vilma’s barbecue restaurant, Brother Jimmy’s, is in…
It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that Ricky Williams used to smoke pot the night before Dolphins games. And it’s even less of a surprise that former Dolphins Channing Crowder is blabbing about it…
With his $4.4 billion in the bank, couldn’t Dolphins owner Stephen Ross afford a few remedial classes in basic public relations? We’ll give you this crash course for free, Steve: Do not throw an insane $200 million donation at your alma mater months after stomping around and demanding that broke-ass…
There’s a line in Deadspin’s “Why Your Team Sucks” pre-season write up of the Miami Dolphins that theorizes that Stephen Ross will extract his revenge on the public for not supporting his stadium renovation plans “by slashing expenditures, threatening to move, and hiring Pitbull to perform at EVERY halftime.” Turns…
In what hasn’t exactly been the most enjoyable season for Miami Marlins fans, every fifth day has been a reward for the four prior. Jose Fernandez’s story has been well documented, and beyond his dominance on the mound, his genuine upbeat personality and demeanor on the baseball field have been…

LeBron James is going multimedia. The two-time champ is teaming with premium cable channel Starz to produce a sitcom that isn’t quite autobiographical, but it’s easy to see where the inspiration comes from. The show, currently titled Survivors’ Remorse, follows the lives of two kids from the streets of Philadelphia…
Usually if the Miami Dolphins are putting booty on display it’s their cheerleaders, but according to Deadspin their official Twitter account accidentally sent out a picture with a big, while serving of player’s ass in the background…
