The last time the Miami Heat faced the Los Angeles Clippers, it fell to the league’s bottom dwellers by a score of 97-96. A one-point loss to one of the league’s worst teams is never easy to swallow, especially when the loss comes courtesy of an inadvertent whistle from a…
Miami Heat versus Orlando Magic has been one of the hottest in-state rivalries in the NBA, if you can call one team thoroughly dominating the other a “rivalry.” Because it really hasn’t been much of one at all lately, thanks to Orlando holding a 10-game regular-season winning streak over the…
Last season, the Florida Marlins introduced the first Major League Baseball all-male dance squad. That in and of itself would be unique. But the Manatees are not your everyday run-of-the-mill average male dance squad. They’re actually your everyday run-of-the-mill average Joes. And by that, we mean they’re shaped like potatoes…
The BSC Bowl Championship series kicks off with the 2009 FedEx Orange Bowl at Dolphin Stadium. And you could not ask for a crappier matchup to get things rolling. The ACC champs Virginia Tech Hokies are set to face off against the Big East champs Cincinnati Bearcats in the 75th…
When the Miami Heat faced off against the New Jersey Nets two weeks ago, Dwyane Wade matched a season high by pouring in 43 points on Dirty Jersey. The game featured three of the NBA’s top 10-point scorers in Wade and the Nets’ Devin Harris and Vince Carter. While going…
Before the NBA Draft this past June, the consensus by scouts and executives was that the draft class was all about highly touted guard Derrick Rose and prolific forward Michael Beasley, with everyone else a distant second. On June 18, the Chicago Bulls made Rose the first overall pick. The…
On any given day, Miami is chock-a-block with bruisers ready to start a brawl, so it makes sense the state-sanctioned mixed martial arts organization Revolution Fight Club is capitalizing on our pool of local talent. The group produces regularly scheduled professional MMA events and championship fights as well as live…
Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade has been playing like a man possessed. D-Wade is averaging 29.5 points per game — tops in the NBA — and is among the league leaders in steals, with 2.3 per game. While the Heat has been floundering to stay within three or four above…
This time last year, Miami Dolphins fans were wondering when the pain was going to stop. Most of us longed to run into traffic or stick our heads into a pre-heated oven, or have our nuts slammed into a waffle iron — anything to replace the pain being inflicted upon…
Alonzo Mourning is a warrior. His full-throttle, muscle-flexing, bad-ass, scowling, workmanlike approach as the Heat’s starting center won over fans from his first day. His drive and tenacity are legendary. Even when he was diagnosed with a rare and incurable kidney disease, you just knew Zo was going to confront…
When the Miami Heat faced the Charlotte Bobcats November 1, NBA legend and Charlotte managing partner Michael Jordan sat and watched courtside as his Cats took down the Heat 100-87. Gerald Wallace exploded on Miami for 30 points as the rest of the Bobcats crashed the boards, controlled the tempo,…
The 2008-09 Miami Heat season is filled with questions. Can they win without a true center? How many times will they triumph? How many will they lose? But the main question on everyone’s minds before the season was whether we’d see the dominant Dwyane Wade of the Summer Olympics, or…
What a difference a year makes. Last time the New England Patriots were in town, they humiliated the Miami Dolphins on their way to a perfect 16-0 regular season. They were the bullies on the block, complete with a juggernaut offense, a classless coach, and insufferable douchebag fans. But all…
It’s still very early, but it seems like this is going to be an up-and-down season for the Miami Heat. Sure, the team is replete with talent (Dwyane Wade, Michael Beasley, Shawn Marion), but it is lacking an experienced ball-handling point guard, has no real center, and includes too many…
It’s safe to say Miami Dolphins fans have the psyche of a plumber who has had too many toilets explode in his face. This season the team is a legit contender for not only a playoff spot but also the AFC East title. Midway into the season, the Fins are…
Home-field advantage has its privileges. When the Dolphins were down 16-7 in the second half two weeks ago against the Buffalo Bills, Miami fans began to get that old familiar feeling. That same feeling you get when your flight is about to hit an onslaught of turbulence. You see, in…
It’s appropriate that the Miami Heat should have the 2008-09 season home opener on Halloween night. Last year’s abysmal 15-win season was a little like thinking you got a bag full of candy but discovering the neighbors gave you a bag of 25-cent condoms. And you went through all that…
Although this Miami Hurricanes team is very young and very inexperienced, the overall preseason consensus was that the guys would be feisty and competitive. But after giving the powerhouse Gators all they could handle a few weeks ago, the Canes have been largely a disappointment in many ways. Quarterback Robert…
There once was a time when the biggest rivalry in the NFL was the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. It was intense to be sure. Dolphins linebacker Brian Cox once famously walked into Buffalo’s Ralph Wilson Stadium while giving the finger to Bills fans as they hurled boos and other…
After stumbling out of the gate and losing their first two games of the season, the Miami Dolphins have been reborn. These are no longer the milquetoast, punch-to-the-collective-nut-sack Dolphins of the past. This team has been revived by an unexpectedly obstinate defense and a new offense that features one of…
Rowing along the picture-perfect, sun-dappled waters of the Indian Creek waterway with the Miami Beach skyline as the backdrop — is there really any other way for a race to be done? The Head of the Indian Creek Regatta offers such an experience. This 2.8-mile rowing race against the clock…
Up-and-coming fighters who can kill ordinary men with their feet are the featured attraction at the IFC Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts bout, taking place this Saturday night at the Miami Mart Airport Hotel. Black-belt martial artists and businessmen Diego Molinari and Kevin Cardona founded Kinte Promotions in order to…
