It’s fitting that the same day big trade rumors involving Heath Bell and Hanley Ramirez surface, episode two of The Franchise is pretty much framed around a trade deadline discussion roundtable with Jeffery Loria, Larry Beinfest and their DERP lackeys (or maybe the Marlins PLANTED those rumors as a sort…
The Miami Marlins kicked off their inaugural season with a flair of pomp, spectacle, and a gaudy home-run sculpture that lights up and spews water after every dinger and team win. They had a brand-new stadium, brand-new uniforms, new faces on the team, a new manager, and their very own…

David Mamet’s plays can be so ethereal and multifaceted that it can leave you breathless, like being hit by a massive wave. So to judge Race, his 2009 play that opened last night at the GableStage, with this in mind might be unfair. But Mamet is a brilliant playwright. So…

Race is a tinderbox subject that can either get people thinking or completely blow up in everyone’s face. That’s why most playwrights steer clear of the four-letter word in their work. Except when that playwright is Pulitzer Prize-winning badass David Mamet. He’s known for his scalpel-sharp wit and cutting dialogue,…

The Miami Heat shot 37 percent from the field last night. They turned the ball over nine times in the fourth quarter. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook both shot over 50 percent. Dwyane Wade’s performance was once again pure ass. Chris Bosh finished 3-for-12 from the field. LeBron James failed…
