Last Tuesday, Miami Beach voters overwhelming voted in favor a symbolic vote for medical marijuana and a real vote to approve a queer- and trans-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance. It’s not exactly conservative-land. So it seems strange that a mysterious e-mail went out recently attacking commission candidate Michael Grieco for *gasp* living…

Intoxicated teen girls running wild in Florida in next to nothing isn’t just the plot to Spring Breakers. Kristen Forester, 18, was pulled over in Fort Pierce last month, and the officer found that the only thing she was wearing beside a seatbelt was a bra and panties…
While Burmese pythons have gotten all the attention, the Everglades now faces a threat from another foreign reptile menace: Argentine tegu lizards. When scientists first detected their presence in the swamp back in 2008, they thought they had a good chance to eradicate them, but it’s too late now. Much…
According to several reports, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is all but ready to hand both general manager Jeff Ireland and head coach Joe Philbin pink slips by the end of the season in the wake of the Richie Incognito controversy. The only hope the two have of keeping their…
Philip Levine managed to narrowly avoid a runoff in Tuesday’s dramatic Miami Beach mayoral election, and because that margin was so low (just 0.47 percent), state laws mandated an automatic recount. The results of that recount are now in, and Levine is now officially mayor-elect. No runoff against Michael Gongora…
Don’t mess with Donald Trump. He’s the kind of guy who, if you look at him the wrong way during a business deal, will find a way to exact revenge. City leaders in Doral found that out the hard way. The 2014 edition of the Trump-owned Miss USA pageant was…

Another day, another serving of evidence that Richie Incognito is a giant douche potato. Back in 2012 during a Dolphins-sponsored charity golf event, a female volunteer claims that Incognito touched her private parts with a golf club, rubbed his groin against her buttocks and poured water on her face. The…
In 2011, Kevin Dineen’s first season as the Florida Panthers’ head coach, it seemed the team was ready to shake off a decade of sucking. Indeed, the Cats won their first division championship. But Dineen’s next season saw the team finish second to last in the league, and now the…

Shortly after Charlie Crist announced he’d be running for governor as a Democrat on Monday, word came that he’d be doing his first big cable news interview as a candidate on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews. Crist was likely hoping this would be a chance to raise his national profile…
We’ve already made the case that in light of the Dolphins scandal involving Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito, general manager Jeff Ireland should resign or be fired, but new reports of his ridiculous immediate response upon learning of the problem only add to that argument. When Martin’s agent called Ireland…
Apparently it’s more controversial in America to call a white man a racist than it is to call a black man a “n*gger.” When it came to light that Richie Incognito had bullied Jonathan Martin until he walked out of the Dolphins facilities to seek help, the word from inside…
Safety tip: do not mess with a Floridian in a fast-food drive-thru line. You do so at your own risk. A incident at a Jacksonville Chick-fil-A is just the latest violent outburst caused in the state by someone cutting in a fast-food line…
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted this week that he smoked crack cocaine, while mayor, in a “drunken stupor.” LeBron James was in Toronto last night for the Heat vs. Raptors game. Understandably, the only thing Torontonians, including sports reporters, can talk about is that their mayor smoked crack. James had…

It’s beginning to look like Richie Incognito’s use of racial slurs was habitual. Warren Sapp, the former Miami Hurricanes great, faced Incognito only once in his NFL career but says that during that game, Incognito called him the N-word while on the field. Sapp, however, didn’t seem particularly offended by…
So last night I was live blogging and tweeting up a storm about election results, but I sort of had a personal chip on my shoulder. See, I like voting, and, after having previously lived in Coral Gables, this was my first time casting a ballot in a City of…
Today voters across the county went to the polls for elections in Miami, Miami Beach, Hialeah and Homestead as well as a county-wide referendum concerning funding for Jackson Memorial Hospital. As always, we’ll be keeping an update post on those results as they come back. We’ll update results at the…
Only four players have done it in NBA history, and tonight LeBron James will likely become the fifth. Yes, LeBron could join the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (who did it twice), Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and Moses Malone as a player who has played 500 straight games in which they…
Almost 30 years ago, William Potts, a Black Panther with his sights set on overthrowing the American government, boarded a Miami-bound plane out of Newark Airport with a pistol and plan. He hijacked the plane and demanded that the pilots fly to Havana. He thought he’d be greeted as a…
