It’s September 19, 1983. Scarface had yet to premiere in theaters. The Heat, Marlins and Panthers didn’t even exist. The Miami Hurricanes had yet to win a national championship. LeBron James hadn’t even been born. So many icons associated with modern day Miami had yet to exist. On that night,…

Last season, the Miami Dolphins had one of the most embarrassingly meager home-opener crowds in the team’s long history. This year, the Fins might actually sell out their home opener this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. As in an actual, honest-to-God sellout. Is it because the team is off to…
