There wasn’t much talk leading up to Sunday’s Dolphins-Buffalo Bills game. It was just another sleepy December matchup between two listless teams perpetually fighting to see who can finish runner-up to the New England Patriots in the AFC East. Nobody outside Buffalo and…

Every Heat game played this year is one less chance to witness the greatness of Dwyane Wade. As games disappear from the schedule like figures in Back To The Future photos, the reality still hasn’t fully set in that soon Wade will no longer perform that glorious shot fake…

Both glass-half-full and half-empty brands of Miami sports fans can agree on one thing: The Miami sports landscape could use some serious injections of energy and excitement. This is one of the most dynamic cities in America. It’s vibrant and proud. No one could ever mistake Miami for some middle…

The Dolphins’ Sunday afternoon matchup with the Indianapolis Colts was basically a playoff game. At 5-5, losers of five of their last seven, and toward the bottom of a bunch of teams tied for the last playoff spot in the AFC, the Dolphins couldn’t afford to lose to the Colts,…

Ryan Tannehill is back behind center for the Miami Dolphins this Sunday after a five-game absence due to multiple shoulder issues. He returns just in time for a pivotal game against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, who are also 5-5 and tied for the final Wild Card spot in the AFC…

This is a time to give thanks and acknowledge all the good people and things for which you are truly grateful. Thanksgiving is a happy day when everyone comes together to feast. Nobody hates it. It’s almost impossible to be negative on a day all about food, family, and watching football…

The bad news: If the season had ended this past Sunday, the Dolphins would have been left on the outside looking in at the NFL playoffs. At 5-5, the team would be the eighth seed in the AFC. The players would be preparing for the draft, not the postseason.

According to Elisabeth Kubler Ross, there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. With the Heat currently a middling, capped-out under-.500 non-contender in a league filled with superteams and ascending second-tier teams, fans have definitely reached the fourth stage. We are bummed. That’s…

For most Heat fans this weekend brought bad news: Disgruntled All-Star guard Jimmy Butler was traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Philadelphia 76ers, rather than to the Heat. Some fans thought acquiring Butler would have returned our Vice jersey-wearing ballers back to the NBA Finals conversation. Then the Heat, an underdog…

Most everyone works hard all week to get to the weekend. Said weekend often involves a good dose of sports for those who choose to partake. Normally, sports provides a nice getaway. It’s something to invest in and enjoy after a long week. This past sports weekend had Miami fans…

Reshad Jones thinks it’s time to move on. He thinks everyone should just forget he refused to reenter his team’s crucial 13-6 win last Sunday against the New York Jets. The Dolphins’ safety wants everyone to know he and the coaches are on the same page now, so don’t worry…

It’s officially time to call it — the Miami Hurricanes 2018 are an unmitigated disaster. Sitting in fifth place in the ACC Coastal Division with four losses to their name and a current Sports Illustrated prediction of a meeting with USF in the Gasparilla Bowl should be enough to…

What did the doctor prescribe for a banged-up Miami Dolphins team that had lost four of its last five games and saw little good news ahead at the season’s midway point? A second helping of the New York Jets…

There is more to fielding an NBA team than just picking players. The lifeblood of a contender depends on things like good-value contracts, draft picks, and having extra currency beyond just money to spend. The teams that best manage their assets are usually champions whose success lasts. With reports that…

Goran Dragic will forever be linked to LeBron James in the minds of Miami Heat fans. And that’s likely not a positive thing. When the Heat acquired Dragic from the Phoenix Suns in 2015, it was part of an effort to quickly pick up the pieces,…

The Dolphins officially managed to piss away their promising 3-0 start, turning their first seven games, instead, into a very Dolphins 4-3.

Ryan Tannehill has had 82 games to prove himself the right man for the job. He’s been asked to drop back and throw passes for the Miami Dolphins nearly 3,000 times. He’s seen general managers, head coaches, hundreds of players, and even the stadium he plays in and the logo…

We’re now more than a week into the NBA season, and Jimmy Butler still plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was not expected. Butler was supposed to be in Miami by now, or at least anywhere but Minnesota, after he requested a trade a month ago. Just a couple of…

At first, the Dolphins trade of Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns seemed iffy. Sending away a wide receiver who set reception records in his first four seasons in exchange for a middle- and late-round pick didn’t seem like the smartest move. But consider the cash…

The Miami Dolphins lost to the Detriot Lions 32-21 Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. It amounted to an all-around sleepy effort in the Fins’ second game without starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The loss dropped them to 4-3 and, because of the Patriots’ win over the Bears, to second place in the AFC East. All in all, the Dolphins’ first seven games of the season will be remembered for blowing a chance to catapult the squad into the upper tier of AFC playoff teams.

Pumpkin-flavored everything is back, Publix is stocking up on turkeys, Christmas has overtaken an entire corner of Walmart… which can only mean: The Miami Heat is playing basketball again. Hallelujah! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! It’s been a long six months since…
