One year ago, Canes fans were applauding Mark Richt for reinventing the way we eat sandwiches and thanking him for being the savior that the University of Miami football program desperately needed. Fast-forward to this season and the narrative on social media and Hurricanes message boards is that Richt should…
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…
Brock Osweiler threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns this past Sunday, leaving the 4-2 Miami Dolphins tied for first place in the AFC East in mid-October. His big game has also left the Dolphins with a full-blown quarterback controversy on their hands.
This Sunday at 1 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins will meet the Chicago Bears in what will undoubtedly be a fork in this season’s road for the Dolphins. A loss to Chicago means the Dolphins would find themselves at 3-3 after an electric, undefeated 3-0 start, officially chasing…
The Miami Hurricanes’ instant-classic 28-27 comeback win over the Florida State Seminoles last weekend marked the midpoint of the team’s 2018-19 season. The now-15h-ranked Canes have reeled off five straight wins since their season-opening loss to LSU, putting themselves back within striking distance of their first playoff berth.
For those of you who were busy watching the Miami Dolphins win their first three games, we now rejoin your typical Dolphins season, already in progress. Sorry — all good things must come to an end. Vacation over. Don’t be angry it’s over; be happy it happened at all.
This Saturday, the Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State Seminoles will meet for the 63rd time in their storied rivalry. For decades, UM-FSU has been the most important game on both teams’ schedules. This time around, though, the matchup is bigger than just this season. Saturday’s game is a mile marker for…
There’s a New York Times best seller called The Book of Awesome written by Neil Pasricha that’s based on his award-winning website, 1000awesomethings.com. The concept of both the book and the site is simple: Pasricha writes every day about one awesome thing.
The Miami Dolphins entered Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots looking to make a statement. They had a chance to not only move to 4-0 but also drop the Pats into last place in the AFC East, a full three games behind the Fins in the divisional standings with only 25 percent of the season gone. Everything was there for the taking if the Dolphins could find a way to beat the Patriots in Foxboro.
This Sunday, the Miami Dolphins have a chance to do something bigger than finishing the first month of their season undefeated. What they can accomplish this weekend is so much larger than being the first-place team in the AFC East in October. What the Fins have a chance to do is something every team in the NFL has been champing at the bit to accomplish for the better part of the past decade.
Even if you’re not a fan of South Florida sports teams, you know these people. They exist in large numbers and walk among us every day. They work in your office. They ride in your Uber Pool. They’re related to you. Hell, maybe you are one of these special brands of sports fan. These are the craziest-ass sports fans in Miami. Talk crap about them at your own risk.
The Miami Dolphins are 3-0. They’re also in first place in the AFC East. Oh, and they’re one of only four undefeated teams in the NFL. But most important, the Miami Dolphins are a lot of fun.
This week, Dwyane Wade gave his signature pump-fake to retirement, choosing instead to rejoin the Miami Heat and its fans for, as he termed it, “one last dance.” Wade gave a good thinking to hanging up his Li-Ning Way of Wade sneakers before deciding to return for this 16th year in the league…
What if everything you thought you knew turned out to be wrong? What if right was left, and up was down? What if, for just one year, all the things you knew to be bad were actually, uncharacteristically, not so bad?
Urgent and breaking news just in from the New Times news desk: The Miami Dolphins are 2-0. Everyone, man your stations. The Dolphins will enter the third week of the season undefeated for the first time since 2013.
Welcome to Dolphins-Jets week, home of the most heated rivalry in South Florida sports. It’s more storied than Heat versus Knicks. More meaningful than Marlins versus Mets. More bitter than Dolphins versus Bills or Dolphins versus Patriots. It’s the bleeping New York Jets against the Miami Dolphins…
If you attended last weekend’s record-breaking, seven-plus-hour Miami Dolphins game, you know that going to a football game can be more trouble than it’s worth. Between the rising prices of, well, everything, the traffic, and the overall declining on-field product, staying local and opting to spend a fraction of the money…
The Miami Hurricanes’ turnover chain made its much-anticipated season debut Saturday night during the Canes’ NSFW 77-0 beatdown of the Savannah State Tigers. At least we think they’re called the Tigers. When you lose 77-0, we’re not even bothering to Google your mascot. While everyone was expecting the Canes to…
The Miami Dolphins opened their season with 28 minutes and 49 seconds of entertaining football against the Tennessee Titans. The Fins’ retooled offense seemed to be firing on all cylinders, the defense was holding its own, and the home-opener crowd seemed livelier than usual at Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins led 7-3 about a minute before halftime.
The Miami Dolphins are set to open their season this Sunday, September 9, at Hard Rock Stadium against the Tennessee Titans. This 1 p.m. game is the NFL equivalent of a midday nap or, if you will, the missionary position of the NFL.
For quite some time, watching the Miami Dolphins play football has been more work than pleasure. Things were much easier when Dan Marino was slinging the football every Sunday at 1 p.m. and the Fins were winning more games than they lost.
Penalties, turnovers, botched punts, and an inability to make any sort of big plays: These are just a few of the reasons the Miami Hurricanes were absolutely pantsed by the LSU Tigers for three quarters last night, only to make the score look respectable with a frantic fourth-quarter comeback that…
