The sports scene in South Florida is in flux. With the departure of Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, sports fans are facing an identity crisis. When a person in Omaha, Nebraska thinks Miami sports, who do they think of now? Since 1984 the answer to that question has been pretty…
Most of the coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games has rightfully focused on how well athletes, their families, and media members will deal with disturbing circumstances and questionable security once they arrive in Brazil. When the Games kick off this Friday, much of the world will be holding its…
Last week, Miami Dolphins former No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan was conditionally reinstated by the NFL from a drug suspension. Jordan’s return means the Dolphins could potentially see him on the field Week 1, which would be his first regular season game December 2014. That’s good news, right? Well,…
Let me say this to all you perpetually negative Miami Dolphins fans; you’re being ridiculous. The 2016-17 NFL season marks a fresh start for the Dolphins, a time where all fans can come together, embrace, pull out their pocket schedule, point to each game, and confidently state “win”. It’s July;…

Put your very well earned dislike for Jeffrey Loria and David Samson aside, Miami. Because something extremely cool is brewing down at Marlins Park.

Take a deep breath, Heat fans. You can sleep now. Because barring some unforeseen blockbuster trade, this offseason is over for Miami.

A new app just launched in Miami. Using GPS maps, it inspires users to get outside and wander around the city. And along the way, many users collect unique experiences.

What’s the first thing you think of when someone mentions Miami sports? The 1972 undefeated Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins team? The 1997 Miami Marlins World Series squad? Maybe one of the Miami Heat title runs? Those might be the most famous teams or the freshest in our minds, but…
Believe us, Miami Heat fans: We know it hurts. We feel your pain. It’s totally understandable if you feel a little empty inside this week. It’s not every offseason that a legend is unexpectedly plucked from your hometown team and replaced by ex-New Orleans Hornets star forward Luke Babbitt. Not…
For an entire generation of South Floridians, Dwyane Wade is the last connection to long-gone period of sports fandom. When Wade arrived in Miami in 2003, there was no Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, or Instagram. “Hot takes” seemed more like the name of a food truck than a way to describe…
Thank you, Dwyane Wade. Thank you for the thirteen years of unforgettable and unimaginable memories. Just when we thought it couldn’t possibly get any better, it always did. Many teams in many towns will win championships in the future — maybe even ours — but nothing will ever top the…

Two years ago, then-free agent Dwyane Wade ended another game of chicken with the Miami Heat by posting these words to Instagram: “Home is where the heart is … My home, my city, my house … #HeatLifer.” At the time, the Heat needed him more than he needed them. After four straight trips to…

The Miami Heat have many questions entering NBA free agency, which begins Friday. Questions that, depending on how they are answered, could influence the paths the franchise takes for the next decade. The franchise is betting a lot on Pat Riley and his ability to once again pull a rabbit…
Hold onto your butts, Miami, because NBA Free Agency is here. This is the season after the season, where the NBA gods giveth and taketh away. What happens over the next two weeks is arguably more important than the season itself: thus, it’s officially time to start obsessing over who…
Heat fans have been on a roller coaster of emotion this week watching King James win a title in Cleveland. Some were happy for LBJ. Others joined #TeamPetty to root hard against the Heat’s former savior. Wherever you land on the spectrum, the simple fact is that LeBron wouldn’t…
In the end, LeBron James wins. That haze in the distance you see is the collective souls of #TeamPetty floating up to pettiness heaven, leaving the bodies of Miami Heat fans who can no longer deny the obvious: LeBron James is a bad mother-bleeper. As the kids say, game recognize…
