As the Golden State Warriors inch closer to breaking the Chicago Bulls’ twenty-year old NBA record of 72 wins, talking heads have begun arguing over which team is the best of all time. Sports fans love to claim that whatever we’re witnessing at the moment is the best ever, while…
Just when you think the Miami Heat are dead-and-buried, they come out of the All Star break looking like they spent the time off filming an NBA-themed edition of Extreme Makeover. This pleasant rejuvenation has coincided with the complete absence of both Chris Bosh and the Dwyane Wade, proving sports continues…
When your favorite television show calls it quits, the struggle is real. That particular night of the week that was once filled with joy, now feels empty without it. It’s akin to someone breaking up with you. You lost the love of your life, and you wish you could just…
Even today, it’s impossible to think about the Miami Dolphins for more than five minutes without the name Dan Marino popping into your head. There are Dolphins fans who watched their child age from birth to high school graduation all while Marino was under center. Dan Marino is treated like…
Chris Bosh’s latest bout with blood clots has us seriously spooked, because less Chris Bosh is always a terrible thing. We aren’t just talking basketball here, we’re talking about in life. Miami needs more Bosh, everywhere, always. Whether it be in ten years, or ten months, one day Chris Bosh is…
“The most difficult thing for individuals to do when they become part of a team is to sacrifice, it is much easier to be selfish.” — Pat Riley Arguably the most memorable, and consistently-sports-relative part of Pat Riley’s book The Winner Within is a portion where he speaks about an…
The Albert Einstein quote “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere” aptly sums up the point NatGeo’s hit show Brain Games tries to make. Our brains interpret information and influence every millisecond of our lives, yet the average person knows little about the most important part of the…
Now that the Super Bowl is over it’s time to face the cruel reality Dolphins fans have been dealing with for what feels like forever: football is gone, and it’s not coming back for a very long time. That sucks. We love football. We love football so much, that the…
At some point over the last week — as Hassan Whiteside dropped three-straight Drake diss-track-games on New Times and other “haters” Meek Mill-asses — I realized I somehow had become the “they” DJ Khaled so often warns his fans of. I most definitely played myself. Recently when asked…
Don’t be alarmed by that smoke you see on the horizon — it’s just the result of thousands of Heat fans overworking their ESPN Trade Machines. Because it’s officially nonsense season, the time of year where every fan talks themselves into believing their team can find a trade partner thirsty…
The Heat have done everything possible to co-exist with the phenomena that is Hassan Whiteside. They’ve coddled him in ways they’ve rarely done for any player. They’ve structured contracts — including that of their franchise star — to ensure that they could remain in a position to break the bank…
Lets not beat around the bush here — unless something big changes, the Miami Heat aren’t going to be playing basketball late into the NBA playoffs. As of right now, we aren’t even sure they will be in the NBA playoffs. Thankfully, the season is young, and there is still…
It’s award season, so we here at New Times decided now was as good as any to acknowledge the performances of a select few Miami Dolphins this past year. To be clear: This probably isn’t the sort of award Jada Pinkett Smith would be angry about her husband missing out…
Miami Heat fans are a fragile bunch at the moment, much like the team itself. Twitter arguments are erupting. Families are fighting families. Because midway through this wobbly season, so many questions remain for a Heat team that most figured would be on a roll by now. Instead, the Heat suffered…
It’s a new year, which means millions of people are renewing their dusty gym membership, setting new goals, and putting together plans that will result in 2016 being the best version of “you.” Then bam — you remember tax season is just around the corner and your motivation is killed. You plop…
Things have taken a turn for the worse for the Miami Heat this month, and it doesn’t appear they are trending toward getting any better any time soon. The Heat’s loss to the Clippers on Wednesday was their third straight, dropping the team to 22-17 — good for sixth in…
Hello, Adam Gase, and welcome to South Florida. I’m sure this is a chaotic time for you, you’re probably trying to figure out where you’re going to live, where the kids are going to go to school, and what the hell a Publix is. With all that going on, you…
It’s January, so you know what that means, Miami Dolphins fans; Introductory press conferences! Ah yes, a tradition like none other. Backdrops and promises. It’s like our own little holiday. If you’ve been a Dolphins fan for long enough, you’re starting to look at press conferences in a different way…
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross does not speak often — but when he does — people listen. Sometimes that is not such a good thing. Since he purchased the team in 2009, Ross has made a habit of saying stupid things when swerving outside his lane and talking NFL or…
A Miami man with his very own Heroes-like talent is set to appear on Fox’s Superhuman special. Cuban-born Miami resident Yusnier Viera will appear on the new two-hour special hosted by actor Kal Penn, and featuring guest-judges Mike Tyson, actress/comedian Mary Lynn Rajskub, and neurosurgeon Dr. Rahul Jandial. Twelve ordinary contestants will display…
The Miami Dolphins are officially on the clock. The Dolphins’ season-ending, 20-10 win over the New England Patriots was totally pointless — except that it means come April 28th, the Fins will occupy the eighth slot in the NFL Draft. Before the game, they had a chance to pick as…
Another Miami Dolphins season has come and gone, which can only mean one thing — your Christmas tree is still up. For those of you keeping score at home, you could now officially fit four World Cups between the Dolphins last playoff victory and their next one, whenever that happens. Seven-straight…
