College athletic conferences are always finding new and exciting ways to further screw with the already tortured fabric of college football. The Big Ten has been talking for so long about expanding to 12 in order to get a championship game that we’re surprised it hasn’t happened. Now it seems to have raised…

As our own dearly departed Calvin Godfrey pointed out in 2007, Manuel Noriega and Miami really and truly deserved each other. “Where else does a corrupt, militant South American cocaine trafficker really belong anyway?” he wrote. “Certainly not France. All of his friends are here.” Maybe that’s why poor Manny is enjoying…
The federal trial of Luis Posada Carriles, accused terrorist and viejito par excellence, has been postponed yet again.It’s the second time this year the one-year-old case has been delayed. Carriles, widely seen as the mastermind of a series of bombings in Havana in 1997, and the collapse of a Cuban…
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland is sorry for asking Dez Bryant whether his mom was a hooker. So sorry, in fact, he released a statement to the Miami Herald (which didn’t even cover the outburst to begin with).”My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I’m…

People en Español has unleashed their annual Los 50 Más Bellos list, and for the most part is it chock full of unrestrained Latin sexiness. On the ladies’ side you got Sofia Vergara, Daisy Fuentes, Paulina Rubio, Telemundo anchor Carmen Dominicci and Thalía. On the guys’ side you’ve got newly…
Cubans went to the polls Sunday to pick new political leaders. As far as elections go, it was another tense, too-close-to-call battle between Communists and some other Communists.

Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland apparently has the biggest balls ever, or the littlest amount of tact and class possible. Because normal people would not ask prospective players if their moms were whores straight to their face.Ireland and the Fins brought in former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant for…
Last night, The Daily Show pointed out that even Tom Tancredo, one of the most zealous anti-immigration politicians and the man who called Miami a “third-world” country, didn’t approve of Arizona’s harsh new immigration laws. Now two of Florida’s own uber-conservatives, who happen to be the front-runners for the top…
People who say there’s never anything to do in Miami need to get over themselves. Because according to the decidedly un-fun wisdom of statistic, Miami is the fourth funnest city in America!Portfolio.com gathered statistics on 14 types of fun businesses (this is from a business site after all), and then…
Governor Charlie Crist is now publicly acknowledging that he’s considering pulling out of the Republican primary for the senate seat and running as an independent. But in classic Crist style he’s remaining vague on the details, and won’t even promise that if elected he’d caucus with the Republicans.Running for Senate…
On Friday, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed an immigration bill into law that would be the laughingstock of the nation if it weren’t so damn disturbing. Essentially, it legalizes racial profiling by allowing Arizona lawmen to stop anyone “suspicious” (read: brown-skinned) to demand their federal immigration papers. Many are already predicting…
Venezuela and Colombia are starting to become the Ned Flandars and Homer Simpson of Latin America: two neighbors with very different world views that are really starting to hate each other.Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez has even implied that if Juan Manuel Santos, the chosen successor of current conservative Colombian president…
I’m from Lahore, Pakistan. The city doesn’t share much with Miami, but my mind returns to my hometown whenever I come across a beggar here. There are many in both places.The modus operandi in Miami is strikingly different. A smart-looking, big man at a traffic signal near downtown recently caught…
Car collisions are a dime a dozen, but boat accidents? Not so much. Especially in the open blue sea. Three boaters were out off the Haulover Beach area when their vessel was hit by another boat. It began taking on water, and eventually completely capsized. Rescue teams begin searching for the boaters shortly…
