Other than Twitpics of Dorell Wright’s dong, it’s the worst thing a Miami Heat fan can ever see: Dwayne Wade, grimacing in pain with team doctors checking his wrist. It happened last night after the first half of Miami’s 111-98 win over the New York Knicks. But with playoff seedings…
Last year in a slightly controversial cover story, New Times delved into the world of bestiality. We introduced you, whether you were prepared or not, to Malcolm Brenner, a Sarasota man who claims that a dolphin, named Ruby, was the love of his life. Now he’s completed work on a…
We laid out the scenario for how the Heat could move up in the playoff rankings, and everything seems to be going as planned. The team is now tied with Bucs for the fifth spot, after beating the Knicks 111-98. Nice way to rebound from Friday’s home loss to the…

Before this ordeal, we had no idea how serious thumb surgery can be. Canes QB Jacory Harris went in for surgery on his opposing digits shortly after last season and still isn’t able to throw a ball. However coach Randy Shannon says he should be doing what it is QBs…
You have to be pretty cold-hearted to hit a pedestrian with a vehicle and speed off, but to hit a little girl and not stay at the scene? Wow. Two-year-old Natalie Garcia was walking with her teenage sister on a sidewalk in Southwest Miami-Dade when an SUV jumped the curb…
