Not one, not two, but a million pundits went…
That NBA legend and former NBA head coach Isiah Thomas found himself in the head coach’s office of Florida International University has always seemed so, well, randomly weird. So it’s inevitable that rumors pop up every once in a while that he wants to leave.The Chicago Tribune reports Thomas is…
Andy Roddick is still America’s best hope for men’s tennis glory, but he hasn’t won a Grand Slam since 2003 and hasn’t won the Sony Ericsson Open since 2004. After a few disappointing years, he seems to be back to form and recently staged a comeback against Rafael Nadal to…

We’re not supposed to make fun of certain groups, including overweight people. But every once in a while, a morbidly obese person comes along who so horribly exemplifies every stereotype that it’s hard to resist mocking him. Almost as hard to resist as it is for that person to avoid…
Who comes to Miami during spring break? Driving around the beach the past two weeks would suggest it’s mainly dumb post-pubescent kids in furry boots and microscopic bikinis. But maybe we’re being too hard on our vacationers. The Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages announced earlier this week it arrested nearly…

This blog post is dedicated to the snot-nosed raver kid who almost killed me Saturday night. I was the redhead on the bike. You were in an Escalade, thumping that bad techno song from the ’90s. I’m pretty sure you were even sporting a sideways visor. Maybe you were driving…
You guys, can we get personal here for a second? Because today, well, it’s kind of a hard day for me. See, I’m not a very big April Fools’ Day fan, but my Uncle Bobby always was. About five years ago, he set up an elaborate prank, an epic two-parter, on his…
