Wearing an Izod shirt and a backward black Nike hat, Miami Dolphins guard Jonathan Martin attended a football game Saturday in which his alma mater Stanford was upset by University of Southern Calfornia. Oddly, the defeat of the fourth-ranked Cardinals 20-17 wasn’t the story for much of the country. The…
Late last month, Miami Beach Police swept into an $8.3 million mansion perched on the bay. As they climbed a marble staircase looking for the master bedroom, the house seemed empty. But inside a cavernous closet, they found nearly $17,000 in cash nearby the bearded and sallow body of Texas’…
The Dolphins entered Sunday’s game against the Chargers looking to get back to .500 while hoping to return to serious contention for an AFC wild card slot. Check and check. The Fins beat the Bolts Sunday night 20-16. Ryan Tannehill finished 22-35 for 268 yards, one TD, and one INT,…

Yesterday afternoon, something insane happened. Prominent local blogger Carlos Miller declined to comment for a story when reached by New Times. This was remarkable because (a) Miller loves to talk and (b) the circumstances of the short conversation were rather strange. Miller, who runs the blog Photography Is Not a…
Prior to the Monday-night game against the winless Buccaneers, Dolphins players swore up and down that all this drama for your mama would bring them closer together and propel them to a statement win in front of a national audience. Loyal Dolphins fans pointed their loyal Dolphins finger in your…

Miami is an area that caters openly to youthful urges. Clubs are open till the wee hours. The cultural scene continues to grow. We’ve got beaches and bike gatherings and bacchanals galore, but perhaps the metro area isn’t so great at catering to youthful needs. The Miami/Fort Lauderdale/Pompano Beach metro…

The Christian Family Council, a group whose name distracts from the fact that their main mission is battling against LGBT right in Miami-Dade County, recently released something of an infomercial for their Citizen Leadership Institution in which a wide array of local citizens testify that they feel “empowered” after going…
Think literary events are for snobs? Such an assessment would make you an awful person, although this year’s Miami International Book Fair did just get decidedly more dickish. Former vice president and current cowboy-hat enthusiast Dick Cheney’s imminent appearance was announced yesterday in a news release, leaving mere days for…

Lydia had just left a phone message, and it sounded urgent. “I need a babysitter,” she murmured into the Miami man’s voicemail from her house on East Seventh Street. “There are a few kids here that need to be disciplined. I really need someone to get through to these rascals,…
Lou Panick dreams of YouTube stardom. The only thing holding this wannabe prankster back is that he can’t come up with a single idea beyond harassment. Most of his uploads revolve around assaulting pedestrians or making offensive comments about women on Miami Beach. It’s all typical juvenile fare that no…
The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing plans for a 1,100-foot-tall monstrosity at 700 Brickell Ave., currently the Northern Trust Bank building. One Brickell City Centre would be taller than any skyscraper in Miami, Atlanta, or anywhere else in Dixie. It would even be loftier than Manhattan’s Chrysler Building. And it…
It was near midnight on a Saturday in late August when a thin 25-year-old in a Miami Dolphins cap flexed the platinum chain around his neck, hoisted a two-inch-thick stack of hundred-dollar bills, and giggled at the absurdity of it all. Just two months ago, the young rapper had been…
Have you ever wanted to take a trip down one of Florida’s beaches without leaving your computer? Well, that’s kind of sad, but starting next year you’ll be able to. Visit Florida, the state’s tourism and marketing arm, has teamed with Google to use their street mapping technology to capture…
