La Crystal King-Woolfork walked into the bedroom with another woman ready to offer her boyfriend a threesome. She left the bedroom in handcuffs — and not the fun kind. On September 26, King-Woolfork, of Indian River County, was out with her lady friend at a club called Shake Your Booty…
Five weeks ago, Diana Nyad completed her historic 53-hour swim from Havana to Key West. But days after Nyad crawled onto the Keys gasping for breath, internet interlocutors raised doubts that the 63-year-old actually completed her lifelong dream.

It’s been a tough few days for Miami Beach mayoral candidate Philip Levine. First, at last week’s mayoral debate, the businessman was charged with making a racist comment after he promised to change the city hall ethos from “being mañana, lazy.” Then, he suffered a scathing writeup in the Miami…
Like many Miamians, you probably read our August 21 story about FIU frat brothers openly selling drugs on Facebook and thought to yourself: Those guys are f—ed. Al contrario, mi amigo. This is Florida, where bad deeds go unpunished all the time and state law practically encourages people to shoot…
Seantrel Henderson came to the Miami Hurricanes as one of the most celebrated and heavily recruited offensive tackles. In Sunday’s game against Georgia Tech, Henderson sat out the game — yet again — for unspecified team rules violations, and it looked like the Canes hardly missed him. His college career…
What’s the difference between porn — where people hump for money — and prostitution, where one person pays another for sexual services? Nothing, claims Michael Weinstein.

Earlier this morning news broke that the Miami Dolphins officially submitted a proposal to bid for Super Bowl 52 in 2018. It only took a few hours for the NFL to say, “Listen, we really appreciate your interest, but we’re looking to go in another direction.” Miami was shut out…

For the past few seasons, the Miami Heat has been known for elaborate intro videos played before games. Back when Dwyane Wade was the only star on the team, the videos looked ripped from the pages of GQ, with designer duds and flashy neon effects. But ever since LeBron James…
Turns out it was even worse than we’d thought. Reno Yohai, a five-time felon and child molester, didn’t have 34 pit bulls trapped inside his West Park home, on the border of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, as New Times reported two weeks ago in a 1,800-word story showing Yohai to…

In today’s world of hyper-partisan political bickering, we’re not sure where the line of good taste lies anymore. But we’re pretty sure making fun of a cancer patient for having cancer decidedly crosses that blurry line. Republican Pinellas County Committeeman Dan Tucker is in hot water for making such a…
Naming a business might be one of the most important decisions an owner can make. You want something that effectively communicates what you offer while being both memorable and setting you apart from your competition. Or you could just choose something so awesomely off-the-wall that people have no choice but…
There’s really no doubt that Florida leads the nation — if not Planet Earth — in insane crimes. In the past month, we’ve had an elderly guy showing up pants-less and masturbating at a McDonald’s drive-thru, a woman twerking obscenely in front of a school bus full of kids, and…
Man has been preoccupied with sport since the beginning of time. But just like any other subculture, sports fandom seems slightly insane to anyone who’s not a part of group. It can be downright intimidating. I’m new to Miami and NBA fandom, but with the world champs back in action,…
As 200 protesters chanted and waved signs, Israel Hernandez’s sister voiced the concern that had drawn so many to South Beach on a Sunday afternoon. “Today, I [still] do not know why my brother died,” Ofir Hernandez shouted to the crowd. “They have not given us answers.” In fact, Miami…
Miami Dolphins fans haven’t had a quarterback jersey they could wear for more than a season or two ever since Dan Marino’s retirement in 1999. So maybe it’s not much of a surprise that Ryan Tannehill jerseys are selling like hotcakes…

If you are a fan of a Florida Division I FBS football team, you had good reason to celebrate Saturday. It didn’t matter which team you were rooting for. For the first time since the FAU Owls became an FBS subdivision team in 2005, all seven Florida teams won games…
Remember during Rick Scott’s campaign he promised to bring Arizona-style immigration laws to Florida, open our coasts to offshore drilling, and ban embryonic stem cell research in the state? Yeah, well none of that has actually happened. In some cases Scott didn’t even bother to actually pursue those ideas. In…
