If you’re texting a link to this story on your iPhone while you sip coffee and weave through morning traffic on the Dolphin Expressway using your knees — JUST STOP IT. Years of appealing to your common sense clearly hasn’t helped, so perhaps you’ll respond to the news that beginning…
Well, that fucking sucked. The fiery blaze you witnessed last night — descending unto the Earth with inestimable velocity and indiscriminate violence — was not the meteor that yielded the Chicxulub crater, but that previously sweet Dolphins high you were nursing. The Dolphins came into New Orleans feelin’ pretty damn…
It’s been a while since Christopher Wayne’s seen the spotlight. In 2010, the Wall Street Journal profiled the Ft. Lauderdale osteopath who’s prone to wearing CBGB shirts and spiking his bleach blonde hair. The write-up noted that he hangs with Paris Hilton and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, not to mention a…

Yesterday afternoon, Carlos Dominguez and his girlfriend, Andrea Corrales, went for a bike ride. The couple headed toward a trail in North Miami, with Dominguez biking in the road and Corrales cycling on the sidewalk, where she felt safer. They never made it to the trail. Instead, a black SUV…
When Real Madrid and Chelsea came to Sun Life Stadium for an exhibition game back in August the game came to an odd, temporary stop when a 19-year-old fan ran onto the field to hug superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and whisper sweet little nothings in his ear. Now the Real Madrid…

During the boy’s first court appearance on Friday, his father claims the boy was preparing himself against a zombie invasion. The dad…
The voice is scratchy but vaguely familiar. “I want you to tell the boys,” the man says in Spanish, “that today, Sept. 16, I am more alive than ever.” According to thousands sharing the recording across social media in Venezuela, the words come from none other than strongman Hugo Chavez…
Your Miami Dolphins enter tonight’s showdown between two 3-0 teams primed for an opportunity to show the world these are not the same old Dolphins limping into a primetime NFL matchup only to play like a paper bag full of shit. No, these Dolphins are coming into the Big Easy…
By the time Ronnie Pelham makes his third U-turn on North Kendall Drive, he’s visibly frustrated. The directions to the Dead Drop are vague, and his GPS keeps telling him to retrace the same 300-foot stretch with his silver Hyundai.

Like the amazing dinner you had on the last night of an otherwise disastrous vacation, the night of surprisingly tender lovemaking just weeks before you both decide divorce is inevitable or that one good song toward the end of your favorite band’s undeniably disappointing new album, Marlins pitcher’s Henderson Álvarez…
According to a report from MLB.com’s Marlins beat writer, the Marlins won’t be trading Giancarlo Stanton, the only good player on their sad little team, next season.

[Insert joke about a bill causing fireworks in Tallahassee here.] Florida bans regular citizens from buying fireworks that shoot of into the air for most purposes, but a bill filed by state Rep.

It’s that time again: when Miamians either don their spandex or their driving gloves, dust off their fixies or rent a Ferrari. Critical Mass is back. Tonight, Miami’s monthly bike ride will be carving a massive figure eight across Little Havana. If you want to participate in the peloton, show…
Aaron Fechter must be one of history’s strangest mechanical geniuses. After inventing Whac-A-Mole, the timeless game that allows children to beat the hell out of buck-toothed creatures popping out of holes, he rented a gigantic central Florida warehouse to create robotic, animatronic rock bands for Chuck E. Cheese’s and ShowBiz…
We wonder if she saw it coming. Rose Marks, a 62-year-old South Florida “psychic,” was found guilty of 14 fraud counts yesterday. The gypsy matriarch swindled Ft. Lauderdale and New York residents out of nearly $25 million, the Palm Beach Post reports. Marks had a brilliant idea: If you can…
