Downtown Miami has an ever growing system of free transit thanks to the MetroMover and the relatively new free trolley system. Though, it’s frustrating that the trolley routes stop just short of the bustling Midtown and Wynwood areas. Now the city is fixing the problem — but during Art Basel…
Activities involving animals, food and children’s hands are bound to end in some gnarly bite wounds every once in a while.While a Georgia family was visiting Sea World in Orlando, 8-year-old Jillian Thomas ended up getting bit by a dolphin during a the park’s dolphin feeding exhibit…
Come January 7, either the Alabama Crimson Tide or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be hoisting the championships trophy in the middle of Sun Life Stadium. For local sports fans, either way it will be a stomach churning affair. Could there have been a more nightmarish mashup for fans…
Oh, you thought we were done with all that Birther nonsense? Nope, not by a long shot.Michael Voeltz, a Broward county man who claims to be a registered Democrat, has filed a lawsuit in Florida claiming that Barack Obama was not eligible to be on the state’s ballot because he’s…
Most sportscasters treat off-field tragedies the way Dolphins punter Brandon Fields treated the football on Sunday: like a live hand grenade. But rather than dance around the NFL’s latest gruesome death — Kansas City Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher murdering his girlfriend then killing himself this weekend — Bob Costas took…
“Have you ever wrecked one of these?” I ask as our burnt-orange Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse bursts onto the Julia Tuttle Causeway. Butch Leitzinger shakes his head. The mild-mannered man is Bugatti’s official driver, but a better title would be “pilot.” With a top speed of 260 mph, the…
Going into Sunday’s contest there was a feeling the Patriots’ offense could easily drop 60 points on the Dolphins’ atrocious secondary. Instead, Tom Brady had probably his worst game of the season, the defense kept the Fins in it for most of the game and rookie QB Ryan Tannehill had…
Christin Slater was once on Hollywood’s A-List, but he wasn’t on Miami-Dade’s voter list.Like almost everyone in Miami-Dade, Slater (who lives here now, who knew?) had a hell of a time voting on Election Day. After waiting in line for four hours, he was told he wasn’t properly registered. He…

For a man hated intensely by at least half the country, singer Chris Brown continues to catch some lucky breaks.Back in February, Brown was accused of stealing an iPhone from a fan who was trying to take pictures of him and then driving off in a chauffeured Bentley. Now, nine…
Sorry, guys. We won’t be getting any more info on the rumors that top Republican Party of Florida officials held a fundraising shindig in the Bahamas that featured a golf cart full of hookers. At least not anytime soon, it seems. A court today blocked the release of investigative reports…
An 84-year-old woman walking home from the grocery store was stuck and killed by a bus last night in Aventura, just one block from her own home. The incident happened around 6:15 p.m. at the intersection of 199th Street and NE 29th Place…
Let’s not kid ourselves.There’s a very good chance Tom Brady and Co. are going to come in to Sun Life on Sunday and absolutely destroy the living crap out of our football team. However, the one thing we have going for us is that (hopefully) no one on our team…
It was a two-story house, periwinkle blue with white window frames and a mottled stone chimney facing the street. It was built in 1926 on NE 68th Street in a neighborhood called Elmira, so named for the upstate New York town from which its first residents had come. It, along…
The Heat managed to pull out a 105-100 victory last night despite the Spurs fielding a team without Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker or Tim Duncan — all of which were sent home by Coach Gregg Poppovich to San Antonio after playing 4 games in the last 5 nights. Without San…
This is an actual press release sent out by an actual political party. The Republican Party of Florida to be exact. Someone (or perhaps multiple someones) actually wrote this, and made a Photoshop and decided it would be a good idea to send out…

Yes, it totally makes sense that if Jacksonville Jaguars fans wanted their own version of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ famed “Terrible Towel” they would call it the “Jag Rag.” We’re just not sure if the creators realized that name would induce fits of laughter in anyone who is or ever was…
When the Marlins signed Mark Buehrle last year, the starting pitcher soon realized that his pet pit bull Slater wasn’t welcome in Miami thanks to the county’s pit bull ban. At least in South Florida he had the option of moving his family up to Broward County, where the dogs…
A 6-year-old boy woke up in his Miami apartment this morning to realize he was all alone. So he grabbed a wooden duck, smashed a window, started walking the streets and flagged down a man for help. It turned out that his mom had snuck out after midnight and had…
Terry Jones is going to have to put off that tour of the pyramids. The firebrand, Koran-burning, riot-inciting minister of hate in Gainesville has been sentenced to death in Egypt over his role in promoting a film tied to deadly protests around the Islamic world this summer.Jones, predictably, used the…
Ever wanted to own the autograph of a man who gunned down an unarmed teenager guilty of nothing more than being black in his own neighborhood? If you agree with that sentiment, probably not. But the legion who think George Zimmerman is a Second Amendment hero who bravely killed a…
