In a move that will save thousands of pieces of paper a year, the Miami Dolphins have stepped into the digital age and will replace their phonebook-sized paper playbooks this year with iPads. Each player was issued the Apple tablet. Though, that of course means players might be tempted to…
Is this the cover of an upcoming death metal album? No. Is this a promotional still for the latest movie in the Saw franchise? Nope. Is it the craziest Florida mug shot of the year? Quite possibly…
Has Raanan Katz never heard of the Streisand effect?The local real estate mogul and minority owner of the Miami Heat has sued a local blogger and Google to try and get an unflattering picture of himself removed from the Internet. Of course, that means now the picture will be seen…
In about half an hour, the champagne will start flowing, the vuvuzelas will start honking and, we can only hope, the Ronny Turiaf Dance will blow up Biscayne Boulevard.

Golden Beach has a problem. Its town manager allegedly drives like a gin-addled Gary Busey, and he’s in bed financially with the one person — the mayor — who could fire him. Alexander Diaz, manager of the tiny, wealthy, and epically fucked-up town where Eric Clapton and Ricky Martin have…

FIU…
For the Marlins, June is the cruelest month. They’ve cemented a tradition in the past few seasons of starting off strong and seeing it all sink away in the sixth month. A revamped roster, new name, new stadium, and new manager couldn’t stave off the June slump. They’re 4-14 for…

Riptide has had ESPN on and off of mute all morning. The TV listings say it’s just regular ol’ SportsCenter, but as far as we can tell “The LeBron James Blow Job Marathon” would be just as apt a title. In fact, the TV talking heads, newspaper writers and bloggers…
Kimberley Kelley, a Dunkin’ Donuts employee in St. Augustine, was making a bank deposit for her store Tuesday. Unfortunately she accidentally deposited a little bit more than money. She also stuffed 55 grams of marijuana in the deposit bag and ended up getting arrested. …
Last year we had to deal with the nauseating site of the Dallas Mavericks (along with front-runner fan supreme Lil Wayne) partying at LIV after their championship. This year it was finally the Heats turn to pop bottles at the Fontainebleau hotel’s super club. Naturally, the Miami boy out partied…
Six years ago, Miami New Times profiled a group of teens from Miami-Dade taking part in the unconventional-to-south Florida sport of ice hockey. Known as the Miami Toros Junior Hockey Club, the team was coached and owned by a Long Island native named Joseph Timpone. The article notes how Timpone…
Get your pots and pans out, Miami. Your Miami Heat are 2012 NBA World Champions!…
All across the Magic City this Thursday night, pots are getting wrecked by spoons, more car horns are getting leaned on than rush hour on the Dolphin and every half-decent bar is passing around shots of Jameson in honor of Bron Bron. Your Miami Heat are 2012 NBA Champions. We’ll keep…
Looks like its time to bring back the “Fuck you, Chuck” chants. While predicting that the Miami Heat will win tonight, and laying praise on LeBron James, professional loudmouth Charles Barkley took a swipe at Miami fans this morning on a D.C. sports radio show by claiming that the Heat don’t…

Good lord, maybe this really is becoming a trend? Following the “Miami Zombie” attack, yet another Florida man got high, got naked and got cannablisitic in that order.

So here’s the bad news: Miami will likely no longer be hosting the BCS Championship game every four years. Here’s the good news: The Orange Bowl is no longer in danger of total irrelevance and will likely become part of a long-awaited college football playoff system. BCS commissioners have reached…
Ronald Poppo, the homeless victim of the face-eating attack, faces a long and expensive road towards recovery. But the international interest in the gruesome event has an upside: To date, around 2,000 Samaritans have donated approximately $75,000 to go to his medical care. We got that figure from Larry Clark,…
Fidel Castro is apparently undeterred by American speculation about the recent brevity and downright bizarreness of his Reflection of Fidel newspaper column. The retired dictator dropped not one but two new pieces in the state media yesterday. One was some nonsense about yoga, while the other was about science and religion…
