Hialeah Police made a ghastly discovery early this morning: a burned-out car in an industrial area parking lot with human remains inside. Even more disturbing: The fire caused such extensive damage that police couldn’t immediately tell how many bodies were inside the car…
At 1 a.m. last Thursday, Miami Beach Police discovered a short, bullish man wandering on the Rivo Alto bridge. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark shirt, and his face was covered in hideous purple bruises. This man — who once sued Goldrush strip club over a $19,000 bar…
At the risk of sounding like a D.A.R.E officer, it’s common knowledge that taking molly is a little like playing Russian roulette with your system. Perhaps because it’s marketed as the luxury brand of chemicals, it’s almost considered gauche to ask what’s in it. Or, on the other hand, maybe…
The George Zimmerman saga has already given Florida a terrible national reputation. The mention of Miami teen Trayvon Martin conjures images of tragedy, gun-crazed neighborhood watchmen, and Stand Your Ground. So it’s not exactly helping our state’s rep that a photo of two white guys from Florida went viral this…
The Dolphins stormed out of the gate yesterday with a 17-3 lead. But then they did that so very Dolphins thing they do and gave up 24 unanswered points to what on paper and early on seemed like a depleted, lost, and hurting Patriots team. Alas, there is no better…

If there’s any doubt that former Republican governor Charlie Crist will challenge Rick Scott as a Democrat next year, Crist’s new online ad released with the relaunch of his website should erase that uncertainty. It’s not technically a campaign ad, because Crist hasn’t officially announced his candidacy, but it sure…
Sweetwater Mayor José M. Díaz sure knows how to pick ’em. On Thursday, hours after he announced Jesús “Jesse” Menocal would be his city’s police chief, CNN Latino Miami reported Díaz’s nominee was implicated in an old Miami Police internal affairs investigation involving a drug trafficker and a plot to…
Mike Miller was one of three Heat players to get swindled by con man Haider Zafar, and now he’s considering suiting the team for responsibility. The suit is drawn up according to The Herald, but Miller hasn’t officially filed it yet. In the suit Miller would seek $1.7 million, the…
Pollo Tropical. Snapper. TGIF Friday’s. Dunkin Donuts. McDonald’s. Miami City Commission candidate Richard Dunn loves him some food. And, according to yesterday’s campaign finance report — which arrived three weeks late — he will spend, and spend freely when it comes to terrible food. While other candidates sashay and schmooze…
The Dolphins travel to New England on Sunday and three weeks ago most Dolphins fans would have greeted this challenge with a salivating maw. Today, however, our collective asshole is clenched tighter than Justin Bieber entering the showers of a maximum security prison on national “Fuck a Horrible Human Day.”…
Since July, one petition has been Florida dope-smokers’ great white hope. By August, People United for Medical Marijuana had already collected 100,000 signatures from people who favor medicinal weed. That milestone meant an amendment to legalize medical marijuana would appear before the Florida Supreme Court. By the latest count three…
Miami may not have headless horsemen haunting it, but our streets are pretty freakin’ scary nonetheless. We’ve got zombies eating people’s faces, sharks miraculously swimming our streets, and, of course, motorists driving like demons straight out of Hell. So it seems fitting that tonight’s edition of Critical Mass Miami will…
One need only look at the Marlins player payroll for evidence that owner Jeffrey Loria is cheap, but news that the team is under federal investigation for wage violations have nothing to do with anything on the field.

We’ve already told you about plans to bring a college football bowl game to Marlins Park. Well, the plans were officially announced today with one major surprise. The name of the game: the Miami Beach Bowl. Now for those of you not familiar with local geography, Marlins Park is located…
There’s no denying that three years ago, LeBron James was the biggest villain in sports. Hell, Heat fans themselves were treated as rouges just for daring to root for him. But after two back-to-back championships, LeBron’s public image has recovered. Of course, the sports media always needs a villain, and…
The University of Miami’s main library is currently being evacuated after a bomb threat. Campus security issued an emergency alert at 10:28 a.m. this morning.
