In today’s surprisingly light roundup of horrible things and various crimes that happened over the weekend in our fair metropolis: Norwegian’s Epic cruise ship is forced back to the Port of Miami after a man dies after eating food, a gunman attacks a Greyhound bus, and the city’s bond status is called into…
A twenty-something cyclist is “clinging to life” after a nasty collision with a Kia in Little Havana sent him sprawling to the pavement. Now police are asking for help as they try to identify the man, whose face is badly swollen from the crash.Click through for a photo of the…
If the NBA were a Disney sports movie, the Miami Heat would be the team of freakishly large, scowling kids who pull up to games in an all-black bus, wear Dolph Lundren buzz cuts, and scare the crap out of the scrappy underdogs. The upcoming season will be a lot more…
There are several things we can glean from the Dolphins 10-7 pre-season win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Saturday: Pat White is probably done, the Marlins infield is where football goes to die and Dolphins fans remain pretty irrational after just one meaningless game. What’s that? Brandon Marshall…
The signs went up about a month ago, stapled high on light posts along I-95, the Julia Tuttle Causeway, and Biscayne Boulevard. They’re nothing more than a hand-scrawled message on fluorescent cardboard, yet they’re weirdly compelling: “Hungrerapper.com,” they say, and nothing more.Visit the site, as thousands of people have done…

Miami Dolphins football is back! And although it’s a meaningless preseason game where the starters will see less than five minutes of playing time, it’s still football. And you will watch it because you love it. And you will pick some random anonymous bench player who has a great game…
Brandon Marshall probably would have been the biggest accusation of the off season for a Miami team if it wasn’t for that whole LeBron thing. Maybe he was worried we forgot about him, so he decided to say something ridiculous to garner some attention. See Marshall thinks there’ll definitely be…
Steven Slater — the beer-wielding, expletive-dropping, emergency-slide-sliding, doughy Jet Blue flight attendant — reminded us that any visit to the airport can be an adventure. And in Miami, we up the ante on the high jinks, if not hijackings. Here are five post-9/11 reminders (most of which occurred this year…
Dearest Miami Heat: Why, oh why, do you hate Miami New Times so very much?You aren’t still pissed that we called your owner, Micky Arison, a “greedy corporate pig,” are you? Are your feelings still hurt because we superimposed his face on a gigantic swine for the cover? Perhaps you’re…

This sign (there’s a larger photo after the jump) hangs in the window of a spy supply store on Biscayne Boulevard at NE 137th Street, right across from a Dairy Queen drive-thru lane, which somehow seems appropriate. The only thing more ‘Merican than paranoia and patriotism, after all, is a 1,000-calorie…
Do you find yourself unconsciously smashing things: strangers on the street, shopping carts, trash cans, or stray poodles? Do you have an irresistible urge to sprint until you puke; wear a jockstrap; or put eye black on like Cristina Kirchner?Fear not, friend. Your time has come.Yesterday was the first day…

Key Biscayne’s Academy of Martial Arts RDCA apparently wants to help you beat the queer out of your cross-dressing son. At least that’s the message a new set of print ads conveys. Put together by local agency Zubi Advertising, the two print ads feature a little boy getting in touch with…

According to a new analysis from Portfolio.com, your Miami Dolphins ranked near the bottom in both categories in 2009. Of the league’s 32 teams,…
Maybe we’re biased, but we think the University of Miami athletics logo is one of the most original and aesthetically pleasing in all of sports. It’s minimalist yet says so much. However, in its ACC preview, Rivals’ group of experts seems to think the team’s helmet, which features the logo,…
With millions of his own dollars at his disposal and an aggressive campaign, political outsider Rick Scott seemed he might take the Republican primary for governor over career politician Bill McCollum.
