Now is the season of Miami’s discontent, thanks to our terrible local teams. The Dolphins are a joke. The Marlins are even worse than last year. The University of Miami Hurricanes aren’t much better, losing to Kansas State by 39 points. The Florida Panthers are locked out. And South Florida’s…
For the second week in a row, the Dolphins failed to capitalize on opportunities to close out a game and lost an overtime game they should have won. Given the “Cardiac Cards” moniker Arizona has earned as of late, you had to figure this game would get wild towards the…
Sports teams are like Hollywood movies: sometimes they can be so bad they’re actually good. Such is the case with the Miami Marlins, who are quickly becoming the Snakes on a Plane of professional baseball. More than seven years ago, Adam Greenberg was called up by the Chicago Cubs for…
I guess it’s only fair that since the Miami Heat have the undisputed best basketball player in the world that they should also have the worst player in the entire league.To no one’s surprise, ESPN’s experts today put LeBron James atop their #NBARank listicle, which is kind of hilarious because last…

The Miami Marlins first season in their taxpayer-funded Little Havana palacio has been nothing short of a catastrophe; the team was out of contention by August and so boring and terrible that the Franchise — the Showtime series chronicling the club’s season — ended early after star Hanley Ramirez got…
There was a time when kicker Dan Carpenter was responsible for the majority of the points the Dolphins scores, and could be relied upon to line up and bang out a field goal — from seemingly any distance — with a twirl of his flowing locks. That time is gone…
If this game was a fancy four course meal it would have started out with the greatest soup ever. Seinfeld Soup Nazi level soup. You’d be content with eating nothing but this soup for the rest of your life. Then the second course comes around and the waiter serves you…
When it comes to sports, there is a long and storied tradition of punking rookies. First-year professional ballers have being forced to wear Justin Bieber backpacks or had their SUVs filled with popcorn, for example.
