Socked with a $53,000 fine for fielding a boy’s basketball team that repeatedly trampled the rules last season, Dr. Michael M. Krop’s new principal is battling the penalty. In an appeal filed in September with the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), Dawn Baglos doesn’t deny that her school cheated…
Is LeBron James thinking of pulling a Michael Jordan? Well, we all know he wants to win six rings, but we’re talking about another career move echoing Jordan. As in temporarily quitting basketball to pursuit a career in another sport. With the cancellation of the first two weeks of the…

Tim Tebow has been named the new starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos according to several reports, and now he’ll be looking forward to the opposing team hosting a celebration partially in his honor during his first starting game. As if the Dolphins’ plan to honor the 2009 University of…
Nike knows LeBron James is special. He has the heart of a lion they say, but the new logo they’ve unveiled or the Heat star’s latest apparel line is pretty generic. Dubbed the “Lion 6” logo, LeBron actually debuted the logo while wearing a prototype of an off-the-court jacket during…
Suck for Luck fever has struck the Miami Dolphins fan base in part because the team hasn’t had a decent pigskin slinger since Dan Marino. Yeah, well, Marino thinks purposely tanking for the number one pick in the next NFL draft is “ridiculous.” Perhaps he has a point. He was…
December 6, 1982 was the last time that neither the University of Miami, Florida State or University of Florida football teams were in the AP poll. Since then the college football teams of the state of Florida had gone on to dominated modern college football, winning 10 national championship between…
It’s gringos versus catrachos in tonight’s international friendly soccer match at Sun Life Stadium.The U.S. soccer team is looking for its first win under new coach Jurgen Klinsmann, while Honduras is looking for a bit o’ respeto against its normally dominant northern neighbor.We’re live blogging the game. After a crappy…
You thought the Marlins’ rumored new logo could cause eye cancer? Well, if you value your sense of sight, you might not want to take a peek at the absolutely insane robotic structure the Marlins plan to install in their new stadium. It’s like someone vomited a bunch of cliché South…
Chad Henne isn’t the only Miami quarterback struggling.After leading Miami Central High School to its first ever state title last year, Rakeem Cato has had an up-and-down season so far at Marshall. He’s started all five games, but has thrown as many interceptions (7) as touchdowns.Tomorrow he’s back in Florida…
Be careful what you wish for Dolphins fans. Sure, a lot of us had hoped to have a Henne-less season, we just dreamed it would be because the team brought in someone better. Now we just have a gaping Quarterback void, because anonymous sources snitching to the Associated Press say…
Despite the weekly disaster show on the field, the Miami Dolphins are at their highest level of popularity in years. That’s according to a Harris Interactive poll that ranks the 32 NFL teams from America’s most favorite to least. The Dolphins are America’s 13th favorite team. Unlucky number as it might…
With Chad Henne probably out because of his injury, someone else will become the Dolphins’ 16th starting quarterback in the 13 years since Dan Marino’s retirement. The job will most likely go Matt Moore, barring a miraculous Henne recovery, but the Fins are still on the hunt for other backups. ESPN…
As if the Dolphins needed more problems, it appears Chad Henne’s shoulder injury is pretty serious. Now multiple reports are claiming the Fins are downright desperate to bring in some new QB blood and have reached out to both David Garrard and Jake Delhomme…
College football players getting into fights on the field? It happens. College football players getting into fights in their downtime? Yeah, it happens too. College football players attacking former players of the opposing team immediately after a game? That has allegedly happened too, now. Reggie Myles, a former defensive back…
The Miami Dolphins did that thing again where they play like their scrotums are stapled to their thighs, this time losing 26-16 to the San Diego Chargers. In the process, they lost Chad Henne to a shoulder injury, forcing backup Matt Moore to step in and do exactly what Henne’s…
It wasn’t Michael Jordan in Space Jam (few things, unfortunately, are) but Chris Bosh made his network acting debut Wednesday night on an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Bosh was joined by Carmelo Anthony, and the two played former players of a legendary high school coach (played…
In terms of mascots, TD the Dolphins doesn’t get much respect. Despite being a dolphins he’s actually kind of terrifying looking, plus he’s sort of a let down from the days the ‘Fins had an actual Dolphins in the stadium. At least the dude has mad soccer skills, which he…
Are the Marlins about to go on a free agent spending spree that would make the Heat blush? Doc Gooden, the slightly disgraced former pitching star who appeared on the fifth season of Celebrity Rehab, reports (apparently exclusively) on his Twitter that Albert Pujols, one of the best players in the…
Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh haven’t played together since the last game of the NBA Finals, and with the lockout in full effect we weren’t sure when it would happen again. That’s about to change. The trio is expected to announce plan for a charity All-Star game at FIU on…
Conventional wisdom says that a team brings in a salty old timer coach to right the shaky ship, teach the young whippersnappers a thing or two, and claw its way back to respectability.But the Marlins have actually gotten worse since 80-year-old skipper Jack McKeon took over this summer, statistics show…
Judging by the comments around baseball, not many players are going to weep openly tomorrow when the Marlins play their last game ever at Sun Life Stadium. “There were a lot of rain delays, and no fans,” Josh Willingham recalls. “You’re talking about the worst conditions,” ex-fan fave Cody Ross…
