You, yes you Miami-Dade and City of Miami tax payer, paid for the majority of the cost for the Marlins’ under construction stadium. So perhaps you’d like to check in on how the thing is coming along. Surprisingly the project seems to be coming along on schedule, and while we’re still not sure…
It’s pretty fun watching South Florida’s daily newspapers try to describe the “crotch-related gesture” that got Miami Heat guard Eddie House fined this week. Or, more specifically, not try– because the Herald can’t get away with saying “testicles” unless it’s a cancer-related story, and even El Nuevo Herald apparently can’t…
With only six weeks to recruit and a limited number of scholarships to dole out head coach Al Golden has done a solid, though not spectacular, job at putting together his first recruiting class. The group is led by two five-star (as rated by Scout.com, anyway) defensive ends: Anthony Chickillo…
Former UF coach Urban Meyer and former UM coach Randy Shannon saw their careers as heads of two of Florida’s big three college football teams come to an end after this season for very different reasons, but they both appear to be headed to the same place: ESPN of course…
The NBA doesn’t want you to think about their players’ crotches. As far as they are concerned their players don’t even have crotches, and any player caught in any way pointing to their crotch apparently gets fined $25,000. That’s what happened to the Heat’s Eddie House for his “obscene” “crotch-related…
During his seven year career with the Miami Dolphins in the ’80s tight end Dan Johnson became known as the King of Pain for being able to bounce back from numerous injuries and broken bones, but following two back surgeries he became the King of Pain Pills. Unfortunately, Johnson’s addiction…
Dwyane Wade’s magic goggles seemed to run out of awesome juice in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s 93-88 loss to the New York Knicks.Because after Wade started the game hitting pretty much every shot he threw up (except his free throws… hit those goddamn free throws, D-Wade!!), he missed…
During the last week of June something kind of sucky and boring we don’t care about at all will happen in Sun Life Stadium, which tends to happen a lot in the Stadium during baseball season. Except this time it’s because U2 is playing, forcing the Marlins to play “home”…
After the disastrous Sun Bowl against Notre Dame, many ‘Canes fans thought that Jacory Harris’ days as the starting quarterback were done. Not necessarily, says new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch. He wants Harris to know that along with Stephen Morris, he’s still very much in the running for the position,…
The Miami Heat may be the most talked about NBA team this season, but they aren’t the most valuable. However, the signing of LeBron James and Chris Bosh saw the team’s value increase by 17 percent since last year, according to Forbes.com. That’s the biggest increase in value over one…
Earlier this month, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber spoke to a group of supporters hoping to bring the league back to Miami and basically said, “You’re a nice city and all, but we’re not even going to think about giving you another team unless you start acting like you…
Apparently, LeBron James sometimes forgets he’s part of the Miami Heat’s big three and acts like a member of another famous trio: Larry, Curly, and Moe. Dwyane Wade is dealing with serious migraine headaches and has been wearing special, slightly funny-looking glasses to deal with light sensitivity during practice, and…
According to his agents, 18-year-old Cuban baseball prodigy Yasiel Balaguer will have his second tryout with a Major League Team this week when scouts for the Seattle Mariners watch the right-handed pelotero in action here in Miami.”I was on the Cuban youth national team, but I realized that once I…
Despite holding no verbal punches while ripping apart coach Tony Sparano and his former teammates last month, Ricky Williams won’t rule out a return to the Miami Dolphins next season. The 33-year-old running back may be near the twilight of his interesting (to say the least) career, but he appeared…
Listen, we can admit that LeBron James has something of a bit of a public relations and ego problem, but all the guy ever did was switch teams. To claim he’s the most deplorable athlete in America is sort of a stretch considering there’s guys like Tiger Woods and Brett…
There’s something special going on this season with the Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team, but the squad experienced its first setback since their second game by falling to FSU last night 66-59. The loss ends Miami’s 17-game winning streak, which tied Duke’s longest winning streak in the nation…
Known for his creative Pistol Pete Maravich playing style, shaggy haired Spanish phenom Ricky Rubio was the youngest player to play for the Spanish ACB League when he debuted at the age of 14. Then in June of 2009, when Rubio was 19, he declared himself eligible for the NBA…
Former Miami Hurricanes head coach Randy Shannon has never been associated with another college team. He played at UM, became a graduate assistant, and gradually worked his way up the coaching ladder to get to the top. No one questioned whether Shannon bled orange and green, but according to some…
The future of the Miami Hurricane’s quarterback position seems to be with Stephen Morris, but Al Golden and his staff are apparently interested in landing former Rutgers quarterback Tom Savage. He was rated by one recruiting service at the 8th best QB in the 2009 class, and the ‘Canes tried…
Dwayne Wade was forced to sit out thanks to a migraine, while Chris Bosh sat out his second-straight game with a bum left ankle. And so LeBron James was left to the mercy of having to rely on Mario Chalmers and Carlos Arroyo for support if the Miami Heat was…
With a 2-2 record, the Lingerie Football League’s Miami Caliente weren’t only technically the most successful pro football team in South Florida this year, they also were the sexiest. Of course, that’s half the point of the Lingerie Football League, and it was only really a mater of time before…
It wasn’t that long ago when you could spot Lil Wayne sitting front row at AAA rooting on Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat (one instance of which was immortalized in cake format), but apparently Wayne is a Heat fan no more. No, he’s not pissed about “The Decision” like…
