Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets, Sunday Dec 28th 4:15pm on CBSSomewhere on this very blog earlier in the season I quipped something about how betting against the Dolphins was a more sound investment than anything the stock market has to offer. Well, guess what? I took my advice and now I…

The Miami Dolphins have put their fans in a weird spot. On one hand this really will go down as one of the best seasons for the Fins in recent history. Not that that’s saying much. On the other, if they don’t make the playoffs it will seem all for…
Is there anything more annoying than Boston sports fans? No sir, there is not. Since 2004, their teams have won a Super Bowl, an NBA Championship, and two World Series, which I’m sure you know if you’ve talked to any Bostonian for more than five seconds. Now Bostonians are going to have…
Revolution Fight ClubDecember 19, 2008Gusman Center for the Performing ArtsBetter Than: Who knows?Forgive me, but I don’t have any photos of Friday night’s Revolution Fight Club. No, I didn’t lose my camera. And no, it didn’t break. And I wasn’t shirking my assignment, either. I don’t have a snap because…
Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs, 1pm Sunday on CBSRiptide is getting a weird sense of paramnesia about the current situation of your Miami Dolphins football team. Probably because it is eerily similar to the plight of you Miami Hurricanes just weeks ago. Remember? The Canes were in first place…
We’re not holding our breath, but if the Miami Dolphins win their next two games, not only will they get a spot in the playoffs, but also they’ll be headed for the history books. Even right now, the Fins are in sixth place for the greatest season-to-season turnaround in NFL…
It’s hard to remember now, but what seems like eons ago, the University of Miami had the best (no questions asked) football program in the nation. In fact they had more alum selected to play in the NFL Pro Bowl this season than any other school. Seven former Miami players,…

So the Pro Bowl selections were announced and your Miami Dolphins snagged two spots on the AFC team. Beloved trash talker Joey Porter will be one of the starting outside linebackers, while Ronnie Brown will serve as a reserve running back. One of the biggest snubs? Chad Pennington, who has…
The two most vicious hits in Sunday’s Dolphins-49ers defensive power struggle both came in the waning minutes of the ballgame. First, with the Niners sitting in the red zone, trying to punch in a touchdown and take their first lead of the day, a bunch of security guys absolutely destroyed some random dude in jean shorts who…
San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. on Fox.Your Miami Dolphins are involved in a hot, sexy three-way with the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, but no one can decide who’s going to be on top … of the AFC East division. The menage-a-trois may very…
You know times are tough when crazed college football fans in places like cold-ass Blacksburg, Virginia; and Cincinnati, Ohio, can’t scrounge up enough change to get to sunny Miami for a January 1 bowl game. But alas, that is the cold, hard truth of these tough economic times.More depressing recession-related news…
After Chanel debuted its “Miami Vice” shoe, which came complete with a mini pistol in place of the heel, at this summer’s Cruise collection, Miami is starting to gain a reputation for debuting controversial footwear.

This season, the Miami Hurricanes came out way behind their in-state rivals, UF and FSU, by most on-the-field standards, losing to both teams. Now here’s a little salt for those wounds: Both the Noles and the Gators made Higher Ed Watch’s Top 25 for academic achievement, while the Canes went…
Holy sugartits is this a magical time to be a Dolphins fan! They’re just displaying all kinds of dexterity in the ass-kicking department, as they did yesterday when they flew into Canada’s Rogers Centre and delivered a beatdown to the rival Buffalo Bills. The Fins defeated Buffalo 16-3 in front…

Kimbo Slice, like many stars before him, is retreating to Japan to milk out a little bit more money before his career quietly fades out. While there we imagine him shooting a commercial for some whiskey, appearing on a whackey game show, and then meeting the pretty but neglected wife…
