Just when you think the Miami Dolphins have embarrassed themselves in every possible fashion, they invent new and peculiar ways to make you face-palm. Following a late touchdown and subsequent two-point conversion to cut the Broncos’ lead to 39-36, Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis lined up for an onside kick. Just…
We’ve been so busy feeling the schadenfreude of A-Rod, that we’ve almost forgotten to be embarrassed lately about the original hulking Miami-born baseball slugger: Jose Canseco. In October Canseco accidentally blasted his own finger off while cleaning a gun in his kitchen. That appears to be true, but a few…
The Miami Marlins and their deep pockets are the story of the sports world this week, just as we all predicted. On Monday, the Marlins formally announced they’d given All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton a 13-year, $325 million deal. It’s the single most lucrative deal ever given to an an American…

The Miami Dolphins enduring popularity in England remains one of life’s great mysteries. Maybe Dan Marino is one of the few NFL players they can name. Maybe they really like our colors. Maybe Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a huge cult favorite over there. Whatever the case, the Dolphins win…
On a beautiful Tuesday evening in North Miami-Dade at the Ives Estates Tennis Center, just off Ives Dairy Road, four men bat a ball around a wire and glass box about the size of a large backyard swimming pool. Using 18-inch paddles that look from afar like mini-tennis rackets, they…
