The Miami Heat’s 107-96 loss to the Indiana Pacers Sunday was about as enjoyable to consume as a poop-filled Chipotle burrito, but then again, people frickin’ love Chipotle no matter what, so maybe that’s a bad analogy.

The agreement will also keep the…

Oyyyy, dem Mahleens! It is becoming inevitable that Jose Fernandez will have to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, ending what was sure to be a CY Young caliber sophomore season, and likely causing him to miss a good portion of next year. Apparently Marlins fans just can’t…
Over the weekend, the Miami Dolphins swiftly fined and temporarily suspended defensive back Donald Jones after he tweeted that seeing Michael Sam kiss his boyfriend was “horrible.” If we’re being cynical, it was basically a giant corporation that wants nothing more than to avoid off-the-field controversy administering what amounts to…
