According to a report from MLB.com’s Marlins beat writer, the Marlins won’t be trading Giancarlo Stanton, the only good player on their sad little team, next season. They even plan to “build” around him, but that doesn’t mean they’ll shell out any more money on their already-second-to-last lowest payroll in…
The Miami Heat season not only comes with the drama of trying to threepeat but also with the added tension of the fate of the team’s big three during the following offseason. Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James all have the option to become free agents this summer, and…
During last Saturday’s game, the Miami Hurricanes’ marching band and student fans performed a UM-specific rendition of viral hit “The Fox,” entitled “What Does the Ibis Say?” And apparently I’m getting really old, because up until I saw this I literally thought this song was just a really annoying jingle…
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated unveiled their list of the best basketball players heading into the 2013-14 season. LeBron James was first, naturally. Though, Dwyane Wade’s spot at eight didn’t sit too well with the Oklahoma Thunder’s Kevin Durant, who himself took the number two spot. Durant suggested that his…
When Jeffrey Loria was seeking public funds to build Marlins Park, it came with the promise the Marlins would get better. Well, the team is only its second season at the shiny new park and they’ve hit a milestone the team has only hit once before in its 21-year history:…
The NBA season is still a month away, but already Miami is bubbling with news about our back-to-back champion ballers. Michael Beasley has returned, hopefully minus the marijuana habit. Draft pick James Ennis is already king of the koalas. And you might soon be able to buy a jersey with…
Apparently when you win two championships in a row you can hold training camp in a place that usually caters to people looking to relax and party rather than, you know, train. Yep, the Miami Heat will be holding their training camp at the fancy, almost theme park-like Atlantis Paradise…
Last names are so over. The NBA is reportedly entertaining the possibility of allowing the Miami Heat to display nicknames on the back of their jersey for at least one game against the Brooklyn Nets next season — probably because finding an excuse to offer a new limited edition LeBron…
The best thing you can say about the Miami Marlins is that they’re not technically the worst. The Houston Astros have a worse record and TV ratings, and the Tampa Bay Rays have lower attendance. So when ESPN magazine decided to rank every professional franchise in all four major North…
More often than not the loser of the annual FIU-FAU game gets crowned the worst FBS team in Florida. This year something weird and strange is happening. USF, who once touted itself as part of Florida’s “big four,” sucks in historic measures. They opened their season with a 53-21 loss…
The rumors at the beginning of the season went that unless the Dolphins managed to turn things around this year General Manager Jeff Ireland would finally find himself with a pink slip. Of course, now that the team is off to a 3-0 start those #Fireland Twitter hashtags are getting…
For much of the game yesterday, the Falcons bruised, battered and manhandled the Dolphins along the line of scrimmage, and there was the sense that this Dolphins game would end like so many others we’ve witnessed in the last decade or so: with a loud, wet fart heard for miles…
There were clear skies and good weather for the Orlando University High and Boone High football game on Friday. The band was in the middle of a chill marimba-assisted halftime show, when all the sudden the skies decided to remind everyone that this was Friday the 13th and sent a…
The Dolphins are now 2-0 for only the second time in a decade, and optimism about the team is all over the place. RYAN TANNEHILL WAS BORN FROM THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST! JOE PHILBIN FINALLY NABBED THOSE RASCALLY KIDS — WATCH OUT, WORLD! COCKCAKES = SUPER BOWL! BRIAN HARTLINE…
It’s September 19, 1983. Scarface had yet to premiere in theaters. The Heat, Marlins and Panthers didn’t even exist. The Miami Hurricanes had yet to win a national championship. LeBron James hadn’t even been born. So many icons associated with modern day Miami had yet to exist. On that night,…
Those Taiwanese animators move fast. News of the bizarre “double catfishing” involving the Miami Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Andersen only broke late yesterday afternoon, and they’ve already gone and animated the thing. The bizarre video features Andersen portrayed as Big Bird, naturally. See also: Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Andersen Victim in Bizarre…
In 2012, when current Miami Heat star Chris “Birdman” Andersen was playing for the Denver Nuggets, a Colorado Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children team seized property from Andersen’s home, which led to rampant speculation in the media. At the time, Andersen’s attorneys claimed he was the victim in the…
According to the New York Post, the sale of the Florida Panthers to a New York buyer is “imminent”. The report comes as a surprise to most, as the team has never announced it was for sale, however with losses piling up, perhaps owners received an offer they couldn’t refuse…
Last season, the Miami Dolphins had one of the most embarrassingly meager home-opener crowds in the team’s long history. This year, the Fins might actually sell out their home opener this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. As in an actual, honest-to-God sellout. Is it because the team is off to…
Sunday marks the first Miami Dolphins home game of the year, which means it’s time to dust off those tents and charcoal grills that have been laying in your garage for the past eight months. It appears the Dolphins have raised their game on the field, so it’s only fair…
On the final drive of Sunday’s victory over the Andrew Luck-led Colts, there was that creeping feeling the NFL’s newest comeback kid would do the thing Dolphins fans are so used to seeing: snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by putting a big ol’ dunce hat on the Dolphins…
Is there anything more embarrassing for a baseball player to wear than a Marlins jersey? A pink spandex tank top and bootie shorts might come close. Every year the Marlins make their rookie players dress up in some ridiculous outfit. So yesterday first year players, including Jose Fernandez, were made…
