LeBron James cordially invites you to a huge helping of his clutch gene, located on his gigantic clutch manliness. Staring down the barrel of a heartbreaking game one overtime loss, LeBron James drove to the hole with 2.2 seconds left and hit the game-winning layup to propel your Miami Heat…
Marlins Park is already home to one troubled sports organization, so why not another? The American Athletic Association, more popular known as the sad, tattered remains of the football schools in the former Big East, is considering putting together its own college bowl game and is eyeing Marlins Park as…
A year ago the Indiana Pacers gave the Miami Heat quite the scare. The Heat found themselves down 2-1 and without Chris Bosh, who left with an abdomen injury early in game 1, in addition to a banged up Dwyane Wade — things looked bleak. The Heat would go on…
This had been pretty much all but guaranteed after the Dolphin’s aggressive plans to secure public money to renovate Sun Life Stadium fell through, but now it’s official. Miami has lost both its bid to host the historic 50th anniversary Super Bowl and the follow up, Super Bowl LI. They’ll…
Dwyane Wade’s ongoing custody battle has been one of the most glum personal stories in the NBA, and one that has largely been played in public through court records. Wade however recently opened up about his failed marriage to ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade in Jet magazine, and admits he was “probably…
It’s bittersweet for Miami Hurricanes fans that Shane Larking, only a sophomore, is making the jump to the NBA, but apparently the dude is good at jumping. Like, really, really good at jumping. He posted the second highest vertical leap ever recorded during the NBA combine today, and the highest…
Big offense early and tough defense late helped the Heat close out the Bulls 94-91 Wednesday night to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. LeBron finished with 23 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, leading the Heat who will face the winner of the Knicks-Pacers series that Indiana currently leads…
Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade is no stranger to fashion provocation, but gauging by the reaction from his stroll into Chicago’s United Center last night in a tailored Gucci suit that featured ankle-flashing capri pants, you would have assumed he’d shown up in a rainbow Speedo and glittery suspenders. From…
First, the Miami Marlins duped their way to a deal that will eventually cost taxpayers $1 billion for a new ballpark. That’s panned out about as well as early stock investments in Hindenberg, Inc. Then the Dolphins tried their hand with a campaign to get more than $200 million for…
You make the Miami Heat angry, you deal with the repercussions. The Miami Heat came to Chicago looking to take back home court advantage, and now they’re leaving with a sweep of the two games and a chance to finish the series back in Miami on Wednesday. Miami easily handled…
The Miami Marlins can’t seem to win much of anything lately. Not even an omelet-eating contest. While the team was in San Diego last week, reliever A.J. Ramos walked into the Broken Yoke Café and decided to try the restaurant’s “Iron Man Challenge.” Contestants are tasked with eating a meal…
Forget the pressure on the actual athletes. The most stressed person at any baseball game must be the person picked to throw that ceremonial first pitch. It’s not an opportunity one gets all that often in a lifetime, and botching it is the kind of thing that could haunt you…
Just a day after Miami Dolphins CEO Mike Dee casually quipped that the team was “open” to moving to Palm Beach, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stressed that the league wants the team to stay put in the only home it’s ever known, Miami-Dade County. Goodell also stated that the league…
The last time Yathomas Riley stepped through a crowd and into a boxing ring was more than three years ago. The blows he received that day at a Connecticut casino seemed real; the bruises too painful to doubt. But they were child’s play compared to the hit he would take…
Dolphins CEO Mike Dee told reporters today that he’s “open” to the idea of moving the team to Palm Beach County. Which seems ridiculous on so many levels, but threatening to move the team when you’re looking for a public handout is the oldest trick in the book. So it’s…
Turns out Filomena Tobias, the woman captured in that now-iconic photo flipping off Joakim Noah during last night’s Heat-Bulls game, might be the most bizarrely interesting woman in the world. How bizarrely interesting? Well, this is the nut graph from a 2008 New York magazine story about the death of…
Middle-finger lady: Riptide salutes you, for you are truly the soul of Miami embodied. Your patterned silk shirt: Glorious. Your tan: Immaculate. Your leather purse, gold jewelry and white pants: Perhaps wrong for a basketball contest, but oh so right. And your look of pure glee as you shove your…
Back up in your ass with the resurrection, Chicago. The Miami Heat got some sweet revenge Wednesday night beating the Bulls 115-78 — their worst ever playoff defeat, and at the same time the Heat’s all-time biggest playoff win — so that went well. Miami shot 50 percent from three…
People were left scratching their heads wondering why a man worth more than $4.4 billion was asking tax payers for more than $200 million to renovate his football team’s stadium. But it appears that Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross isn’t a total tightwad. He’s now pledged to give away at…
Remember when the Marlins used to cover the whole upper deck at Sun Life Stadium with a big blue tarp so the game looked a little more full even though only a few thousand people showed up? That was one of the main reasons the team pushed for a much…
The Miami Marlins have recently shocked the sports world by going on a breathtaking run in which the team has not completely sucked. A team that started of the season with just five wins in their first 24 games suddenly can now be described with such high praise as “competent,”…
Welcome to the 2013 NBA Playoffs, Miami Heat. Oh by the way, you just lost home court advantage. The Chicago Bulls came into Miami last night and shocked the Heat 93-86, taking Game 1 and at the same time putting the Heat on notice that this series will be anything…
