Sunday’s news should have been glorious for LeBron James. Not only did he win the MVP award, but also he became the youngest player to rack up a fourth most-valuable honor. Instead, everyone focused on what LeBron didn’t do: namely, nab the first unanimous MVP. The numbers released yesterday showed…
Was there really any doubt? ESPN reports that league sources confirm Miami Heat superstar LeBron James will officially be awarded his fourth MVP title this Sunday. It’s the King’s second MVP crown in a row, and his fourth in five years…
Last time we checked, neither Belen Jesuit nor St. Thomas Aquinas sponsored WWE-style staged wrestling as a high school sport, so we really weren’t expecting to see video go viral of their students getting into a Speedo-clad brawl.Then again, apparently we underestimated how vicious a sport water polo can be…
I love Twitter a lot — like 83,000-tweets-and-counting a lot. So I didn’t troll everyone yesterday with fake news about Tim Tebow joining the Dolphins because I was mad. I did it because it would be funny, and also because it’s fascinating how information goes viral — particularly in the…
The women came in high heels and skin-tight dresses. The men wore expensive suits with glittering cufflinks. And the lamb chops were encrusted with pistachio. It was, in other words, a sumptuous show befitting the La Liga — or “the greatest soccer league in the universe,” as a video confidently…
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the biggest soccer stars in the world, so we doubt he has informed opinions on local tax and political issues in Miami-Dade. That’s not going to stop him from appearing all over your TV screen for the next few weeks trying to get you to…
All it took was for super-agent Drew Rosenhaus to go on WQAM yesterday and say he “wouldn’t be shocked” if the Dolphins signed Tim Tebow because Stephen Ross is a “fan” to start the latest Tebowmania rumor. This despite the fact the Dolphins don’t particularly need another quarterback, let alone a bad…
How did your last birthday go? Pretty great? Had some drinks with your friends, got some gift cards from the parents, skipped out on work? Yeah, A.J. Francis has you beat times 10,000. Last Saturday was his birthday. It was also the day he signed a pro contract with the…
Jason Collins mentioned his former teammate and current Miami Heat player Mike Miller yesterday in his big coming-out story in Sports Illustrated by hoping that Miller might react to the news by talking about how he enjoyed being his teammate and remembering fondly the time he sold him a dog…
Hey, Miami-Dade voters: Looks like you’ll have a chance after all to decide whether the Dolphins — and their billionaire owner, Stephen Ross — deserve tax dollars to help renovate Sun Life Stadium. With bills to approve a hike in bed taxes stalled in Tallahassee, the NFL flew out its…
Earlier today, NBA player Jason Collins made history as the first active athlete in a major American sports league to come out as a gay. Just hours later, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace was just the latest athlete to come out as an idiot…
What the hell exactly is a wrong with Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross? This is a guy who saw the public outrage over the Marlins stadium debacle, and almost immediately begins his own ill-timed campaign to seek public funds for a stadium upgrade. He’s also apparently a guy who can’t understand…
The Miami Heat minus an injured Dwyane Wade closed out the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday afternoon with an 88-77 victory, sweeping the best-of-seven series four games to none. As was a theme in this series, the Bucks lulled the Miami Heat to sleep for three quarters, hanging around until the Heat…
The Miami Heat overcame a dismal first half Thursday night to defeat Milwaukee 104-91 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in this best of four series. Ray Allen came off the bench to score 23 points, hitting five of eight threes, while LeBron James finished with 22 points, six assists,…
Miami Hurricanes linebacker Gabe Terry was found with less than an ounce of marijuana and his time with the team is over because of it. The school announced today that he’s been kicked off the team in the wake of his felony arrest…
With the NFL’s annual tradition of wealthy, white-haired men selecting young, able-bodied (mostly) black men to perform physical endeavors for comparatively negligible pay aimed at aggrandizing the wealthy men’s financial station, we’re taking a look at who the Dolphins SHOULD pick — and how they’ll inevitably fuck that up –…
Don’t expect @KingJames to be updated any time soon, and on the off chance you happen to have LeBron James cell phone number, don’t expect him to text back. It’s not personal. It’s just a part of his game.In order to fully concentrate on the playoffs, James has gone off…
The Heat survived an off night from LeBron and a sluggish first half to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 98-86 Tuesday night, taking a 2-0 lead in this best of seven first round matchup. Dwyane Wade led all Heat scorers with 21 points, and looked like the 2006 version of himself…
The new Miami Dolphins uniforms weren’t supposed to be unveiled until Thursday, but it looks like they’ve hit the web a little earlier than scheduled. The only part of the new unis we’d seen till now had been a bit of white face mask…
Recently, the Miami Heat’s Shane Battier admitted that his only pregame superstition is sticking to drinking the same beer.”I try to drink the same beer — Bud Light — but that’s about it,” Battier told an NBA.com blog. “You never know. I don’t want to chance luck and switch up…
Operation Defend the Throne got off to a businesslike start Sunday night as the Miami Heat kicked off the playoffs with a 110-87 game one victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat never trailed, with LeBron James leading the way with 27 points, ten rebounds, and eight assists in 35…
If you’re anything like me, you already have butterflies. The Miami Heat are ready to defend the throne, in what should be another fantastic few weeks of some of the best sports entertainment this town has ever witnessed. The Miami Heat enter the NBA Playoffs as the clear-cut favorite to…
