This is a silly, stupid little post to be writing. The Heat will of course stage a magnificent comeback tonight and go on to emerge victorious in the finals, because whatever powers that rule the universe will decide to give Miami, this muggy land of hurricanes, poverty, foreclosures and zombie…
Holy fucking ass clenching horsefuckery, this team!!The Miami Heat had everything in its favor. A game at home. A 13-point lead in the second quarter. A 9-point lead in the third. The Boston Celtics stars struggling on offense. A chance to go up 3-2 and force Boston to win two…
Was I in the right place?Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals had just started, and the denizens of On The Rocks Sports Bar in Miami Beach couldn’t give a shit. Well, that’s not entirely true. The older woman seated to my right at the bar — with her baby…
A good chunk of the sports media and NBA fandom relishes holding up LeBron James as the biggest sports villain that ever did live, so much so that every little flaw is blown up out of proportion and presented as proof that he falls somewhere on the evil spectrum between…
A masseuse died at Chris Bosh’s Miami Beach home on Sunday morning, according to Local 10. The cause of death has not yet been released, but according to a Miami Beach Police report, that woman had battled cancer less than a year before…
As if Carly Rae Jepsen’s perfect little pop tune “Call Me Maybe” wasn’t already set to become the song of the summer, the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders have come along to help bounce it in that direction. Yeah, there’s certainly a lot of bouncing going on in this video.While on location…
Hialeah Gardens’ Mater Academy senior Albert Almora has one hell of a choice on his hands this morning — whether to become a star playing college baseball for his hometown Canes, or whether to take an estimated $3.25 million bonus to join the Chicago Cubs system.Almora tells the Miami Herald…
Chris Bosh is coming back for Game 5 of the Heat-Celtics series, according to ESPN. We haven’t been this excited about anything Bosh-related since he first signed with the Heat, because good basketball lord the Heat seriously need something to get them over the hump and finish off this series…
The Miami Heat went into Boston over the weekend and promptly took a giant shit all over their season, as they allowed the Undead Celtics to fight their way back into the Eastern Conference Finals and knot things up at two games apiece. Games 3 and 4 were near mirror…
We might have been a bit grossed out by the amount of borderline-pervy attention Lauren Tannehill, the wife of Dolphins’ first-round pick Ryan Tannehill, received after draft day, but apparently she wasn’t. She may or may not have already shot a photo spread for Maxim. However, as far as Maxim…
Do you think Boston fans are blaming Wednesday’s Celtics loss on the weak play of team’s veteran core? No, of course not. They’re blaming it on the refs. That’s just what Boston Celtics fans do. They may have a long list of rivalries with other actual teams, but everyone knows…
The Miami Marlins started the season with the most expensive tickets in the league. Granted, that was for their opening day game against the defending world champs in their brand new stadium, but according to a site that aggregates secondary market tickets prices, the Marlins now have the least in…
The Miami Heat aren’t going to make this easy. Assholes. The Heat overcame a sluggish start, a dickload of missed free throws, a motivated undead Celtics team, and an All-World epic playoff performance from Rajon Rondo to get their 115-111 overtime win over Boston and take a 2-0 lead in these Eastern…
The Miami Marlins are only the third favorite baseball team of Floridians according to a new Quinnipiac poll. Which is quite odd once you remember Florida is only home to two major league baseball teams. In fact, Florida’s favorite team doesn’t even play in Florida. Yes, the New York Yankees…
What does a celebrity do when they need a quick jolt of publicity to revive a fading career? Reality TV, of course. What does a sports team desperately in need of some public goodwill and attention do when they’re being overshadowed in their own city? Apparently, the exact same thing.The…
Miami-Dade County already coughed up $376 million to help build the new Marlins Park, but now the County government and Marlins brass are in a fight over about $1.7 million in non-construction costs related to the project. The Marlins actually tried to charge the county for a nearly $11,000 bill…
The Miami Heat are three wins away from their second consecutive trip to the NBA Finals after taking down the Boston Celtics 93-79 last night.And while the rest of the world seethes in furious anger in their unbridled and irrational hatred at this news, perhaps even blaming LeBron James for…
Despite reports the University of Miami had reached out to the Big 12 conference to gauge interest in a possible move in case several ACC members leave for more Midwestern pastures, athletic director Shawn Eichorst has broken his silence on the matter. He laims the U is “committed to the ACC.”…
Last night’s sloppy game between the San Francisco Giants and the Miami Marlins saw pitching so bad the score ended up in NFL territory. Naturally, the Marlins ended up as the sloppiest team on the field and lost the game 14-7. They also almost lost Logan Morrison’s pretty little face…
Remember when Dwyane Wade crapped the bed last week and we all wrote him off, like a bunch of assholes? Pffft.Wade dropped 41 points in Miami’s 105-93 beatdown of the Indiana Pacers. MV3 scored 20 of his 41 in the second quarter, going 8-for-11 from the floor, and leading the…
Supremely bizarre baseball slugger– and South Florida resident– Manny Ramirez has had a long road back to the game. He abruptly retired from the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011 after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. He was arrested for allegedly battering his wife in their Weston home. Then he decided…
Who knows what goes through a basketball player’s mind when he spends the vast majority of the time sitting on the bench during such a heated and important playoff series. Perhaps the Miami Heat’s Dexter Pittman thought to himself, “Man, the whole world is watching this series, and ain’t no…
