Cleveland-raised Esquire scribe Scott Raab’s LeBron James-bashing book, The Whore of Akron– which at one point wishes a career-ending injury upon the basketball superstar– got the author’s media credentials revoked from Miami Heat home games.

Dhafir Harris, AKA Dada 5000, king of back-yard fights, has plenty to be thankful for. Three years ago, the Perrine native decided being a member of Kimbo Slice’s entourage wasn’t for him, so he set out to become the P.T. Barnum of Miami’s back-yard fighting circuit. We chronicled the early…
The Heat’s LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are about to embark on a “homecoming tour” of charity games with several other NBA stars.

For a team that has had one of the lowest payrolls in the past few years and claimed they could only spend $155 million to build their own stadium, the Miami Marlins certainly seem to have a lot of money to be throwing around all of the sudden. After reports…
Most Dolphin fans are still in “Suck for Luck” mode, but with two straight wins under their belt, some members of the team apparently still have playoff hopes alive. Which isn’t exactly impossible, just largely improbable. Then again, with a 2-7 record they are only 5 games behind the leaders…
One conspicuous absence from the Miami Marlin’s big celebration on Friday to officially unveil their new name, logo, uniforms, color scheme and stadium: Billy the Marlin.
