Last Friday, touted quarterback Jacoby Brissett made a somewhat head scratching decision to sign with the Florida Gators over the Miami Hurricanes, and his mother is not happy about it. Both schools have new coaches, but apparently Al Golden has his mother-wooing game on lock, while Will Muschamp needs to…
Miami isn’t in the Super Bowl, and the Super Bowl isn’t in Miami. So it’s hard for us to get overly excited about the game. Last year we played host, and thanks to a certain amount of cultural affinity, a feel good story, and a strong presence of former Hurricanes…
Al Golden was hoping for one more coveted player to really make his inaugural recruiting class shine, but it appears that four star quarterback Jacoby Brissett of Palm Beach Gardens’ Dwyer High will announce his intentions to play for the Gators instead this year. Brissett was one of those kids who wanted…
LeBron James’ probably won’t be staring in any Cleveland tourism commercials anytime soon, but it doesn’t seem that his controversial move to Miami has impacted his commercial value any. James has been shilling for State Farm insurance since 2008, and his latest ad with the company has him dancing for…
With the addition of Chris Bosh to the Eastern Conference’s reserve roster your Miami Heat big three are all officially all stars. Yeah, the Boston Celtics have more All Star players (four on the reserve roster), the Heat have the most in the starting line-up. Of course with two teams…
There is one universal truth that Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith must come to realize. And that is, don’t make LeBron James angry. Otis Smith wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. During the off-season, Smith smugly questioned LeBron’s competitiveness after King James decided to sign with Miami. And clearly,…
You, yes you Miami-Dade and City of Miami tax payer, paid for the majority of the cost for the Marlins’ under construction stadium. So perhaps you’d like to check in on how the thing is coming along. Surprisingly the project seems to be coming along on schedule, and while we’re still not sure…
It’s pretty fun watching South Florida’s daily newspapers try to describe the “crotch-related gesture” that got Miami Heat guard Eddie House fined this week. Or, more specifically, not try– because the Herald can’t get away with saying “testicles” unless it’s a cancer-related story, and even El Nuevo Herald apparently can’t…
With only six weeks to recruit and a limited number of scholarships to dole out head coach Al Golden has done a solid, though not spectacular, job at putting together his first recruiting class. The group is led by two five-star (as rated by Scout.com, anyway) defensive ends: Anthony Chickillo…
Former UF coach Urban Meyer and former UM coach Randy Shannon saw their careers as heads of two of Florida’s big three college football teams come to an end after this season for very different reasons, but they both appear to be headed to the same place: ESPN of course…
The NBA doesn’t want you to think about their players’ crotches. As far as they are concerned their players don’t even have crotches, and any player caught in any way pointing to their crotch apparently gets fined $25,000. That’s what happened to the Heat’s Eddie House for his “obscene” “crotch-related…
During his seven year career with the Miami Dolphins in the ’80s tight end Dan Johnson became known as the King of Pain for being able to bounce back from numerous injuries and broken bones, but following two back surgeries he became the King of Pain Pills. Unfortunately, Johnson’s addiction…
Dwyane Wade’s magic goggles seemed to run out of awesome juice in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s 93-88 loss to the New York Knicks.Because after Wade started the game hitting pretty much every shot he threw up (except his free throws… hit those goddamn free throws, D-Wade!!), he missed…
During the last week of June something kind of sucky and boring we don’t care about at all will happen in Sun Life Stadium, which tends to happen a lot in the Stadium during baseball season. Except this time it’s because U2 is playing, forcing the Marlins to play “home”…
After the disastrous Sun Bowl against Notre Dame, many ‘Canes fans thought that Jacory Harris’ days as the starting quarterback were done. Not necessarily, says new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch. He wants Harris to know that along with Stephen Morris, he’s still very much in the running for the position,…
The Miami Heat may be the most talked about NBA team this season, but they aren’t the most valuable. However, the signing of LeBron James and Chris Bosh saw the team’s value increase by 17 percent since last year, according to Forbes.com. That’s the biggest increase in value over one…
Earlier this month, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber spoke to a group of supporters hoping to bring the league back to Miami and basically said, “You’re a nice city and all, but we’re not even going to think about giving you another team unless you start acting like you…
Apparently, LeBron James sometimes forgets he’s part of the Miami Heat’s big three and acts like a member of another famous trio: Larry, Curly, and Moe. Dwyane Wade is dealing with serious migraine headaches and has been wearing special, slightly funny-looking glasses to deal with light sensitivity during practice, and…
According to his agents, 18-year-old Cuban baseball prodigy Yasiel Balaguer will have his second tryout with a Major League Team this week when scouts for the Seattle Mariners watch the right-handed pelotero in action here in Miami.”I was on the Cuban youth national team, but I realized that once I…
Despite holding no verbal punches while ripping apart coach Tony Sparano and his former teammates last month, Ricky Williams won’t rule out a return to the Miami Dolphins next season. The 33-year-old running back may be near the twilight of his interesting (to say the least) career, but he appeared…
Listen, we can admit that LeBron James has something of a bit of a public relations and ego problem, but all the guy ever did was switch teams. To claim he’s the most deplorable athlete in America is sort of a stretch considering there’s guys like Tiger Woods and Brett…
There’s something special going on this season with the Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team, but the squad experienced its first setback since their second game by falling to FSU last night 66-59. The loss ends Miami’s 17-game winning streak, which tied Duke’s longest winning streak in the nation…
