Maybe Chad Pennington is really, really happy he’s once again the Dolphins starting quarterback. Maybe he just really, really loves Eminem. Whatever the reason, Pennington went absolutely bonkers this morning on the Dolphins training field when someone piped in Em’s “Lose Yourself” and it was all caught on tape. In…
For a while it seemed that the Miami Dolphins had a good shot at being the third team this season to claim the talents of Randy Moss. Then, decision day came around and the ‘Fins didn’t even put in a claim for the controversial, but talented receiver. They could have had…
Americans residing north of Palm Beach County have targeted their wrath at LeBron James, a basketball player and creator of the world’s worst television special. In this semi-regular installment, we figure out why American hates LeBron this week, so you don’t have to…
“It’s reality now. The chemistry isn’t at the level of these good teams.” So said LeBron James following the Heat’s 112-107 loss the Boston Celtics Thursday night at the American Airlines Arena. The Heat have now dropped 13 of the last 14 regular season meetings to the Celtics, have fallen to…
The Miami Heat host the Boston Celtics tonight at the American Airlines Arena. But did you know Miami is 5-3 eight games into the 2010-11 NBA season? They are! And because they’ve turned into The Most Irrationally Reviled Team In The Universe, sports writers, commentators and fans alike have all…
In the thrilling conclusion to South Park’s recent three-part super hero themed saga (in which we finally get some incite into why it is Kenny can die every episode but come back alive like nothing happened the next) Cartman once again lampoons LeBron James’ now infamous Nike commercial in which…
See this cover of the latest Sports Illustrated Kids? It features an illustration LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade dressed up as musketeers complete with puffy shirts and be-feathered hats. It’s for the kids, so we won’t rage too hard on it, but I think we can safely call…
First Miami Sports News was all about the Heat’s Chris Bosh being traded. Then, Miami Sports News was all about the Dolphins’ Chad Henne being benched in favor of Chad Pennington. You so crazy, Miami Sports News! Oh… wait… this just in…. one of these things is actually happening…
There’s only a few weeks left in 2010, which means it’s almost time for Time magazine to unveil their famed “Person of the Year.” Now, just because Time named “you” person of the year in the 2006 it doesn’t mean “you” get a say in the actual choice. That’s for…
OK, “hate” probably doesn’t encapsulate the recent rash of ink being turned out about the third wheel of the Miami Heat troika. “Disappointed,” maybe. “Underwhelmed,” possibly. “Concerned,” perhaps. Whatever the word, poor Chris Bosh isn’t exactly settling in as expected in his new hot home, and sports commenters are chiding the…
Tim Tebow’s best days in football are probably behind him, so of course it makes sense he’s already writing his memoir. Harper Collins announced that Tebow’s book Through My Eyes will be released in April of 2011. The book will of course detail his time with the Florida Gators, but…
For reasons that probably make more sense than they should LeBron James’ favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. He’s a diehard, apparently. Thing is the Cowboys suck something fierce this season, to the point that they just fired their coach. In fact, James can’t even watch them anymore. He…
Despite giving up over 400 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, along with throwing three interceptions, scoring only one touchdown, and not forcing Baltimore to punt all game long, the most important news item for the Dolphins remains that Channing Crowder got spit on in the face by Ravens…
For a state that has had three teams combine to win a full third of the national championships awarded in the past 30 years, the college football teams of Florida are having a weird, wild and ultimately all-around disappointing year. Well, every team but the UCF Knights that is. According to the…
The Miami Dolphins lost their first road game of the season Sunday, falling 26-10 to the Baltimore Ravens, a team that is exactly like the Dolphins in every way except without all the interceptions and missed tackles and special teams blunders and dropped passes. The Dolphins are now 4-4 on…
Yes, we know it’s a week after Halloween. But as a Miami blog with a taste for the ridiculous we just couldn’t sleep with ourselves if we didn’t post the following video of Shaq channeling Beyonce in his “Shaquita” Halloween get-up — which, by the way, is worlds funkier than…
Well, no, he didn’t… we think. But the Miami Dolphins linebacker did somehow confuse the diary-writing Holocaust victim with deaf and blind author Helen Keller, which is a front-runner for this month’s Most Ignorant Comment By an Athlete Award…
LeBron James’ latest Nike ad continues to be parodied, and this latest version featuring the pissed off citizens of Cleveland is some serious shit. The bitterness and pure unadulterated hate emanating from these people is, honestly, quite scary. Mixed in with footage from the original commercial is clips of various…
Oh how it must eat away at Isiah Thomas every day that he’s sitting in his FIU offices coaching a Sun Belt team, while just a few miles away the Miami Heat have become the most talked about team in the NBA. In a chat with ESPN New York, Thomas…
From denying us an interview with Banana Man, to issuing an all-expenses-paid invitation to The Guy Who Wore a Heat LeBron Jersey to a Cleveland Indians Game, to rescinding said invitation, is anybody else getting the feeling that the Miami Heat’s PR office is a very bizarre place?…
We are a sickly lot here at the New Times. Our desks are covered with asthma inhalers and antibacterial gel. We are still wearing surgical masks 16 months after swine flu ended. Hell, we even have to bathe in SPF 90 sunscreen every morning lest we burst into flames walking…
So remember Matthew Bellamy? He was the brave man who got booed and escorted out of a Cleveland Indians home game by police simply because he dared to wear LeBron James’ Miami Heat jersey. Yeah, we never thought we’d ever hear about him again. Well, according to an unconfirmed report…
