Listen, if you’ve been stashing singles every day since the beginning of the regular season for some big playoff bet, it wouldn’t be entirely ill advised to go against your hometeam Miami Heat instincts and take the Boston Celtics to win in the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs…
The Dolphins have traded with the Broncos to bring in wide receiver Brandon Marshall. He’s been a Pro Bowl selection for the past two years and holds an NFL record for most receptions in a single game. The former UCF star has some off-the-field issues; let’s hope playing in Miami…
With a lot of luck and a bit of tenacity the Jets made it deep into the playoffs last year, and they are stocking up on talent this off-season like it’s an arms race. They’ve already secured Santonio Holmes and LaDainian Tomlinson, and are of course going after Jason Taylor…
Who says Marlins fans aren’t passionate? An epic brawl erupted at Saturday’s Marlins-Dodgers game at Sun Life Stadium. According to the amateur videographer behind this moving footage, “a group of young drunk guys throw peanuts to another group of young drunk dudes. Some yelling ensues before the fists start flying.”…
Other than Twitpics of Dorell Wright’s dong, it’s the worst thing a Miami Heat fan can ever see: Dwayne Wade, grimacing in pain with team doctors checking his wrist. It happened last night after the first half of Miami’s 111-98 win over the New York Knicks. But with playoff seedings…
We laid out the scenario for how the Heat could move up in the playoff rankings, and everything seems to be going as planned. The team is now tied with Bucs for the fifth spot, after beating the Knicks 111-98. Nice way to rebound from Friday’s home loss to the…
The media has been pretty quiet on this, but apparently famous golfer Tiger Woods got caught having crazy sexy time encounters with more than a dozen women who weren’t his wife. He’s back playing golf now, though, and his main sponsor, Nike, has stuck by him. Yesterday they premiered some…
Before this ordeal, we had no idea how serious thumb surgery can be. Canes QB Jacory Harris went in for surgery on his opposing digits shortly after last season and still isn’t able to throw a ball. However coach Randy Shannon says he should be doing what it is QBs…
The Miami Heat squeezed past an awful Philadelphia 76ers team last night in a win that can only be described as “Eleanor Rooseveltian.” But as unsightly as it may have been, a win is a win. Last night’s 99-95 victory was Miami’s ninth in a row. That makes nine straight…
Everyone is either still scratching their heads or wringing their hands over Jason Taylor’s meeting with the New York Jets — the same team he hates, like any good Dolphin, so very, very much. The New York Post thinks that it could just be a ploy to get a better…
[jump] The Marlins ended up winning in extra innings, no thanks to Núñez, or most every other member of a bullpen that did its best impression of a seven-layer burrito — you know, just inviting runs. Núñez blew over a fifth of his save chances last year. If given the…
Jason Taylor, we’re not sure if Sparano and Parcells share in it, but the city of Miami loves you. We understand Big Tuna and Lil Tony don’t seem pumped on the idea of bringing you back for another season with the Dolphins, but why you got to play with our…
Remember Dwyane Wade’s baron nemesis Richard von Houtman? You know, Wade’s incessantly inflammatory former business partner with a sketchy past, sued by the Miami Heat superstar last May after he claimed in an e-mail to Heat coach and president Pat Riley that Wade was using cocaine and steroids? Well, he’s…
In the past 50 years, there have been only three private universities with football teams that matter: Notre Dame, USC, and, of course, Miami. Notre Dame has a rabid fan base and lots of history, USC has history too and benefits from the NFL’s absence in L.A., and Miami pulled itself out…
How strong is God’s Power? Tough enough to take down both Hitler and Stalin? Tenacious enough to defeat the villainous X’Zavier Bloodsaw? Brave enough to destroy Dr. Speedy Nutz? America will soon find out. Miami may not have any college basketball teams in March Madness, but it does have a powerhouse…
That NBA legend and former NBA head coach Isiah Thomas found himself in the head coach’s office of Florida International University has always seemed so, well, randomly weird. So it’s inevitable that rumors pop up every once in a while that he wants to leave.The Chicago Tribune reports Thomas is…
Andy Roddick is still America’s best hope for men’s tennis glory, but he hasn’t won a Grand Slam since 2003 and hasn’t won the Sony Ericsson Open since 2004. After a few disappointing years, he seems to be back to form and recently staged a comeback against Rafael Nadal to…
Dwyane Wade’s divorce continues to get uglier, with both sides talking to the press. His estranged wife, ol’ what’s her name — VinceVaughn Wade? SeaQuest Wade? Oh, Siohvaughn Wade — had her attorneys fire back at Dwyane’s charges that she’s an unfit parent with a penchant for wacky religion and…

The Miami Dolphins announced last night that Sun Life Stadium has a new name after a sponsorship deal was sealed with the Southeastern Division of Proctor & Gamble.

Dwyane Wade’s divorce from his estranged wife Siohvaughn continues to get nastier. Wade’s attorneys recently filed papers with the court asking for sole custody of his two children, claiming that Siohvaughn’s behavior “has made it evident that she is unstable, dishonest, unbalanced, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, not…
The Heat has been burning through the final stretch of the regular season and is on a five-game winning streak. Luckily, their eight remaining games are against weaker teams that are all mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. That doesn’t mean the Heat should cool down any.D-Wade and company sit in…
