San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. on Fox.Your Miami Dolphins are involved in a hot, sexy three-way with the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, but no one can decide who’s going to be on top … of the AFC East division. The menage-a-trois may very…
You know times are tough when crazed college football fans in places like cold-ass Blacksburg, Virginia; and Cincinnati, Ohio, can’t scrounge up enough change to get to sunny Miami for a January 1 bowl game. But alas, that is the cold, hard truth of these tough economic times.More depressing recession-related news…
After Chanel debuted its “Miami Vice” shoe, which came complete with a mini pistol in place of the heel, at this summer’s Cruise collection, Miami is starting to gain a reputation for debuting controversial footwear. While Kobe Bryant is no Karl Lagerfeld, he’s following in the Kaiser’s footsteps by debuting…
Oh, no! Your Miami Hurricanes basketball team has fallen out of the AP’s Top 25 poll! They’re currently 5-2, and both of those losses were to unbeaten teams, so there’s not that much shame and a good chance for a resurgence. But tonight they get the chance to let off…
A fair number of locals were excited that a Major League Soccer team might be coming back to Miami, especially under the guidance of FC Barcelona, but here comes The New York Times soccer blog with their vicious theories and reporting to rain on our parade. While they still say…
This season, the Miami Hurricanes came out way behind their in-state rivals, UF and FSU, by most on-the-field standards, losing to both teams. Now here’s a little salt for those wounds: Both the Noles and the Gators made Higher Ed Watch’s Top 25 for academic achievement, while the Canes went…
Holy sugartits is this a magical time to be a Dolphins fan! They’re just displaying all kinds of dexterity in the ass-kicking department, as they did yesterday when they flew into Canada’s Rogers Centre and delivered a beatdown to the rival Buffalo Bills. The Fins defeated Buffalo 16-3 in front…
The college football season came to end, so we’re left for the time being with only this Miami Dolphin team to keep us company. Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills, Sunday 4:05pm on CBSThe Buffalo Bills, the former team of noted armed robber OJ Simpson, have worked out a weird plan…
Kimbo Slice, like many stars before him, is retreating to Japan to milk out a little bit more money before his career quietly fades out. While there we imagine him shooting a commercial for some whiskey, appearing on a whackey game show, and then meeting the pretty but neglected wife…
Once again, the Miami Dolphins had to pull unicorns and rainbows out their asses to keep from losing to a two-win team. But pull the magic from their bottoms they did, as they took down the hapless St. Louis Rams 16-12, for their seventh win of the season. Drive killing…
Cold, hard reality set in last week for Miami’s two most notable football squads. The Fins lost their rematch to the Pats, and the Canes saw their ACC title hopes evaporate. Hopefully they’ll be able to put their disappointment behind them and not squander seasons that are, by last year’s standards, pretty…
Miami’s favorite pill-popping, adopted-father Frenching, nonsensical metaphor making (or is “I can play basketball with the moon” a simile?) rambling blogger Lil Wayne has used his ESPN.com soapbox to unleash a rant about troubled Cowboys defensive back Pacman Jones’ indefinite suspension from the NFL: I don’t think the Pacman Jones…
Since 1980, the Pro Bowl has been played in Honolulu, Hawaii, the week after the Super Bowl, but buzz during the past couple of years has indicated NFL bigwigs aren’t happy with the status quo. They nixed a plan to move this year’s Pro Bowl to a week before the Super Bowl at…
The Patriots punted once in the entire game during yesterday’s 48-28 win over the Dolphins. Once. New England’s offense totaled 530 yards — the most the Dolphins defense has allowed since 1995. You could still catch brand new episodes of Seinfeld the last time the Dolphins allowed that many yards…
Rich Sanchez and his CNN show certainly have caught the twitter bug, and now another former Miami fixture is twittering his thumbnails off, too. Our New Times brethren in Phoenix report that the 7’1 superstar has his own twitter account, and apparently it’s legit. Shaq is really into twitter, but…
Ugh, it is football post time again. After the Canes’ face plant last night, we’re a bit down on the sport. Seriously they had it all before them – a return to national prominence and the ACC title and what do they do? Give up more rushing yards than they…
Is there any extra duct tape lying around the Dolphins locker room? How about a ball gag? Because there are times when Joey Porter just needs to shut up. Porter was sharing his deep thoughts on the Michael Vick case and decided Vick should be given another shot in the…
Old photo, same result Ah, the resurrected Miami Hurricanes football program. Ranked in the top 25 again! Headed to the ACC title game! Unable to stop some one-legged homeless guy from Atlanta from busting off a 15-yard run! There are many ways to prove that the AP voters have overranked…
Miami Hurricanes @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 7:30 tonight on ESPN The Kiddy Canes right now are fly like paper and high like planes, and the rest of the ACC Coastal division is at their total mercy. If they win the next two games, they’re guaranteed a spot in the…
Thierry Henry It has never made much sense that Miami doesn’t have a team in Major League Soccer, what with its large Central and South American population and all, so it’s little surprise that the Magic City is a leading candidate for an expansion franchise beginning in 2010. We’ll know…
Is it even news anymore that Joey Porter runs his mouth? It’s like, “I saw some birds fly, the grass is green, oxygen passes through our lungs, Joey Porter is trash-talking his opponents.” It’s only news if those things stop happening, or in Porter’s case, the object of his derision…
Holy crap. That was close. For a while there, it seemed as if we were witnessing the return of the Shitphins. With just 4:30 remaining in a game that the Dolphins had been leading in all day, Oakland’s John Lee Higgins ran a Miami punt back 93-yards to pay dirt,…
