We’re all used to the idea that none of our football teams is going to have a great season. Not bad either. Just painfully, boringly average. Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins, Sunday 1 p.m. on CBS4 It’s the future team of Rush Limbaugh versus the former team of OJ Simpson…
Remember when Marge Schott owned the Cincinnati Reds? The woman caused one PR and PC nightmare after another with comments sympathizing with Adolf Hitler and unapologetically using slurs to describe African-Americans, homosexuals, Jews, and Japanese. There couldn’t possibly be another owner in sports who could ever top her in the…
VMan is a men’s fashion magazine with a capital F, and like all such mags, it must reassure straight readership it’s not gay. I mean, artsy shots of $2,000 shoes and such with a shot of sexually ambiguous Gossip Girl actor Chase Crawford on the cover. What better way to…
Poor little Memphis Grizzlies. They’re one of only three NBA teams to never win a NBA Championship, Conference Championship or a Division Championship. They’ve won less than 30% of the games they played in the last two seasons. They gave the first pre-season win to the Heat last night, and…
Last weekend proved a harsh bit or reality to Dolphin’s fans. We lost to a friggin’ winless team! It wasn’t quite the upset that our win against the Pats were, but damn it must not do much for morale, one point difference or not. Things were brighter on the college…
Miami is one of seven cities that submitted a bid for a Major League Soccer expansion team. Though, Sports Illustrated finds some curiosities in the latest announcement. For one, they were surprised that neither New York or Las Vegas was amongst the city’s bidding. They also find the language used…
First off, some Australian rules football star named Mr. Wayne Carey reached a plea deal in an assault case he got himself entwined with during a visit to Miami about a year ago. He was charged with elbowing and kicking some of Miami’s finest, but ultimately the officers involved agreed…
The Miami Dolphins dropped to 2-3 after a frustrating 29-28 loss to the Texans yesterday. When the Fins defense caught two early interceptions and Patrick Cobbs scored a 53-yard and an 80-yard touchdown, and it seemed like Joey Porter was going to turn Texans left tackle Duane Brown into his…
[ via the Orlando Sentinel The University of Central Florida may not have prevailed on the field against the Miami Hurricanes. But as you can see, they won big time in the obscene-gestures-caught-on-national-TV contest. The best Miami players could muster were some “L-on-the-forehead” loser signs when Joe Burnett — No…
The Dolphins (and hey, The Golden Panthers, too!) continued their surprising winning streak last weekend. Meanwhile the young Canes continued their heartbreaking streak of staggering greenness. Will the streaks continue for another week? That is why you tune in to find out. I am not a psychic. Sorry. Miami Dolphins…
Does not Miami deserve a football team that can bring us true glory, and not just the occasional feel good win? At the very least a team who would be enjoyable to watch whether they won or not. Enter The Miami Caliente (uh, The Miami “Hot”?), one of the inaugural…
Randy Shannon has a 2-8 record in ACC play since he took the Cane’s reins last year, but it’s totally cool. The administration at UM is still lovey dovey over him. That’s what Shannon tells The Palm Beach Post: Shannon said Sunday he’s not feeling any pressure from UM President…
For a second there, we all had the flashbacks. After Dan Carpenter missed that sure-fire 42 yard field goal, and then San Diego immediately marched down the field scored a TD a few minutes later, you thought “Well fuck me in the pants, here we go again.” You also thought…
In July, New Times columnist Elyse Wanshel opined that perhaps Mixed Martial Arts — that sport of sweat-drenched extreme dry-humping — is a tad bit homosexual. Diehard MMA fans, it turns out, weren’t exactly pleased (by the way, thanks for the anthrax!) Well, you’re all forgiven for doubting us. On…

Last time we checked in with our lil’ football friends the Dolphins shocked the nation and had last week off, the Canes fell apart in the last quarter of a game they should have won, and the Golden Panthers won their first game of the season. So in two cases…
Esther Lin/For CBS-EliteXC Curtis Williams won a Kimbo Slice lookalike contest held by BIG 105.9 for a tickets to Saturday night’s EliteXC event at the BankAtlantic Center. I was going to suggest a few things he could do to step his Kimbo-gänger game up a bit more, but then I…
via SI Enough about what our congressional delegates and candidates think about the financial crises. Is Ileana Ros-Lehtinen a three time Pro Bowl selection? Does Mario Diaz-Balart have a Super Bowl ring? Did Raul Martinez deliver the Patriot’s first regular season loss in 21 games? Nope. So what does Dolphins…
With the NBA season a few weeks away comes yesterday’s news that Randy Pfund has resigned his position as general manager of the Miami Heat. All the right things were said via statements from both parties. Pfund thanked owner Mickey Arison and team president Pat Riley for “the opportunity.” Riley,…
Since it became an Olympic Sport in 1988, America has never won a medal in table tennis. It’s the kind of thing that makes Eagles cry. All we really have to our credit is making the definitive movie of the sport, Balls of Fury. But that’s the effort of Hollywood,…
After what is sure to be a dramatic Presidential debate tonight, it’ll be relaxing to follow some contests where the winner won’t decide the fate of our nation. The dick sandwich servin’, pig flyin’ Dolphins have a bye this week, but the city’s two college teams should keep your mind…
To file under “Shit We Would Not Have Wagered A Single Nickel On One Week Ago”: In offices cluttered with Xs-and-Os and in pungent locker-rooms across America, the nation’s great offensive minds have been up late all week feverishly studying the latest mad geniuses of the National Football League.
