So you just moved to the Magic City — welcome to Miami and bienvenido a Miami! You’ve chosen wisely. Now make sure you fill your garage with bottled water, D batteries, and a week’s supply of Spam, and keep your gas tank full, because it’s hurricane season and we can’t guarantee you’ll have power next week.
Last Thursday, fans got their first taste of what’s being billed as a bona fide Miami Dolphins quarterback competition. Before that day, the only indications had been media tweets and a handful of practices open to the public. In Thursday’s 34-27 win against the Atlanta Falcons, a few things came to light as Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen battled to snatch the starter job.
The most in-depth story done so far by local media on Miami Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills’ calling out his team’s owner Stephen Ross for political hypocrisy came from a local sports columnist. And it was one of the most pathetic examples of political commentary in memory. But before we get…
Hey, did you hear? The Miami Dolphins are in the news again! We’re talking about an actual football game that happened last night on the football field at Hard Rock Stadium, which sits atop an Indian burial site that probably has nothing to do with the franchise’s long-term bad luck and overall failures.
Tomorrow night marks the beginning of a shiny new season of Miami Dolphins football. The home team will take on the Atlanta Falcons at 7:30 at Hard Rock Stadium. Preseason or not, it feels good to look forward to an actual game.
Last week in this space, we let you know about a study that showed Miami Dolphins fans curse more than almost all others in the NFL. It was quite an achievement, really. This week, we learn that Heat fans go harder than all others on game night and feel it the next morning.
If you’ve spent any real time in Miami, chances are you already know this. But now, there’s a study to back up your own personal research — Miami Dolphins fans like to use profanity, and they do so more than almost any other fan base in the NFL.
It’s been a long, winding, and painful road, but here we are — South Florida’s professional sports teams have arrived at arguably one of their brightest times. It doesn’t sound right when you say it out loud, but it’s true.
Someone call Marie Kondo, because the Miami Heat has a mess on its hands. Hassan Whiteside remains in full-fledged hide-the-butthurt mode since the team traded him to the Portland Trailblazers last month.
The Miami Dolphins are only one day into their 2019 training camp under new head coach Brian Flores, but fans are already getting a taste of something they haven’t witnessed in over a decade — a genuine quarterback competition.
Come tomorrow at 9:40 a.m., the Miami Dolphins are back. Well, sort of. Their training practices will be open to the public at the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University in Davie. Beggars can’t be choosers, though, so we’ll take it.
Remember the Miami Dolphins? You know, the football team that plays in that spaceship-looking building off the highway? Yeah, they’re back doing football-related exercises in preparation for big-boy preseason football games that’ll get underway against the Atlanta Falcons August 8.
Would you like to see all Miami’s favorite sports stars make themselves look 30 years older and possibly-maybe turn over all their personal data to the Russians at the same time? Well boy, do we have an app and a story for you! By now you’ve heard of FaceApp, the…
Recently, Miami sports teams have made some high-profile breaks from players and coaches who were once thought to be saviors. Gone but not forgotten, these castoffs have new chances to prove their ex-Miami teams wrong.
It’s possible this is the craziest NBA offseason of all time. The regular season doesn’t begin for months, but that hasn’t stopped the NBA “down months” from providing fans with premium playoffs-level drama. How it unfolded will be taught to schoolchildren one day.
Just a few weeks ago, we here at Miami New Times introduced you to your new favorite Miami Heat player, Tyler Herro. It didn’t matter then that you weren’t aware the Heat’s first-round draft pick was about to win your heart. After a little research, it was clear this was a guy who not only would fit right in but also soon enough garner his own fan club.
The perception of Miami sports fans is wildly inaccurate at best, racist at worst, and, most of the time, just plain wrong.
NBA free-agency season isn’t even a week old, and it’s apparent none of us was fully prepared for the tsunami of offseason-basketball soap-opera news it has already brought thus far. And the Miami Heat — without a single penny to its name — has somehow been one of the busiest teams since the NBA’s off-season edition of Game of Thrones got underway.
This is the perfect opportunity for the Heat to grab an all-star player and complete a potential NBA-altering reclamation project all in the same deal.
After a 10-31 start to the season, the Miami Marlins had themselves a nice little June — a 13-14 June, in fact. Nothing spectacular, and a June that by any other MLB team’s standards — rebuilding or otherwise — wouldn’t be all that newsworthy.
If trends continue, the Miami Heat is set to have a fantastic summer. The Heat entered this year’s free agency period with virtually zero salary-cap space, way too many athletic-but-ultimately-mediocre dudes crowding the lineup, and no clear superstar. They seemed destined for years of mediocrity.
Jimmy Butler is officially a member of the Miami Heat. It’s Biscayne Buckets time. This is happening. Once news broke Sunday morning that the Miami Heat and Butler were set to meet at exactly 6:01 p.m., there was growing confidence that Pat Riley and the Heat could land the former…
