Imagine you’re Burnie, the mascot for the Miami Heat, sitting there on a quiet Tuesday morning, not bothering anyone, just sipping coffee while reading the newspaper and staring out onto Biscayne Bay. It’s the off-season and you’re finally looking forward to some much-needed downtime. Then a single tweet fired off…
In a clip posted for his 3.3 million Instagram followers this past March 28, Oakland Raiders star Antonio Brown stands in a weight room at Hollywood Hills High School while grasping a comically large medicine ball. The song “Baby Birkin” by the rapper Gunna reverberates through the gym, painted various…
It’s been a week, but Miami Heat fans are still coming to terms with the fact that Dwyane Wade will never play again. It’s sad. On the bright side, though, that Spotify break-up playlist filled with ’90s Brian McKnight and Boyz II Men songs is coming in handy again. The…
Earlier this month, the Florida Panthers made a bunch of posters and a literal billboard emblazoned with the sentence “Q IS HERE” — a reference to the team’s new coach, Joel Quenneville — and some people now believe it’s a reference to the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Now that the Dwyane Wade retirement tour is over, the Heat faces a troubling reality — next year’s team is sure to look a lot like this year’s team that missed the playoffs, only without the pleasant distraction of Wade.
Dwyane Wade’s farewell was perfect. Well, almost perfect. His #OneLastDance retirement tour could have used an ending that involved a playoff appearance, but a 30-point performance that included jumbotron messages from everyone from his sons to President Barack Obama, and a triple-double in the season finale in Brooklyn Wednesday night…
After Dwyane Wade scored 30 points in his final home game for the Miami Heat during last night’s victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, it’s just about time to say goodbye. The music on Wade’s #OneLastDance retirement tour ends tonight when the Heat plays the season finale against the Brooklyn Nets…
Saying there is a tremendous amount of pressure on the Miami Heat heading into its 8 p.m. Friday matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves is an understatement — so much is on the line, with so little time left in the season, and almost zero room for error. The Heat’s disappointing…
The Miami Marlins’ 2019 season is officially in full swing. The team managed to split the season-opening home series against the Colorado Rockies and look scrappy despite losing two to the Mets. Tonight, they go up against New York ace Jacob deGrom. Although the Fish are expected to be the…
One down, 161 to go. If the Marlins’ Opening Day, 6-3 home loss to the Colorado Rockies is any indication, a little patience and understanding from fans will definitely go a long way this year. The intrigue is there, but the odds will be against the team daily. From…
The results are in and we’re calling it: The Miami Heat got the best LeBron. It’s over. Break out those special cigars and that bottle of limited edition small-batch whiskey you were saving. We freakin’ did it, Miami. Cleveland Cavaliers? Yeah, LeBron willed…
Tomorrow night, the Miami Heat will play the Orlando Magic. It’s a huge game that has massive playoff implications. With fewer than ten games remaining, the two teams are neck-and-neck for the eighth and final seat at the Eastern Conference Finals table. But none of it matters. The most memorable moment will take place during halftime.
Now that the Ryan Tannehill seven-year saga is finally behind the Miami Dolphins and Ryan Fitzpatrick has signed a two-year deal to act as a bridge to the future, the search begins for the next great Dolphins quarterback. The consensus opinion…
The Heat is playing a game of musical chairs for one of the final spots in the Eastern Conference NBA playoffs. With just a few weeks left in the season, the Heat is within striking distance of the sixth seed, but also, unfortunately, the…
The NCAA Tournament field was announced last night, and to the surprise of no one Miami’s 14-18 record wasn’t good enough to punch a ticket to the dance. It’s the second year in a row the Hurricanes will miss the tournament, which, if we’re honest, few will notice. Miami…
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has been a cornerstone of the team since 2012, was traded to the Tennessee Titans Friday. The Dolphins will get a fourth-round pick in 2020 as well as a 2019 seventh-round pick, while the Titans receive Tannehill and a sixth-round pick in 2019, according…
One year ago, in this very space, we pleaded with the Miami Dolphins to sign Miami native and former Miami Northwestern High School and Louisville star Teddy Bridgewater. It made sense heading into last season, knowing full well that Ryan Tannehill might miss games (he did) due to…
After years of the Dolphins trying and failing to make it work, it’s clear Ryan Tannehill’s seven-year tenure with the Miami Dolphins is about to come to an end. And following the Denver Broncos’ trade of Case Keenum to the quarterback-needy Washington Redskins, there are officially zero NFL teams…
Cam Wake always represented the Miami Dolphins will class and integrity, even when everything around him was on fire and crashing to the ground. Wake deserved better than the past decade’s Dolphins, but he never complained or asked out.
Rakontur Productions’ new Miami steroid documentary, Screwball, hits theaters on March 29. We’d like to say we’re promoting the film simply because it’s an absolutely hilarious, only-in-Miami crime-caper, black comedy, and piece of journalism all rolled into one. But there is more to it. Though all that is true, we are…
It’s the worst kept secret in the NFL — nobody wants to be featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” the wildly popular behind-the-scenes training camp series that airs on the network each summer. It’s every team’s worst nightmare and they’ll do anything to get out of it. But the Miami Dolphins should beg…
The date was June 26, 2003. The NBA draft was taking place in Madison Square Garden. The Miami Heat held the fifth-overall selection. The pool included some of the most talented players ever. it was important the Heat get this one right. In retrospect, no one, not even the Miami Heat,…
