This past weekend, the Dwyane Wade “One Last Dance” tour stopped in familiar places for the Heat’s soon-to-be-retired three-time champion. While Wade has been honored in just about every city he’s visited this season, this past weekend was special. The guard checked off a couple of significant boxes. Stops in…
For the next two weeks, all you are going to hear about is the great storylines of the February 3 Super Bowl LIII at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta that pits the New England Patriots against the Los Angeles Rams. It’ll be young quarterback versus old, young coach versus old,…
Over the years the question has been asked: What is Miami Heat culture? While the answer is debatable and multipronged, one player on the roster can pretty much sum it up — Dion Waiters. He’s both it, and the opposite of it. Waiters is proof of what…
While most of Miami was focused on the annual end-of-season pants-pooping by the Miami Dolphins, Heat players were slowly picking themselves off the ground and recovering from their own early-season trousers-soiling. When December began, the Miami Heat was one of the worst teams in the NBA. Since then,…
In April 2017, New Times reported on a study showing that people who hate kneeling NFL players are also very likely racist. That news has not stopped Miami Herald sportswriter Armando Salguero from flying into something of a blackout rage whenever anyone mentions football players protesting racism in America…
You were probably busy crying in the corner. Maybe you were watching videos of long-ago Heat championship parades, Marlins World Series victories, or the Dolphins’ undefeated season a half-century ago. So you might have missed this bit of unsurprising news: Everything sports in South Florida — from Sawgrass Mills Mall down to Bayside Marketplace — is a big ol’ pile of depressing.
On New Year’s Eve, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross asked vice president Mike Tannenbaum to move his desk to the nearest Panera cafe. He also relieved Adam Gase of his head coaching duties after three unimpressive seasons that resulted in a 23-25 record, some of the worst offenses in football,…
This past season, the Miami Dolphins pissed away another year of fan loyalty and patience. It was one more 7-9 season littered with the same flaws and downfalls Dolphins fans have endured for the last two decades. So majority owner Stephen Ross embarked on his third remake/rebuild in his less than…
It’s time for both the fan base and Manny Diaz to accept two important things: 1) Nobody cares how good the Miami Hurricanes used to be, and 2) everyone is fully aware the weather in Florida is pretty nice.
Just being rich and spending money isn’t enough.
It’s a new era in Miami with new general manager Chris Grier and Dan Marino in charge.
Looking ahead to the new year, here are a few New Year’s resolutions we think Miami sports fans should consider.
Mayor’s son offers hope.
Miami Dolphins fans have had enough of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, head coach Adam Gase, and player-picker (not) extraordinaire Mike Tannenbaum. From the looks of the team’s effort Sunday in the Phins’ mortifying, season-ending 42-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the trio and everyone else associated with the team has had…
With the Dolphins season dying a merciful injury-riddled death on Sunday when the Dolphins face the Buffalo Bills, owner Stephen Ross has some important offseason decisions to make. Ross must decide if current vice president Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Adam Gase should continue steering a Miami Dolphins ship that’s…
As we near the end of 2018, it’s time to look back and reflect on the sports year that was. Although it hasn’t been the most memorable of years for Miami, there were a handful of stars worth singling out. These five 2018 sports people of the year made an otherwise unspectacular 2018…
Ross was visibly over it as the Dolphins lost.
A survey of 1,500 NFL fans conducted by TickTock and provided to the Washington Examiner focuses on how some NFL fans hold athletes to a higher standard than others do. And Dolphins fans pop up in most of the fields as the fan base least likely to be the life of a party or the group you want to invite to Christmas dinner.
Former Miami Marlins president David Samson appeared on Miami ESPN host Dan Le Batard’s radio program this morning. The two men were doing damage control after New Times yesterday published a video of Samson appearing onstage at Le Batard’s 50th birthday party over the weekend. It showed Samson bragging about conning Miami taxpayers…
At this point, every single person who worked for the Miami Marlins when Jeffrey Loria owned the team should be under strict FBI surveillance. Robert Mueller should be stalking these people. They keep revealing themselves to be vampires.
Sequels are notoriously terrible. The Godfather III, Rocky V, and Jaws 3-D come to mind. Oh, and the week after one of the most memorable Dolphins wins of all time came a terrible followup. Seven days after the “Miracle in Miami,” there was no miracle in Minneapolis. Instead of making a stunning comeback, the Dolphins died a sleepy, serene, uneventful death against the Minnesota Vikings.
When there is an intersection of profit and making fun of the Patriots, the internet never fails to capitalize.
