Jameis Winston may be from Alabama, but the Heisman winner and Florida State quarterback has certainly adjusted to Florida culture. He was reportedly slapped on the wrists earlier this week for pulling off one of the most Florida minor crimes ever: he stole seafood from a Publix. According to Tomahawk…
Now that the Miami Heat have punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, the team and its fans can begin to look ahead to the next challenge. The Heat next face the winner of the Toronto Raptors-Brooklyn Nets series, which is tied 2-2. While the Raptors are the higher…
After audio leaked of LA Clippers owners Donald Sterling’s racist exchange with his mistress, LeBron James responded by saying there’s no place for him the NBA. Today, NBA commissioner Adam Silver essentially agreed. He announced that Sterling has been banned indefinitely from the NBA, and pending on a vote from…
Four down, a dozen to go. How sweep it is. The Miami Heat put down the Charlotte Bobcats Monday night 109-98, ending not only the Cats’ season but also their identity, because the team switches back to the Charlotte Hornets next season. The Heat completed the series, season, and life…
For a decade, Dr. Jack Ramsay, alongside Eric Reid, was the voice of the Miami Heat on Sun Sports, booming out Lenard! And Slamma! after a Voshon Lenard three-pointer or slam, or hollering his trademark for Tim Hardaway: “This away, that away, Hardaway!” Of course, Ramsay was much more than…
New tape has leaked this morning to Deadspin of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling discussing his views on race, and the audio makes it clear that Sterling is about as enlightened on the topic as mouth-breathing Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The key difference is that Sterling owns a major…
The Heat is steamrolling its way past the Bobcats behind two dominant games from LeBron James. And Miami Heat fans know exactly what that means: The LBJ haters are already coming out of the woodwork. Just take a look at the comments on Riptide’s post yesterday, which made the controversial…
Late in the fourth quarter, with the Heat clinging to a three-point lead, LeBron James drove to the basket looking to ice it. Instead, LBJ was given something completely different to worry about icing — his throat. The Bobcats’ Josh McRoberts met LeBron and his neck at the basket, sending…
Apparently, Miami’s reputation as Vice City worried Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford just a little too much. Rather than having his team spend two free days in this tempting city of sin between playoff games, he flew his young team back to Charlotte…
Sunday’s postseason opener answered one of the few questions some had about this Miami Heat team. Yes, Dwyane Wade is OK. And yes, he was taking names of everyone slandering him as he rested this season. Wade shot 10-16 for 23 points in 34 minutes, helping the Heat turn a…
Welcome back to the three most stressful months of your life, it’s time to basketball. The NBA Playoffs have finally arrived and the Miami Heat are right where you expected them to be, firmly cemented as the odds-on favorite to repeat as World Champions. A less than dominant regular season…
The NBA Playoffs begin Sunday for the Miami Heat against the Charlotte Bobcats, and lord knows it’s not their first time at the dance. It will be the team’s 18th appearance in their relatively young 26-year history. That of course has led to a lot of dramatic playoff moments. Here…
The Miami Heat may be entering the NBA playoffs as a second seed, but they’re tops in another set of standings. For the sixth time, LeBron James’ jersey was the top seller in the league. The Miami Heat, meanwhile, sold more merchandise this season than any other team…
Mercifully, the Heat’s regular season came to an end Wednesday night with a 100-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Heat loss means Miami finishes the season with a 54-28 record, 12 games worse than last season’s franchise record 66-win campaign. With the second seed in the East locked up…
The Marlins surprising 5-1 start had us feeling positively optimistic. Maybe this season wouldn’t be a slow, painful march to MLB irrelevance. Maybe, just maybe, this would be the first season the team actually lost a playoff series! Sadly, reality has set back in. The team is in the midst…
We’re number two! We’re number two! The Miami Heat clinched the second seed in the Eastern Conference with last night’s 114-93 loss to the Washington Wizards, a terrific feat for most teams, but not so much a reason to celebrate for your defending back-to-back NBA champions. If resting LeBron James…
Sometimes after going through a dark, dramatic period, nothing can do wonders like a brand-new wardrobe. Apparently, that was the Miami Hurricanes and Nike’s thinking as they unveiled a new set of uniforms this weekend. Similar to other special-edition uniforms the team has worn in recent years, the full set…
Continuing what’s become something of a tradition, the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders are back lip synching for their lives, and this time they really, really, really wanna zigga-zag-ah. Yes, even though its the middle of spring 2014, the ladies have already shot their 2015 calendar at a resort in the Dominican…
It just can’t ever be easy, can it? Wednesday night, the Heat dropped a second straight game, 107-102. The loss, combined with the Indiana Pacers’ win against the Milwaukee Bucks last night, means the Heat now holds the second seed in the East heading into the biggest game of the…
If you lose your wallet in Miami, it’s not uncommon never to get it back, and if you do, there might be a little something missing. Some people are not above taking a finder’s fee. However, not everyone is terrible. A young fan who lost his wallet at Marlins Park…
Controversy! For the third time this season, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Miami Heat. Last night the Nets won by a single point, thus sweeping the season series four games to none. But not without debate. With the Heat trailing by one, Miami had one frantic last chance to pull…
Just another lazy Sunday afternoon. Just another dominating performance by LeBron James. Just another Knicks loss. Like they say, all totally predictably awesome things come in threes. This past Sunday, LeBron James continued to put the shorthanded Heat on his back by scoring 38 points, along with five rebounds and…
