The Miami Dolphins beat the New England Patriots 27-20 Monday night in undoubtedly Miami’s best performance of the season. Jay Cutler threw three pretty touchdowns. Kenyan Drake looked like a Pro Bowl running back, racking up more than 200 all-purpose yards. And on defense, second-year cornerback Xavien Howard looked like Deion Sanders while picking off Tom Brady twice.
If you would have asked Dolphins fans last season whether the franchise had finally found a head coach they could trust for many years, you would have seen a sea of hands. “Yesssss!” they probably would have said. “Keep Adam Gase for years!” Winning nine of the past 11 games to end your first season on the job tends to move your approval rate upward. Dolphins fans, and management, were quite happy with the man leading their football team.
Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins fails to grasp the meaning of bowing your head and raising a fist. After 26 weeks of silently protesting during “The Star-Spangled Banner” to call attention to police brutality against African-Americans, Jenkins stopped doing so this past Sunday.
On October 24, 2015, the Miami Hurricanes’ program hit rock bottom. Clemson came to Miami and delivered an unimaginable 58-0 ass-beating to the Hurricanes that sent head coach Al Golden to Detroit to coach tight ends for the Lions, and Mark Richt to Miami to begin a complete rebuild of a once-storied football program.
If switching races was as easy as trading players in professional sports, African-Americans would swap Tiger Woods for Prince Harry in a heartbeat. In recent days, Woods proved he’s an Uncle Tom, while the young princeling is breaking down royal racial barriers by getting engaged to an American woman who is half black.
On Sunday, Miami Dolphins fans were treated to a fifth straight loss, this time an embarrassing, 35-17 bore-fest with the hated New England Patriots. On Monday, Dolphins fans are being treated to a free Frosty. Seems like a fair trade, to be honest.
“Do you know kimchi? Do you know bulgogi? Do you know Gangnam Style? Do you know Psy?” The Korean pop star Psy himself raps those lyrics in a distorted deep voice on the song “Fact Assault,” a collaboration with G-Dragon. Psy, of course, became a viral phenomenon in 2012 with…
One. More. Win. That’s all the University of Miami Hurricanes football team needs to complete a perfect 11-0 regular season. If the Canes can stiff-arm and sidestep a seemingly inferior 4-5 Pittsburgh Panthers team on the road today, they’ll head into the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game…
He’s baaaaaaaaaaack. Sixteen years after he lost his bid to be reelected as Miami’s mayor, Crazy Joe Carollo is returning to 3500 Pan American Drive as a city commissioner. On Tuesday night, he squeaked out a narrow victory in a run-off against Alfie Leon, a former aide to his brother…
The Miami Hurricanes are 10-0. They’re locked into their first appearance in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game, where they’ll take on the Clemson Tigers at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium December 2. And if the Canes can win four more games in a row, they’ll be national champions for the sixth time.
Here lies the 2017 Miami Dolphins season, gone far too soon. It is likely to be survived by Adam Gase, a coach who refuses to shoulder any of the team’s losses; Mike Tannenbaum, a general manager you wouldn’t trust balancing your checkbook; and Stephen Ross, an owner who is good at building world-class things as long as they aren’t football organizations.
Joe Carollo was arrested in 2001 for hitting his wife so hard he left a golf-ball-size welt on her head. One of the then Miami mayor’s young daughters called 911 and begged, “Help, my dad is hurting my mom! Please come now, please!” as a woman’s screams were heard in the background. The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office eventually dropped domestic violence charges against Carollo because he agreed to attend anger-management courses.
The University of Miami Hurricanes are back on top of the college football world, and their return to dominance has, predictably, brought back the haters. A very wise man once said that with great power comes great responsibility. The responsibility that comes with kicking opponents’ asses every Saturday is that Miami must once again play the role of college football’s professional wrestling heel.
If the 2017 Miami Dolphins football team were a farm animal, it would be led out to pasture and excused from any kind of actual work. No one would disagree with the decision to gently retire it. The poor guy is clearly too injured and useless to help any longer.
If U didn’t already know, now U know: The Miami Hurricanes are the best football team in the nation, and when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee releases its latest playoff rankings later this week, the Canes should occupy the top spot. No more doubts. No more excuses. The Canes are due some respect, and the bill is far overdue.
The NCAA has no integrity. The cutthroat organization that oversees collegiate sports does everything possible to prevent student-athletes from making a living but nothing to stop scalpers from profiting off the young men who play at sold-out stadiums. Just look at the price gouging for tickets to this weekend’s game between the Miami Hurricanes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, which will be played at Hard Rock Stadium Saturday at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Just hours after President Donald Trump threatened war on North Korea, 3,000 people formed a huge human peace sign at Hialeah Gardens High School. The symbol wasn’t a protest, and Trump’s name never came up, but the message was unmistakeable: War is not something anyone wants.
Why is South Florida, the eighth largest radio market in the country not providing a listenable station anywhere on the FM dial? When was the last time anyone came to you and said, “Hey, I just heard the greatest set of music on W???-FM?” Never! It just doesn’t happen in…
After Saturday night’s 28-10 undressing of the No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies, the Miami Hurricanes are officially back on the college football map. The huge win moved the Hurricanes up two slots in the AP rankings to No. 7 and kept them steady in the Coaches’ poll at No. 6. Right now,…
Coming off an embarrassing, nationally televised 40-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, the Dolphins got a chance against the Oakland Raiders this past Sunday night to prove to the nation they’re actually not a bad football team.
Papa John’s founder John Schnatter claims he lost $70 million this week, at least partially due to the NFL controversy that centers on players kneeling during the National Anthem to protest racial injustice and inequality. “This should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago,” Schnatter said. “The [NFL] controversy is polarizing the customer, polarizing the country.”
The Miami Heat is about to make a huge, completely avoidable mistake, and it can all be fixed by reversing a decision that doesn’t even go into effect next season. There is still time to keep coach Tony Fiorentino on the team’s broadcast in 2018.
