Real Miami Heat fans miss Chris Bosh. A lot. More than someone should miss a professional athlete. Sometimes they watch YouTube videos just to get a fix of Bosh draining jumpers in a Heat uniform.
The appointment of former FBI director Robert Mueller as the special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign ties to Russia dooms the president. Just look at the last time a big-time lawyer was appointed to investigate a commander-in-chief.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has quite a life story. The son of a janitor, he grew up in Portugal in a one-room apartment with no running water or electricity. Yet he became the only one of six kids to graduate from high school. He then came to…
The narrative surrounding the Miami Dolphins has changed. Around this time last year, the Fins were the butt of everyone’s jokes. They were an annual disappointment. Fans were lucky to even be disappointed, because that meant that at some point, the team had at least tricked you into expecting something from it. For years, Miami sat by and watched other NFL fans open presents, while they got nothing.
Marlins Park remains the worst stadium deal in American history. Miamians are still on the hook for more than $2.4 billion in costs for a ballpark they didn’t want, all to benefit the most hated owner in professional sports. Taxpayers were so pissed that they recalled the Carlos Alvarez, the…
Here is a brief list of things Marco Rubio has no opinion about: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s Russia ties, Donald Trump’s unconstitutional Muslim ban, climate change, Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ lies about his contacts with Russian officials, and, now, Trump’s outrageous firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Did you see what happened April 30 in Edmonton, Canada? The hometown Oilers and the Anaheim Ducks were moments away from dropping the puck for Game 3 of their Round 2 National Hockey League playoff game. Only the formality of the singing of “O Canada” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” stood between fans and game action.
A bunch of filthy-rich white Republicans and their circus-clown leader, Donald Trump, did a victory lap in the Rose Garden Thursday after the House passed Trumpcare, the legislation that will repeal and replace Obamacare. It was their way of saying, “We finally got that nigger.”
Jeffrey Loria is about to get away with the heist of the century, and there is nothing anyone can do. With the Marlins reportedly on the verge of a sale that would net the team’s owner more than $1 billion in profit off his initial $158.5 million investment in 2002, Loria is the big winner.
Both Republicans and Democrats are now glad former State Senator Frank Artiles is gone. Democrats hated him for being an outright bigot, and Republicans mostly just hated him because he made them look bad. But, either way, after dropping the N-word in front of a black colleague and becoming a…
No apology from Florida Sen. Frank Artiles is going to change the fact that he is a scumbag racist who needs to resign. The Kendall Republican is under fire after his slur-filled tirade in front of two black legislators at a private dinner Monday night went public. During the…
Everyone rightfully hates Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, so it’s easy to immediately hate his decision to build a ten-foot bronze statue in honor of Jose Fernandez. And plenty of people did just that. The Miami Herald’s Fabiola Santiago accused Loria of “cashing in” on the ballplayer’s death, while Fox Sports Radio’s Ben Maller argued that anyone who killed two other people while high and drunk doesn’t deserve such a public honor.
New York Knicks President Phil Jackson made it pretty clear Friday that ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony is on the trading block when he told reporters that Melo “would be better off somewhere else.” Let the negotiations with teams that would like to acquire his services begin! Even though Melo and Jackson haven’t seen eye-to-eye, it was pretty stunning to see him straight-up announce that his best player and future Hall of Fame forward is a goner.
The best college football coaching staff in Florida has just set up camp in Boca Raton, and that should concern University of Miami Hurricanes fans. Florida Atlantic University’s new head coach, Lane Kiffin, has brought in top-tier assistants who put the Owls on the ESPN highlight reel. The Owls’ spring practice shows that the Lane Train is moving fast to make FAU a respectable program.
Donald Trump’s token black friend Ben Carson came through Miami yesterday to tour public housing projects with two other token African Americans, Rep. Frederica Wilson and Miami Heat executive Alonzo Mourning. The highlight of the HUD secretary’s day came when and six other federal bureaucrats got stuck in an elevator…
“Miami is an ass town.” Years ago, an American expat in Miami used that phrase to point out what I, a Cuban-American Miami native, hadn’t seen with my own eyes. ¿Que se se habrá creído el gringo comemierda este? I thought he was full of shit. But he was right. And Estrella Insurance’s ongoing sexist ad campaign is the latest in a long line of proof.
Black people voted big against Donald Trump. He won only 8 percent of our vote. Whites elected him. And now they need to impeach him. And then Barack Obama should sue him for slander.
Miami-Dade County has had the same prosecutor since Bill Clinton was president. Beginning in 1993, through the Clinton, Bush, Obama, and now Trump eras, she has not once charged a police officer for an on-duty killing. What Katherine Fernandez Rundle, age 67, has done instead is make decades’ worth of excuses for public officials accused of corruption and murder.
When it comes to grassroots community work that helps children, the Liberty City Optimist Club does an incredible job with limited resources. So why won’t Miami-Dade pitch in? Next week, the county commission will vote on how to dole out $2.4 million to dozens of community-based organizations. The cash is…
The Miami Heat are a fun team. How much fun? The most fun? Probably not, because LeBron James and winning championships and stuff was peak fun, but this season has been really dang fun. The fact that the word “probably” had to be placed in front of “not” in the previous sentence should be enough reason to question if the past two months of Heat basketball are real life.
Donald Trump’s false accusation that Barack Obama tapped phones at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign is nothing more than a diversionary tactic. The 45th president wants to deflect the media attention from his closest advisers’ criminal behavior.
Miami Heat fans are a spoiled bunch. They should know — most are also Dolphins fans who have waited nearly five decades for another Super Bowl win, so they are well aware that getting three titles in 11 years is legit good. Being a spoiled Heat fan, however, doesn’t mean you’re a bandwagon jumper. In fact, there’s a good argument that being spoiled makes you a better fan. This season is the proof.
