Did you hear LeBron James claim he has never played for a superteam? But he has. We were all there. We were all witnesses. For his comments, LeBron has rightfully caught some side-eye, as well as a hearty chuckle from Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who joked…
Dion Waiters went out of his way to make sure everyone knew that Miami is a different kind of franchise and that he owes a ton of credit to the organization for taking him from a player that surprisingly couldn’t find a deal last offseason to one that is highly coveted in this year’s free-agency period. The Heat makes players money. It’s what they do. It’s who they are. Sometimes the Heat pays those overachieving players to stay here, but sometimes the team looks for the next reclamation project instead.
As another Memorial Day Weekend in Miami Beach ended in bloodshed, city leaders keep struggling with how to deal with black people. This time around, Commissioner Michael Grieco is trying to score brownie points with Miami Beach voters for his mayoral run by proposing the type of prohibition African Americans…
Though Billy Corben claims to be a good judge of bad characters, he has Keon Hardemon all wrong. The Miami documentary filmmaker recently attacked the Miami City Commission chairman for selling out the black community. Corben used alternative facts only Donald Trump would be proud of.
It’s only May, and already yet another Miami Marlins season is circling the toilet bowl. In the grand scheme of things, this is neither surprising nor all that troublesome. Few people in Miami are losing sleep over the Marlins’ nightly debacles. And those who do care have seen worse and in an odd way have come to embrace the fact that this is who they are — fans of an irrelevant baseball team counting down the days until the season is over.
Give Marco Rubio this: His mathematics are sound. The U.S. population is about 321 million people, which means the 23 million human beings set to lose access to basic health insurance under the GOP’s Obamacare repeal plan are, indeed, only about 7 percent of all Americans.
A South Florida superstar is at the center of today’s biggest and most tragic news story. A suicide bomber struck an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, last night, killing 22 and injuring more than 50 others.
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.
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…
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.
