Reportedly, the Miami Heat and Carmelo Anthony are both considering swiping right on the NBA free agency Tinder app. They should do it. The timing is right. They need each other. The whole idea makes too much sense. Seal the deal. Carmelo Anthony is coming off, somehow, both…
According to a new study conducted by an Emory University professor, Dolphins fans rank pretty much exactly where the Dolphins have on the field for the last two decades: right smack-dab in the middle. For a team that routinely finishes 7-9, having the 14th-best fans actually…
Everyone already knows that Bam Adebayo is the future of the Miami Heat. The team’s number 14 selection in last year’s NBA draft has already proven to be a keeper in his short professional career. What has yet to be determined, however, is what Adebayo’s role should be in the present…
Philip Levine is going to be the next governor of Florida. And the Democratic Party is running scared because Levine doesn’t need the liberal money machine to win. That’s why I am endorsing him. The self-made millionaire is leading the Democratic field in just about every major poll even though…
After the Dolphins traded away disgruntled running back Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason, many wondered how in the hell the Dolphins planned to run the ball. Without a traditional workhorse back or proven veteran backup on the roster, the reins would be handed over to…
Last night, journalists at the Annapolis Capital Gazette put out a damn newspaper a few hours after a gunman stormed their newsroom and murdered five of their colleagues. It was an act of brave defiance that stood in eloquent contrast to President Trump’s repeated claims that journalists are “enemies of the people.”
The Major League Baseball season just passed the midway point, and as far as the Marlins’ record is concerned, there hasn’t been any great surprise: The Fish are dead last in the NL East. Sadly, there have been no miracles or Cinderella stories thus far for the Marlins. They’re a straight-up bad baseball team. As most observers expected, there is no getting around the fact that 2018 will not be the year the Marlins break their 15-year playoff drought.
It’s been funny watching Democrats like Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz hold news conferences outside child-migrant shelters in Miami-Dade to denounce President Donald Trump’s policy of separating families that illegally cross the border.
It’s time to have a serious talk about the future of the Miami Heat organization — not between fans and the media, but within the organization. It’s time for the Heat to plan for four years from now, not four months from now.
We’re beginning to think Las Vegas just isn’t a fan of the 2018 Miami Dolphins. First, they peg the Fins with one of the lowest over-under numbers in the NFL; now they’ve taken it a step further and placed Adam Gase as the second-to-likeliest coach in the NFL to be fired this season — not cool, Vegas!
For a minute, it looked as if Donald Trump might evolve into a humanitarian. He commuted the life sentence without parole of Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old black woman convicted of a nonviolent drug crimes. He also announced support for the First Step Act, a bipartisan bill that would allocate $50 million a year to several prison reform programs. He even suggested he would back legislation making marijuana legal.
If you haven’t taken five minutes to listen to the audio published yesterday of young children screaming in terror and begging for their parents while a Border Patrol agent laughs at them, it’s your duty as an American to hear it. This is the United States in 2018, where President Trump’s official policy is to rip kids away from their parents and lock them in cages.
Udonis Haslem wants to continue playing basketball. Confirmed. You can forget about him hanging it up. Return all of those golf clubs and fishing lure retirement gifts — he’ll be putting on a jersey next season. Which jersey Udonis dons, though, is a surprising story now. Even more surprising is the fact that his jersey could belong to a team in China, Europe, or any another country overseas.
This weekend, prominent Catholic leaders such as Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski took aim at President Trump’s directive to rip children away from their parents at the border. One top Jesuit called the policy, under which Border Patrol agents have locked hundreds of children in cages, “pure evil” and “wantonly cruel.”
Now that the NBA season is over, the LeBron James free-agency watch has begun. Every team will be lining up to make a pitch at him. Whether he opts into his lucrative contract and demands a trade or decides to enter free agency on his own, LeBron will have his pick of teams around the NBA. He can go wherever he wants.
If there is one thing we’ve learned about LeBron James over the course of his career, it’s that those who doubt him do so at their own risk. Whether screaming that LeBron was making a mistake coming to the Miami Heat or giving the Cleveland Cavaliers no chance at coming back from a 3-1 deficit in the 2016 NBA Finals…
Where have all the Miami sports rivalries gone? There aren’t any left in any South Florida professional sports. The only truly simmering local rivalry is the University of Miami Hurricanes versus the Florida State Seminoles.
The Florida Marlins are back this week, but only for a handful of days. If it were up to the fans, though, the Florida Marlins would be here to stay. In fact, the fans are right: Now that the hated Jeffrey Loria regime is gone, the Miami Marlins should move back to their roots and rebrand themselves the Florida Marlins — complete with a return to their distinctive teal attire.
If you spent seven years doing only one job, you and your co-workers would probably know by now if you were any good at it. Other people have gone from high-school students to doctors in less time.
Hassan Whiteside isn’t happy with the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat isn’t happy with Hassan Whiteside. If this were a marriage, lawyers would have already been involved. Unfortunately, especially for the Heat, parting ways with the team’s disgruntled center won’t be as easy as filing for divorce. Their relationship is a mess, with no sign of reconciliation in sight.
The National Football League is downright un-American. Its billionaire owners are out-of-touch with the players and the African-American community. This is an organization in which the employers see themselves as plantation masters and the employees as their slaves.
This past Wednesday, the NFL took extraordinary measures to stop its employees from silently protesting during the National Anthem in hopes of forcing a conversation about racial inequality and injustice. The NFL said every player “shall stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem,” and if they choose not to…
