Let’s start over, Ryan. Let’s wipe the slate clean and celebrate new beginnings. Football is back, and everyone is undefeated, so what better time than now to forget the past and get excited about the future?
The Miami Dolphins spent last week bringing deep shame to South Florida that had nothing to do with yet another 6-10 flop season at Hard Rock Stadium. The Fins sparked a national firestorm by unveiling a new policy to suspend players up to four games for peacefully protesting police brutality…
Ryan Tannehill is the face of the Miami Dolphins, which says a lot seeing as he hasn’t played a down of football since 2016. With Jarvis Landry, Mike Pouncey, and Ndamukong Suh gone from the team, Tannehill is not only the most recognizable name on the Dolphins…
The Dolphins are back, and with them comes hopes of another championship parade in Miami. Yes, really. You read that correctly. Hey, we said “hopes,” not “expectations.” We’re not that crazy.
David Beckham and Jorge Mas got their referendum asking Miami voters to replace Melreese Country Club with a $1 billion commercial real-estate complex including a Major League Soccer stadium. But now comes the hard part: convincing Miamians this is the greatest stadium deal ever.
Three years ago, I criticized the Children’s Trust for largely ignoring grassroots youth programs that serve African-American communities, including the Liberty City Optimist Club, which I founded. A lot has changed since then.
Even if Dwyane Wade decides not to hang up his sneakers this season, his NBA career is nearing a graceful end. A decade-and-a-half run as one of the best shooting guards in NBA history is in the rear-view mirror, and now Wade is gearing up for his post-playing days. Whatever he decides to do after basketball, there’s no reason to believe he won’t absolutely kill it. He’s proven to be business-savvy in both his endorsements and investments.
Miami’s political ecosystem has long had a problem with family members getting paid to lobby other, elected family members. Last night’s hours-long sideshow at the Miami City Commission over David Beckham’s latest soccer plan was just another testament to how it’s basically taken for granted that developers are going to…
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.”
