Fact: The Miami Dolphins are an 8-5 football team with a real chance of making the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season.

Signs of the apocalypse were everywhere in 2016. Great Britain voted to leave the European Union, Donald Trump was elected president, and white supremacy rose from the dead. Some of America’s most iconic people dropped dead like Zika-infected mosquitoes caught in a haze of insecticide. Among others, we lost David…
The Dolphins beat the Arizona Cardinals 26-23 on a 20-yard field goal as time expired yesterday. But Miami fans were not celebrating. Just when he looked to be finally fulfilling years of teasing promise, Ryan Tannehill tore his ACL during the game. The team has confirmed he’s out for the season.
The Miami Dolphins are spending this week licking their wounds after the Baltimore Ravens blew them out last week. But even after that ugly loss, it’s clear the Fins have the brightest future of all the South Florida sports teams.
It has begun again. Sports agents have launched attacks on African-American college football players. Now someone needs to stand up for the students. College coaches, the NCAA, and the NFL Players Association (NFPLA) certainly aren’t helping enough.
Welp, it was fun while it lasted, but at some point you knew the Miami Dolphins would eventually have to put their pants back on. The Baltimore Ravens’ 38-6 ass-humbling blowout of the Dolphins yesterday was that time. The party is over. Everyone, please help pick up these red Solo cups all over the lawn.
Writing in the New York Times earlier this week, Miami-based journalist Brett Sokol interviewed Gean Moreno, one of the three curators for the forthcoming Whitney Biennial, about the lack of local representation in the coveted bi-annual NYC exhibition.

Wins haven’t been easy to come by for the Miami Heat this season, but according to a new study, Heat fans keep winning off the court. They don’t need science to prove they are among the best fans in all of sports — but science keeps stepping in to prove it’s true.
Once again, it’s time to recognize the beautiful, smart women who deliver the news in South Florida. Outside of our tropical oasis, female television reporters are forced to adopt conservative attire and tone down their sensuality. Not in Miami, where news women have no qualms about getting dolled up like…
The Miami Dolphins beat the San Fransisco 49ers 31-24 Sunday, running their improbable, holy-shit-is-this-really-happening-right-now winning streak to six straight games. But there’s far more important news from yesterday’s game, because a member of the Fox telecast drew a big ol’ penis on the telestrator during the game.
President-elect Donald Trump is making it known that white power will have a place in his administration. Last week, he made his campaign chairman — former Breitbart News Network executive chairman and white nationalist Stephen Bannon — his White House chief strategist. This is a man who didn’t want his…
Ah, Thanksgiving — a time of happiness and warmth, when families come together to put aside their differences and celebrate the love that binds them with delicious food and thoughtful conversation.

Hold onto your butts, South Florida — the Miami Dolphins are almost definitely not bad. They might not be good, but after a four-game winning streak that has swooped down and saved their season from the fiery pit of mock-drafts-in-November hell, we can pretty much guarantee the Fins aren’t that bad.
Just when you thought the Dolphins would go out of their way to Dolphins away another victory yesterday, they went and totally redeemed themselves. These might not be your same-old Miami Dolphins, people. We’re falling for it, aren’t we? Eh, we’ll enjoy it regardless. It feels right this time.
Last night, in the midst of a liberal social media meltdown over Donald Trump’s increasing likelihood of winning the presidency, actor George Takei launched a rallying cry. “We must stand up defiantly to any dark or divisive acts, and look out for the most vulnerable among us. It is more important than ever.”
Janet Reno’s death from Parkinson’s disease early Monday has left many African Americans saddened. She stood up for us when no else would. At the height of 2 Live Crew’s fame, every law enforcement official in the state wanted to throw our asses in jail. Reno was the only state…
Don’t believe the polls or media pundits who claim the presidential race is too close to call. Men across America, especially white dudes who are all in for Donald Trump, need to prepare themselves for a Hillary Clinton presidency. Fifty-five years after the Women’s Liberation Movement began, males in America…
The Dolphins and the Jets basically played a playoff game this past Sunday. The losers would find themselves with a nearly impossible path to a playoff birth. The winners would still get to claim they were in the hunt for another week or two.
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra went from driving Dad’s Bugatti to piloting Mom’s minivan. Now we’ll see if the NBA’s first Asian-American head coach is really elite — in the mold of his mentor Pat Riley or Boston Celtics legends Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, and Gregg Popovich. The team started…
