The only surprise here is that we’re not ranked first. Between Miami’s unique brand at driving, old folks who flock to other parts of the state, and people who drive pick ups with truck nuts in our more rural area, no one is going to make a claim that Floridians…

It’s not exactly a secret that last season the Miami Heat were playing with a chip on their shoulder almost as big as LeBron’s ego (we kid because we love). Now, Dwyane Wade is saying that the team’s failure against Dallas in the NBA Championships can be chalked up to…
For the third time in a little over a week, a Miami sports team has been the butt of a joke on a national sitcom. First there was South Park’s minor dig at the Dolphins, then The Office had a little fun at Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat’s expense…

Most WTF Florida entries on this blog have to do with the stupider fellow Sunshine State Citizens, but snakes often do their part to increase the state’s strange news rep (remember last weeks python/deer fiasco?). Now a brightly orange colored snake has been born in the state with two heads. …
On Sunday, a 21-year-old woman said she pulled over near NW 103rd Street near Sixth Avenue in Miami-Dade due to car trouble, and claimed she was beaten and raped by a stranger. Police issued a profile of the assailant, but now say that the victim has changed her story and…
Too scared to enter a City of Miami or Miami-Dade park or government building because you can’t protect yourself by carrying a licensed concealed weapon? Well, you probably don’t exist. But if you do, fear not — beginning November 17, you’ll be able to arm yourself in any park and…
