With the addition of Chris Bosh to the Eastern Conference’s reserve roster your Miami Heat big three are all officially all stars. Yeah, the Boston Celtics have more All Star players (four on the reserve roster), the Heat have the most in the starting line-up. Of course with two teams…
You may or may not care about the future of the struggling newspaper industry and how they (or, well, we) hope to put a greater emphasis on online multimedia features, but perhaps you would like to know that “The number one video on MiamiHerald.com last year got about 26,000 views and…
Most of the rest of the country is currently blanketed in something called “snow,” while we are sitting in short sleeves and flip flops enjoying our 79 degree weather. That obviously has the rest of the country why they don’t live somewhere where they can lay on the beach in…
You, yes you Miami-Dade and City of Miami tax payer, paid for the majority of the cost for the Marlins’ under construction stadium. So perhaps you’d like to check in on how the thing is coming along. Surprisingly the project seems to be coming along on schedule, and while we’re still not sure…

Nothing pisses us off more than these statisically-flawed, silly little city rankings lists. Just in the past few weeks we’ve learned that Miami is one of America’s most rude, vain, and miserable cities. Fittingly, Men’s Health now tells us that when it comes to anger issues we’re in the top…
Senior Democratic Senator Bill Nelson may be the most popular state-wide elected politician in Florida right now, but considering all the others are newly elected, that’s not exactly surprising or necessarily an indication that his reelection bid in 2012 is in the best shape. His approval ratings may be better…
Governor Rick Scott and the press corp that covers him are now in a full out war, according to Politico. The press isn’t happy at the perception that Scott is trying to limit their access to a state Government, that in principal at least, has traditionally tried to be transparent…
With only six weeks to recruit and a limited number of scholarships to dole out head coach Al Golden has done a solid, though not spectacular, job at putting together his first recruiting class. The group is led by two five-star (as rated by Scout.com, anyway) defensive ends: Anthony Chickillo…

Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan has pleaded guilty to reckless driving and will avoid DUI charges stemming from an incident in which he almost hit a police car on Miami Beach in 2009, reports TMZ. The deal with prosecutors will ensure that the actor doesn’t face any jail time. …
According to Forbes, the only good things about living in Miami are the weather and the fact we don’t have a state income tax. Other than that, apparently Miami is a miserable hellhole. So much so that we’re the second most miserable city in America, according to the finance mag’s…
Rick Scott hasn’t even been in office a month and he hasn’t exactly endeared himself to the Florida populace yet. Most Floridians barely know enough about the guy to decide if they like him or not, and voters here in South Florida don’t particularly like him at all. Though, a…
With Republicans now back in control of the US House of Representatives one of their first orders of business seems to be a drastic legal redefinition of rape. The proposal has been met with outrage by many anti-rape activists, including South Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz who says she “consider[s]…
Name recognition and family connections seems to go along in politics. Salon’s Steve Kornacki points out that “there have been 15 presidential elections since 1952, and in all but two — 1964 and 2008 — the Republican ticket has included someone named ‘Nixon,’ ‘Dole,’ or ‘Bush,'” and wonders if we’re headed to…

The Miami-Dade police bomb squad was called into inspect a suspicious package at a bank in Southwest Miami-Dade. What they found inside wasn’t so much detonable as it was disgusting. The box contained disemboweled parts of chickens and a goat. …
Former UF coach Urban Meyer and former UM coach Randy Shannon saw their careers as heads of two of Florida’s big three college football teams come to an end after this season for very different reasons, but they both appear to be headed to the same place: ESPN of course…
It’s really heartwarming to know that people of all different races, religions and sexual orientations can regularly agree on one thing: that South Beach is just one hell of a sexy place. While the readers of mainstream mags like Travel + Leisure regularly cite Miami as being home to the…
Malcolm Riddell, a 58-year-old married resident of Sarasota, never got around to password protecting his wireless router. That led to the FBI knocking on his door, holding him up against a wall, and searching his computer for images of child porn according to The Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Riddell wasn’t some pervert…
Chad Ochocinco isn’t known for subtlety. The guy can’t even catch lunch at the relatively low key David’s Cafe II on South Beach without a healthy helping of ridiculous. Yeah, the Miami native plowed through the back streets of South Beach in a giant gas-guzzling “super-truck” this weekend. The thing apparently…
The NBA doesn’t want you to think about their players’ crotches. As far as they are concerned their players don’t even have crotches, and any player caught in any way pointing to their crotch apparently gets fined $25,000. That’s what happened to the Heat’s Eddie House for his “obscene” “crotch-related…
