Jason Taylor, we’re not sure if Sparano and Parcells share in it, but the city of Miami loves you. We understand Big Tuna and Lil Tony don’t seem pumped on the idea of bringing you back for another season with the Dolphins, but why you got to play with our…

We certainly aren’t above trafficking in celeb rumors, but we haven’t won 20 Pulitzer prizes. In fact, when we do delve into pop culture hearsay we at least make sure it’s relevant to the local community, and report it with a heavy tone of skepticism when applicable.The Miami Herald apparently…
Marco Rubio may be well ahead in the polls, but he hasn’t even won the GOP nominations for Senate yet, let alone the actual general election. That hasn’t stopped one conservative columnist with a prominent Rubio-induced rager from talking up the Miami lad as a 2012 presidential contender.”I believe that…

Life must be so tough for you when you’re born to a megarich Hollywood superstar like Michael Douglas. It’s such a tragedy getting cast in crappy movies because of who your dad is, so please forgive Cameron Douglas. Isn’t it understandable he’s been caught time and time again with drugs? First with…
Former Mayor Manny Diaz made bicycling a key part of his agenda (so much so that he’s now under a weird ethics investigation for accepting a bicycle from his staff as his going-away gift), and now Bicycling magazine has named Miami one of the best cities for bicyclists in America.In…
Zoo is one of the funnest words in the English language, and the name “Miami MetroZoo” is just charming and pretty well known at this point.It’s worked for 30 years, and there’s nothing wrong with it. So leave it to the county commissioners’ inferiority complex to screw everything up. They’ve…
Yesterday we noted the pop-culture luminaries of the Jersey Shore have arrived in South Beach and are staying at the Catalina Hotel (until their full-time pad is ready, we hear), but TMZ reports there was a bit of surprise.

In the past 50 years, there have been only three private universities with football teams that matter: Notre Dame, USC, and, of course, Miami. Notre Dame has a rabid fan base and lots of history, USC has history too and benefits from the NFL’s absence in L.A., and Miami pulled itself out…

This April marks the ten-year anniversary of when Elián González was forcibly removed from the home of relatives in Miami and returned to his father in Cuba. The Cuban propaganda machine, ever aware of the symbolism of Elián, has no qualms about exploiting the boy, now 16, when it serves the…
Miami Beach is one of the few public places in America where topless woman aren’t so much as a spectacle as they are a regular part of sun bathing society. Sure, tourists from the heartland can’t help but gawk, but locals and international visitors are pretty used to it. Salon’s…
