Two years ago, New Times dropped an investigative bombshell: The Miami Dolphins are cursed because their stadium is built on an Indian burial ground. Probably. Maybe. We’re as sure as one can be that a thing is cursed without coming face-to-face with a poltergeist.
The last time there was a Miami Heat roster that did not include Udonis Haslem was 2002. According to various reports, 2018 will not be the year that impressive streak is broken. All signs point to the Heat and Haslem settling on a deal that will keep the Heat’s longest-tenured player in uniform for at least one more season…
Since taking over head-coaching duties from Al Golden at the University of Miami in 2016, Mark Richt has been exactly as advertised: an elite-level football coach who is both a capable recruiter and a tremendous in-game manager. The results have been similarly stellar: 19 wins and seven losses over his first two seasons in Coral Gables, with a bowl win under his belt to boot.
Unlike the NFL, college ball has no preseason appetizer to holds fans over until the football is real. Instead of getting a quarter-season of fake games like in the NFL, the best college fans get are a few sparse clips on Twitter of their favorite school’s team half-assing a practice in shorts before the season opener.
It’s confirmed: Dwyane Wade is staying in Miami. We don’t know if he’ll play basketball for the Miami Heat this year, but according to him, he’ll call the 305 home for the foreseeable future.
Coming off a 10-3 season that saw the Canes end the year ranked 13th in the USA Today Coaches Poll, few were surprised to see the Canes debut at 9th in the same poll this year. With much of last year’s defense returning and a plethora of talent on the…
You know what your grandma used to say: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Any Miami Dolphins fan will tell you trying to abide by that rule over the last two decades has been harder than convincing a dieter…
Unless you spent the weekend off-the-grid vacationing in the Caribbean, you’re probably keenly aware that Donald Trump and LeBron James are in the news. Not separately — that wouldn’t be weird at all. They’re currently in the news together, and for exactly the reason you’d expect: a total shit-show…
The University of Miami Hurricanes are gearing up for their September 2 season opener against the Louisiana State University Tigers at the massive AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys and just about any other marquee event drawing upward of 80,000 fans. The ACC-SEC clash will be a rare Sunday-night college football matchup, which means it will stand alone in prime time and give fans their first chance to see the 2018 squads for UM and LSU.
It’s August, and Dwyane Wade has not yet committed to playing for the Miami Heat next season. So it’s officially time to wonder if he will ever play for the Heat again or if, instead, he will choose an alternate ending to his career. He has plenty of options, such as shocking the basketball universe by…
Jarvis Landry is in Cleveland readying himself for his first season with the Browns, but if his continued penchant for mentioning his time with the Dolphins is any indication, his mind is still on Miami — not on the weather or the nightlife he’ll miss during the frigid winter he’ll spend in Ohio, but on all the ways he thinks the Fins did him wrong.
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?
Being a fan of South Florida sports teams is a microcosm of the city itself: The highs are extremely high, but the lows — oh, the lows — they are so low. Whether you’re a fan of the Dolphins, Panthers, Hurricanes, or Marlins, supporting each team has its major ups and downs.
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.
The Miami Dolphins are back. Well, sort of almost back. It’s that training-camp time of year again, a time when optimism and hype are as high as the South Florida sun is hot.
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.
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…
Miami Dolphins fans are a proud bunch. Whether you’re a 10-year-old Fins fan who only knows Dan Marino from YouTube mixtapes or a 40-year-old lifer who vividly remembers when the Dolphins making the playoffs wasn’t weird, there’s plenty to feel good about as a Dolphins backer…
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…
Luckily for Miami Heat fans, the NBA offseason feels the shortest of any of the major league breaks. The NBA Finals end toward the end of June, the NBA Draft follows soon after, the free agency rumor mill keeps us busy until August, and before you know it, the preseason…
