If the 2017 Miami Dolphins football team were a farm animal, it would be led out to pasture and excused from any kind of actual work. No one would disagree with the decision to gently retire it. The poor guy is clearly too injured and useless to help any longer.
If U didn’t already know, now U know: The Miami Hurricanes are the best football team in the nation, and when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee releases its latest playoff rankings later this week, the Canes should occupy the top spot. No more doubts. No more excuses. The Canes are due some respect, and the bill is far overdue.
It’s time to call it: The U is back. For real this time. No hyperbole. No bullshit. Facts only. After the Hurricanes’ 28-10 undressing of the No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies Saturday night, the rest of the nation is finally in on the open secret that South Florida has known all season: The Hurricanes are true contenders, regardless of whether the talking heads respect the teams that UM has beaten.
After Saturday night’s 28-10 undressing of the No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies, the Miami Hurricanes are officially back on the college football map. The huge win moved the Hurricanes up two slots in the AP rankings to No. 7 and kept them steady in the Coaches’ poll at No. 6. Right now,…
Coming off an embarrassing, nationally televised 40-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, the Dolphins got a chance against the Oakland Raiders this past Sunday night to prove to the nation they’re actually not a bad football team.
The College Football Playoff Selection Committee doesn’t respect the Miami Hurricanes. UM fans know this for a fact after the undefeated Canes were slotted only tenth in the committee’s initial playoff rankings. Even though the Canes are one of only five undefeated teams in college football, the decisive championship rankings place Miami behind six one-loss teams. UM will need help to make the four-team playoffs in January.
Halloween is as wonderful as it is odd. As coworkers dress up as coke-snorting Dolphins coaches and smokin’ Jay Cutler, the imaginary line of acceptable behavior moves so far beyond the norm that it barely exists. It’s also the day where we decide what’s a trick and what’s a treat. Candy…
The Miami Heat is about to make a huge, completely avoidable mistake, and it can all be fixed by reversing a decision that doesn’t even go into effect next season. There is still time to keep coach Tony Fiorentino on the team’s broadcast in 2018.
On last night’s nationally televised Thursday Night Football, the rest of America got a taste of what Miami Dolphins fans routinely deal with on a weekly basis. The Dolphins’ embarrassing 40-0 beatdown at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens this past Thursday was just the latest episode of what has been a season of some of the most disgusting offensive football the franchise has ever seen.
It shouldn’t be this way. Watching Dwyane Wade play basketball was never supposed to hurt. It was never supposed to make Miami Heat fans’ pettiness flare. There was never supposed to be so much animosity toward the greatest second-greatest athlete in the history of South Florida sports.
Jay Cutler is done playing for the Miami Dolphins. Well, he’s done for at least a couple weeks after fracturing multiple ribs against the Jets this past weekend. But Cutler should be done playing for the Dolphins, period. Full stop. Like, it should never, ever happen again. What is the point, really?
Early in the first quarter of the Dolphins’ 31-28 comeback win over the Jets, Kenny Stills punched his ticket to the ESPYs with one of the most spectacular catches you’ll ever see. At first, the pass was ruled incomplete, but while the officials were watching the video that proved otherwise, Stills was busy making more headlines as he took off his helmet to unveil a Mad Max look.
In the words of the Miami Heat’s legendary TV host and courtside reporter, Jason Jackson: It’s time to ball, y’all. Miami will kick off its much-anticipated 2017-18 campaign tonight in Orlando when the Heat faces the Magic at 7 p.m.
Ask any Miami Dolphins fan under 40 and they’ll tell you the same thing: The Dolphins’ undefeated 1972 season seems like a myth. The team going an entire season without losing a game doesn’t seem possible. Not according to what these fans have witnessed in their lifetime.
Miami has the Dolphins, the greatest football team. For one half. In Atlanta. On October 15, 2017, at least. Hey, when you’re a Dolphins fan, you celebrate the small victories along the way. You never know when the next one will come along.
Meet the 2017 Miami Heat, which is almost exactly like the 2016 Miami Heat! Pat Riley and the team brass liked last year’s overachieving squad so much they decided to run it back again, but this time with a few different ingredients.
This past Sunday, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross abruptly changed his tune on the NFL player protests. Ross, who’d previously supported players kneeling to raise awareness of police violence and racial inequality, told the Miami Herald’s resident Kaepernick-basher, Armando Salguero, that since President Donald Trump had made the protests “about patriotism,” he now disagreed with the move.
Oh, no. Not again. Just when you thought it was safe to stick those Miami Hurricanes flags on your car, fill it with gas, and head north on the Turnpike for this Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. game against the Florida State Seminoles, Mother Nature has once again wagged her dreaded hurricane finger in the general direction of the Sunshine State.
Lucky’s Market recently opened another Florida location. The Oakland Park store is the third Lucky’s in Broward, joining Coral Springs and Plantation as the cities lucky (pun intended) enough to host South Florida’s newest affordable outside-the-box organic grocery chain.
Hurricane Irma delayed the University of Miami’s game at Florida State, which didn’t seem like the worst thing for the Canes at the time. UM was coming off a less-than-impressive season-opening victory over Bethune-Cookman, and Miami’s Week 2 game against Arkansas State had also been canceled because of Irma. And FSU was then the number three team in America.
Jay Cutler came to Miami infamous for his rocket arm and indifferent demeanor. Through three games, Dolphins fans have seen glimpses of Cutler’s strong arm and a heaping helping of his negative-cares face. In Miami’s 20-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints in London Sunday, one particular play stood out as “that’s so Cutler.”
This weekend, it’s breakfast with the Dolphins. After last week’s disastrous 20-6 loss to the New York Jets, though, you might want to eat before the Dolphins take on the New Orleans Saints at 9:30 a.m. in London, just to be sure your meal isn’t spoiled.
