The Florida Marlins would have you believe they abruptly demoted fan favorite Logan Morrison after last night’s loss to the Giants because his batting average dipped below .250 — an excuse so blatantly untrue that Jeffrey Loria must have been cackling in his Hamptons mansion as he helped ghost-write the…
The good news is football season started again last night. The bad news is the Miami Dolphins still pretty much blow.The Dolphins visited the Atlanta Falcons for the first game of the 2011 pre-season and, while the Fins ultimately delivered the 28-23 victory, it was mostly thanks to the second…
Lest you think Miami Dolphins fans were being overdramatic in their disappointment that the team couldn’t get a starting quarterback better than Chad Henne, we now have cold, hard rankings to back our whining. USA Today ranked all 32 teams’ starting quarterbacks, and Henne came in 31st out of 32…
While Howard Schnellenberger may be the coach at Florida Atlantic University, news of his impeding retirement will surely resonate down in Coral Gables. Before Schnellenberger arrived at the University of Miami in 1979, the school was better known for its palm trees and good weather than its small-time football program…
The answer to the question in the headline, depending on your outlook, is either “probably not” or “who the hell cares?” Yet, by virtue of the fact that newly minted Miami Dolphin Reggie Bush used to date the crown jewel of the Kardashian empire, the team’s media relations people better…
After six seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Channing Crowder has announced his retirement from football after being cut from the team last month. Yet Crowder is only 27 and has his entire life in front of him. It’s not too late for our favorite Fins loudmouth to find a new…
Maybe the Miami Dolphins need to rethink their policy of letting fans attend open practices during training camp. First a bunch of fans showed up and began chanting, “We want Orton,” which really, really hurt Chad Henne’s feelings. Now footage from the training camp has leaked online. Which means opponents…
The NBA lockout gives players a chance to pursue some of their passions. LeBron James is brushing up on his NFL commentator skills. Dwyane Wade is designing watches. Chris Bosh is busy flying tattoo artists to far-away islands to add to the ever-growing montage of nightmarish images he calls a…
This past June, Ricky Williams said he wanted to finish his career by winning a Super Bowl with the Dolphins. Yet the team’s moves this off-season showed it had little interest in keeping Williams (or winning a Super Bowl, judging by the handling of the QB situation), and the onetime…
Lets say you’re the biggest Miami Heat fan ever. You own every Heat star’s signature shoe in every available color. You have signed memorabilia dating back to ’88. You even have Chris Bosh’s jersey in all three shades. But do you possess a $27,500 limited-edition watch designed by Dwyane Wade?…
Last season, the Miami Heat’s roster included a few superstar names and a lot of over-the-hill veterans. That worked out relatively fine but wasn’t quite enough. Maybe a few superstar over-the-hill veterans could help? The team’s top brass thinks it might be worth a shot and is reportedly considering looking…
Well, the Miami Dolphins have signed another quarterback, and, in the process, delivered another disappointing development for fans starving for a decent QB. The latest man to join the Fins’ roster is Kevin O’Connell, a free-agent who has done a tour of duty in the AFC East by warming the…
Well, Dolphins fans have been hoping all summer that the team would add a proven veteran quarterback. Sometimes you better be careful what you wish for. Sure, this Sun-Sentinel report is more of a “what if…” hypothesis shallowly designed for shock and page views, but the odd thing is that…
Could Dwyane Wade be taking his talents to the Middle Kingdom? Reports suggest that MV3 has been offered an appealing $2 million-a-month salary to play for a Chinese team during the NBA lockout. It doesn’t appear Wade is ready to take the offer, which should make Heat fans sigh in…
If you prick Chad Henne does he not bleed? If you tickle him does he not laugh? If you stand outside practice and openly boo him does he not get all butthurt about it? Of course, from Henne’s on-the-field inconsistencies we should know that the man is very much human,…
We were part of the raucous record crowd of 70,080 that was in attendance at last night’s Herbalife World Football Challenge soccer match between FC Barcelona and Chivas Guadalajara at Sun Life Stadium. And holy assballs was the place one gargantuan soccer party complete with trumpets, fireworks, and fans yelling…
Tonight, an impish horde of tiny men dressed in blue and maroon stripes will run around in circles at Sun Life Stadium for 90 minutes. Don’t worry — this is not a Dolphins preseason halftime show gone horribly wrong. Nor did Billy the Marlin drink one too many beers and…
It wasn’t looking good, but some Dolphins faithful were still holding out hope that the team would make a trade for Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton. It seems that any remaining flicker of hope was blown out today by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He says Orton will remain with the Broncos…
Last week, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Kevin Love, perhaps eager to have anyone pay attention to him, said that pretty much every player in the NBA was celebrating the Miami Heat’s NBA Finals loss and LeBron’s collapse. Well, turns out that LeBron still has at least one defender in the league…
Football’s greatest on-again, off-again team-player love affair is officially back on. Jason Taylor is coming back to the Miami Dolphins for his third stint. The 36-year-old is expected to fill the team’s need for a depth pass rusher. So does this mean he’s officially the most popular guy on the…
So long, Channing Crowder. According to CBS Miami, the Dolphins have cut the always entertaining linebacker. A former Florida Gator, Crowder was drafted by the Fins in 2005 and has played his entire pro career in Miami…
Well, that didn’t take long. According to the Oregonian, quarterback Matt Moore has signed a two-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. This pretty much ends any speculation that the Fins would sign a proven QB better than Chad Henne…
