It’s hard to outdouche Justin Bieber on a day like today, but, damn it, Marlins President David Samson is certainly going to give it his best shot. The guy who took off in the middle of the season to go film some silly reality show, proves himself to be an…
Kobe Bryant could be seen court side last night at the University of Miami vs. Duke basketball game (along with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade), but he wasn’t just on campus for sports. Bryant had apparently dropped into a class at Boston College last week while the Lakers were playing…
As hard as it seemed to believe, reports that Miami Marlins president David Samson had taken off in the middle of the season to go film a reality TV show weren’t rumors. He was officially announced today as a cast member of CBS’s Survivor: Cagayan…
Seantrel Henderson came to Coral Gables as a recruiting miracle. He leaves with a reputation of wasted potential and a string of unexplained suspensions from the team. Now Henderson has his eyes on the NFL and has admitted to teams that most of his suspensions with the Miami Hurricanes were…
In what is becoming a trend, the Heat once again Tuesday night played a game you would like to punt into a canal, jump in after it, drag it to the bottom, and put it under a rock like an alligator. Except they won this time, 93-86. Yeah, the Celtics…
Miami Heat players’ tendency to video bomb each other during post-game interviews has become the stuff of meme legend. So when the Heat visited the White House last week, none other than First Lady Michelle Obama decided to get in on the fun. Naturally, it was to help promote her…
The Miami Heat lost to the Atlanta Hawks Monday night, 121-114. The game started at 5:30 p.m., and ended at 8:02 p.m. That recap of the game gives pretty much as much effort as the Miami Heat defense right now. I will only continue out of respect to Pat Riley…
For a few hours Friday, Luther Campbell’s rocky relationship with the University of Miami athletic department appeared to be headed off a cliff. Craig Anderson, associate athletic director for compliance, ordered Uncle Luke — who despite recent criticism of the U, still bleeds orange-and-green — to leave the building minutes…
As you might have guessed, Miami Heat players are a cast of characters. So when the Heat’s Shane Battier asked his teammates to perform for a good cause, he didn’t have to do much persuading. “It’s hard to sell someone on getting onstage and putting themselves out there,” Battier said…
Soccer fans in Miami shouldn’t have to wait much longer. Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced today that he expects an official announcement to be made on David Beckham’s plans to bring the league back to Miami sometime in the next 30 days…
No one likes a bandwagon fan. Of this just about any sane person can agree, but the Washington Wizards’ decision to add insult to injury by employing a “bandwagon cam” during last night’s bashing of the Miami Heat just kind of comes off as classless…
The guys who run the the Heat superstore secretly replaced the regular Miami Heat with the generic brand. They wanted to see if we noticed. Yeah, we noticed. The Washington Wizards came out of the gate wizarding harder than they have ever wizarded before, scoring 43 points in the first…
In the 12 months since New Times broke the Biogenesis story, details of Alex Rodriguez’s doping habits have slowly emerged. This week, however, the sordid picture suddenly snapped into sharp and absurd relief. On Monday, Rodriguez filed a federal lawsuit to overturn the 162-game ban handed down two days earlier…
Considering the speed at which the internet moves, it’s sort of curious that this is becoming a meme. LeBron James (along with some of his teammates) has long been criticized for “flopping” to drawl fouls, likely because there isn’t much else to criticize. So now all the kids on Vine…
Mother’s Day isn’t for months, but it came early for Gloria James. Contributing to Maria’s Shriver’s Shriver Report (to which Beyonce also dropped an essay this weekend), LeBron James wrote a loving tribute to his mother Gloria, a single working mom who through hard work and, as LeBron notes, some…
Dolphins fans finally got their wish with the recent departure of general manager Jeff Ireland, and then half of them went into a dramatic frenzy over how the process to replace him was playing out (maybe, at least in some corners, because someone with a vagina was involved). Go figure…
The Heat kicked off their annual circus road trip with a craptastic effort against the New York Knicks, losing 102-92. The Heat really wasted your time Thursday night, They laughed off terrible miscues all night, played awful defense, and overall just looked like the game was unimportant to them. You…
After Dan Le Batard revealed that he had given his Baseball Hall of Fame ballot to Deadspin for fans to vote on, neither of his employers, ESPN or the Miami Herald, took action, but now the Baseball Writers Association of America has come down hard. They’ve suspended Le Batard and…
For those of you who wish you could pluck Marlins team President David Samson from Marlins Park and place him somewhere on a desolate island far, far away — your dreams have come true. Apparently he’ll be a contestant on the next season of Survivor. It show how seriously he…
Maybe we’ve been watching too much House of Cards, but with all we’ve heard in the last few days about Dawn Aponte, the Miami Dolphins’ executive vice president of football administration, it’s hard not to imagine her as some sort of female Frank Underwood, ruthlessly navigating the halls of power…
With all the messes surrounding the Miami Dolphins right now, the Richie Incognito seems like ages ago, but NFL investigators haven’t forgotten about it. TMZ Sports claims that they got word from a source close to the investigation that the league has collected text messaged between Jonathon Martin and Incognito…
The Miami Heat are playing the Fillmore Miami Beach. No, not basketball, but actually singing. Shane Battier’s annual charity fundraiser Battioke is going down January 27 at the concert hall, and of course there’s a promo video featuring Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Battier himself taking on their favorite karaoke…
