Dan Le Batard Gave His Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot to Deadspin

Nothing gets a certain segment of baseball enthusiasts more heated than the voting process for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Not being baseball enthusiasts ourselves (we grew up with the Marlins, after all), we don’t fully understand it, but it seems like a pretty touchy subject. Anyway, to protest the…

Jeff Ireland Is Gone, and Twitter Reacts With Utter Glee

We came here today to bury GM Jeff Ireland’s time with the Dolphins, not to praise him. Well, actually we came here to relentlessly mock him on Twitter. After years of the #Fireland hashtag breaking out on the social networking site just about anytime the Dolphins did anything wrong (which…

Heat Finally Unveils “Nickname Jersey” Monikers

Sure, it’s a blatant merchandising grab, but we’ve been pretty excited about the idea of Miami Heat players wearing special-edition nickname jerseys. We’ve already received news that Ray Allen would wear “J. Shuttlesworth” and that LeBron would sport “King James,” but today the team unveiled the full list of nicknames…

Florida State Wins the National Championship

Jameis Winston passes to Kelvin Benjamin, and the FSU Seminoles win the national title. What a game Winston had, and what a comeback! FSU trailed virtually the whole game but came back with a 100-yard kick return and then the pass to the six-foot, 234-pound Benjamin to put the team…

LeBron James Walks Into a Bar… and Gets Carded

Did you hear the one about how a LeBron James walks into a bar? The punchline is he got carded. Despite being one of the most famous athletes in the world, despite his beard, and despite (sorry, sorry) that hairline, James was still asked for ID to prove he was…

Heat-Toronto: A Dunk Like No Other (Video)

While you were watching the NFL playoffs all weekend, the Miami Heat players were busy getting the taste of that Warriors ass-kicking out of their mouths by gargling with the Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors on back-to-back nights. Following a 110-94 win in Orlando Saturday night, the Heat held off…

Al Golden to Talk to Penn State, Possibly Today

Sounds the alarm, Hurricanes fans. ESPN’s Joe Schad reports that Al Golden has agreed to meet with Penn State representatives and that it could come as early as today. In the past, when his name has come up in other coaching searches, Golden has loudly denied interest. He’s kept tellingly…

Stephen Curry Is a Monster as Warriors Outgun Heat

The Warriors unleashed unholy three-point terror on the Heat Thursday night, raining long balls aplenty in a 123-114 win. Stephen Curry was unconscious all night long, scoring 36 points on 8-15 from three to go along with his 12 assists. Former Florida Gator David Lee constantly killed the Heat inside,…

Will Al Golden Leave Miami for Penn State?

Not since notorious job-skipper Lou Saban quit the Hurricanes for Army in 1978 amid controversy has any head football coach left the University of Miami directly for another school. They’ve all either been handed a pink slip or a head-coaching job on the pro level. It was for years one…

The Ten Worst South Florida Sports Moments of 2013

The year 2013 brought us some of the most unimaginable sports moments ever, and some we wish were only in our imagination. From Ray Allen’s Game 6 three pointer to tie Game Six, to a FG snap hitting Brandon Fields square in the face, 2013 had a little bit of…

Five New Year’s Resolutions for Miami’s Sports Stars

Reports: Dwyane Wade Fathered a Third Child With Mystery Women

Dwyane Wade recently got engaged to long-time girlfriend Gabrielle Union and his two sons and a nephew helped out in the adorable Christmas-time proposal.

Jeff Ireland Should Get Fired After Dolphins Collapse Against the Jets

Welp. That about wraps ‘er up. On Sunday, the Dolphins completed one of the most disappointing, weirdest, deflating and confounding seasons in Dolphins history (no small achievement, all things considered) by once again coming out largely flat and lifeless against a division rival. The Dolphins fell to the Jets 20-6…

Heat’s Haslem, Birdman and Miller are Now Underwear Models

Well, Miami is about to have a former Armani underwear model as a professional sports team owner, so we guess it only makes sense that some of our current athletes would model some mens’ underthings. It’s not quite Beckham on the beach in briefs, but the Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Anderson,…

A Christmas Story: Heat Beats Lakers 101-95

It’s Christmas every day for Heat fans, but Wednesday was the day it was scheduled for everyone else, so we were kind enough to share. The Heat coasted all game long to a 101-95 Christmas Day victory over the L.A. Lakers. Dwyane Wade led the way with 26 points, six…

LeBron Scores 38, Heat Edge Hawks in OT 120-119

The Heat sure do know how to turn a random Monday night game against the Hawks into some serious entertainment. LeBron James had 38 points, eight rebounds, and six assists in the Heat’s 120-119 overtime, surprisingly eventful, Monday night win. With the victory, the Heat sweep their five-game homestand, and…
