The Miami Heat dropped a preseason away game to the Washington Wizards last night, but perhaps the Verizon Center’s crab dip had just as much to do with it as the team. Mario Chalmers was pretty much a non-factor last night, and he blames his poor performance on downing the…

The second Super Cool Beas era is upon the Miami Heat …and Michael Beasley is as Michael Beasley as ever. During a pre-season game last night against the Detroit Piston, Beasley got called for a travel and was so angry at himself he decided to up and punch himself in…
I’m Ricky the football man, I’m Ricky the football man. I gots lot of speed ’cause I smokes me my weed. I’m Ricky the football man. Don’t mind us. We’re just writing Ricky Williams’ new theme song. The former Miami Dolphins who was frequently suspended and disciplined for his marijuana…
The start of NBA season is just weeks away, and oddsmakers are rolling out the betting lines for who will win the championship. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise then that the Heat are once again Vegas’s favorites…
Seantrel Henderson came to the Miami Hurricanes as one of the most celebrated and heavily recruited offensive tackles. In Sunday’s game against Georgia Tech, Henderson sat out the game — yet again — for unspecified team rules violations, and it looked like the Canes hardly missed him. His college career…
Earlier this morning news broke that the Miami Dolphins officially submitted a proposal to bid for Super Bowl 52 in 2018. It only took a few hours for the NFL to say, “Listen, we really appreciate your interest, but we’re looking to go in another direction.” Miami was shut out…
For the past few seasons, the Miami Heat has been known for elaborate intro videos played before games. Back when Dwyane Wade was the only star on the team, the videos looked ripped from the pages of GQ, with designer duds and flashy neon effects. But ever since LeBron James…
Man has been preoccupied with sport since the beginning of time. But just like any other subculture, sports fandom seems slightly insane to anyone who’s not a part of group. It can be downright intimidating. I’m new to Miami and NBA fandom, but with the world champs back in action,…
Miami Dolphins fans haven’t had a quarterback jersey they could wear for more than a season or two ever since Dan Marino’s retirement in 1999. So maybe it’s not much of a surprise that Ryan Tannehill jerseys are selling like hotcakes…
If you are a fan of a Florida Division I FBS football team, you had good reason to celebrate Saturday. It didn’t matter which team you were rooting for. For the first time since the FAU Owls became an FBS subdivision team in 2005, all seven Florida teams won games…
Parks and Rec actress Aubrey Plaza has a well known obsession with the Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh. Seriously, a third of her Twitter is like weird tweets about Bosh. Well, Chris Bosh made a cameo on Parks and Recreation last week, and while he didn’t share a scene with Plaza’s…
The Dolphins lost to the Ravens 26-23 yesterday after kicker Justin Tucker put the Ravens ahead for good on a 44-yard field goal with 1:42 left to go. The Dolphins had a final chance to at least tie the game thanks to some crazy heroics by quarterback Ryan Tannehill to…

According to Public Policy Polling (yes, the same people who do political polls), Florida’s favorite NFL team is the Dolphins. The state’s favorite college football team are the Florida Gators. And the state’s favorite baseball team doesn’t even play in Florida. Turns out the Atlanta Braves are twice as popular…
After a humbling loss to the Saints, how will the Dolphins bounce back? What can they do? Who do they want to be? Are they better than what that performance delineated? Are they worse than what their record tells us? The season will answer these questions with unforgiving evidence. The…
Dolphins’ defensive tackle Jared Odrick has one of the more distinctive sack dances in the game. Whenever he sacks a QB, he pulls some moves straight out of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Well, Pee-wee himself has noticed and has a message for Odrick…
The Miami Heat kicked off their 2013 training camp Tuesday in the Bahamas, because of course they did, officially kicking off their attempt at back-to-back-to-back NBA titles, or as many are terming it, “Three-Heat.” The team largely returns most of the same key components that led it to the past…
Yesterday the sports world was taken by surprise when the Marlins announced that they were selling unsold tickets to a game that had been played the day before. Ostensibly they were meant as memorabilia to commemorate Henderson Alvarez’s walk-off no-hitter. Turns out the “tickets” are just PDFs you’re meant to…
The Miami Dolphins were the first NFL team to ever lose a regular season in London. They kicked off the league’s experiment of playing in Wembley Stadium back in 2007 with a 13-10 loss to the New York Giants. Well, this past Sunday when the Vikings and Steelers played in…
David Beckham Major League Soccer contract came with a clause that he’d be able to purchase an MLS franchise of his own one day. It’s been no secret that he’s been scouting Miami as a potential location over the past few month. British tabloid the Daily Mail reports that Beckham…
Well, that fucking sucked. The fiery blaze you witnessed last night — descending unto the Earth with inestimable velocity and indiscriminate violence — was not the meteor that yielded the Chicxulub crater, but that previously sweet Dolphins high you were nursing. The Dolphins came into New Orleans feelin’ pretty damn…
