The 2013 season is over but you can still buy Marlins tickets. The team is still selling unsold tickets to Henderson Alvarez’s bizarre no-hitter for $15 a pop, which would be a really, really great deal if time travel existed…
Eight months after a Miami New Times investigation revealed that Coral Gables anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was slinging performance-enhancing drugs to pro athletes, the fallout keeps growing. Fourteen baseball players were suspended by August. Hometown superstar Alex Rodriguez’s career hangs in the balance this week as he appeals his historic 211-game…
When Real Madrid and Chelsea came to Sun Life Stadium for an exhibition game back in August the game came to an odd, temporary stop when a 19-year-old fan ran onto the field to hug superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and whisper sweet little nothings in his ear. Now the Real Madrid…
Your Miami Dolphins enter tonight’s showdown between two 3-0 teams primed for an opportunity to show the world these are not the same old Dolphins limping into a primetime NFL matchup only to play like a paper bag full of shit. No, these Dolphins are coming into the Big Easy…
Like the amazing dinner you had on the last night of an otherwise disastrous vacation, the night of surprisingly tender lovemaking just weeks before you both decide divorce is inevitable or that one good song toward the end of your favorite band’s undeniably disappointing new album, Marlins pitcher’s Henderson Álvarez…
According to a report from MLB.com’s Marlins beat writer, the Marlins won’t be trading Giancarlo Stanton, the only good player on their sad little team, next season. They even plan to “build” around him, but that doesn’t mean they’ll shell out any more money on their already-second-to-last lowest payroll in…
The Miami Heat season not only comes with the drama of trying to threepeat but also with the added tension of the fate of the team’s big three during the following offseason. Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James all have the option to become free agents this summer, and…
During last Saturday’s game, the Miami Hurricanes’ marching band and student fans performed a UM-specific rendition of viral hit “The Fox,” entitled “What Does the Ibis Say?” And apparently I’m getting really old, because up until I saw this I literally thought this song was just a really annoying jingle…
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated unveiled their list of the best basketball players heading into the 2013-14 season. LeBron James was first, naturally. Though, Dwyane Wade’s spot at eight didn’t sit too well with the Oklahoma Thunder’s Kevin Durant, who himself took the number two spot. Durant suggested that his…
When Jeffrey Loria was seeking public funds to build Marlins Park, it came with the promise the Marlins would get better. Well, the team is only its second season at the shiny new park and they’ve hit a milestone the team has only hit once before in its 21-year history:…
The NBA season is still a month away, but already Miami is bubbling with news about our back-to-back champion ballers. Michael Beasley has returned, hopefully minus the marijuana habit. Draft pick James Ennis is already king of the koalas. And you might soon be able to buy a jersey with…
Apparently when you win two championships in a row you can hold training camp in a place that usually caters to people looking to relax and party rather than, you know, train. Yep, the Miami Heat will be holding their training camp at the fancy, almost theme park-like Atlantis Paradise…
Last names are so over. The NBA is reportedly entertaining the possibility of allowing the Miami Heat to display nicknames on the back of their jersey for at least one game against the Brooklyn Nets next season — probably because finding an excuse to offer a new limited edition LeBron…
The best thing you can say about the Miami Marlins is that they’re not technically the worst. The Houston Astros have a worse record and TV ratings, and the Tampa Bay Rays have lower attendance. So when ESPN magazine decided to rank every professional franchise in all four major North…
More often than not the loser of the annual FIU-FAU game gets crowned the worst FBS team in Florida. This year something weird and strange is happening. USF, who once touted itself as part of Florida’s “big four,” sucks in historic measures. They opened their season with a 53-21 loss…
The rumors at the beginning of the season went that unless the Dolphins managed to turn things around this year General Manager Jeff Ireland would finally find himself with a pink slip. Of course, now that the team is off to a 3-0 start those #Fireland Twitter hashtags are getting…
For much of the game yesterday, the Falcons bruised, battered and manhandled the Dolphins along the line of scrimmage, and there was the sense that this Dolphins game would end like so many others we’ve witnessed in the last decade or so: with a loud, wet fart heard for miles…
There were clear skies and good weather for the Orlando University High and Boone High football game on Friday. The band was in the middle of a chill marimba-assisted halftime show, when all the sudden the skies decided to remind everyone that this was Friday the 13th and sent a…
The Dolphins are now 2-0 for only the second time in a decade, and optimism about the team is all over the place. RYAN TANNEHILL WAS BORN FROM THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST! JOE PHILBIN FINALLY NABBED THOSE RASCALLY KIDS — WATCH OUT, WORLD! COCKCAKES = SUPER BOWL! BRIAN HARTLINE…
It’s September 19, 1983. Scarface had yet to premiere in theaters. The Heat, Marlins and Panthers didn’t even exist. The Miami Hurricanes had yet to win a national championship. LeBron James hadn’t even been born. So many icons associated with modern day Miami had yet to exist. On that night,…
Those Taiwanese animators move fast. News of the bizarre “double catfishing” involving the Miami Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Andersen only broke late yesterday afternoon, and they’ve already gone and animated the thing. The bizarre video features Andersen portrayed as Big Bird, naturally. See also: Heat’s Chris “Birdman” Andersen Victim in Bizarre…
In 2012, when current Miami Heat star Chris “Birdman” Andersen was playing for the Denver Nuggets, a Colorado Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children team seized property from Andersen’s home, which led to rampant speculation in the media.
