“We’re watching one of the greatest right-handed hitters who ever lived.” That’s what an AL scout told ESPN’s Jayson Stark this week for his new piece, titled “We are witnessing greatness,” incidentally, about slugger Miguel Cabrera. The article details just what a ridiculous thing Miguel Cabrera has become, ridiculous as…
While New Times detailed evidence that several MLB stars were clients of the PED-pushing Biogenesis clinic, our original source Porter Fischer has since claimed that other athletes, including mixed-martial arts fighters, were amongst the clinic’s clients. Though, UFC President Dana White says he doesn’t really care that much to investigate…
Ahhhh Alex Rodriguez, such an easy target these days. Love him or hate him, you gotta admit the hometown slugger just makes poking fun at him so effortless. With A-Rod still dominating every tabloid in the nation thanks to a certain newspaper (ahem ahem) blowing the lid on a certain…
Playing in the Orange Bowl used to send shivers down the spines of opposing teams. The 58-straight games the Miami Hurricanes won at home between 1985 and 1994 still stands unbroken as the longest home winning streak in modern NCAA football history. Of course, the ol’ Orange Bowl was demolished…
Apparently, when you’re already the King you decide you don’t want to be president after all. Despite assertions that LeBron James was mulling a bid to run for president of the NBA Players Association, he’s now reportedly decided against the move…
LeBron might be the MVP, but Chris Bosh continue to be the NBA’s reigning MemeVP. The Heat third wheel has always been teased for resembling something like a velociraptor ever since his Toronto Raptor days, but has anyone ever bothered to animate him playing basketball as an actual raptor-human hybrid?…
Well, we guess he’s kept his official residency in Ohio, because LeBron James is serving jury duty in Akron today. Yep, not even the NBA’s MVP can get out of jury duty…
Ebony magazine has produced a powerful series of covers for its September issue in the wake of George Zimmerman’s “not guilty” verdict. Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and other celebrities appears in gray hoodies with their sons behind the headline “We Are Trayvon.” The Martin family also appears on the…
With the 2013 Miami Hurricanes season just around the corner now is as good a time as any to take a step back and reflect on what the team stands for. What represents Miami Hurricanes football? What defines the program best? Every program or team has an identity, one of…
Bud Selig’s hammer is finally going to come down today on the MLB investigation into players obtaining performance enhancing drugs from Biogenesis, a now-shuttered Coral Gables “anti-aging clinic.” Miami New Times was the first to report that the clinic was supplying PEDs to major MLB stars in an investigation published…
Welp. At least those uniforms really pop in HD!!! Coach Joe Philbin and company were supposed to go out and show the world that the New Look Dolphins were not just about a new logo that looks like a whale penis and some flashy clothes that would make a World…
Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000-hour rule stipulates that a person needs about 10,000 hours of practice to completely master a task. Dallas Cowboys player Dez Bryant however thinks that LeBron James would only need about two weeks to become an NFL-ready wide receiver…
If you build it, they will come. That was the message from Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria back in 2009 when he convinced Miami-Dade commissioners to vote for the massive pimple that now protrudes from the forehead of Little Havana. It worked for a season. And then came Loria’s $2…
Pre-season buzz seems higher than it has in years for the Miami Hurricanes, but apparently that buzz wasn’t loud enough to convince the voters in USA Today’s coaches poll to slip them into the top 25. The Canes just missed the cutoff, but did receive enough votes to put them…
When you’re already King why not be President too? Yes, LeBron James is reportedly mulling over a big for higher officer… in the NBA Players Union at least. According to Fox Sports, he’s considering running for the union’s presidency…
Last night was a bit of a turd in the punchbowl for Major League Soccer, as the MLS All Stars lost to Roma 3-1 in Kansas City. But the silver lining to that turd (let’s leave the metaphor there) is that MLS Commissioner Don Garber announced at halftime that the…
The fallout from our investigation of a little Coral Gables-based “anti-aging clinic” called Biogenesis continues. USA Today reports that Major League Baseball will announce the suspension of “about eight” linked to the PED-pushing clinic either tomorrow or Friday. However, more shocking is that the league is “prepared” to ban Alex…
When baseball historians look back at the Miami Marlins 2013 season, they should start with pitcher Chad Qualls’ botched celebration after an inning-ending strike-out last night. Truly, it is the play that will define the team’s season. Because even when they don’t completely suck, the Fish still manage to find…
In another little embarrassment to the Miami Marlins, hitting coach Tino Martinez resigned over the weekend after allegations of using heavy-handed tactics on players. So what exactly did Martinez do? Well, he spoke last night to Fox Sports and said he just got a little too outraged when players refused…
Tino Martinez got a little too personal with his players, and now he is out of a job. The Miami Marlins hitting coach quit the team yesterday following a Miami Herald report that he verbally abused players in a ball club that ranks last in the majors in runs, home…
Forget little George Alexander Louis. Dude’s swag level will never match up to little Jackson Bosh’s. After a promotional excursion to India, Chris Bosh took his family for a trip to Rome, where the world’s chillest baby picture was snapped…
In what has to be one of the most absurd match-ups in Mixed Martial Arts history, former Miami backyard street fighter Rene “Level” Martinez is facing off against ex-professional boxing champ Ricardo Mayorga in Managua, Nicaragua this Saturday. Mayorga’s boxing career washed out in 2011 after losing to Miguel Cotto…
