Just a season ago, FIU football coach Mario Cristobal’s name was being tossed around as a possibility for some very high profile coaching gigs at bigger schools. Instead he decided to stick with the Golden Panthers. Apparently loyalty doesn’t pay. The school fired Cristobal today after a disappointing 3-9 season…
Yunel Escobar promised to be the strip-mined Miami Marlins’ most interesting player next year. The Cuban shortstop had loads of talent, plus an unmatched ability to act incredibly dumb — like last season, when he was suspended for writing the anti-gay slur “Tu Ere Maricon” on his eyeblack.Well, Escobar’s Miami…
The Marlins have pretty much traded away every notable player on the roster not named Giancarlo Stanton, and it appears that Jeffrey Loria and his staff might be prepared to let the young slugger go, too. For the right price that is…
Come January 7, either the Alabama Crimson Tide or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be hoisting the championships trophy in the middle of Sun Life Stadium. For local sports fans, either way it will be a stomach churning affair. Could there have been a more nightmarish mashup for fans…
Going into Sunday’s contest there was a feeling the Patriots’ offense could easily drop 60 points on the Dolphins’ atrocious secondary. Instead, Tom Brady had probably his worst game of the season, the defense kept the Fins in it for most of the game and rookie QB Ryan Tannehill had…
Let’s not kid ourselves.There’s a very good chance Tom Brady and Co. are going to come in to Sun Life on Sunday and absolutely destroy the living crap out of our football team. However, the one thing we have going for us is that (hopefully) no one on our team…
The Heat managed to pull out a 105-100 victory last night despite the Spurs fielding a team without Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker or Tim Duncan — all of which were sent home by Coach Gregg Poppovich to San Antonio after playing 4 games in the last 5 nights. Without San…
Yes, it totally makes sense that if Jacksonville Jaguars fans wanted their own version of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ famed “Terrible Towel” they would call it the “Jag Rag.” We’re just not sure if the creators realized that name would induce fits of laughter in anyone who is or ever was…
When the Marlins signed Mark Buehrle last year, the starting pitcher soon realized that his pet pit bull Slater wasn’t welcome in Miami thanks to the county’s pit bull ban. At least in South Florida he had the option of moving his family up to Broward County, where the dogs…
We know that the Hurricanes’ football season was kind of a bust. And we know that despite some stronger than normal preseason hype, Hurricanes basketball already dropped a game to Florida Gulf Coast this month. We know some of you might not be ready to place your trust in the…
Is LeBron James’ image rehabilitation complete? After claiming the MVP award and his first ring last season, the King is back atop the NBA’s list of best-selling jerseys. The list is released twice a year, and James hasn’t been on top since April 2011. In fact, he had dropped to…
Beware: cargo shorts are such an absolute scourge on men’s fashion that not even Michael Jordan can get away with wearing cargo shorts anymore. And he’s Michael Jordan!MJ just got kicked out of Miami Beach’s fancy-pants (and we mean that quite literally) La Gorce Country Club for breaking their dress…
The Miami Heat’s lease on the American Airlines Arena doesn’t expire for another 18 years, but the team has informed Miami-Dade County that they’d already like to tack an additional 10 years onto the agreement. Of course, under that current agreement the team hasn’t paid a single dime to the…
For three quarters yesterday, the Miami Dolphins were their usual uninspiring selves in an excruciatingly boring game to watch — the offense couldn’t execute, the defensive backs were giving up big plays and the team was so unbearably boring the sprinkler system kicked on to provide everyone with some source…
Your Miami Dolphins return to Sun Life Stadium after a 10 day layoff from the embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills to host a resurgent, young and scrappy Seahawks team. After three straight losses, the future is looking bleak in Dolphinsland. Let’s take a look at some keys to Sunday’s…
It’s Black Friday, the time of the year when online retailers try to dump a ton of inventory by marking it down and accepting pennies on the dollar for it. In other words, the likes of Best Buy and Wal-Mart do exactly what Jeffrey Loria does every other season. It’s…
Pitcher Mark Buehrle is packing his bags for Toronto thanks to the trade that shall not be named, and he’s none too happy about it. Buehrle and his agent Jeff Berry issued a statement today claiming that the Marlins straight up lied to him. …
For the NCAA, it’s not innocent until proven guilty. Apparently, it’s guilty unless you cooperate with us. It seems there’s no such thing as pleading the fifth in the NCAA’s bylaws.In a move completely unheard of before, the NCAA has sent out letters to former Miami Hurricanes players informing them…
While Ozzie Guillen’s Miami story may have come to a quick and bizarre end, his life story may be coming to the big screen. Actor John Ortiz is reportedly meeting with Ozzie in the hopes of turning the controversial skipper’s life into a Hollywood movie…
Remember when the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders made a lip-dub video to Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” during their bikini-filled calendar shoot? Well, U.S. troops in Afghanistan certainly do. In fact, they were so taken by the video they decided to do a shot-by-shot remake.Of course, some substitutes had to…
Well, Bud Selig was no help.The MLB has officially approved the trade between the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays which saw pretty much every Marlins player of not named Giancarlo Stanton up north…
For the second year in a row, the Miami Hurricanes demolished South Florida on Saturday for their sixth win of the year, earning the chance to play in a postseason bowl. And for the second year in a row, the Canes followed the win with a Monday morning announcement that…
