The Dolphins have scored 158 points total this season. Between field goals and extra points, kicker Dan Carpenter has scored 68 of those points. Basically, the dude is responsible for a ridiculous 42 percent of the Dolphin’s scoring this season, including the Jets game where he was the only person…
Hector Lombard insists he is getting no love from his compatriots in South Florida. Born in Matanzas, Cuba, Bellator’s middleweight champ is a fast-rising star in professional mixed martial arts. Yet he is not getting any recognition from South Florida’s Cuban community, Lombard laments as he prepares for his Saturday-night…
For a team that has had one of the lowest payrolls in the past few years and claimed they could only spend $155 million to build their own stadium, the Miami Marlins certainly seem to have a lot of money to be throwing around all of the sudden. After reports…
Most Dolphin fans are still in “Suck for Luck” mode, but with two straight wins under their belt, some members of the team apparently still have playoff hopes alive. Which isn’t exactly impossible, just largely improbable. Then again, with a 2-7 record they are only 5 games behind the leaders…
One conspicuous absence from the Miami Marlin’s big celebration on Friday to officially unveil their new name, logo, uniforms, color scheme and stadium: Billy the Marlin. Usually a centerpiece of most team events, the world’s only fish with feet was nowhere to be seen, leaving some to wonder if the mascot wasn’t making the move…
According to a report from Fox Sports, the Marlins have extended a six-year contract to Jose Reyes worth $90 million. That would make him far and away the highest paid player in the franchise’s history, and if true is an indication that owner Jeffrey Loria really is willing to put…
Will we have to wait until 2013 to see if LeBron James can make good on his promise of bringing back the NBA Championship to Miami? It’s looking more and more like that may be the case.Today, the NBA Players Union have rejected NBA Commissioner David Stern’s latest offering and…
Well that about wraps it up for the first overall pick. The Miami Dolphins were able to both grab an early lead and then not vomit all over it by taking down the vaunted indomitable unconquerable mostly shitty Washington Redskins 20-9 yesterday at Sun Life Stadium.The win snaps a seven-game…
The Marlins will officially unveil their new logo and uniforms tonight at 9. (That they didn’t hold the event at 11:11 this morning seems like a loss, but oh well.) The logo and alleged mockups of the uniforms have already leaked, but Uni-Watch apparently has the first actual picture of…
Don’t feel bad about not having much love for Dolphins coach Tony Sparano. NFL players don’t like him much either.The Sporting News polled 111 current players on which coach they’d least like to play for, and Sparano came in second, just one vote behind NY Giants coach Tom Coughlin…
Today is supposed to be the big day for the newly re-named Miami Marlins. Tonight the team unveils its new uniforms and, perhaps, a new blockbuster signing.But at least five players on the 40-man roster probably won’t be celebrating. Their fellow countryman and ballplayer Wilson Ramos was kidnapped on Wednesday…
DeQuan Jones, a University of Miami men’s basketball player, will sit out the entire 2011-2012 season as investigators look into Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro’s claims that he paid Jones’ family to secure his commitment. Jones was the only current basketball player named in the Yahoo! Sports investigation into Shapiro’s ties to…
Does Jeffrey Loria lie awake at night, in his Britto-decorated pajamas, trying to think of new ways to be disgusting? Tomorrow night–11/11/11!– the owner of the mediocre baseball collective soon-to-be-formerly known as the Florida Marlins will throw his crowning gala at the new stadium. To commemorate the team’s rebranding as…
With a teary confession that he should have done more to investigate allegations that ex-defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky had molested a young boy in the team’s showers, legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno announced today he will stop down at the end of the season. Scandal aside, that means that…
Vontae Davis, the Dolphin’s 2009 first-round draft pick, didn’t play in Sunday’s game. Rumors sparks that that Davis was left back at home because he got into a fight with Brandon Marshall, but apparently that’s not true. Or at least it’s not the full truth. Apparently, Davis was actually sidelined…
The Marlins don’t officially reveal the full details of their branding makeover until Friday, but on the heels of the leak of the new logo and hats, it appears that details of the new uniform have also found their way online early. And if they’re accurate, you can say goodbye…
Finally, just when it mattered the least, when a win couldn’t possibly do anything to change the fortunes of this season, this coaching staff, or this fan base’s hopes, the Dolphins FINALLY pulled off a victory.Somehow, someway, led by one of the marionette puppets from Team America QB Matt Moore,…
A second round of excerpts from Shaquille O’Neal upcoming Autobiography have hit the web. In the first round, Shaq detailed his near-fight with Pat Riley, but in the latest the first Miami Heat messiah criticizes our current one, LeBron James…
It’s not exactly a secret that last season the Miami Heat were playing with a chip on their shoulder almost as big as LeBron’s ego (we kid because we love). Now, Dwyane Wade is saying that the team’s failure against Dallas in the NBA Championships can be chalked up to…
For the third time in a little over a week, a Miami sports team has been the butt of a joke on a national sitcom. First there was South Park’s minor dig at the Dolphins, then The Office had a little fun at Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat’s expense…
Shaq has fired back at the computer hack who exposed him as a clumsy mack. The insane battle between Shaquille O’Neal and his ex-con IT guy– who sued his former boss and leaked scandalous emails of the retired basketball behemoth being an extra-marital lothario– got more complicated Thursday.Shaq filed his…
Despite being quoted by CBSSports.com yesterday saying that the University of Miami wants to renegotiate Al Golden’s contract, and implying that the coach wouldn’t be above abandoning ship if the team was hit by crippling NCAA sanctions, Golden’s agent Adam Senior now says that Golden will honor his contract. Senior…
