Unless you’ve been hiding from federales on an island of swamp grass floating deep within the Everglades for the past six months, you’re well aware that the World Cup starts this this afternoon. You should also know that pleading ignorance of the international tournament just won’t cut it in modern…
The Miami Heat won’t let us, your dutiful local alt-weekly, anywhere near the team (to the point they wouldn’t even let us interview a super-fan in a banana costume one time), but apparently they let just about anyone else with a press badge into post-game press conferences during the Finals…
While one proposed stadium was dealt a death blow yesterday, another stadium moved one step closer a new deal with the county. The Miami Dolphins and Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez reportedly signed an agreement yesterday that would see the county pay the team money for bringing marquee events to Miami…
Julia Dale sang the National Anthem, the crowd chanted “Seven Nation Army,” and fire shot into the sky as the players were introduced to ear-piercing applause. Everything was going according to plan, the NBA Finals were back in Miami, and the Heat’s home was hype with excitement. Then the San…
Bienvenidos a Miami, San Antonio Spurs. You got a lot of splainin’ to do. You see, the rest of America may buy your convenient “Oh, the A/C just happened to break right at tip-off of game one of the NBA Finals, so weird, whoops!” but not us in the Magic…
Miami-Dade voters are at a virtual standstill when it comes to David Beckham’s proposed plans to fill in the FEC boat slip next to American Airlines Arena and build a new soccer stadium on it. According to a Benedixen and Associates poll commissioned by the Miami Herald, 45 percent are…
Anyone who has tuned in to a non-marquee matchup while the Miami Hurricanes are playing at home is greeted with the sight of a stadium full of large swaths of empty orange seats. The attendance problems at Sun Life Stadium are well known. Oddly, this is the team’s latest marketing…
The World Cup is only three days away, yet the buzz in America hasn’t been about our boys beating Nigeria in our final warmup match over the weekend. Instead, everyone keeps talking about how American soccer fans are full of shit. The New York Times says we’re a bunch of…
Shhhhhhhhhh, you hear that? That’s the sound of all the LeBron James cramp memes being deleted from all the Twitter accounts. If you put your ear to your computer screen, you can actually hear the little Instagram heart likes breaking into a thousand pieces and falling to the floor. Welcome…
Both teams tried to “beat the Heat” last night. Only one succeeded. The Heat dropped game one of the NBA Finals 110-95 in a matchup where Miami lost its biggest star, LeBron James, midway through the fourth quarter due to cramps that flared up for one reason: the Spurs’ A/C…
Even as LeBron James stands just four wins away from his third NBA championship, his popularity among the American sports populace has still not returned to what it was when he was a ringless superstar toiling away in Cleveland. ESPN tracks scientific poll numbers each year for which NBA players…
Happy finals, Heat fans! It’s June, so you know what that must mean — your Miami Heat is just a handful of wins away from an NBA title. At this point, Heat fans should treat game one of the NBA Finals like a holiday and get one another presents, maybe…
The England fan had a flag draped across his shoulders, a beer in each hand, and had just finished bellowing a song at a passing group of Ecuador supporters when he glanced around at Sun Life Stadium’s dim concourse and echoed what many Three Lions backers surely felt at halftime…
“There has never been a player-owner, but maybe?” David Beckham says during a BBC documentary set to air next week, and that’s all it takes to fuel speculation that the retired superstar may be considering playing for the team he brings to Miami. See also: Miami Hurricanes Will Not Be…

The problem with having your wedding on the beach is that just a few meters from your ceremony any old random schlub could be sitting on a beach towel oiling themselves up. Though one couple got lucky this weekend on Miami Beach when that random schlub turned out to be…
The Miami Heat must break the Indiana Pacers tonight. It’s time to rid themselves of, as Ray Allen would say, the Pacers “buffoonery.” It’s damn time to get this Pacers team out of our lives, and move onto an NBA Finals rematch against either the Oklahoma City Thunder or San…
There are people in sports with names like Isaako Aaitui (a Dolphins tackle), Thabo Sefolosha (Oklahoma City Thunder guard), and Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla (a Boston Bruins right wing), yet it’s Dwyane Wade’s little ten-letter name that is spelled incorrectly most often. The Wall Street Journal compiled…
If the officials weren’t enough to make Heat fans want to throw a potted plant into their TV sets Wednesday night, Lance Stephenson put them over the edge. In game five’s 93-90 loss, Stephenson put on a display of some of the most obnoxious, childish, and overall disgusting behavior you…
With all respect to grandmothers everywhere, sitting with your grandma on a sofa as she talks about what is on TV is usually not the world’s greatest thing. (Mine used to attempt to clue me in on the plot of whatever Lifetime movie she was watching. Apparently the emotionally distant…
The Miami Hurricanes and Florida Gators met on the football field every year for 49 years out of 50 until, as ‘Canes fans are quick to tell you, the Gators decided to end the rivalry in ’87. The two teams have only met a handful of times since, but it…
Don’t start none, won’t be none. Lance Stephenson, you picked the wrong dude, bruh. LeBron James farted thunder and shit lightning all Memorial Day long on his way to a 32-point, ten-rebound, five-assist night that was full of King Cobra hissssssss and the perfect rebuke to Stephenson’s talk before the…
