The most telling moment of the Andrew Gillum-Ron DeSantis Florida gubernatorial debate on CNN Sunday night came when moderator Jake Tapper broached the subject of DeSantis’ racist comments and actions during the campaign.
One year ago, Canes fans were applauding Mark Richt for reinventing the way we eat sandwiches and thanking him for being the savior that the University of Miami football program desperately needed. Fast-forward to this season and the narrative on social media and Hurricanes message boards is that Richt should…
Derek Jeter is erasing the memory of Jeffrey Loria by being an even worse owner. Instead of building a team fans will pay to see, the Miami Marlins CEO has been wasting time getting rid of the $2.5 million home-run sculpture inside Marlins Park and leaking images of possible new…
Brock Osweiler threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns this past Sunday, leaving the 4-2 Miami Dolphins tied for first place in the AFC East in mid-October. His big game has also left the Dolphins with a full-blown quarterback controversy on their hands.
This Sunday at 1 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins will meet the Chicago Bears in what will undoubtedly be a fork in this season’s road for the Dolphins. A loss to Chicago means the Dolphins would find themselves at 3-3 after an electric, undefeated 3-0 start, officially chasing…
This Saturday, the Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State Seminoles will meet for the 63rd time in their storied rivalry. For decades, UM-FSU has been the most important game on both teams’ schedules. This time around, though, the matchup is bigger than just this season. Saturday’s game is a mile marker for…
Get ready, America. We are about to have two sex offenders sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court. The FBI could uncover that Brett Kavanaugh tried to force his tongue down Ivanka Trump’s throat in the ’90s, but Republican senators would still vote to confirm him Friday. Kavanaugh will sit alongside Clarence Thomas, who during his 1991 confirmation hearings was accused by Anita Hill of sexually harassing her.
The Miami Dolphins entered Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots looking to make a statement. They had a chance to not only move to 4-0 but also drop the Pats into last place in the AFC East, a full three games behind the Fins in the divisional standings with only 25 percent of the season gone. Everything was there for the taking if the Dolphins could find a way to beat the Patriots in Foxboro.
This Sunday, the Miami Dolphins have a chance to do something bigger than finishing the first month of their season undefeated. What they can accomplish this weekend is so much larger than being the first-place team in the AFC East in October. What the Fins have a chance to do is something every team in the NFL has been champing at the bit to accomplish for the better part of the past decade.
It’s time to start calling the Miami Dolphins the No-Name Dolphins again. The last time the team earned that nickname, the Fins won their first Super Bowl and made history as the only franchise to go undefeated. Now, 46 years later, coach Adam Gase is poised to take another team with no superstars on an unlikely championship run.
In the ’60s, the psychologist Melvin Lerner introduced us to the idea of the just-world phenomenon. It’s the idea that when faced with feelings of helplessness, especially about a scary situation, our instinct is to blame the victim for being in the situation. Blaming the victim gives us a (false) sense of safety.
The Miami Dolphins are 3-0. They’re also in first place in the AFC East. Oh, and they’re one of only four undefeated teams in the NFL. But most important, the Miami Dolphins are a lot of fun.
This week, Dwyane Wade gave his signature pump-fake to retirement, choosing instead to rejoin the Miami Heat and its fans for, as he termed it, “one last dance.” Wade gave a good thinking to hanging up his Li-Ning Way of Wade sneakers before deciding to return for this 16th year in the league…
Urgent and breaking news just in from the New Times news desk: The Miami Dolphins are 2-0. Everyone, man your stations. The Dolphins will enter the third week of the season undefeated for the first time since 2013.
Welcome to Dolphins-Jets week, home of the most heated rivalry in South Florida sports. It’s more storied than Heat versus Knicks. More meaningful than Marlins versus Mets. More bitter than Dolphins versus Bills or Dolphins versus Patriots. It’s the bleeping New York Jets against the Miami Dolphins…
For all of Donald Trump’s ills, he has not done anything (yet) as evil as lying to the American public in order to start a continent-destabilizing war that killed 500,000 to 1 million Iraqis. George W. Bush is a monster who jump-started the NSA’s internet-spying apparatus, launched America into a perpetual state of war across the globe…
The Miami Dolphins opened their season with 28 minutes and 49 seconds of entertaining football against the Tennessee Titans. The Fins’ retooled offense seemed to be firing on all cylinders, the defense was holding its own, and the home-opener crowd seemed livelier than usual at Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins led 7-3 about a minute before halftime.
Miami Hurricanes fans and sports pundits are still walking around in a daze following the team’s embarrassing loss to the Louisiana State Tigers over Labor Day weekend. They bought into the hype that Miami deserved a Top 10 ranking while ignoring the brutal reality: The same problems the Canes had during the three-game losing streak to end last season were exposed again by LSU.
The Florida Republican Party’s attacks on Andrew Gillum will fall into two categories. GOP gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis has already resorted to outright racism. Yesterday on Fox News, he was either intentionally using the word “monkey” to describe Gillum or was just too stupid to know the word’s offensive history with black people — a hard excuse to believe from a Harvard- and Yale-educated lawyer.
Florida, get ready for the most important election in state history. In a primary election-night shocker, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum emerged from a deep field of Democratic candidates to represent the party as its 2018 gubernatorial nominee. Now he’ll run against Donald Trump toady and U.S. Congressman Ron DeSantis, who easily won the state’s racist vote to destroy his Republican opponent, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
This past Friday, the Indianapolis Colts became the third NFL team to pass on the services of former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Brad Kaaya. Since being drafted by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, little has been heard from Kaaya. At one point, he was expected to be a sure-fire first-round draft pick who would one day step in and have a go at winning a Super Bowl. So far, that’s been anything but the case.
On September 9, the Miami Dolphins will open their season with a home game against former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans. The matchup will also mark the return of Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who hasn’t played in a regular-season game since 2016.
