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.

Fast-forward to this season and the narrative on social media and Hurricanes message boards is that Richt should...
Alita: Battle Angel. This is a film made up of three distinct, and sometimes conflicting, aesthetics. At its heart is Yukito Kishiro's manga series Gunnm (or Battle Angel Alita), of which a number of chapters were chopped and rearranged by writers Laeta Kalogridis and James Cameron to create the two-hour...
Love bites; love is bliss. Especially in Miami, a notoriously rough scene for dating, it can be tough finding that magic formula for making a romantic relationship work, let alone finding someone willing to slide from your DMs into real life. That's why it's a little surprising Miami has so...
Dr. Lord Lee-Benner has seen the dark side of the Sunshine State: its schizophrenics, neurotics, addicts, depressives, illiterate bipolars, disturbed teens, even psychotic ex-ministers. Many of the indigent patients who come to see him at Community Health Center of West Palm Beach, a nonprofit clinic where he volunteers as a...

At its slimy heart, the Biogenesis steroid scandal boiled down to a bunch of tanning-salon aficionados and small-time South Florida crooks scamming one another — all while bringing down the biggest performance-enhancing drug ring in the history of professional sports. So it makes sense that in retelling the tale...

A whole host of civil-rights advocates believe that the private, for-profit prison industry should not exist.

Except for a scattering of white-haired regulars, the grandstand overlooking the old dog track at the Palm Beach Kennel Club is almost empty on a cold-for-Florida December day. Wearing hearing aids and World War II veterans' hats, a group of four long-timers holds court near the top of the stands...
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...
