For an athlete beating around the lower rungs of professional play, it doesn’t get any sweeter than that first big-league appearance. Mom invites the girls from canasta over to watch the game. Dad brags it up to the guys at work. Grandma makes some T-shirts with your high school varsity…
The Cleveland Cavaliers tried everything to end the Miami Heat’s record-setting win streak on Wednesday night. They tried the ole “weird oily substance that leaks from the ceiling and delays the game for 35 minutes” trick. They tried the “crazy fan runs onto the court in the middle of the…
Unless you’ve been trapped under something (or someone) heavy the past 24 hours, you’ve seen the video of LeBron James utterly destroying Celtics bigmouth Jason Terry with something that can only be described as The Dunk of Annihilation. Because the internet is an awesome place, video of the dunk instantly…
The Miami Heat walked into the all-consuming ocean of douche and insufferableness that is Boston’s TD Garden Monday night and laid its record-setting 22-game winning streak on the line. The Celtics were ready from the GO and came at the Heat with a furious effort that spawned a career night…
In case you haven’t been paying attention — and pfft why wouldn’t you? — Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn (she’s a skier!) were rumored to have been an item for the last few months. But Vonn wouldn’t confirm, so everyone was left to speculation and hearsay because it’s tough having…
With the Miami Heat blowing NBA faces to smithereens and the University of Miami Men’s hoop team getting a number-two seed for the NCAA tournament, the Miami Dolphins are left in the wake, wallowing in their spending spree for free-agent players who probably don’t deserve all the money they’re getting…
It’s official. Choosing Jake Long over Matt Ryan as the number-one overall pick back in the 2008 NFL draft was a bad choice. Jake Long has chosen to be a St. Louis Ram over a Miami Dolphin, signing a four-year, $34 million contract (with incentives that could push it to…
It’s hard to rob any of the sweet out of yesterday for the UM basketball team. Ringed by a stadium of hostile UNC fans in Greensboro, North Carolina, the Hurricanes knocked off the Tar Heels 87-77 in the ACC tournament championship — UM’s first time hoisting the trophy. But Sunday was…
The Miami Dolphins signed former New York Jet Dustin Keller, a tight end, to a one-year contract Friday afternoon, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. John Clayon says the contract is worth $4.25 million. While Keller isn’t the greatest blocker, he can be an effective weapon as far as doing that thing…
Miami Hurricane point guard Shane Larkin is having himself a breakout season. And as a result, the Canes are on the basketball map for the first time ever. Larkin is averaging 13.7 points and 4.4 assists for the Canes Men Hoops Kickass Brigade and has the team poised for a…
When you think Don King, you immediately think: tiny American flags, boxing, flash, crazy-ass hair, and pizzazz (and let’s face it, how often does something conjure up “pizzazz” just by looking at it?) But lately, the sheen on the Don (or is it The King?) has begun to wear down,…
Things started pretty much how you’d expect from a team heading into its second night of a back-to-back road set for the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. And the Philadelphia 76ers were more than ready and willing to clobber the Heat with a snow shovel to the face and be…
The Dolphins apparently went a little drunk-guy-at-the-strip-club and threw money all over the place Tuesday. Particularly, at Steelers receiver Mike Wallace and, surprisingly, at Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe. But Jeff Ireland ain’t done.And while the moves seem to reek of a desperate GM trying not to get fired, overall, the…
As was expected since before free agency kicked off, the Miami Dolphins are expected to officially, for real this time, sign free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace, according to the NFL Network.All that’s left is for him to pass a physical and iron out some contract stuff.The signing fills a…
Today the Atlantic Coast Conference announced the Coach of the Year award, and the laurels went to a familiar name: UM’s Jim Larranaga. The honor comes after the coach piloted the Hurricanes to a standout season, with a program record 24-6 run and its first ACC regular-season championship. By coaxing…
A mother of three walked into her San Antonio home to find a Florida Panther sitting on her couch. Not an actual panther, mind you. A professional hockey player, which is still pretty scary and weird. Scott Timmins, a Panthers prospect currently playing for the minor-league San Antonio Rampage, allegedly…
NFL free agency doesn’t kick off until Tuesday at 4 p.m. which is both the most arbitrary time to schedule the start of free agency and a tad annoying to people that have to report these things (WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE MEDIA???). But that’s not stopping rumors and…
The reaction among the experts, media, and haterz the world over after the Indiana Pacers had roughed up and beaten the Miami Heat in the teams’ first two meetings this season was that the Pacers clearly had Miami’s number and that the Heat might as well go the way of…
What does 1,083 yards and one whole touchdown earn you? It earns you a five-year contract worth $30.8 million, with $12.5 million guaranteed. That is, if you play for the Miami Dolphins. Brian Hartline was the Dolphins’ leading receiver during last season’s barn-burning 7-9 season. And now, according to a…
NBA legend and all-around snappy-ass dresser Michael Jordan filed for a marriage license in the downtown West Palm Beach courthouse on Thursday morning. Jordan and his fiancé, Yvette Prieto, arrived at the courthouse around 8:30 a.m…
Ameen Najjar, the guy whom the NCAA hired as their director of enforcement, wrote a letter on behalf of convicted Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro days before he was sentenced in 2011, suggesting that having Shapiro on the payroll would be swell. Whoops. See also: -Sen. Joe Abruzzo Asks Florida Attorney…
In case you weren’t aware, the Miami Heat went into a cold, miserable, decrepit city whose sole claim to fame is that they have a giant mall (nice job, you guys!) on Monday night and completely blew up the Minnesota Timberwolves’ collective assholes into oblivion by a score of 97-81…
