• Do You (Not) Believe in Miracles?

  The Miami Dolphins beat the Jets Sunday to win the division and make it to the playoffs. It's a great achievement for a team that went 1-15 last year and a nice gift for the fans. But a miracle? That's what a headline on the the Sun-Sentinel's front page called it this morning -- a "miracle turnaround." That's right, this season was authored not by the Big Tuna, our local newspaper tells us, but by the the Big Guy himself, God almighty.

• Sunday Reading: The Wayne Huizenga Story

• BankAtlantic Seduced by Lingerie, Not Lacrosse

  Flickr User: misterand3rsonFor the attention of sports fans, lacrosse must compete with her.When I heard that there would be a lingerie football franchise in South Florida, the Miami Caliente, who would be playing their games at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, my first thought was of the terrifying possibility of a game marred by a wardrobe malfunction.
