flicker.com Joey Porter and Jason Taylor may karate chop an opposing QB or two. Joey Porter knows a thing or two about fighting. He also knows about carrying a gun in South Florida and getting shot in the ass in Colorado. Now Bill Parcells has called in a team to…
[jump] That incident occurred on March 1 of this year, after Burress was pulled over in Pompano Beach. Sadly, Burress is accused of being rude to another police officer — this time a different Broward Sheriff’s deputy — when he was pulled over on the westbound side of I-595 less than…
[jump] The Wreck Bar was featured in perhaps the most memorable scene in Where the Boys Are and again years later in Analyze This, with Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal. The dark old watering hole has always satiated my urge to down not-so-cheap, not-so-stiff drinks with not-so-glamorous yacht owners while riding…
Flickr.com Don’t call it “interior design” until you see the paperwork. Do you know what it takes to become an “interior designer” in this state? Being able to match a bedspread and drapes should do it, right? Wrong. “Decorators” may be able to walk off the street and charge you…
This is video of Glen Johnson after losing by decision to Chad Dawson last April. Note the cheers from the crowd as Johnson begins to speak. It’s hard to find anyone who watched the fight and thinks Dawson deserved to win. New Times profiled South Florida-based Johnson in a cover story…
[jump] Tom Selleck joked about it in Mr. Baseball, as a washed-up American ball player in Japan (easily 1992’s funniest fish-out-of-water baseball movie starring a mustache). And in that movie, Selleck bowling over his Japanese counterparts represented the aggressive, disrespectful, violent way American’s play their own game. Yesterday Mike Berardino reported…
It’s the worst kind of brutality: swift, unforgiving, and ushered in by a waxed, turned, well-spun piece of man hair. If you didn’t see it last night, the Marlins lost to the Diamondbacks 4-3. And the winning pitcher only appeared in the seventh inning. It was also his first time…
It’s hard out here for the pimped. Last week, Craigslist announced the site would eliminate its “Erotic Services” section and replace it with an “Adult Services” category, which employees are said to monitor for illegal activity. The change comes after national media attention on Philip Markoff, the accused “Craigslist Killer,”…
A deep, scratchy voice announces their presence over the loudspeaker. “Heeeere comes Hollywood!” The gates open, and eight muzzled greyhounds spring forth in a speedy, thundering mass of bobbing fur, each wearing a brightly colored, numbered jersey. Tiny puffs of dirt follow their sinewy legs. This is the seventh race…
They got Jason Taylor back, and they got two big corners, filling the biggest needs from last year. But still, when NFL.com came out with the latest power rankings earlier this week, the division-champion Miami Dolphins were right in the middle of the league: number 17. Surely this is because…
The Cypress Creek Cinemas 16 at the corner of Andrews and Cypress Creek in Fort Lauderdale was robbed yesterday morning. According to police, the culprit – a 5’5, 200-pound white guy – confronted the manager with a gun as he entered the theatre in the morning, rounded up and bound…
Former dancer with stars turned JuiceBlendz investor turned still a football player, Jason Taylor will be coming back to South Florida soon. Get your popcorn smoothies ready. And he really wanted to be back here, as evidenced by the $7 million paycut he took to return to the Dolphins. He’ll…
Yesterday I posted the first part of my interview with porn star Sasha Grey. Grey, the 2008 AVN Female Performer of the Year, plays an upscale New York prostitute in Steven Soderbergh’s new movie The Girlfriend Experience. The film is set amid the Wall Street meltdown just before the election…
About the time the economy began to completely unravel last fall, I wrote a story about the life of a few local prostitutes. The story was prophetically titled “The Real Girlfriend Experience.” I say prophetic because director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Erin Brokovich, the Ocean’s 11 series) has a new movie…
The Miami Dolphins announced today that Dolphins Satdium will henceforth be known as LandShark Stadium. We won’t even get into the fact that the Marlins and the Dolphins play in that stadium, and Sharks eat both of those animals. (I bet if the Dolphins are 0-7 at home, they’ll change…
I met Carroll during the 2008 spring training. While watching Albert Pujols and eating hot dogs, we sat in the sun and discussed how Judy Garland recruited him to Munchkinland, how his voice was the one screaming “Doorothee!” during the twister scene, and how much he enjoyed coming to Florida…
“It was like a plane crash, but with horses instead of people.” That’s the first quote in the fantastic E:60 segment on the polo horse deaths in Wellington last month. It started with two mares sick at the barn. Soon there were dead horses all over the place. The Palm…
Out like the fat kid in dodgeball. It was a good series, conceptually. It’s not like any of the individual games were any good or even competitive. This is only the second time in NBA history that all seven games in a series were decided by at least ten points…
If you’re anything like me, you turned off last night’s playoff game at halftime. The Hawks already had a 23-point lead and Dwyane Wade probably had a concussion. Plus, Lost was on. I didn’t even want to see the results. I figured if John Locke can somehow summon the…
The last time the Atlanta Hawks had won a playoff game on the road, Dwyane Wade was 15 years old. He hadn’t thought about Marquette, the Final Four, the NBA Finals, MVPs, or STDs. But last night, Miami was about as intimidating as Jeff Goldblum was in the 1997 smash…
Nobody likes an injustice, especially when kids are involved. But ladies and gentlemen, that’s exactly what we have. When Playboy announced the magazine’s picks for best party school this week, this nation saw the worst kind of injustice since the Alpha Betas framed the Tri-Lambs in Revenge of the Nerds…
