[jump] It wasn’t enough. And I know it’s not fair to blame the jersey, but it’s seriously bigger than the 2006 NBA Championship banner and Dwyane Wade’s Olympic banner combined. The half-time ceremony was touching though. I’m not even kidding when I say it started with a letter from Barack…
During Monday night’s segment about his appearance in Palm Beach (and the subsequent protests), Bill O’Reilly had his old friend, Wendy Murphy (pictured left) on the show to go over just how evil the evil liberals who don’t like O’Reilly’s comments about rape victims really are. Their conclusion: very evil. But…
Some important background on last night’s Heat game: Before last night, Dwyane Wade had never beaten the Indiana Pacers in Conseco Fieldhouse. After last night, same deal. But it was close: 90-88. Wade had the second-worst shooting game of his career; it included missing the final shot of the game…..
Last night, Fox News hot-air balloon complete asshole Bill O’Reilly aired a segment about the controversy over his speech at a benefit in Manalapan. He framed it as a battle between good and evil. A few weeks ago, I wrote about the possible conflict of interest O’Reilly might have speaking…
The Heat crushed the Grizzlies at home last night, 94-82. And Dwyane Wade dropped 27 to break his own franchise single-season scoring record. The Heat started on an 11-0 run and never trailed O.J. Mayo and his Memphis crew. The real excitement came after the game though, when D-Wade gave…
[jump] The Heat won the game 101-96. In the first quarter, Wade hit a basket that put him over 2,000 points for the season. That makes him only the fifth player in NBA history to notch 2,000 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in a single season. Miami also inched…
Yesterday afternoon, as Bostonians eased out of whiskey-induced hibernation (doctors call it “alcohol poisoning”) in a blanket of their own green vomit, they got a piece of good news: Police decided to drop the charges in exchange for an apology and a promise never to treat a lamp post like that again…
Early Friday morning, Wilton Manors police responded to a 70-year-old man living near the corner of NE 26th Street and Andrews. The man told them his neighbor had hit him with a hammer and robbed him. He was bleeding from the head. Yesterday, police arrested a man living two doors…
It might seem like a nice gesture, Fox News talking head hot-air balloon Bill O’Reilly speaking at an event in Manalapan for the It Happened to Alexa Foundation, a rape survivors advocacy group based in New York. But rape victims and anti-O’Reilly enthusiasts are circulating a petition asking the foundation to cancel O’Reilly’s appearance…
You probably aren’t a huge fan of the Dominican Republic baseball team. I know because you wouldn’t be reading this–your eyes would still be far too teary to stare at a blog. ESPN is reporting that hundreds of D.R. fans had already purchased plane tickets to Miami and tickets to the second…
When he answered my phone call, Aslan Lamarche speaks in a voice that’s shaky, nervous. He’s slow to speak and takes long pauses until he’s sure he knows the voice on the other end. Lamarche knows that any call — especially one from a number inside the United States –…
The first time came at the end of the first half. Then again to tie the game at the end of regulation. Then, after he stole the ball from John Salmons with three seconds left in the second overtime, Wade hit a running three as time expired to give “El…
So you’re a Wall Street Journal subscriber. You’re stinging from the horrible depression, but you’re smart. You’ll recover. You’ll figure out a way to get the kids to college. In the meantime, you want to vacation. You want to go somewhere fun. Somewhere bright–where you’ll be far from the falling…
Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. That’s according to a fun web site created by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old CalTech grad student. He created the site (which has since gone down from too much traffic) to compare the kinds of music Facebook users list as their favorite with the…
Like a wise-cracking, slam-dunking movie monster (not to be confused with Kazaam), Shaquille O’Neal has returned to South Florida. And like Godzilla, he is doing his share of crushing — even if it’s not on the basketball court. Last night, Shaq made the Miami stop on what he’s calling his…
At this point, they are the two leading candidates for league MVP. They are the NBA’s top scorers, top names (with Kobe Bryant, perhaps), good friends, and oh yeah, Olympic teammates. There was no way a game in March could live up to hype like this. Except it did. In…
C. Stiles Johnson training in Hollywood for a fight last November By the time most professional boxers turn 40, the days of lacing up the gloves and dancing around the squared circle are long gone. But that’s just not the case with Miami-based former IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Glen Johnson…
When the Geary family adopted Astro, their German shepherd, they lived in Palm City, Florida. A month later, Astro ran away. That was nine years ago. Then this year, the Gearys, who live in Kentucky now, got an interesting call from an animal control officer in Tennessee. Astro had been…
You know things are bad when the people who are paid to help the folks applying for public assistance need help themselves. More than five million Americans are seeking unemployment benefits, the most since records of such things have been kept. Now Florida call centers (not pictured here) have been overwhelmed by…
It started around Presidents’ Day. ESPN has been picking the “Mt. Rushmore of Sports” in every state, then choosing the top five states. This week, it decided Illinois had the best mountain, with Michael Jordan, Ernie Banks, Walter Payton, and Mike Ditka. Hard to argue those guys aren’t Da Best…
It is officially a fashion trend. Since he took a Juwan Howard elbow to the face earlier this month and needed six stitches, the ever-stylish Dwyane Wade has been brandishing a series of personalized Band-Aid-like adhesive bandages (not to be confused with Band-Aids, pictured here) under his left eye. Soon, the…
