Between the Hurricanes’ 0-2 start and the Dolphins’ purposely inserting their team into the toilet bowl just to watch it circle the drain (see: 59-10 ass-kicking in Week 1), 2019 promises to be one big wet fart sound if you were expecting either team to contend for anything at all.

Dorian intensified into a Category 5 hurricane over the weekend before making landfall in the Bahamas on Sunday. The National Hurricane Center says wind gusts reached up to…

Last year, as Florence approached the United States, Mike Boylan went live from his home office in Oldsmar, about a half-hour north of Tampa. The storm for days had waffled between a Category 4 hurricane and a tropical storm, either of which could become a pain in the ass for parts of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
