Normally, kickball is the sport you can see played with Hunger Games-style intensity at Mills Pond Park in Fort Lauderdale, but come September, it’s wakeboarding that will take over the park. The world championships are set to be held here from September 11 to 14. More than 200 wakeboarders and…
Seven years later, Brady Quinn could be a Miami Dolphin! And it’s basically because the Dolphins are hurting at quarterback right now (still). Starting QB Ryan Tannehill had a decent performance during the Dolphins’ first preseason game over the weekend. But his backups, Matt Moore and Pat Devlin, are both…
During the Donald Sterling racism debacle, LeBron James was quoted as saying “there is no place for [then LA Clippers owner] Donald Sterling in our league.” But as it turns out, when he made the bold move to return to Cleveland, he perhaps didn’t know about the potentially bigoted skeletons…
“C’mon, boi! One and tree! One and tree! C’mon, boi! C’mon, boi!” The heavyset Jamaican man in the yellow button-down shirt and khaki shorts threw a clenched fist in the air and shouted at the clutter of steeds galloping down the stretch in a cloud of sunburnt mahogany. Another man,…
For the last four years it hasn’t even been an argument. LeBron James (sigh) was the best athlete in South Florida. But now that the dirty liar/coward he’s gone, things get interesting (read: less good) again. For example, this potential conversation could happen at any South Florida bar tonight. Dude:…
The Miami Marlins fell victim to the ridiculous and obscure Rule 7.13, dropping a 3-1 game to the Reds the Fish should have won. With the bases loaded and one out, Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier pelted a hit right at Giancarlo Stanton in right field for the out. Stanton then threw…
It’s in the very infantile stages. That is to say, it’s just an idea that’s come up. But the Fort Lauderdale organization Envision Uptown is working on a seedling of an idea to convince David Beckham to bring his MLS club to Lockhart Stadium. It’s bold as it is brash,…
Pat Riley ain’t got time to bleed. Asked by reporters on Wednesday if he was hurt by LeBron James’ departure for Cleveland, Riley answered, “I don’t hurt.” But it would seem that Riley didn’t see it coming. While meeting with the press as the Miami Heat officially re-signed Chris Bosh,…
Nothing brings an entire fan base together quite like LeBron James abandoning your team. And that’s been more evident this offseason as Heat fans have rallied around Dwyane Wade and his magical #HeatLifer hashtag. Wade put the hashtag out there when he announced his return to the Heat, breathing hope…
Miami-Dade has given David Beckham a hard time in finding a place for his new soccer stadium. So now the rumblings have begun: He and his investors are considering Broward County. Some say it’s an empty threat made only to pressure Miami. But before anyone scoffs at the idea of…

Ever since LeBron James left, shit has been weird in South Florida. The mood, at first, was grateful and appreciative. That was nice. Necessary, even. Then we got defiant, and Cocky Heat Fan returned, celebrating in a loud way the return of a roster that we didn’t like a whole…
A man with two knots on his forehead and a chipped tooth spoke to the media on Tuesday evening about filing, along with two other people, a lawsuit against Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey and his twin brother, Maurkice. On Saturday, New Times broke the story of Riquan James, 24,…
Dwyane Wade is officially back with the Miami Heat, and he decided to make the announcement in the coolest way possible. Heat fans are still mostly livid over LeBron James’ departure. Especially with the way he did it — via an article in Sports Illustrated that never mentions Heat fans,…
Oh, Giancarlo. That power. Last night, the rest of baseball-watching America figured out what we already knew: Giancarlo Stanton is pretty much the strongest dude in the sport. So what if our beloved fauxhawk-wearing monster didn’t win the Home Run Derby — that honor would go to Yoenis Cespedes, the…

So, turns out, according to ESPN, that the reason the entire basketball world is still being held hostage by LeBron James’ indecision is over Cavs owner Dan Gilbert’s infamous 2010 comic sans letter where he publicly blasted James. In the letter, Gilbert called LeBron’s choice to freely sign with another…
We’re officially at DEFCON HOLY CRAP with the LeBron James Decision 2.0. As he is set to meet with Heat team President Pat Riley in Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon, comes news that the Cleveland Cavaliers dealt away a big contract to make salary cap space for LeBron. This either means…
