Fresh off their defeat in trying to get public funds to renovate their stadium, the Miami Dolphins are planning to throw their hat into the ring and bid for the 2018 Super Bowl. It’s that kind of up and attem! attitude that’s made this football franchise the perpetual 7-9 denizens…
Former Miami Dolphin running back Larry Johnson is now a DJ at Tootsie’s. Well, he was a Miami Dolphin for a preseason and really made his name as a Kansas City Chief. But still. The point is, he’s now a DJ at Tootsie’s, the same place where Aaron Hernandez reportedly…
The Miami Dolphins’ late-game rally on Sunday fell short when kicker Caleb Sturgis’ effort waffled wide left, handing the Fins their second consecutive loss, dropping them to 3-2 on the season. It was a bitter loss, leaving that all-too-familiar taste of defeat in Dolphins fans’ mouths (tastes like chicken shit!)…
Michael Jordan was interviewed about which of today’s players could take him one-on-one in his prime, and he answered by showing what a salty, bitter old man he’s become. Namely, he took yet another shot at LeBron James — the one guy who is a legitimate threat to overtake MJ…
The Miami Marlins ended what was an otherwise historically horrendous season in the craziest, most improbable way imaginable: with a walk-off no hitter. Pitcher Henderson Alvarez threw his first career no-hitter. But, because these are the Marlins, it couldn’t be just your run-of-the-mill no-hitter. No, this one was almost blown…

The Associated Press is reporting that the Panthers have been sold for $240 million by Cliff Viner and Sunrise Sports & Entertainment to a group led by Viola. The team has yet to officially announce…
Could we see LeBron James wearing “COBRADICK” on the back of his jersey this season? Probably no! But, “KING JAMES” is a real possibility. The NBA is reportedly considering allowing the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets to wear player nickname uniforms in at least one of their head-to-head matchups…
Your Miami Dolphins have exploded the collective assholes of the entire NFL by shooting out of the gate 3-0. Ryan Tannehill led the Fins to the 27-23 last-second victory against the Atlanta Falcons in what, at this point, has been the most exciting win in the Joe Philbin era. So…
The Heat’s Birdman was a victim of a double catfish. Before becoming a local icon and helping the Miami Heat win its second-consecutive NBA championship, Chris “Birdman” Andersen played for the Denver Nuggets. And it was while he was with the Nuggets that Andersen was caught up in speculation about…
Maybe it’s because it was in the middle of a weekday afternoon. Or there’s the fact that the Florida Panthers will likely have a profoundly terrible season this year. Not to mention this is South Florida. And there’s little redemption for hockey fans here. A fact clearly on display Monday…

Miami Marlins rookie phenom, pitcher Jose Fernandez, is awesome. He’s arguably the most dominant pitcher of the season, is a Cuban immigrant, is gregarious, humble, young and, best of all, a total badass. Whether he’s mowing down opposing batters with his filthy stuff, or hitting homeruns off the hated Braves…
On September 2, 64-year-old Diana Nyad — who started swimming as a seventh-grader growing up in Fort Lauderdale — completed her lifetime goal of swimming from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. It was a goal she had attempted and failed four times prior. She made headlines around the…
