Whatever the Miami Hurricanes road map is to get back to championship contention, it certainly doesn’t go through super-easy out-of-conference games (unlike, say, those Gators). The Miami Herald reports that the Canes are in discussions to open the 2012 season against SEC powerhouse the Alabama Crimson Tide in Atlanta for a…
It’s a travesty. An outrage.

It might be a while before we get complete confirmation that Dwyane Wade will again sign on the dotted line for the Heat, but president Pat Riley has extended his own contract. No big surprise there, but he’s also open to extending his career as a coach. Watch your back,…
A lot has changed for the Orange Bowl since 1989. Back then, Jimmy Johnson was coaching the Canes, and they blew out Nebraska 23-3 in the game that year. That was when it was played in the actual stadium known as the Orange Bowl and before all of this BCS…
Context is everything, and Sports Illustrated says they have the full conversation leading up to Jeff Ireland’s now infamous question to Dez Bryant. But ESPN says it’s not true! Yahoo!

Earlier this month, multiple reports popped up that World Wrestling Entertainment was trying to secure Tiger Woods as a special guest host when it stages Raw at the American Airlines Arena June 7.

College athletic conferences are always finding new and exciting ways to further screw with the already tortured fabric of college football. The Big Ten has been talking for so long about expanding to 12 in order to get a championship game that we’re surprised it hasn’t happened. Now it seems to have raised…
Led by sharp-shooting Ray Allen’s 24 points, the Boston Celtics put the Miami Heat away last night 96-86, closing out the series and ending the Heat’s season and OH MY GOD, DWYANE WADE, PLEASE DON’T LEAVE!!!It’s the Heat’s second straight first-round exit. In fact, the team hasn’t taken a playoff…
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland is sorry for asking Dez Bryant whether his mom was a hooker. So sorry, in fact, he released a statement to the Miami Herald (which didn’t even cover the outburst to begin with).”My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I’m…

Greatness is forged through adversity: when one’s back is against the wall, when one is faced with a do-or-die situation, or when someone keeps reminding everybody that WE JUST MIGHT BE WITNESSING HIS LAST GAME IN A HEAT UNIFORM!Dwayne Wade is greatness. Even when besieged with the burden of being…
Marlins fans, that proud clan of several hundred clad in teal and black, didn’t spend their off-season dreaming of free-agent fire-throwers. They didn’t lie awake imagining Matt Holiday patrolling left field, or drooling over how the NL East could fall their way. Nope. Fish faithful spent a long winter chewing…
The Miami Dolphins entered the NFL draft with a plethora of needs, most notably at outside linebacker, safety, nose tackle and tight end. They spent their first pick on a defensive end, while pulling the ole switch-a-roo on us and moving Randy Starks to the defensive tackle position. PING! Defensive…

Things aren’t looking too good for our beloved Miami Heat in the playoffs. Especially after their disastrous 106-77 loss to the Celtics Tuesday. Even an inspired performance by Dwyane Wade can’t ensure a win. Yes, we’ll get hometown advantage in tomorrow’s game, but we think it’s time for the Heat to pull out every…
Fans are the biggest losers in Jason Taylor’s decision to head to the Jets, but we’re still not sure exactly with whom to be angry: Taylor for heading out of town or Bill Parcels and company for apparently not caring too much that Taylor was packing his bags. This morning, ESPN reported the Dolphins actually…

Point guard Kenny Hasbrouck is the newest member of the Miami Heat, signing with them on March 16th out of the developmental league, but he’s already found himself in a drunk driving scandal. The charges date back to February 5th, before the Heat signed the former Siena College star.Hasbrouck was…
In a game that could only described as “refried ass, ” the Miami Heat were walloped by the Boston Celtics 106-77 in last night’s game two of the first round NBA Playoffs. The Heat managed to keep things close in the first quarter, rebounding after a slow start and even…
Jason Taylor deserved better. Certainly better than having to join the Jets. Now his former teammate Zach Thomas, who spent 11 seasons with the Dolphins himself and is Taylor’s brother-in-law, is calling out the front office for their shady and disrespectful handling of the situation.”I’m not trying to be hard…
