As the 2015 Miami Dolphins training camp kicks into high gear, Fins fans’ annual preseason cockiness reaches stratospheric levels. Just recently, a Harvard University study pegged the Dolphins — owners of an 8-8 record last year and a seven-year playoff drought — as the AFC’s Super Bowl representatives. Emory University,…
The Miami Marlins’ owners have always been the worst — but this season the front office is finding new and exciting ways to break what most thought were untouchable high scores of awfulness they set over the years. As the trade deadline dust settles, Marlins fans are still trying to figure…
Not eating food for three days can be the worst. Except for when you rid your body of all the built up toxins and instead fill it with much needed nutrients from pure fruits and vegetables, resulting in some weight loss but also a I feel pretty good about myself…
On August 4, my memoir, The Book of Luke: My Fight for Truth, Justice, and Liberty City, will go on sale. I hope many young African-Americans who think the odds are stacked against them will read it and be inspired. I wrote the book, which is previewed in this week’s…
Miami Dolphins fans, there is officially a very faint light at the end of the tunnel: In roughly 72 hours, Dolphins training camp jumps off in Davie. If this offseason felt longer than most, it’s because there was no Miami Heat playoff run and the Marlins are terrible. So even…
Miami Dolphins training camp is just over a week away, so that means it’s time to breakout the good old spicy-hot take machine and shoot some sriracha covered ghost chili’s sports takes into the sky. This is a win-win situation here; if we’re right; you praise us, lift us up…
Last month, 31-year-old Loukucha Joseph was left for dead after she was shot and run over by a car driven by unknown assailants near NE 149th Street and Sixth Avenue. Two weeks later, just a couple of blocks from where Joseph died, unknown suspects in a white car fatally shot…
This upcoming Miami Dolphins season is arguably the franchise’s most important campaign in over a decade. That’s why the team should waste no more time in pursuing free agent guard Evan Mathis. New executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum has made it clear — not only with the Dolphins,…
NBA Summer League action is not for the casual fan; it’s normally akin to watching pick-up games at your local park, except the guys playing have way better gear. The thing is, sometimes you can actually learn something. Every once in awhile a player like Hassan Whiteside will come out…
Craving an Ex-pat Cuban sandwich from Sparky’s? Or maybe shroom buns from Gigi’s? What about a pan con minuta from La Camaronera? Thanks to Favor, which launched in Miami last Friday, you can get all of the aforementioned and just about anything else your heart and stomach desires (so long…
When Dinner Lab, the world’s largest member’s only pop-up supper club, launched in Miami last year you had to pay $150 annual fee to get access to their exclusive one night only events. But now, in an effort to grow Miami’s dining community and network and increase the fr equency…
Since August 4, 2009 a group of adventurous diners — led by formidable and candid local food bloggers/fans David Rosendorf (Frodnesor), Chowfather (or “Chowpapi”), and Steve Berry (Blind Tastes) — without a need to know what they were getting into for the evening food-wise began an underground dinner club concept…
Miami is about to enter the worst sports week of the entire year. Over the past decade July 10th-16th has proven to be the least active seven day stretch for local fans. Only Christmas Day rivals these next few days when it comes to inactivity in sports, and even then fans…
On a weekend where the United States of America celebrated it’s 239th birthday, we also got to celebrate the female footballers that saved their fireworks for the Fifth of July. An absolutely frantic offensive pace to start the match by the United States netted them four goals before the Japanese ladies could…
What was going on in your life around June 26, 2003? Believe it or not, that was twelve years ago — the time from kindergarten graduation to high school prom. Twelve years is enough time for three different United States Presidents to call the White House home. Michael Phelps won…
After an entire calendar year of the NBA gods pissing in the Miami Heat’s Cheerios, the powers that be finally decided to send a little sunshine to Biscayne Bay last week in the form of 6′ 6″, 220-pound Duke University forward appropriately named Justise. Nobody expected Justise Winslow to last…
Let’s be honest: few fans know much about the NBA Draft. Even if you watch college basketball religiously, chances are you don’t have the time in your day to keep up with everything an 18-year-old playing in Iowa does. Plus, the NBA Draft is oddly close to the end of…
Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, and everyone associated with Fox News has blood on their hands. By constantly spreading hatred of African-Americans and other minorities, Fox News and its commentators inspire domestic terrorists like Dylann Roof to commit atrocities. The 21-year-old’s murder of nine African-Americans…
Just when the city of Cleveland thought the Cavaliers losing in the NBA Finals was all for naught, Nike comes along and saves the day with quite possibly the cheesiest LeBron James ad of all time. The excuse-filled piece of television is borderline embarrassing for all parties involved, including the…
Today’s biggest news may just hit Miami harder than any other city in the world. Pope Francis has released his Encyclical, “Laudato Si’” on the Good of the Common Home. It states that It is time to change the way we act toward the earth. It starts out thusly, defining…
It’s not that hard to say: “The Miami Heat.” That’s the name of the team that LeBron maybe-kinda-probably-on-purpose couldn’t remember during a Finals interview. It’s been almost a year since LeBron left the Heat, yet it seems as if subtle shots — from both sides — are getting more and more frequent…
It’s the time of year when DB Bistro goes a bit casual Americana and bizarre things happen. Among them: six types of house-made sausages floating around three-course whole hog feasts for up to eight people, and pistachio and raspberry baked Alaska’s flambéed tableside. In other words, the DBGB pop-up is…
