First thought on the Miami Dolphins’ season-opening loss at New England, you’ve just got to tip your hat to Bill Belichick. The Patriots coach let the GOAT quarterback walk, shrugged off eight players opting out of the season and he simply schooled former pupil Brian Flores’ team all day long in a 21-11 clinic Sunday […]
South Florida sports are suddenly rife with intriguing personalities. Would-be difference-makers. Most are young with dynamic potential. Some already recognizable by a single name. For the Miami Heat, bound for the Eastern Conference finals, there’s Jimmy (Butler, the veteran exception, spearheading this run in his first season in Miami), Bam (Adebayo), (Tyler, we didn’t have […]
This football season is about a lot more than football. The stakes are much more complex than vying for the playoffs. For South Florida, that was underscored last week when the Miami Dolphins began a practice with a 20-minute discussion on the field about racial injustice in the wake of the police shooting of yet […]
(Photo above: Marlins newcomer Jesus Aguilar, seen in spring training, has emerged as a team leader and power force with three home runs.) They have always been the Bizarro Marlins. A franchise that began with a knuckleball has taken more screwball turns than a runaway rollercoaster. From two unlikely World Series championships without ever […]
There was a time when the scariest situation for a young sports writer in South Florida was to be confronted by The Jaw. When Don Shula singled you out for his wrath it left an impression. That stalwart chin — often described as chiseled granite — boring in is among the images that stand out […]
Look beneath the joy of the Miami Dolphins landing Tua Tagovailoa, who they hope finally becomes the franchise quarterback they’ve been seeking, and what stands out from their very active 2020 draft is this: Winning NFL teams aren’t built in a day. Not in an offseason. Not in a single draft, even when you have […]
Finally, the day that everyone invested in the Miami Dolphins has been obsessing over for a year. All the agonizing and analyzing, hand-wringing and hoping through a lost season has led to the most important draft in Dolphins franchise history. Remember, everyone thought they were “Tanking for Tua.” Now Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is within […]
They are the new faces on the Miami Dolphins, and they are excited to be coming to South Florida. That’s what newly signed cornerback Byron Jones, running back Jordan Howard, versatile defender Kyle Van Noy and the other players who joined the Dolphins via free agency last week said Thursday on a media teleconference call. […]
The most encouraging aspect of the Miami Dolphins’ startling flurry of acquisitions at the onset of free agency is that it revealed the method to the madness of last season. GM Chris Grier and Co. accumulated a huge stockpile of assets — beaucoup draft picks and money under the salary cap — and Monday quickly […]
JUPITER Welcome to Camp Optimism, which is a most unfamiliar moniker for Miami Marlins spring training. It’s not full-blown optimism, mind you, in the sense of, hey, we’re ready to kick ass like a genuine big fish. That would be absurd for a team coming off a 105-loss season, and that’s not what’s going on […]
