Identifying the Miami Heat’s best longshots

The 2019 NBA offseason will forever be remembered for its wealth of player movement, much of which involved basketball’s marquee names. The lasting legacy of the Miami Heat’s summer will be no different. Landing four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler—with zero cap space discernible to anyone other than expert number-cruncher Andy Elisburg—could be a fortune-changer for the […]

The best of an energized Erik Spoelstra press conference

Somebody’s happy again. Welcome back, Spoelstra. If you’ve followed my feed, you’ve known that Erik Spoelstra just hasn’t seemed quite the same the past couple of years. A mismatched roster.

Clancy conducted an […]

Jets coach Adam Gase might out-tank the Dolphins

The Dolphins got only one thing wrong in their diabolical plan for the NFL’s greatest tank: They fired Adam Gase. While I was the first local media member to suggest they dump the so-called quarterback whisperer — about halfway through the Dolphins’ 2018 season — I clearly didn’t account for what’s happened now. Gase, hired […]
