Dolphins Select Herbert and Jeudy in Latest Tankathon Mock Draft

One week ago, the Dolphins were sitting pretty at the top of the 2020 NFL Draft order.  And although there was still plenty of football to be played, fans could breath a sigh of relief.  After all, anything less than the first-overall pick would be a massive disappointment.  Which, to be honest, has been the ...
Butler and the Bucket: the Love Affair continues

Butler and the Bucket: the Love Affair continues

We first saw this Butler affair flourish in Chicago. That's where Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro started posting Instagram love letters to each other, shooting and sneering together in workouts. Now, though, their affection is in full bloom. Jimmy Butler clearly likes guys who get it. Who not only can play, but play really really ...

Dolphins QB search: The Jake Fromm Play That "Didn't Happen"

Dolphins QB search: The Jake Fromm Play That “Didn’t Happen”

It may seem like a simple 7- yard completion from Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm to a receiver. But it's more than that. Chris Kouffman (@CKParrot) of Three Yards Per Carry -- our popular Dolphins analysis podcast -- breaks down why this completion shows off so many of Fromm's unique abilities. Follow the thread below: Here’s ...
Don't forget about the Meyers Leonard addition

Don’t forget about the Meyers Leonard addition

Meyers Leonard is not the name that comes to mind of Heat fans when thinking of new acquisitions. In an offseason that netted Miami a top 10 player in Jimmy Butler (yea, I said it), Leonard’s name gets lost in the fanfare. Don’t let it. Not just because he and his wife Elle are social ...
Miami Dolphins add project player Antonio Garcia to team

Miami Dolphins add project player Antonio Garcia to team

This is an intriguing signing by the Miami Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins made a move on Monday. It is not a move that is going to generate headlines, but it is certainly of note. The team claimed offensive tackle Antonio Garcia off waivers. There is no doubt that Garcia is a bit of a project ...

Miami Hurricanes: Should They Lock up the Chain?

Miami Hurricanes: Should They Lock up the Chain?

The Miami Hurricanes suffered a demoralizing defeat at the hands of Virginia Tech Saturday 42-35 in front of a stunned crowd at Hard Rock Stadium. Should the Hurricanes lock up the "Turnover Chain" and touchdown rings until they start locking up wins? A furious comeback including 21 points in the final quarter was not enough ...
Should Marlins Consider Starlin Castro?

Should Marlins Consider Starlin Castro?

Starlin Castro had a really rough start to the 2019 season and May was by far his worst month. In May he hit for a .208 average with no home runs and 8 RBIs. He performed way below expectations for a veteran who is known for hitting ability. Castro struggled in the first half of ...
Miami Heat scrimmage showcases team's new look

Miami Heat scrimmage showcases team’s new look

The Dolphins couldn't lose Sunday. Neither could the Hurricanes. And of course, neither could the Heat. They were playing themselves, after all, for the Red, White and Pink Scrimmage to benefit breast cancer research. Naturally, not much defense was played. But the energy was different -- as in better -- than it's been the past ...
A South Florida team wins! Panthers take home opener

A South Florida team wins! Panthers take home opener

Some team needs to save us. The Miami Heat may do it. They feel better about this particular roster than any since the Big 3 era. Erik Spoelstra couldn't stop smiling all week at training camp at Keiser University in West Palm Beach. But the Florida Panthers may have more talent, as ranked in its particular ...
Jimmy Butler: "Who says I'm the best player?"

Jimmy Butler: “Who says I’m the best player?”

It's odd to think of Jimmy Butler as especially modest. He'll openly tell you that he will beat you at just about anything, whether it's dominoes or paddleball. Basketball? Well, he's willing to concede a bit. Pat Riley called him a top-10 player. Erik Spoelstra declared him "one of the 15 best players on the ...
