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 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

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 ...

Embiid Tells ESPN “Butler Was a Big Loss”

Joel Embiid took a few shots to his own teammates, somehow... Apparently, Philadelphia 76ers fans don't agree with their star center about Heat forward Jimmy Butler. While those fans have been furiously tweeting that Butler didn't choose "winning" when he decided to leave for Miami in free agency this summer, Joel Embiid told Rachel Nichols ...

What are the odds the Dolphins go 0-16?

Let's talk about odds... The 2019 season has been anything but entertaining for the Miami Dolphins and their loyal fanbase.  Unless of course you believe in the art of tanking, in which case you are probably very supportive of Miami's efforts this NFL season.  Truth is, Miami is on pace to become the worst team in ...

The unofficial Miami Dolphins viewing guide

After four weeks of Regular Season NFL Football the Dolphins stand at 0-4 with the worst point differential in the league, losing games by an average of 34 points, not scoring a single point in any 2nd half, so as you can tell it’s been tough. Miami is very clearly tanking so rooting for them ...

Recap of the  2019 Marlins

Recap of the 2019 Marlins

It's hard to recap such a negative season, but here we go. Let's all be honest, no one expected the team to be any good whatsoever. We expected at least a 60-win season with many ups and downs. The Marlins finished the season with a 57-105 record which was pretty much expected. I'm sure we ...

The best of an energized Erik Spoelstra press conference

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. A max player who didn't always go with the program. Too many low-upside players who played the same position. Well, that's changed. Here's the best ...

Dolphins’ pass-rushers hungry for more

/ / Football, South Florida
As many expected, the Miami Dolphins fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 30-10 at home on Sunday.  And despite looking like the better team for the better part of the first half, the team reverted back to their old ways at halftime.  But it wasn’t all doom and gloom on this day. One player in ...
