Here Are Some Angry Letters People Sent To The FCC After M.I.A. Flipped Off The Super Bowl
Maybe this doesn't need to be said, but normal people don't complain to the FCC. It's not that they don't get offended: it's just that it takes a hell of a lot more to offend them than the sort of thing that actually makes it on television. Like M.I.A. slipping a middle finger past NBC censors. Not ...
The D Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore: Farewell, Dontrelle Willis, Crazy-Armed Everyman
The pitchers who wow us these days don't remind us of anything familiar. Most of MLB's sharpest aces—Justin Verlander, Jered Weaver, Roy Halladay, Clayton Kershaw, and C.C. Sabathia—were first-round picks, blessed with a freakish ability to throw much harder than their competitors, and groomed for m...
The Dolphins Have Spent An Offseason Humiliating Themselves
Believe me when I tell you that I say this with zero malice: the Dolphins are a pathetic franchise at the moment.

The Marlins Are Testing The Safety Of Their Fish Tank By Throwing Baseballs At It
I love me some animal welfare, but can't get too worked up by the Marlins having a tank filled with live fish embedded in the backstop of the new Marlins Park. For one, fish are dumb. For another, the other option, the ocean, is not exactly a paradise. There are predators and seaquakes and boats and...
Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall Accused Of Punching A Woman In Club FIght
It was reasonable to assume that the Dolphins parted with Brandon Marshall, for a discount price, to make Peyton Manning happy. It's the same sort of roster-baiting the Titans are engaging in with their very public courtship of guard Steve Hutchison. But things can have, like, more than one reason, ...
Dolphins Trade Brandon Marshall To Chicago Because Of Peyton Manning
Why would the Dolphins trade their best receiver to the Bears just two years after executing a deal to get him in the first place? Easy: To get Peyton Manning. Or so goes the theory of those who believe Manning had qualms about playing with Brandon Marshall, who is known to be ornery despite his obv...

Rob Lowe Is On Vacation And Unable To Comment About Where Peyton Manning Will Sign [UPDATE]
On Jan. 18, Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe reported that Peyton Manning would retire from the NFL that evening. We now know that report was erroneous.

Marlins President Calls Miamians Stupid, Jose Reyes Greedy
If you know anything about the sweetheart deal the city gave the Marlins to build a new stadium, you know team president David Samson basically bent Miami over a pinball machine and had his way with it. But he's far from done with the humiliation—with his remarks to a gathering of local business lea...
Peyton Manning May Sign With The Jets Or Dolphins Or 49ers Or Not
The news is barely a few hours old that the Indianapolis Colts will not pay quarterback Peyton Manning his $28 million roster bonus, thus freeing him to sign with any NFL team next season. You know who's interested in snagging the four-time MVP? Everyone! Well, mostly. A select few would be thrilled...

The colorfully gaudy sculpture, which will do this when the Marlins hit a home run, will be positioned in left-center field, where it could be in the field of vision of left-handed batters. [Miami Herald]...
The American University Swim Team Went To Miami And Got Their LMFAO On
We've been inundated with links to this little video that the American University men's swim team made during a training trip to Miami Beach. That means one of two things: either this is on its way to being the next D1 viral video, or all the people sending links are on AU's swim team, and they re...

Can LeBron James Do Anything Right?
Following the Miami Heat loss to the Utah Jazz, a loss in which LeBron scored 17 in the fourth quarter but passed on the final possession, the argument goes like this: "It was the right 'basketball' play, but I would like to see LeBron take that shot." Or, as ESPN's resident basketball-as-played in...
Marlins Park Now Has Fish
And so the assorted tangs and bettas have been moved to their home, their prison, their eternal resting place behind home plate at the new Marlins Park.
