Here's The Tribute To José Fernández From Tonight's Univision Sports Awards

There Is One Very Good Reason To Watch The Dolphins And Jets On Saturday Night
The Dolphins and Jets play tomorrow night in the first Saturday game of this season. If you didn’t already know that, I regret having to be the one to inform you.

Want A Reason To Watch The Miami Heat? (No?) James Johnson<em></em>
The Miami Heat have mostly been a mess this season.

New Orleans Baby Cakes Mascot Fulfills Commitment To The Minor-League Snarl<em></em>
The AAA baseball team formerly known as the New Orleans Zephyrs will henceforth be known as the New Orleans Baby Cakes. This is undoubtedly a unique mascot, one that will surely draw internet ire the same way that fellow New Orleanian King Cake Baby (deservedly) did, but Baby Cakes is a good mascot....
