Last Night On <em>Hard Knocks</em>, We Learned What NFL GMs Use As Their Version Of Facebook (And Got Ryan Tannehill's Cell Number)
HBO's Hard Knocks has to maintain a balance between access and secrecy.

Remembering When Bill Russell Played A Corrupt Judge On <em>Miami Vice</em>
I'd love to know the backstory behind this inspired bit of casting. Who is it that looks at a script calling for a corrupt Miami judge and says, "Get me Bill Russell on the phone now!" Indeed, in a second-season episode of Miami Vice, Russell makes a star turn as a crooked judge who pays off gambl...
The Braves Won Their First Monday Game In Nearly A Year
Looks like Garfield and Carl Crawford's heckler aren't the only ones who hate Mondays. The Braves had put together a mystifying, 0-16 streak in Monday games going back to last August. What's more, it hasn't been close: Atlanta only had three one-run losses over that span, all to the Marlins....
The Miami Marlins Are Getting The Bad Season They Deserve

Jose Reyes Home Run Drills Wrigley Field Usher In The Back
The Marlins announcers were oddly impressed that Reyes was able to hit one out to right even with the wind at Wrigley blowing in, but a reader named Justin happened to notice where the ball actually lands.

Ozzie Guillen May Wish To Avoid Taking Managerial Advice From Tinfoil Hat Guy
Ever-profane Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen got himself into a bit of hot water Sunday as his gripes about Nats rookie Bryce Harper's bat drew the ire of home plate umpire Marty Foster.

Last Night's <em>The Franchise: Miami Marlins</em> Distilled Down To Its Motherfucking Essence
The Miami Marlins all-access curse-fest that is The Franchise premiered last night on Showtime, and the first episode made for enjoyable viewing (more enjoyable, at least, than the ESPY Awards, which it ran against).

Giancarlo Stanton, the hulking Marlins right fielder, is having one hell of an age-22 season—19 home runs, a .284/.364/.554 batting line, an all-star spot, solid gold stuff. Or, well, Stanton's season was solid gold until he hurt his knee. He underwent surgery today and pulled out of the home run de...
Ray Allen Leaves Boston Just As He Found It: In Shambles
Last night Ray Allen told Miami Heat officials that he will be accepting their "mini mid-level" contract offer of about $3 million. Boston is reacting with its usual restrained dignity.

Ray Allen is indeed in Miami talking over a possible deal to sign with the Heat, but the contract's far from signed. Don't tell Miami's Fox affiliate WSVN that, though, as they interrupted tonight's newscast to deliver the breaking news that Allen had signed a three-year, $11 million contract....
