Derrick Jones Jr. Easily Could Have Dunked This Alley-Oop On A 12-Foot Rim
You have two options when you’re down over 20 points at home against one of top teams in your conference with less than three minutes remaining: you can run out the clock and mentally move on to the next game like a coward, or you can use the open floorspace and lax defense to pull off some gravity-...
Dwyane Wade Sought Out A Rookie Who Idolized Him Growing Up To Swap Jerseys
The Dwyane Wade retirement tour has turned the end of every Miami Heat game this season into a guessing game of sorts: who will the outgoing No. 3 give his jersey to in the post-game? Sure, some are obvious: Of course he was going to trade with LeBron James in their last meeting back in December, or...
Warriors Beaten On Just The Most Busted, Chaotic Dwyane Wade Buzzer-Beater
The Heat beat the Warriors Wednesday night in Miami, 126–125, in an outrageously fun basketball game. The Heat led by as many as 24 points, but the Warriors, who very often cruise distractedly through big chunks of regular season games, roared back into it and had the lead in the final minute of reg...

Dirk And Wade Buried The Hatchet
Dwyane Wade’s season-long farewell tour spent last night in Dallas, the NBA city where he’s probably most hated, first for beating the Mavericks in the 2006 Finals by drawing an ungodly amount of fouls, and then for repeatedly antagonizing local legend Dirk Nowitzki. This is also almost certainly No...
Bengals Coach Zac Taylor Hires O-Line Coach Who Was Involved In Dolphins Bullying Scandal
It didn’t take long for Richie Incognito to find another gig in the NFL after he was released by the Dolphins in 2013 for bullying and racially abusing former teammate Jonathan Martin. But Incognito’s former offensive line coach, Jim Turner, has been out of the league since 2014, when he was fired b...
Marlins Trade J.T. Realmuto To The Phillies, Who Are Quickly Going All-In
Woo-hoo, we got some real, honest-to-god MLB transaction news to talk about! Hooray! After a long winter of drawn-out rumors, the Marlins have decided to trade top catcher J.T. Realmuto to the Phillies in exchange for an enticing if unproven bag of a few players and potential future players....
There Is No Prize For Getting Under The Luxury Tax
The Heat and Pistons are currently eighth and ninth in the Eastern Conference, straddling the line between a playoff berth and a lottery berth, and separated by a game and a half in the standings. The East being what it is, it’s possible for a team to be very close to the playoff race and also very ...
Miami Hurricanes Sign Large, Tatted-Up Australian To Be Their New Punter
Australia has been a good source of punting prospects for American football, but rarely have they looked this Australian. Meet Louis Hedley, the new punter signed by the Miami Hurricanes. Yes, this guy is playing college ball:...
Drunk Heat Fan Tries To Fight Cops, Tumbles Down Several Rows Of Seats
At some point in the Miami Heat’s embarrassing 16-point home defeat to the Bulls last night, cops were called to the top of the lower bowl to deal with an apparently belligerent fan. The fan, 23-year-old Adrain Mato, was apparently arguing with some Bulls fans when the police came and told him to co...

Report: Nick Saban Had No Clue His Assistant Left For A New Job
Nick Saban treats nearly everyone in his life with maximum contempt at all times. His own fans, the media, the college football playoff scheduling committee—everyone is a target for the Alabama head coach when he’s in a pissy mood, which is about 99 percent of the time. Saban rules by fear, and that...
Idiot On The Court Rudely Upstages Nikola Jokic's Game-Winner
Nikola Jokic dumped in a highly Jokic-esque bucket with 2.4 seconds remaining Tuesday night to beat the Miami Heat. It was goofy and ugly and I’m sure Heat fans hated it all the more for looking like total luck, but anyway it went in and that’s just how it goes:...
The College Football Coaching Carousel Is Busted
Miami Hurricanes defensive coordinator Manny Diaz had accepted the head coaching position for Temple on Dec. 13. Although the Canes still had their bowl game later in the month, Diaz was locked in for the early signing period, so as to keep his new school’s recruits and convince them that it was wor...
Kiko Alonso's Failed Dirty Hit Leads To Brawl, Ejection
Most players on teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs are just trying to get through today without hurting themselves or others. Not Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso, who is out there trying (and failing) to maim Bills quarterback Josh Allen....
Week 17 Is A Great Week To Watch Quarterbacks Catch Touchdowns
The early games on Week 17 Sunday are not that interesting. Everything with some drama was flexed to 4 p.m., so fans are left watching a bunch of blowouts and meaningless games....
Miami Head Coach Mark Richt Announces Shocking Retirement
The Miami Hurricanes didn’t have a great season this year, finishing 7-6 while going 4-4 in conference play. Still, there was no reason for anyone to think that any huge changes needed to be made after Mark Richt’s third season in charge, which followed 9-4 and 10-3 campaigns. Richt himself apparent...
Justise Winslow Is Saving The Miami Heat's Season
On Friday night, Justise Winslow continued his fourth season renaissance, as the Miami Heat stomped on the Cleveland Cavaliers to the tune of a comfortable 118-94 win. Winslow finished the game with an eye-catching stat-line: 24 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, and only 2 turnovers....
Hassan Whiteside Has A Case Of Free Throw Yips
Hassan Whiteside did some cool things Wednesday night, in Miami’s narrow loss to the Toronto Raptors. He finished with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks in 31 minutes, and was a game-high plus-22. In the first quarter, with the Heat up nine and feeling frisky, Whiteside brought the ball up th...
Former Marlins President David Samson Taunts Fleeced Taxpayers: "$1.2 Billion. Fuck You!"
Miami has arguably been hit harder by the pro sports stadium scam than any other city in America. When former Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria managed to get a publicly financed stadium built in 2012, he stuck Miami-Dade County with a stupefying bill that will eventually cost taxpayers $2.4 billion. Give...
