Look At This Bills-Ass Play
With a minute to go in the game, and the Bills at 4th and 11, quarterback Josh Allen got the snap, dropped back, weaseled and spun his way free from defenders, squared up, and chucked a potentially game-winning pass to the end zone where receiver Charles Clay waited, wide open. ...
Mark Richt Unable To Recruit His Own Nephew
University of Miami head coach Mark Richt seemed all set to have one of the best high school quarterbacks in the country join his program next year. Not only had four-star quarterback Max Johnson verbally committed to Miami in February of 2016, he also happens to be Richt’s nephew. So it came as a b...
The Colts and Dolphins Turned It Over On Three Straight Plays
The Dolphins and Colts were cruising along, having a normal game, when they suddenly started to just give the ball to the other team....
The Marlins Have A New Logo And New Uniforms, Again
The 25 years of the Marlins’ existence has been a demonstration of a team that doesn’t know what it is or wants to be. So it’ll try again, with its third rebrand in a quarter of a century, including new colors, a new logo, and four new uniforms....
The Good Version Of Hassan Whiteside Shut Down The Spurs
Miami Heat big man Hassan Whiteside struggles at times and has had some trouble getting along with Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley, particularly after last season’s playoffs when Riley publicly called out Whiteside’s readiness and conditioning. But there was no question whatsoever about Whiteside’s mot...
Jets And Dolphins Will Play On The Same Mud Pit Duke And Miami Mucked About In Yesterday
A combination of heavy rain and dozens of large, cleated football players stomping around on it for a couple hours meant yesterday’s Duke-Miami game, played for some reason in the Dolphins’ stadium, took place on top of a surface that looked more like a swamp than a football field. Which is bad news...
Former Marlin Justin Wayne Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison For Con Involving Drug Addicts' Urine
Justin Wayne was a bust. The fifth overall pick in the 2000 MLB draft, Wayne appeared in just 26 games over three seasons with the Florida Marlins, putting up an ERA over 6 (but earning a World Series ring along the way). Wayne’s post-baseball career was more successful, and more lucrative, at least...
Dolphins Improvise Delightful New Way Of Advancing Upfield
It’s been a funny night in Houston. The Texans were hit with a personal foul for making contact with a long-snapper. Danny Amendola threw a touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins had one of the most insane catches you will ever see nullified by offsetting penalties. But the wildest play of all has to be this ri...
Dolphins Gifted Red Zone First Down On Highly Suspect Illegal Contact Penalty
The NFL’s rules about who can hit who and when, and how, and where, are even more confusing than I thought. Tonight the Dolphins were gifted a first down and half the distance to the goal on a call I’m not sure I’ve ever seen before: a personal foul against the Texans for making contact with, uh, th...
DeVante Parker's Agent Calls Adam Gase "Incompetent," Says The Coach Should "Make Himself Inactive"
Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has appeared in two games this season, but “appeared” is a word with a lot of wiggle room. He was targeted just three times in Week 3, and was only on the field for four snaps in Week 6. He’s otherwise been struggling with injury, first a broken finger and then ...
No One's Really Sure What The Dolphins Did With Ryan Tannehill
Brocktober rolls on, as the Dolphins have announced that Brock Osweiler will be under center Sunday’s game against Detroit, his second straight start after replacing Ryan Tannehill, who was a game-day scratch with a shoulder injury in Week 6. What exactly Tannehill’s injury is, and how it got so bad...
Kenyan Drake Experienced The Full Spectrum Of Emotions In The Dolphins' Nutty Overtime Win
Things got real weird in Miami at the end of Bears-Dolphins. After a scoreless first half, Chicago roared back with three touchdowns in the third quarter. It seemed like the Brock Osweiler-led Dolphins were toast, but Albert Wilson forced overtime with a pair of long catch-and-run touchdowns, boosti...
Leonard Floyd Suplexed Danny Amendola Into The Turf And Gifted The Dolphins A Score<em></em>
The Dolphins scored first in their game against the Bears today and while head coach Adam Gase should be celebrated for somehow getting an offense to succeed under the helm of Brock Osweiler, it’s not like Miami didn’t have any help getting near the end zone....
Brock Osweiler To Start Over Ryan Tannehill Against Chicago And Likely Die
A season that began with momentary optimism for the Miami Dolphins has slowly regressed to become the staple of comical mediocrity we all expected it to be. The team’s prospects against the Chicago Bears and their man-eating defensive unit for Sunday got even worse when the Dolphins announced that s...
Pat Riley Denies Calling Tom Thibodeau A Motherfucker And Takes Shot At Danny Ainge In Statement<em></em>
Heat president Pat Riley released a statement on Friday denying that he ever called Tom Thibodeau a motherfucker during negotiations with the Timberwolves coach and president for disgruntled superstar Jimmy Butler....
Report: Pat Riley Called Tom Thibodeau A Motherfucker For Trying To Squeeze Him On A Jimmy Butler Trade
It’s no secret that Timberwolves coach and president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau does not want to trade the disgruntled Jimmy Butler, since sacrificing short-term success for long-term planning is not in his own best interests. But thanks to ESPN’s Jorge Sedano, we have a really good stor...
Udonis Haslem Sues Animal Hospital For Denying Him His Rightful Dog Semen
Longtime Miami Heat big man Udonis Haslem—present tense, as Haslem is still on the active roster despite averaging less than a point per game in 14 appearances last year—is suing a Florida animal hospital and one of its doctors for castrating his prized show dog, thus denying the three-time NBA cham...
The Dolphins Politely Waited Until The Second Half To Doo-Doo Their Pants
The Miami Dolphins started the season 3-0 before they were thoroughly exposed by the Patriots in Week 4. But they’ve always played poorly in Foxboro, so there was a chance to bounce back, albeit on the road against the 3-1 Bengals. On Sunday, the Fins actually held a 17-0 lead in the third quarter—b...
Ass Team Of The Week: Do Not Ever Feel That You Must Respect The Dolphins
This is my favorite part of the NFL season, in part because I get a certain thrill out of watching teams that roar off to surprisingly hot starts being put ruthlessly back into their places. I feel like I’ve lived through seven or eight NFL seasons that began with, like, the Buffalo Bills going 3-0,...
Bill Belichick On Dolphins Apparent Fake Injury: "That's Fucking Bullshit"<em></em>
Dolphins CB Bobby McCain didn’t seem to be prepared for a fourth-down play the Patriots were setting up during the second quarter of their game today, and he solved his problem by giving his team a free timeout....
