Dan Marino believes the Dolphins have their Super Bowl QB

These are the current and former NBA players who need their own podcast
A decade ago, who would have thought that current and former players would be the best analysts and commentators in the NBA? A novel idea, eh? Former players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s “All The Smoke” and Gilbert Arenas were early purveyors of player-run podcasts. It’s since evolved to includ...
Draymond Green nearing end of Warriors' stint?; Why Joel Embiid's 70 points isn' that great; League just can't quit Doc Rivers
Years of incidents both on and off the basketball court have finally caught up with Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green.

The Heat got better <i>and</i> saved money by trading Kyle Lowry
One of the greatest charge-drawers the world has ever seen is no longer with the Miami Heat. Kyle Lowry will be creating turnovers by hitting the deck somewhere else for the rest of the season.

A playoff game for the top pick in the NFL Draft sounds good — until you remember that human beings would be participating in it
Professional athletes play sports for two reasons: They play to make money and to win games. There is no other incentive necessary, or that would even work, to get the maximum effort out of players. And what would certainly be a terrible idea, is adding a “playoff game,” in which the result is the w...

Tua Tagovailoa’s charlatan season sets Miami up for a difficult choice this offseason
Miami is the nexus of cult phenomenons. Heat Culture, cryptocurrency, crash diets. Over the last year and a half, Tua Tagavailoa has also become a South Beach cult favorite.

NFL scriptwriters couldn’t have penned a better ending to the regular season than Bills-Dolphins
Give the NFL credit. The league obviously hired writers from disparate backgrounds to arrange the season’s plotlines. On Sunday, the Week 18 finale will climax with an end-of-season clash of genres between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, who couldn’t be more different. The Dolphins even have a...

Bowl shenanigans are at full-throat
The great thing about bowl season is it lets fans check in on programs they may not have watched much during the regular season. With 86 teams participating across 43 exhibitions, and little else to do but veg out on football, this seems like a good time for a little peer review. On Thursday, Miami ...

The Dolphins need to beat a good team

Social media sports troll strikes again at DII hoop game
Some fans will do anything for attention, and then there are content creators for whom attention is the entire point.

The Dolphins’ fatal flaw can’t be on the offensive side of the ball, can it?
The Miami Dolphins offense can cook like no other unit we’ve seen in a long time. Mike McDaniel has perfectly calibrated pre-snap motion, the running game, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Tua Tagovailoa to form the Greatest Show on Surf. It’s a diabolical mix of talent and scheme that’s borderline im...

Today’s NFL is mediocre, Tom Brady? How about the AFC East throughout your career?
Finally, someone out there has the guts to stand up to Tom Brady. Yes he has six championship rings and is the only player in NFL history to reach 600 career touchdown passes. However, that doesn’t make him infallible. After all, his 2007 New England Patriots did pull a 2015-16 Golden State Warriors...
The best fan-hosted NBA podcasts

Week 11 NFL Takeaways: Lions, Dolphins and Texans escape disaster
Winning a game does not mean the victorious team is better than the one that lost. The football is oblong and takes several unpredictable bounces every game. Sometimes sure-handed running backs fumble and undependable quarterbacks throw for 400 yards and four touchdown passes....
MLS is playing pretty fast and loose with Lionel Messi’s injury
The problem with hinging an entire league’s reputation and financial fortune on one man is what do you do when that man isn’t around? If you’re MLS, you kind of shut your eyes, put your fingers in your ears, and pretend it’s not a problem. ...
