Miami Heat Win Streak Is Over At 27 Games
The Miami heat failed to win a game for the first time since a February 1 loss against the Pacers. The next Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday, the Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 100-85 and kept on winning until tonight. ...
Marlins Attendance Is Going To Be A Disaster
Planning to go to the Marlins' home opener on April 8, as Miami kicks off yet another rebuilding year? The odds are: you're probably not. But the Marlins are doing whatever they can to get you in the ballpark: Half-off tickets through Groupon! Two-for-one deals! A free all-you-can-eat buffet! How ab...
Former Dolphins Star Mark Duper Allegedly Beat The Shit Out Of His Teenage Son
Mark Duper, the best non-Mark-Clayton receiver of the Dan Marino era, was charged yesterday with a felony count of child abuse. He is accused of twice knocking out his 17-year-old son, in a drawn-out brawl that sounds like Roddy Piper's big fight in They Live....
LeBron James Caps 27-Point Comeback, Is Frightening
Here's LeBron James erasing what was a 27-point deficit with an egregious pull-up three before turning towards the Cleveland crowd to strike a conqueror's pose. It's kind of scary, isn't it? Not scary because LeBron James is a frightening person, but because it's unsettling to know that someone can...
Fan Rushes Onto Court During Heat-Cavs Game, Shakes LeBron's Hand
A weird night in Cleveland (delayed start due to condensation followed by the Cavs jumping out to a 20-point lead on Miami) got stranger when a fan rushed onto the court and managed to shake LeBron James's hand....
Upon Further Review, The Overscrupulous NBA Replay Policy Wastes Everyone's Damn Time
March Madness arrived early in last night's Boston-Miami game, but that had less to do with LeBron James's improbably perfect game-winning jumper over Jeff Green, and far more to do with the mindless, inane three-and-three-quarter-minute review on the following play....
LeBron James Is A Better Defender Than The Computerized Version Of An Ideal NBA Defender
There is plenty of great information to be gleaned from Zach Lowe's exclusive look at the Toronto Raptors' camera tracking system, known as SportVU, but buried within the piece is yet another anecdote that demonstrates the fact that LeBron James is not of this planet....
Here's Jim Ross Calling LeBron James's Monster Dunk On Jason Terry
We all knew this was coming....
Miami Withstands Jeff Green, Continues To Roll
The Heat won Monday night for the 23rd straight time, leaving only the 71-72 Lakers with a longer streak at 33....
Here Is A Perfect LeBron James Dunk
The Heat are in Boston this evening attempting to extend their winning streak to 23 games. The Celtics lead 59-53 at the half after jumping out to a big early lead....

Dolphins Lineman Richie Incognito Is Big-Time Man-Crushing On Jake Long To Woo Him Back To Miami
Jake Long, the No. 1 overall pick by Miami in 2008, is presently an ex-Dolphin, via free agency. This does not sit well with Richie Incognito, the fellow Dolphins o-lineman (above, right). Long (above, left) may have been banged up with sundry injuries the past couple of years, but if he would come ...
The Marlins Should Probably Take Down This Poster Of Their Canceled Reality Show And High-Priced Free Agents
Remember The Franchise? Showtime's answer to Hard Knocks, but with baseball? Last year's second season followed around those NL-favorite Marlins, with top talent like Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, all led by fiery manager Ozzie Guillen. Well, the series was cut short mid-ru...
NCAA Investigator Asked Judge To Take It Easy On Convicted Ponzi Schemer Nevin Shapiro
An NCAA investigator wrote a letter on Nevin Shapiro's behalf before his 2011 sentencing, the Associated Press reported last night. This should feel surprising: The NCAA is nominally devoted to preserving beautiful, ancient Greek ideals: competitive integrity, athletic amateurism, and scholarship, w...
The Heat Win Their 16th Straight, But Not Without Getting Every Single Break
The Heat got lucky. They got all the rolls, all the whistles, and the winner, a LeBron James layup with three seconds left, came off a timeout that was never called. It's almost a paradox: You get all the breaks when you're the type of team that can win 16 in a row, but you also don't win 16 in a ro...
Chicago's Kiss Cam Is Almost As Hot As The Blackhawks
Here's a lady and gent thoroughly enjoying their time on the United Center's Kiss Cam during the Blackhawks win over the Colorado Avalanche. And why not? The Blackhawks won again tonight with a last-minute goal from Daniel Carcillo; it was his first of the season. Jonathan Toews also chipped in wit...
Georgia Tech Upset Miami At The Buzzer
Marcus Georges-Hunt missed his initial shot, but followed up the miss with a tip-in as time expired for just his second field goal of the game. The Yellow Jackets won 71-69 in a game that saw the Hurricanes blow an 11-point second-half lead. Miami could have wrapped up outright possession of the r...
Miami Residents Will Vote On Whether To Publicly Finance The Dolphins' Stadium Renovations
The Dolphins, who own their own stadium, want $400 million worth of upgrades. And they want Miami-Dade County taxes to foot the bill for half. The excuses are familiar—we want to host Super Bowls, we could move to Los Angeles instead—but the battleground is unique. South Florida residents were burne...
J.J. Barea Ejected After Shoving Ray Allen, Calls Him A "Fucking Pussy"
The Miami Heat easily dispatched with the Minnesota Timberwolves 97-81 tonight but early in the fourth quarter things were still relatively close. Then J.J. Barea decided to go rogue. As you can see, he did not appreciate a little elbow/shove from Ray Allen that went uncalled and so, after collect...
