Chris Bosh to the Heat’s Kids: Lead

In the morning, we will post my 35-minute conversation with former Heat forward Chris Bosh, on everything from cologne to controversy to glory. And we will insert the link here, so you can listen to all of it, on Apple or Android. But here’s one clip that may get some attention. Bosh has never been […]

Who is the Bran Stark of Miami sports?

Don’t hit us with “no spoilers.” Everyone who has ever watched Game of Thrones has probably seen — and complained about — the finale by now, so all bets are off here. Bran Stark is on the Iron Throne, at least until the not-yet-dead characters reunite for a cinematic moneygrab, and a lot of people […]

Can the Heat find another Justise or Bam at 13?

The Heat will continue to need to build through the middle, unless they can flip picks and players for a superstar, which doesn’t seem especially likely over the next season. Until that opportunity arises, Miami’s front office and scouting staff will be looking at options for No. 13 this season, hoping to get a player […]

Barring something unforeseen the Marlins are headed toward […]

Adam Gase keeps failing forward fast

It’s been quite the soft, lucrative landing for failed quarterback whisperer Adam Gase. The former Dolphins head coach, who created more excuses than first downs last season before his firing, snapped up a job with the New York Jets. Now he’s got a second one there, after the surprising, oddly timed firing of Mike Maccagnan. […]

Scenes from a Miami Heat lottery party

We didn’t win…. But we didn’t lose! The Miami Heat had about the same chance to jump into the top 4 of Tuesday’s NBA Draft lottery as they did to drop from No. 13 to 14. And they didn’t do either. They stayed at No. 13. Which should count as a small victory for our […]

All Hail the Hebrew Hammer… or Chosen Rosen

A new era of Miami Dolphins football starts Tuesday in Davie. P.T. That doesn’t stand for Post Traumatic, though it could. It stands for Post Tannehill. Ryan is in Tennessee, failing to feel pressure in the pocket, and a new sheriff is in town. A sheriff who may celebrate the Sabbath. Great to get back […]
