The fact that I can start writing this as a positive story by halftime is a testament to this amazing confidence swing that these 2011 Miami Dolphins, and apparently us fans too, have enjoyed recently. Momentum is a hell of a drug. The Buffalo Bills came into Dolphins Stadium with a 5-4 record after starting 3-0, and reeling off of a 44-7 thrashing at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. The Dolphins came in winners of two in a row, confident and defiant with their 2-7 record. The Bills started... Read More →
Jedi Mind Tricks are underground mainstays in the Hip-Hop world. The core of the group has always been rapper Vinnie Paz and producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. Blood drinker Jus Allah, the third member, realigned with the group in 2007 after a six-year solo hiatus. This is the third J.M.T. album to have Vinnie and Jus trading verses, but now Stoupe’s amazing and intricate production has been replaced. For the hardcore/horror-core group’s seventh overall album Violence Begets Violence,... Read More →

To you K-Rino fans out there, I’ll admit it; I’m one of the people that first heard him on his three standout verses from the new Canibus album Lyrical Law. After more research, I found out dude has released 28 albums and has been rocking for over 20 years. The love this man gets on forums and online message boards is unparalleled, with throngs of people proclaiming him the best rapper in the world. K-Rino releases all of his music independently through Southparkcoalition and refuses... Read More →
Let us begin by stating this is the new Wu-Tang album, but it is not the new Wu-Tang Clan album. Six original members (No Gza or Masta Killa…ouch) are here to bring you Shaolin’s finest, with the music provided by Brooklyn soul band The Revelations. The rest of the lyrics are supplied by artists that have been ripping mics for years such as Sean Price, AZ, Cappadonna and M.O.P. This album is essentially a follow-up to 2009′s Wu-Tang Chamber Music, which followed the same format... Read More →
When 80-year old Captain Jack McKeon took over managing duties for the Florida Marlins on June 21st, the fish were going through an awful 1-18 month. At one point earlier in the year, the Marlins were second in baseball with a 29-19 record and were the darlings of baseball analysts who praised the pitching staff and ability to win close games. The “June Swoon” is now over at the season’s halfway point and has left the marlins at 36-46, while costing the jobs of former manager... Read More →
Nobody said this would be easy. Oh wait…yes they did. Everybody did. I was one of the Miami Heat fans who said this team would win 70 games this season, and they still may if you include the playoffs! I guess I should be more specific next time. The Heat bounced back from its five-game losing streak (Which before the season seemed unfathomable) in a big way by beating the two-time defending NBA champion L.A. Lakers, the Memphis Grizzlies, and the San Antonio Spurs in succession. The victories... Read More →
The young football program gets to keep its first legend. FIU wide receiver and return specialist T.Y. “Goodbye” Hilton decided to stay at Florida International University for his senior year to earn his degree in Sports Broadcasting, as well as improve his NFL Draft stock for 2012. Retaining the multi-threat star, who is known for his blazing speed and ability to score in multiple ways, solidifies the eighth year program FIU as a favorite to repeat as Sun Belt Conference champions....

The dominant shadow previously cast by University of Miami football over the city is receding a bit. Amid the darkness, Florida International University sprouted and is trying to grab some of the Miami sunlight. In its biggest growth spurt yet, FIU defeated Arkansas State saturday afternoon 31-24 in front of an enthusiastic crowd at FIU Stadium to clinch the Sun-Belt Conference championship and a bowl game…both firsts for the school. Meanwhile, about nine miles away, UM was staying in the... Read More →
The Dolphins best offensive player, apparently. "Look at me...look at me! I did this to you" Miami has found a new version of the “Road Warriors”. Borrowing the nickname from the ’96-’97 Miami Heat team that won 33 games away from home, these 2010 Miami Dolphins look more comfortable on the road than…a car bed? I don’t blame them; the speakers at Whatever-it’s-called-this-year Stadium are always blaring T-Pain, Fergie and the teams infamously-butchered... Read More →
