… and there's ALWAYS a message involved.
You’re the young, physically gifted athlete with the game IQ to be a star in the NFL; rendering you cocky with a side of feeling unstoppable.

So the question arises, how much money is too much for an unproven rookie? Let’s begin with the process of how an NFL team evaluates its needs. When rebuilding a team, as seen with St.... Read More →
On July 19, 2010 skateboarders (and their supporters) came from near and far to support the Biscayne Skate Park project that is being threatened.

We’re surrounded by persecution and narrow mindedness every day. The narrow minded persecutors are often the first to claim themselves victims and also the first to point fingers. A vocal and some may call, slanderous group of Miami citizens are pointing fingers at those involved in the 24,000 sq. ft. Biscayne Skate Park project on land owned by the city at 150 NE 19th St. The skateboard park has been two years in the making (circa December 2008) and after countless layers of red tape, formulating,...

The great Heat heist... Read More →

There are a few things that I learned from this year’s NFL Draft. First, the Miami Dolphins’ best draft pick this year was Brandon Marshall. Before you say, “Hey dumbass, he’s not a rookie. We acquired him from the Broncos in a mugging…I mean a trade.” Welcome to the Miami Dolphins, Brandon Marshall. Now, don't fuck it up! No shit…the Dolphins gave up a second round pick in the draft for the guy, so he’s the cat’s meow of this year’s... Read More →

After being bounced from the playoffs in the first round by the Boston Celtics Tuesday, Sports Talk Radio was inundated with callers wanting to know whether Wade will defect or resign... Read More →
The Hatfields and the McCoys. The Bloods and the Crips. Tom and Jerry. Marty McFly and the Biff Tannen. What do they all have in common? That’s right…bitter hatred. These are enemies who despise each other with the very fiber of their souls. Much like the greatest team on Earth, the Miami Dolphins and those shit-munchers, the New York Jets. Rivals. Enemies. Highlanders. Teams with much, much beef. So you can imagine how floored I was when I found out the news. Oh, what news, you ask? Well, much... Read More →
