“Miami Is America’s Worst City To Be A Sports Fan”

Wait A Minute…You Can’t Insult Our Sports Teams That Way, Or Can You?

Recently Forbes Magazine has dubbed Miami the “Worst City In America For Sports Fans”. Now just hold on there. We may cry and moan about a lot of things about our local sports teams. We may dream of the next Dan Marino, we may long for Shaq to be rumbling up and down the hardwood and we may lament that the dismantling of the World Champion Marlins was a slap in the face, and we may wonder if “The U” is ever going to regain national prominence and we may even complain about the super high ticket prices, but does that mean we live in the worst place to be a sports fan?

Listen, when you guys are shoveling snow in Lambeau Field in December to watch the Packers, we’re sipping Mojitos in flip flops! You can’t beat that! And if we want to watch a baseball game in the heat of a pennant race, we can sit anywhere we want in the stadium.

Forbes says that with a $38,632 median household income for the greater Miami area, which is woefully the fifth-lowest of the 29 markets, coupled with a $292.50 price tag for a family of four to see a game, Miami is the worst economic deal for sports fans anywhere. Read more

Long Time Coming But Finally The Miami Dolphins Traded Jason Taylor

It’s a sad day here in the Fort Lauderdale real estate area. Although it had been rumored for some time, the Miami Dolphins finally went ahead and did it. They traded the heart of our team. Jason Taylor, who has been literally Mr. Everything to the Dolphins has been traded today to the Washington Redskins.

In exchange we got plenty of value…no we actually didn’t. I was kidding to stop myself from crying. The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round choice in 2010 for Taylor. Chump change for the six-time Pro Bowl defensive end - who was the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Are you kidding me? We get basically the parenthetical “player to be named later” in exchange for a star. This is absolutely crazy. I mean I support BIll Parcells in re-building the team but this in effect was performing open hear surgery, taking out a good heart, and inserting a baboon’s heart. I don’t understand!

It appears that Taylor ticked off some of his teammates by spending his offseason on the TV show “Dancing With the Stars” rather than sweating it out with teammates. Read more
