    Ten easy ways for the Miami Dolphins to clear cap space
    At first glance, the Miami Dolphins’ books look bleak. The NFL has yet to announce the 2016 salary cap, but insiders estimate it will be around $154 million.Between currently liabilities and accounting credits from 2015, by unofficial estimates, the Dolphins are already some $5 million over that figure. At the very least, they’re right against the cap.So how can the team expect to improve on a 6-10 season from a year ago with zero wiggle room?The simple answer: Cut. Restructure. And repeat.With..

    Why Qatar Might End Up Paying the Bills for David Beckham's Miami ...
    Separating fact from fancy in the David Beckham MLS story is about as easy as keeping Zlatan off the score sheet. Even though Beckham has secured MLS approval for a privately built stadium in Overtown, his group still has yet to buy all the land, nail down construction plans, or — most important — line up the investors to pay for everything. Meanwhile, British tabloids and the international soccer press latch onto every anonymous Becks rumor ginned up on Twitter. So take any tidbit of so-called ..

    It should come as no surprise that South Florida has an abundance of health-conscious restaurants.After the New Year’s resolutions and trend diets fade, when colder parts of the country return to the calorie-laden comforts of veal parmesan and pasta carbonara, we remain in year-round bikini season. And sometimes that means having to choose salad over steak. Thankfully, South Florida restaurants that serve cold-pressed juices, gluten-free baked goods and other sorts of clean, sustainable, plant-..

    As the Miami International Boat Show makes a splashy debut at its expansive new Virginia Key home this weekend, the site's centerpiece — the historic, iconic Miami Marine Stadium — remains just as it has been for the past 33 years: Shuttered and vandalized, the dramatic over-the-water grandstand and its soaring, folded-concrete roof serving as no more than a canvas for graffiti.The city-owned stadium’s restoration was a central rationale for the annual boat show’s plan to relocate from the Miam..

    Step in to a sweet world at Miami's Beacon Hill Chocolates
