    Live from Havana, it's Miami's cutthroat local TV news
    It’s the iconic TV live shot from Havana: A linen-clad reporter, squinting from the sun, standing on a rooftop in front of the crystalline waters of the Caribbean.

Yet Miami’s local stations have become expert at it.This has turned into the new measuring ground for South Florida’s fierce TV news competition: Cuba, the foreign country Miami considers a suburb of its own.All four of Miami’s English-language network affiliates — WP..

  • New Miami Hurricanes defense values speed over size

    New Miami Hurricanes defense values speed over size
    It seemed Al Golden and Mark D’Onofrio‘s defensive philosophy was the more bulk, the better. The former UM coach and defensive coordinator equated size with strength. In interviews they often would praise players, especially linemen, for weight gain when asked about their progress. The numbers always seemed to be going up. One notable example was defensive end Anthony Chickillo, who was praised for adding 40 pounds during the course of his college career. Their 3-4 scheme called for defensive ..

  • Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill finally has coach who 'has my back'

    Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill finally has coach who 'has my back'
    Ryan Tannehill was the picture of health Monday afternoon. The NFL’s most-sacked quarterback the past four years spent weeks after the 2015 season recovering and rehabilitating from his latest round of beatings. He’s no longer urinating blood as he was after one particularly savage game. The bruises he wore throughout the season have mostly faded.But when the Miami Dolphins quarterback says he’s “happy” and “excited,” it’s not just because defenses have stopped the abuse. It’s not because the p..

  • Obama in Cuba brings the pain of loss to a Miami exile family

    Obama in Cuba brings the pain of loss to a Miami exile family
    Another loss. That's what this already feels like to so much of Miami, before the “historic” baseball game has even been played. As if the Cubans who fled to this country haven't already felt enough of those losses over the decades. Lost childhoods. Lost roots. Lost families. Lost land. Lost freedoms. Lost lives in the ocean that divides Cuba and America like the million miles of distance between desperation and hope.    So much happy coverage on the television this week. Historic visit! Ameri..

  • Miami plays Villanova with chance at 1st Elite Eight berth

    Miami plays Villanova with chance at 1st Elite Eight berth
    The Miami Hurricanes leave locker room language in the locker room, because coach Jim Larranaga prohibits cursing on the court.What the heck?"One of our messages is that success is based on self-discipline," Larranaga said. "If you're swearing all the time, you'll swear in the game and get yourself a technical foul or get yourself out of sync or out of control."Dang, that make sense, and lately the Hurricanes haven't had much to curse about, anyway. Two wins last week advanced them to the Sweet..
