    Miami, did you hear her? Barbra Streisand sounded better than ...
    Barbra Streisand gushed more than once that Monday’s concert at downtown Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena, the closing date of her 13-concert “The Music...The Mem’ries...The Magic! Tour,” was to be her last concert. She never grandstanded the statement or milked it for melancholy. She said it with what sounded like gratitude — a theme she would return to often during the two-plus-hour, 26-song set. This was the longest show of the tour, which was fitting since this Miami date was being filmed for..

    University of Miami fans who believe the Hurricanes got no respect in the final regular-season major polls and College Football Playoff rankings, can get some off-season relief if the Canes can notch their seventh consecutive victory over former Big-East rival West Virginia on Dec. 28 in the Russell Athletic Bowl.The Canes got plenty of respect when they rose to No. 10 after starting the season 4-0, but they didn’t make the CFP rankings and are not among the Top 25 in the Associated Press and A..

    Ailing Heat 'will have enough healthy bodies' for Knicks Spoelstra ...
    Erik Spoelstra doesn’t see the rash of injuries the Heat has been dealing with through the first six weeks of the season as anything extraordinary. At least that’s the face he’s putting on publicly and the message he’s trying to sell his short-handed team on every night.“That's the NBA,” the Heat’s coach said moments after rattling off updates on the five players who are listed on the team’s injury report as either out or questionable for Tuesday night’s game against the New York Knicks (11-9) ..

    Does Pitbull Owe Us a Castro Comment?
    Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 9:35 a.m. Mr. 305 will be in the 954 this Friday. Though he's recently had albums titled Global Warming, Globalization, and the upcoming Climate Change, lately Pitbull has not been the most political of rappers.

    It struck us the other night watching Dwyane Wade and LeBron James renew their basketball bromance in their first game as opponents since both left Miami. It hurt a little bit to see. It left us wistful to realize how much we as a community have lost.To consider what the Heat used to be: the pulsing epicenter of the NBA. And what the Heat has become: just another team scrounging for relevance.The impact of Wade departing this past summer has been larger than expected. On the team itself. On fan..
