Miami named nation's lousiest sports town: Men's Health magazine, which I personally don't read because it disrespects my dedicated beer-and-no-exercise lifestyle, ranks 100 American cities for "sports obsession" in its July/August issue and Miami ranks No. 100. Dead last, fans! How does that make you feel? Do we deserve this dubious title? Click here for the mag website. Arlington, Tex., ranks first overall on the list, which is based largely on attendance at events. Jacksonville does well (sixth), but otherwise Florida cities are royally dissed, with Tampa rated 87th, St. Pete 89th, Orlando 96th and, of course, Miami pulling up the sagging rear. I take it the magazine's research was confined to attending a midweek Marlins game during a rain delay? This is an outrage! Even if it's accurate, it's still an outrage! I feel like suing somebody.
Speaking of rankings...: ESPN's 2009 "Ultimate Standings" are out, a ranking of the 122 Big Four sports teams based on how much they give back to fans. Our teams still rank pretty low, but all four have improved over a year ago, with the Heat ranked No. 55 (up from 87), the Dolphins at No. 61 (up from 108), the Marlins at No. 77 (up from 99) and the Panthers at No. 90 (up from 98).
Most Worrisome Coach poll: OK, here's the idea. Y'all love Tony Sparano. Swoooooning! And don't much care about the Panthers' Peter DeBoer. That leaves it a three-way race among Fredi Gonzalez, Randy Shannon and Erik Spoelestra among the major local coaches in whom you have the LEAST confidence. Who is it? Take a dip in our poll.
Dolphins third-likeliest of nine state pro teams to win title next: Our friends at BetUS.com list odds on the next state pro team to win a championship: Rays 2-2, Magic 3-2, Dolphins 5-2, Jaguars 3-1, Buccaneers 11-2, Heat 6-1, Marlins 12-1, Panthers 15-1, Lightning 20-1. First manager/coach to be fired? It's Marlin Fredi Gonzalez first at 3-2 and then Heat's Erik Spoelstra 7-4. Joey Porter over/under on sacks: 12.5. Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams over/under on combined rushing yards: 1,699. Likelihood of Dwyane Wade re-signing with Heat in 2010: 1-2. First Marlin to be traded: Jorge Cantu 2-1, Jeremy Hermida 5-2, Cody Ross 9-4, Dan Uggla 3-1.
Obligatory Michael Vick mention: I have a column (click here) reacting to ex-NFL coach Dennis Green predicting Michael Vick will end up with the Dolphins. I wish, but don't hold your breath, kids. I had a poll on this recently and 59.5% of y'all said no-way and 40.5% said Miami should be interested. Still feel the same?
Alexis Arguello, R.I.P.: Man, the celebrity deaths just keep coming don't they? Sad to hear Arguello, the former terrific boxer with Miami ties, died suddenly and apparently of his own hand. Sympathy to his family and fans. (I was a part of The Herald's coverage of that 1982 Arguello-Aaron Pryor bout at the Orange Bowl early in my career. My biggest memory is being at Pryor's winning post-fight party and seeing all of his handlers and sycophants in a loosely formed Conga line chanting, "HAWK TIME! HAWK TIME! HAWK TIME!")
Bulletin: Panthers do something right!: Our mostly hapless Florida Panthers today buttoned up left wing David Booth with a six-year contract. That's great. He is young (24) and could blossom into a 40-goal scorer (had 31 last season including two hat tricks). I also find myself rooting for any NHL'er not from Eastern Europe or Canada (David's from Detroit).
About this Honduras thing...: All I can tell you is that I have a friend who is Honduran and he supports the military coup because he says the overthrown president wanted to illegally reconfigure the Constitution to position himself as a ruler for life along the lines of the megalomaniacs who have ruined Venezula and Cuba and other places in the region. So there.
Square watermelons: Japanese farmers have developed square watermelons by growing them inside the vine in square containers. I don't know that this ranks with the automobile or computer among inventions, but a pretty neat idea nonetheless. Inspired, I myself am in the early stages of planning to develop a square bowling ball.
Swimsuit malfunction: Italian Olympian swimmer Flavia Zoccari was disqualified from a race when her swimsuit was torn asunder in the rear. I don't find this particularly newsworthy; however, I do find it an opportunity to see if I can get away with posting this photo -- oopsies! -- in my family-values blog. As for being DQ'd? Heck, I think as an incentive women should automatically win when this kind of thing happens!
That'll do it for now, unless I add more stuff later.

Is there still such a thing as a run on sentence? If there is the Honduras update qualifies I think. Geesh! Miami does not deserve to be last but some more fan support for the Marlins and Panthers would certainly help.

don't think your town of Miami nor its fans deserve last place. big deal anyway.
last comment on Michael Jackson, he might have been the king of poop to some but to he was a self mutilated freak who like sleeping with lil boys.
vick coming to dolphins to run wild cat.. ?
I honestly believe you have a better chance of Bill Parcells running around Mud Shark stadium (whatever the new name is) in a speedo. If the sport writer haven't noticed Miami used a HIGH 2nd rd pick on WildCat QB extrodinaire Pat White. Cote, your a broken record.

I think you meant to say "king of pop." Then again, perhaps you did mean "poop."

Alexis Arguello's death is very suspicious....in Nicaragua we live in a Chavez/Castro/Ortega world that Obama seems to want to join with the Honduras "Impeachment" deemed Coup. Long live democracy in Central America!!! Alexis was shot in the chest multiple times and had been under pressure to move aside as Managua mayor by the Sandanista government. It should not be reported as a suicide...not even on the Cote blog.
Posted by: farrington | July 01, 2009 at 10:36 PM
The ex Honduran president that was overtrown is a socialist leftist communist. Who happens to be allies with Hugo Chavez,Daniel Ortega,Rafael Correa, and Evo Morales. He met with these other tyrants in Nicaragua a day later when he got overthrown. The Honduran government did right to overthrow him. I hope that they don't put him back now like the Venezuelans did with Chavez. Cause that would be foolish ,and a real big mistake. Especailly that the socialist communist influence is growing in Latin America. Courtesy of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez ,and their other extremist allies.

We have too many NewYork implanters and other people from other places. That what hurts the fandom here. Unless their children root for the local teams here themselves. It is going to take awhile. Especially that many of our teams are quite young. Except the Dolphins and UM.

in case you didn't catch it, jimbo..
please.. speaking of social security, wasn't it the morons in YOUR party that wanted to put the whole lot of it in the stock market? boy that sure would've worked out great. spare me. it isn't bush. it's the republicans mostly, with some help from the democrats. if you truly wanted a "free society", you wouldn't continually vote for parties that CONSTANTLY put the needs of corporations over those of the people. end of story. but then again, what do you care? you aren't "hurting financially".. lol

oh, and one more thing.. who cares what the majority of you guys are politically? thank god the founders of this country weren't conservative, or we'd still have the king or queen of england to answer to. in fact, you cannot name ONE SINGLE MOMENT in this country's history where conservatives haven't been on the wrong side. i dare you..

david in los angeles,
daring people is a sign of arrogance and you are sticking your chin out. ONE SINGLE MOMENT? rather bold my friend... and what do you think of the dolphin wideouts?
Posted by: the shadow knows | July 02, 2009 at 04:10 AM
david, your wrong about putting the whole social security into the stock market. look it up before you go on a tangent.
I have been dealing with that 401k that Bush proposed and you can get online anytime and move your funds around. Didn't you read my post that there are 2 bond funds available to choose from? bond funds aren't stock funds.
You do infer that the big evil Bush and "shooter" Dick Cheney are going to blindly take everyone's $ and purchase Haliburton or Exxon stock.
Your sounding more angry than informed david.

for years, the university was the only thing going in miami. consistently that is. now, everyone is asleep, still blaming coker, though shannon has proved he cant coach this team to be even mediocre. this is the year, if miami wants to truly go back to being relevant in college football, shannon will be gone. it hurts watching the team that set the standard in winning, lowered to a homecoming game,{sure win}, for opponents. SAVE THE PROGRAM FIRE SHANNON
Posted by: TIRED-OF-RS | July 02, 2009 at 09:06 AM
LA Dave,
The founders of this country weren't conservative you say? Not sure...but they certainly weren't liberal. Certain issues of notice 1. They hated big government...that king you mention. 2. They were big on defense...remember the revolution? 3. They didn't try to take God out of everything...in fact God is mentioned in all their writings 4. They worked hard for what they earned...no system for governemnt checks back then 5. They certainly would not have raised the banner for abortion & gay marriage...don't even try to convince yourself 6. They thought American was a great place and a great cause...don't accuse me of accusing you of being not patriotic.
Barrack Obama is taking us into an era farthest away from anything those founders you mentioned could have dreamed of.
Hold on tight boys the train hasn't even left the station yet....
Posted by: farrington | July 02, 2009 at 10:29 AM
"About this Honduras thing": So it's OK for a government to commit a crime (illegally remove a sitting president) because someone (a president, a shoeshine) "wanted" to commit a crime?
Posted by: Tony | July 02, 2009 at 01:10 PM
Political party's are the worst thing in Government. Politicians should do things on the interest of the people not on the interest of their party. But then if we say people first it is socialism right?

Well Men's Penile Health Magazine needs to cut us some slack following, Jimmy Johnson--just based on advice of making Wanny headcoach--Wanny/Spielman/Feeley/Saban/Cam debacles. Plus lets not forget 17years of Marino with no running game and no defense. That's enough to try even most ardent fans passion for sports. I hope writers and editors of this rag get a painfully debilitating 48hr erection that can only be treated with liquid heat.

The Rays are in the toughest division in baseball. They are currently in 4th in that div. They go up agisnt the best team management (Red Sox) and the most money (Yankees) very, very tough for those youngsters to make it out on top on a regular basis.
The Magic squeeked by a Garnett-less Celtics. Every good team in the East (except the Heat) has gotten significantly better so far this off-season--the Magic brought in Carter and lost Hedo, that is not getting better.
On the other had the Fins face a lot of tough opponents this year and face questions at WR, CB, DL....however on paper and in shorts they are much better than last year. I'd say they are Florida's most likely champion.
Posted by: Stav | July 02, 2009 at 05:13 PM
Cote- please put the Vick story to bed. Nobody cares about him. To call him a super star, pleaseeeeeee!!!! He sucks as a QB.he is a good RB., end of story.
Posted by: naplesjackpatsfan | July 02, 2009 at 05:27 PM
Men's Health magazine is a gay men's mag and not true sports commentary. To add to this political discussion, This country is being run by corporations. Even now, with the guy Fox news would have you believe is a communist/socialist/Muslim is being controlled by corporate America. Thousands of American soldiers killed for oil and corporate greed. Fix the lobbying and the propaganda machines that get protection as news networks (not just Fox) or we will not be the strongest nation by the end of this century...you read it here first.

I've been saying all along that MIAMI SUCKS when it comes to sports fans...so, this is nothing new.
See the attendance at UM games, Marlin and Panther and Heat and Dolphin games...please, South Florida is full of a bunch of thug-wannabes who could care less about their sports teams.
UM baseball is the ONLY SPORT that draws great crowds year in and year out...
South Florida: You don't deserve the great teams that you've been BLESSED TO HAVE OVER THE YEARS (the Dolphins in their glory...UM and it's FIVE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS/4 CWS National Championships...The Marlins and their TWO WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIPS...The Heat and their one NBA TITLE)...
Most other cities would KILL FOR WHAT WE HAVE HERE, but Miami fans SUCK THE BIG ONE, plain and simple.
Example: I'm trying to get a "road trip" together for UM's away game vs UCF in Orlando on Oct. 17th...so far, THREE PEOPLE CONTACTED ME...too funny!!
Again, to all lazy, bandwagon SOUTH FLORIDA "fans" (and, I use the word "fans" with disgust)....YOU MAKE ME SICK!!
GO CANES, FISH, FINS, HEAT, FLORIDA PANTHERS!

they WERE big on defense, like the democrats that defeated the nazis in WWII, and clinton defense that was fully prepared to fight 2 wars at once. god IS mentioned, and so is the idea that this country is NOT a christian nation. no one, least of all me, thinks this country isn't great. when it doesn't live up to it's ideals, then people like me have something to say. call me unpatriotic? sure. as far as gay rights and abortion, i would stick to THESE times; the founders thought black people were sub-human, and women were second class citizens.

also Duke, david doesn't like sports, he accidentally logged on Cote's blog thinking it was the "other" blog... the homo cock sucker south florida butt pirates. You won't get ahold of him he called in sick from 7-ll to stand in the crowd at Neverland.. maybe get glimpse of Tito or Uncle Rico.. Kinda ironic, MJ... dead... neverland.. Alfred Hitchock spooky. david, JL (which is short for Johnny Lube) can try to argue politics but they sound like.... ginrai after a cup of starbucks espresso...

Joke of the day
The first surgeon says: 'I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.'
The second responds: 'Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded.'
The third surgeon says: 'No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.'
The fourth surgeon chimes in: 'You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.'
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: 'You're all wrong. Democrats are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine. Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable.

When Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in

about using one of the pills.
The son said, "I don't think you should take one Dad;
they're very strong and very expensive."
"How much?" asked Grandpa.
"$10.00 a pill," Answered the son.
"I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd still like to try one ,
and before we leave in the morning,
I'll put the money under the pillow."
Later the next morning,
the son found $110 under the pillow.
He called Grandpa and said,
"I told you each pill was $10, not $110.
"I know," said Grandpa,
"The hundred is from Grandma!"

Sex On Mars
The year is 2222 and Mike and Maureen land on Mars after accumulating enough Frequent Flier miles.
They meet a Martian couple and are talking about all sorts of things. Mike asks if Mars has a stock market, if they have laptop computers, how they make money, etc.
Finally, Maureen brings up the subject of sex.
'Just how do you guys do it?' asks Maureen.
The Martian responds, 'Pretty much the way you do.'
A discussion ensues and finally the couples decide to swap partners for the night and experience one another. Maureen and the male Martian go off to a bedroom where the Martian strips. He's got only a teeny, weenie member about half an inch long and just a quarter-inch thick.
'I don't think this is going to work,' says Maureen.
'Why?' he asks. 'What's the matter?'
'Well,' she replies, 'it's just not long enough to reach me!'
'No problem,' he says, and proceeds to slap his forehead with his palm. With each slap of his forehead, his member grows until it's quite impressively long.
'Well,' she says, 'that's quite impressive, but it is still narrow.'
'No problem,' he says, and starts pulling his ears. With each pull, his member grows wider and wider until the entire measurement is extremely exciting to the woman.
'Wow!' she exclaims, as they fall into bed and make mad passionate love.
The next day the couples rejoin their other partners and go their separate ways. As they walk along, Mike asks, 'Well, was it any good?'
'I hate to say it,' says Maureen, 'but it was wonderful. How about you?'
'It was horrible,' he replies. 'All I got was a headache. She kept slapping my forehead and pulling my ears.'

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in -law a Cemetery plot
as a
Christmas gift. The next year, he didn't buy her a gift. When she asked
him
why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you
last
year!"
- And that's how the fight started.
------------------------------------------
My wife walked into the den & asked "What's on the TV?"
I replied "Dust"
- And that's how the fight started.
-------------------------------------------
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not
happy
with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look
old,
fat and ugly.. I really need you to pay me a compliment.. 'The husband
replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
- And that's how the fight started.
-------------------------------------------
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She
said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3
seconds. I
bought her a scale..
- And that's how the fight started.
-------------------------------------------
I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary ?'
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
'Somewhere I
haven't been in a long time!' she said.
So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'
- And that's how the fight started.
-------------------------------------------
My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were
in
bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?'
'No,' she answered.
I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying 'Yes.'
So I said, 'Then I'd like to phone a friend.'
- And that's how the fight started.

wow jimbo.. when presented with facts, you do what most dumb ass republicans do: resort to name calling and lies. typical. that's why you don't run the country any more, and it's why you never will again.
nice michael jackson comments too.. all he did was shift the paradigm of R&B, sell more records than the beatles, and become the biggest crossover artist in history. but what would YOU know about art? and don't get it twisted, i will argue politics with your simple, ignorant, fear-mongering, sore loser ass whenever you want. the INARGUABLE fact is, the divide between those that HAVE and those that DON'T has increased due to big business, supported by both parties, having it's way with government. the true test of any civilized society is how well it cares for the least among them, and under THAT criteria, WE FAIL. and you have nothing to say about it.. lol
R. duke? i bleed aqua and orange. grew up in the orange bowl. after 10 years of living in a civilized city, (that means different cultures and races, jimbo), i still make it back to miami many times a year, especially in the fall and winter. i love my dolphins, ( canes, marlins and heat too). i think we'll be lucky to win 9 games again, but i look for more improvement, especially the pass rush and receiving corps..

The post itself was so well written and visual and funny on its own merit but add the authoritative "Insider Information" presence of Rod Serling to it and I was laughing myself senseless. Almost made me laugh as hard as Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Get Serling's voice tone and cadence fimly established in your minds eye and go back and read your post. It is absurdly funny. LOL.
