How Bad Does the Sports Culture in Miami Blow?

16
Vote

by LastRow

Life in South Florida…Many call it living in paradise! I don’t know what living in "paradise" actually entails, but I do know that it sure beats living in Butte, Montana…Bismarck, North Dakota…Cheyenne, Wyoming, or any other hole in the wall town…Trust me! Trust me because I lived there for 10 years! However, I’m not sure "paradise" encompasses "jibberish" being spoken all over the place…As if one was living in another country. Traffic up the ying-yang! Not knowing how many "shims" are going to try and hit on you through the evening…(My own personal advice, keep the duct tape handy at all times!) Botox, fake baked plastic bitches, (although gorgeous) from head to toe prancing around, giving guys open invitations to get a little taste. In all honesty, that gay ass Will Smith tune "Welcome to Miami" that we all used to crank up and bob are heads to…And don’t kid yourself, you know you did! Well, Big Willie Style painted the picture of Miami as clear as those "glass bottom boats". Now lets be real here…We all used bump that tune, just we thought "New Kids on the Block" were once rad along with Millie Villiani being legit as well!

Yes, life is good living in South Florida…Just too bad! Yeah, just too bad the sports scene gets in the way down there! Well, that’s highly debatable, since nobody ever shows up to sporting events regardless of teams being good or bad! Although how God awful is the current South Florida sports scene! Why, it closely resembles the "True Life of Britany Spears"! Perhaps there’s hope for her yet?

Is there a collection of God awful teams that one city/region claims as their own? Let’s see, they’re the Marlins…Who claim they have no money, who draw less than the local YMCA’s daily, who every time they get at least half way decent decide to have a "Kmart Blue Light Take Our Top Players Off Our Hands Because we Don’t Feel Like Paying Them the Big Bucks Special." Perhaps their fellow fish who share the same aqua tank with them should invest for some swimming lessons for Christmas, (or whichever holiday is celebrated) too! The only undefeated team in the NFL are all but a certain look to reverse that 1972 goose egg from the loss column and move it over to the win column! 0-16…How awesome is that! The Tampa Bay Yucs Sucs can’t wait to move over to finally have some company!

Wait, I’m not done yet…We still have the Miami Heat! Why, if it wasn’t for Seattle they’d be the worst in the league. And, oh yeah, Seattle beat them…Ouch, that hurts! A team in which David Stern "gave" them the title a couple years back couldn’t beat the team that the Sunrise Senior Living Center puts on the court coached by Dr. Jack Ramsey! Having that Neismith dude rolling over in his grave. Shaq looks as slow as one of the Fat Ass kids on his Big Challenge…Pretty soon they’ll have to "black curtain" the upper deck! Taking a page out of the Marlins book.

Now true, South Florida does have "professional hockey", but it’s hockey! The NHL doesn’t even matter…And even if it did, why put a hockey team in South Florida? Um yeah…In case nobody figured it out yet…Nothing freezes in South Florida! Cold to them is 50 degrees…A bunch of whinos and pansies! Not only that, the Panthers play about five miles from the Everglades, (sadly, I’m not making that up!)

Lastly, as if the sports scene in South FLA couldn’t get any worse…We have the Miami Hurricanes! And that’s pretty much all I’m going to say about that one! Oh that and good luck Randy Shannon!

Yes indeed sports fans, the sports scene in South Florida definitely blows goats! And to think, we thought New York had it bad with the Knicks! Turns out South Florida sports is no better than New Kids on the Block, Will Smith, Millie Villiani…And oh yes, the Latin, gay ass heart throb, Ricky Martin combined!

Vote in LastRowSports.com latest Pick’em Poll which asks the difficult question about " The Ladies of Romo?" By voting in this poll the candidates will make you hot under the collar…Give you that hot & tingly feeling inside, don’t be alarm…It’s not the same loving feeling as the BCS gives off! Now we guarantee that that out of these three nominees it’s even more difficult to choose than the OSWHO/LSWHO matchup, but we have more faith in you to do so than the BCS! After all, you on human…Aren’t you? So stuff the ballots…Do it for Carrie, Sophia, & Jessica!

Sports culture usually matches the overall culture of the city.

atlanta, imo, is the worst sports town...thrashers, hawks, falcons, braves...just terrible...

i mean...the thrashers had a few good years...falcons went to the nfc championship in 2004, the braves had those division titles and a WS win...and the hawks...ok, you got me

the culture just sucks...its very boring and from what i understand, atlanta is mostly transplants anyways...

Atlanta is alright. If you like beautiful black women, Atlanta is THE place for you. I couldn't care less about Georgia, but I love the ATL!

Philly's culture is based on what people hear and read but haven't actually been there. The Phillies have a core group of fans who are just as knowledgeable as those in New York or Boston. The Flyers and Sixers have been successful franchises in the past who are just going through a downtime, same, to an extent, as the Eagles. And the city rocks, five division one schools within city limits plus a number of smaller schools, shit, Romie, even you could get laid in Philly. And the food? Forget about it, a mixture of several different cultures, some of the best meals I've had have been in Philly, and I'm not easily impressed.

"just as" or "better than"? New York and Boston fans are trendy. Philly fans are fans because it's the essence of life there. Think about Rocky for just a moment - it COULDN'T have come from ANY other town in America (Cleveland would be the closest thing to second place) - Philly gets more inches of rain than Seattle and more brutal summers than Phoenix - Sports is ALL there is!

Philly gets a bad rap because the fans are very knowledgable AND very passionate. The rest of the world just looks at the surface (the booing) and doesn't understand the depth of people there (they want the same passion from their athletes that they give, otherwise you're getting booed!)

And you're DEAD ON KD, +++++ - May I suggest Bookbinders, just west of City Hall? - the best part of Philly (and honestly THE thing I miss the most about living there - the FOOD and Culture - it ain't just cheesesteaks, brother - Food and experiencing life's variety is LIFE in Philly - there's a TON of history there - Boston is a sham of a "historical town" in comparison - and it's right between D.C. and NYC, taking the best of both)

Wil Smith rapped about Philly LONG before he ever uttered a word about Miami.

Hell, I couldn't dream of becoming so many styles without my first 27 years getting influenced by Philly!!!

I don't think you have to look much further than the on-field brawl the University of Miami incited with Florida International to get a real good look at what the culture, not just sports, is like in Miami.

After watching the Heat beat the Suns tonight (in person) I would have to venture that MIA and PHX are VERY similar in many respects - GREAT towns to go on a vacation to, horrible if you live there and love sports. When you have sun, beautiful women and options - thing to do with your leisure time, sports suddenly become very clear to your perspective - downright a waste of time, money and utterly meaningless in the grand scheme...

Maybe I'm jaded by living all the way out on the Coast, but I only see PHX as having sun. (Not including Mr. Stiles of course Manny) I haven't seen much evidence of "women" or "options" per say out in SunDevil country.

LASB, ever heard of Girls Gone Wild? There's a REASON it was created by students at ASU. And that's just in Tempe. If you can't get some fine ass in Tempe, you can't get any anywhere.

And I've been in just about every major city in the U.S. - LA is nice, but Scottsdale is the best pound for pound Hot Babe city in America. I don't know where you were looking... there's a reason MJ, Tiger, A-Rod, Muhammad Ali and every other rich and famous athlete and actor has a house in the Valley of the Sun.

Options meaning - "things to do" - there's a 5 star resort around every corner, more art galleries per capita than any town outside of Santa Fe (and yes, that includes NYC) and a ridiculously gorgeous golf course on every other street.

Your right, ASU's scene slipped my mind. Maybe it's cause I spend half my work week in Santa Barbara and the other half in the non-burned portion of Pacific Palisades; I'll keep my jaded West Coast glasses. I'd especially never trade in Santa Barbara for Scottsdale, your outta ya freaking minds cuz!!!

I'd also rather golf on the Pacific and have drinks at the Chart House over looking Santa Monica Bay with whatever D lister with big tits I can talk into believing I cover sports for the LA Sentenial and I can talk to the entertainment editor for them. But again, everyone has their preferences.

The Heat would be the worse team in the league if it weren't for the Supersonics? Hmm that's funny....


apparently the Timberwolves are so bad that they aren't even considered the worse team "in the NBA" anymore? That's harsh LastRow... Mark Madsen just called from his starting roster spot to call you a bastard.

The Heat played out of their minds against the Suns (59% Team FG !?!?!?). Still, if they miss a mere 2 shots over the course of the game, it's an L.
