The NYPD cop shot in Miami on Saturday "suffered medical complications Tuesday," the Daily News reports. Harold Thomas, 48, had "blood clots developing in his lungs," so doctors are going to be inserting a mesh screen to block the clots. This comes as Miami police have reportedly identified—not arrested—a suspect. more ›

Yesterday morning, a vacation NYC police officer was shot in the courtyard of a boutique hotel in Miami Beach. Police believe the NYPD cop and the gunman (or gunmen) traded at least a dozen shots. A neighbor said, "I was sleeping and then all of a sudden I just heared like six or seven rounds in a row... I thought it was firecrackers, because they just went 'pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop.' And then it stopped, and then you heard 'pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop.'...And then you didn't hear anything." more ›

Thinking of going to spend a relaxing weekend of fun in the sun down in Miami? Just be wary if some sexy Latvian ladies seem to show a little too much interest you. Just ask former WCBS weatherman John Bolaris (now employed at WTXF in Philadelphia) who on a trip to Miami last year was slipped roofies by a pair of beauties twice and had $43,000 in booze and caviar charged to his AmEx. more ›

The cast of Jersey Shore—some of the most fascinating people of 2010 (we did it America!)—are in talks with MTV about another season of the reality show. According to the NY Post, "the cast are all about to start talks for a new season. Producers want to film in Miami again next spring, and they want to lock the cast down now." more ›

Gulf oil spill day 75: It's going farther than we thought. The latest NOAA findings show that the Florida Keys, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale have a 61%-80% chance of oil impact, thanks to the looming threat from the Loop Current. However, they insist that doesn't mean the oil will necessarily wash ashore. They say their findings mean "that oil or streamers or tar balls are likely to be in the general vicinity (within 20 miles of the coast)." Good news? more ›

The latest revelation in Rex Ryan's Finger-Gate: Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer says the Jets coach was repeatedly harassed and even spit on by "a guy who was going out of his way to incite a fight." The man allegedly told Ryan, "Hey. I eff-in hate you. I hate you. I hate you. You're an eff-in piece of eff...I hate you. I hope you die, you fat piece of crap,' and then spit at him." Ryan and his group ran into the man two more times, and third time being a charm, Ryan flipped off the man. Glazer declared that Ryan's $50,000 fine for the incident "is the most ridiculous thing. If (Jets GM) Mike Tannenbaum or (Jets owner) Woody Johnson was there, they would have hit the guy." more ›

Unfortunately for Jets coach Rex Ryan, what happens in Miami doesn't stay in Miami, thanks to technology. When apparently provoked at a mixed martial arts event (yes, a mixed martial arts event), Ryan flipped the bird and someone—naturally—caught the gesture on his cellphone. Now the NFL is looking into whether it will fine Ryan. more ›

With Sad Rat and Sad Panda making us all so sad, it's nice to have Happy Manatee around. Ilya was rescued from the cold clutches of New Jersey earlier this week, and flown down to the more manatee-friendly state of Florida yesterday. The NY Post reports that he is expected to make a full recovery, and a rep at the US Fish and Wildlife Service confirms: "He is safely home in Florida, and currently in a nice pool at the Miami Seaquarium." more ›

A day after one of our commenters accused drunken, rowdy US Open golf fans as being meatheads needing to go somewhere with the Yankees out of town, in comes a video of just what some of the Yankee fans who make it out to the weekend's games in Florida were up to. more ›

As expected, the hometown crowd at Fenway Park was ready to harass Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, whose private life has been very public lately. Last year, after A-Rod's public appearance with a blond stripper made news, Boston fans wore blond lady masks. more ›

The breakup of Alex Rodriguez and Cynthia Rodrigeuz's marriage took another nasty turn after she filed for divorce yesterday. The Yankee third baseman's friends told the Daily News that C-Rod spent $100,000 during her trip to Paris. This comes as one of Cynthia Rodriguez's divorce lawyers called A-Rod's much-rumored affair with Madonna "an affair of the heart." more ›

Cynthia Rodriguez filed for divorce from Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez today in Miami. According to the papers, she claims A-Rod "emotionally abandoned" her and that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" due to his "extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct." She is looking for primary custody of their two daughters, child support to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children," and their $12 million home in Coral Gables, Florida, plus paying attorney's fees. Notably, she is also seeking "equitable distribution" of assets acquired during their marriage--how much of A-Rod's $275 million Yankees contract that includes will be up to the lawyers. more ›

On Friday, a woman traveling from Haiti to New York City died on the American Airlines flight. Her cousin say the crew initially refused to give her oxygen and that when they did, the oxygen tanks were empty and the defibrillator wasn't working. more ›

After early results put John McCain and Mitt Romney in a "too close to call" race, McCain won the Florida primary. Rudy Giuliani, who once led national polls, looks like he'll finish in third place (though Mike Huckabee is a close fourth as of 10PM), which is actually his best finish after the primaries and caucuses in New Hampshire, Iowa, Wyoming, Michigan, Nevada and South Carolina. more ›

May 29, 2007 was the last time Stepha Henry, a John Jay honors graduate, was seen. The Brooklyn resident had been visiting an aunt in Miami when she went missing and as months went on, her mother quit her job and moved to Florida to search for Stepha while John Jay classmates and faculty held fund-raisers to help the family. Today, Miami-Dade detectives, along with members of the NYPD, arrested a man in New York for killing Henry. more ›

Maybe the Jets shouldn't have been underdogs against the Dolphins, but no one figured they'd roll as easily as they did in their 40-13 win in Miami on Sunday. Miami remained winless at 0-12 as the Jets improved to 3-9 -- with two of those wins coming against Miami. Playing without Jerricho Cotchery and his finger injury, the Jets did have Laveranues Coles back earlier than expected from a high ankle sprain. He responded... more ›

Neither the Jets nor the Dolphins have enjoyed their seasons too much. One half of the Jets' wins came on Sept. 23 when they edged the Dolphins 31-28 at home. Now they travel to Miami. They're 0-5 on the road, but Miami has lost 14 straight. Ironically, the Jets stand to gain the most if they lose and somehow pass the Dolphins in the NFL draft pecking order. But shhh! No one's thinking about that.... more ›

After seeing the Jets take Pittsburgh by surprise Sunday, the Cowboys weren't going to be ambushed. They dominated the Jets in every way in a 34-3 Thanksgiving Day whupping. Anyone who sat down to dinner after the Jets' first two series didn't miss much. Tony Romo led Dallas on a quick-strike scoring drive to start the game, and then Leon Washington fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Kellen Clemens couldn't get comfortable in the pocket when... more ›

Devils 6, Flyers 2: After three failed bids to get Martin Brodeur his 500th career win, the Devils finally provided him some margin of error. They played stingy defense and lit the lamp six times en route to an easy milestone win. Brodeur joins Patrick Roy as the only netminders with 500 wins. Dainius Zubrus got the party started and added an assist. As happy as the Devils are for Brodeur, they're probably happiest that... more ›

More trouble for the Knicks: Captain Stephon Marbury was missing from the morning shootaround in Phoenix, where the Knicks are set to play the Suns tonight. Marbury's apparent absence comes after coach Isiah Thomas may have told him he wouldn't be starting tonight and a Daily News article suggesting that the Knicks were thinking about a Starbury-less team in the future. Coming off a bad loss in Miami where Marbury threw the ball away in... more ›

Miami 75 Knicks 72: April 13th was the last time the Miami Heat won a game. From that date they lost their final two regular season games, got swept out of the playoffs, lost every exhibition game they played this preseason and opened the 2007-08 campaign 0-5. All it took to wipe out nearly seven months of losing was a game with the Knicks. Sure, New York didn’t have Zach Randolph, but they didn’t need... more ›

The Giants escaped London with an ugly 13-10 win on an ugly day on an ugly field. The Wembley Stadium turf was not made to handle our brand of football in the rain and it rapidly turned into mud, leaving the players struggling for footing and resulting in sloppy play on both sides of the ball. more ›

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist is really sick of that taco promo. And, while they're proud of John Williams, Bostonist is still trying to figure out Williams' "Very Special Arrangement" of the "Star Spangled Banner." more ›

If they want to, the Jets can trace the morphing of their season from disappointing to disastrous from their Week 4 loss in Buffalo on Sept. 30. Before that, their only defeats came against the Patriots and the Ravens. Those are nothing to be ashamed of. But now the team hasn't won since a Week 3 squeaker against the Dolphins, and, let's face it, everybody's beating Miami these days. The Jets will try it all over again at home this Sunday, but the change everyone wanted made hasn't happened. Chad Pennington is still the quarterback. more ›
