Whats We Missed: Tuesday June 25th

Dave Wyman doesn’t smile, doesn’t laugh, doesn’t betray any emotion whatsoever as he says, “You haven’t lived until you shit your pants.”

Right at that moment, the waitress walks over and sets down sliders and fries, plus a pile of chicken wings. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more appetizing than hearing a grown man talk about shitting his pants while snacking on saucy, messy chicken wings.

“Smells good,” Wyman says, meaning the wings, not the other thing.

Wyman played nine years in the NFL, first as a linebacker for the Seahawks, then with the Broncos. When the Seahawks drafted him out of Stanford in 1987, two things happened. One, he would get so nervous before games that he would throw up and get what he calls “bubble gut.” And two, he started to hear horror stories about players who had succumbed to intestinal distress.

“That was a big fear,” Wyman says. “You don’t want to be that guy.”

The famed sands of Miami Beach that have lured models, tourists and celebrities for decades are now drawing a frequent visitor that nobody wants: seaweed, foul-smelling mountains of seaweed. Some days in the last few weeks, there has been so much drifting ashore that it blocks swimmers from entering the water in some stretches

The foul-smelling brown stuff that piled upon South Florida’s shores in the past few years is again washing up along the coast and some beach goers are fed up. Miami Beach residents are pressuring Miami-Dade county to come up with a plan to remove the slimy nuisance, formally known as sargassum.

“We have been suffering the consequences of this sargassum for more than three years; our properties are being devalued, our quality of life is being impacted and tourism in Miami Beach will suffer if this continues,” resident Arsenio Milian said to city and county officials at a Miami Beach Community Affairs Committee meeting earlier this week.
