Wrong team: Paper runs ad touting Miami Heat win
Jun 13, 2:44 pm EDT
MIAMI (AP)—The Dallas Mavericks’ win over the Heat is a huge upset for fans in Miami. Making matters worse, an ad in the local paper has mistakenly congratulated the Heat on winning.
A full-page ad that ran in Monday’s Miami Herald reads “Congratulations Miami” next to photos of Heat championship T-shirts and hats from Macy’s. One T-shirt reads “Heat 2011 NBA Finals Champions” and the ad shows the Heat’s logo on a hat with the words “NBA Champions.”
The ad ran under a story about the Heat’s loss.
The newspaper has issued a correction and apologized for any inconvenience. A Macy’s spokeswoman called it an unfortunate error and apologized to Heat fans.
The Mavericks beat the Heat 105-95 in game six of the NBA finals on Sunday in Miami.
Flocka;1940122; said:Miami is such a disgrace as a sports town. After the win the Mavs went to LIV where they played "We are the champions". Erick Dampier was also there partying with the Mavs.

Internet porn business submits $10M naming rights bid for Miami Heat home
The internet porn business is boomin’.
The once-taboo industry’s continued creep into the mainstream is seeking to broach another barrier. This time, its sights are set on big-time American sports.
BangBros is seeking to stake its claim.
Porn biz offers $10M for Heat arena’s naming rights
The Miami-based porn production company was quick to announce after the American Airlines news that it wants in on the naming rights and had submitted a $10 million bid to lay claim to the home of the Heat.

No chance this happens
Of course in all actuality, it does add up to a publicity stunt.
The NBA may be the most progressive league in major American sports, but the Heat surely aren’t going to promote family ticket packages to invite parents and children out to a wholesome evening at “The BBC.”
Nor would the league subject broadcast partners to open their coverage “live from the BangBros Center.”
While the idea of the weed-embracing city having its “Mile High” football stadium named for a marijuana company is good for a laugh, it’s not good for the NFL — at least in the minds of league executives.
So bravo to BangBros for generating some headlines. Just don’t expect to see this as a successful bid, as eager as the company surely is to spend that $10 million.
