Alain Poupart

Alain Poupart has covered the Miami Dolphins on a full-time basis since 1989 for various publications and media outlets, including Dolphin Digest, The Associated Press, the Dolphins team website, and the Fan Nation Network (part of Sports Illustrated).

In addition to being a credentialed member of the Miami Dolphins press corps, Alain has covered three Super Bowls (for NFL.com, Football News and the Montreal Gazette), the annual NFL draft, the Senior Bowl, and the NFL Scouting Combine.

Alain also is an independent correspondent for NHL.com, covering the Florida Panthers and games at FLA Live Arena.

During his almost 40 years in journalism, which began at the now-defunct Miami News, Alain has covered practically every sport at one time or another, from tennis to golf, baseball, basketball and everything in between. The career also included time as a copy editor, including work on several books such as "Still Perfect," an inside look at the Miami Dolphins' 1972 perfect season.

A native of Montreal, Canada, whose first language is French, Alain grew up a huge hockey fan but soon developed a love for all sports, including NFL football. He has lived in South Florida since the 1980s.

Alain can be heard twice a week on the Big O YouTube radio show, where he and host Orlando Alzugaray Jr. talk mostly Dolphins but also other sports and pop culture, where he'll sing the virtues of progressive rock or his favorite bands like R.E.M., Concrete Blonde or Keane.
