I've gotten this every year. I still have no idea what it is.

Looks like Purple Tomato Leaf Disorder, I have gotten it every year also.

Well that's a new one. I had one tomato like that also, and thought it was P deficiency.

The devil walks around in your garden at night.
Sometimes he brushes against a plant, this is the result.

I wouldn't want to dispute Worth's familiarity with the devil, but I thought it looked like stains from fairy dust myself.

Oh great, yet another disease that South Florida is prone to. The link said it is likely an infectious cause like a virus or fungus. Just what we need

I would have said it looks more like magnesium deficiency. Try using Epsom Salts, as a soil drench and/or foliar spray, and see if things improve.
