Yesterday, LeBron James said he could one day see himself playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers again. Predictably, that didn’t go over too well with his current fans here in Miami, so James is on damage control today and promises he loves us and won’t leave us. Yet, anyway…
Oh, sure, the Miami Marlins have got a loaded new roster, an expensive new home, and new logos and uniforms of divisive aesthetic quality. Hell they’ve even got a new name. None of that matters now. It’s boring in comparison. Yawn. Do you hear us yawning?Clearly the most exciting MLB…
Well, this certainly doesn’t disprove that weird rumor that popped up last month that LeBron James wasn’t always on the same page with Heat Prez Pat Riley and was planning an eventual return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. James has now said he could see himself one day playing in Cleveland…
Remember when the Miami Heat sucked? Good golly, did they suck. This was a team so horrible they didn’t get a single win until the 18th game of their inaugural 1988-89 season. In fact, the team’s all-time record had never been above .500. Yep, when taking into consideration every single…
The University of Miami football team has long tried to harness the ancient ways of “Swag” to lead them to success, but now the school’s men’s basketball team is trying to master the antithetical powers of Zen. Yes, first year coach Jim Larranaga has decided to go all Deepak Chopra, and is motivating his…
For a time there, it seemed as if the Miami Heat would never find a way to beat the Milwaukee Bucks as long as we all lived. But last night, the Heat finally won against that pain in the ass team, taking them out with extreme prejudice 114-96, and avoiding…
Despite the fact that some NFL brass have indicated there would have to be major upgrades to Sun Life Stadium if Miami-Dade ever wants to host another Super Bowl, the Dolphins are planing to spearhead a Miami bid for the next available championship game anyway. Super Bowl L, the 50th…
The Marlins reportedly offered Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes a six-year deal somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 million-plus last week, and appeared to be in the lead of the race to sign the outfielder. ESPN’s Buster Olney however just tweeted that Cespedes has agreed to a four-year deal worth $36…
Apparently all that time behind bars is getting to convicted Ponzi schemer and allegation-throwing former booster Nevin Shapiro, because the Miami Herald got a hold of several bonkers emails the would-be-destroyer of Hurricanes football is typing up in prison. They do little to detract from Shapiro’s portrayal as a bitter,…
Don’t be talking about LeBron James’ mama unless you want to find yourself on the end of a physical threat from the 6’8″ superstar. According to an NBC Sports journalist’s Twitter, James apparently got into a bit of verbal smack down with a fan heckling him at Friday’s game against…
The Miami Heat’s “Big Three” just got even bigger. A Miami Beach entrepreneur has taken it upon himself to build 18-foot foam sculptures out of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh — complete with tattoos and “I’m-about-to-dunk-in-your-face” expressions. A monstrous LeBron is already complete.”We did this as Heat fans,…
Over the weekend, Dhafir Harris, aka Dada 5000 — the Perrine-based Kimbo Slice protege trying to bring backyard fighting into the mainstream — invited Riptide to watch a grudge match between a pair of dudes who don’t like each other one bit. Instead of a backyard, this bout went down…

So apparently Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, along with a growing number of Dolphins fans, are “infatuated” with the idea of bringing Peyton Manning to Miami next season. Which is ridiculous when you consider that Manning hasn’t even cut ties with the Colts yet, and there’s no guarantee he’ll fully recover…
This is like the baseball fan’s version of that time Beyonce went to Cheeseburger Baby. I was in the courthouse district an hour or so ago when I saw the strangest thing: Baseball superstars David Ortiz and Jose Batista strolling down Northeast 1st Avenue, in full baseball uniform. It was…
Good news for LeBron James! He’s now only the sixth most hated professional athlete in America! That’s down from second place on Forbes.com’s list last year. Hell, as we’ve previously noted, he’s no longer the most hated player in the NBA. That title now belongs to that guy who had…
Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes arrived at Miami International Airport this morning ahead of a meeting with top Marlins brass.

Ricky Williams, the enigmatic running back who spent the majority of his 11-year NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, is officially retiring from football. No, really, for real this time. After ditching the Dolphins last year, Williams signed a two-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens but has decided to forgo…
A recent GQ profile of once-high-flying NFL star Terrell Owens — who’s now close to broke despite earning more than $80 million — has shined a national spotlight this month on his South Florida agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and financial advisor, Jeff Rubin. T.O. has lambasted Rosenhaus’s management and sued over…
Riptide has a now established tradition of mathematically (in the loosest sense of the word) deciding which team Miamians should root for the in the Super Bowl. This year the answer seems obvious: F*ck the Pats! But should we really f*ck the Pats? Lets run both the New England Patriots…
