Entering Tuesday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, LeBron James made it clear that all this losing stuff isn’t cute to him anymore, and he politely requests that his teammates help cut that shit out. “We’ve been playing defensively like sh–, no doubt about it. I’m frustrated right now. We’re…
Well, we’ve found it. The worst professionally written piece about the Dolphins’ Richie Incognito mess has been identified. Congratulations to the OC Register’s “libertarian humorist” Ron Hart for penning a column that is all at once racist, sexist, completely stupid, and manages to both wonder if Jonathan Martin is gay…
HO.LY.SHIT.WE.ARE.BAAAAAD. The Dolphins were poised to have some awesome ‘The Natural’ moment after 11 days of bullying accusations, litigation, he-said-she-said and lots of ‘splaining by Philbin, Tannehill, Incognito, Ross (no Ireland, though!). Instead, the team did that typical Dolphins thing where they had a lead late in the game and…
According to several reports, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is all but ready to hand both general manager Jeff Ireland and head coach Joe Philbin pink slips by the end of the season in the wake of the Richie Incognito controversy. The only hope the two have of keeping their…
It seems like ages ago but before the Incognito-Martin story went all Chernobyl, the Dolphins beat a good Bengals team on a Thursday night game that featured only the 3rd overtime walk-off safety in NFL history. The win came in dramatic fashion, considering the Dolphins were up by 17 points…
Another day, another serving of evidence that Richie Incognito is a giant douche potato. Back in 2012 during a Dolphins-sponsored charity golf event, a female volunteer claims that Incognito touched her private parts with a golf club, rubbed his groin against her buttocks and poured water on her face. The…
In 2011, Kevin Dineen’s first season as the Florida Panthers’ head coach, it seemed the team was ready to shake off a decade of sucking. Indeed, the Cats won their first division championship. But Dineen’s next season saw the team finish second to last in the league, and now the…
Dwyane Wade scored 29 and LeBron James had 18 Thursday night in a 102-97 Miami Heat win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The game marked the biggest test the Heat has faced this season, with many observers predicting these two teams will meet in the finals come June. Miami passed…
We’ve already made the case that in light of the Dolphins scandal involving Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito, general manager Jeff Ireland should resign or be fired, but new reports of his ridiculous immediate response upon learning of the problem only add to that argument. When Martin’s agent called Ireland…
Apparently it’s more controversial in America to call a white man a racist than it is to call a black man a “n*gger.” When it came to light that Richie Incognito had bullied Jonathan Martin until he walked out of the Dolphins facilities to seek help, the word from inside…
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted this week that he smoked crack cocaine, while mayor, in a “drunken stupor.” LeBron James was in Toronto last night for the Heat vs. Raptors game. Understandably, the only thing Torontonians, including sports reporters, can talk about is that their mayor smoked crack. James had…
It’s beginning to look like Richie Incognito’s use of racial slurs was habitual. Warren Sapp, the former Miami Hurricanes great, faced Incognito only once in his NFL career but says that during that game, Incognito called him the N-word while on the field. Sapp, however, didn’t seem particularly offended by…
Minus new Papa Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 104-95 in Toronto Wednesday night. LeBron James led the Heat with a season high 35 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, while Dwyane Wade looked the best he has all season, notching 20 points, six rebounds, and five…
Only four players have done it in NBA history, and tonight LeBron James will likely become the fifth. Yes, LeBron could join the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (who did it twice), Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and Moses Malone as a player who has played 500 straight games in which they…
Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland’s sports legacy will always be that of the guy who asked a prospective player if his mom was a whore, and there’s no evidence to suggest it will ever be anything more than that. The current Dolphins mess centering on race-baiting potato Richie Incognito, just…
Dan Sileo is a former Miami Hurricanes linebacker and now he’s a former WMEN 640 AM radio host. After the FSU game Sileo tweeted out that he’d pay $1,000 to any Miami Hurricanes player who took out Devonta Freeman with an injury during the possible rematch between the two teams…
As this saga unfolds, Richie Incognito’s douche-level has quickly escalated from “teen ’80s movie villain jock” to “unhinged bigoted rage-o-holic.” CBS Sports has obtained text messages the now suspended Incognito sent to Jonathan Martin in which he calls him a “half-n*gger,” threatens to defecate in his mouth, and threatens to…
For years we have thought the Miami Hurricanes were South Florida’s bad boys. Turns out we were wrong. Those seemingly straight-arrow Dolphins are really a big-money fraternity gone wrong. The team suspended guard Richie Incognito Sunday for detrimental behavior. He is part of the Dolphins’ six-player “leadership council” and was…
The Heat went old school on all our asses Sunday night, throwing it all the way back with a 103-93 win over the Washington Wizards. The win was a reminder of the good old victorious days, back in June 2013 when Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” was the number one hit…
Riptide has spent approximately 55 percent of our time this past week reading everything every idiot on the internet has to say about the Miami-FSU game. Did you know Miami’s pass defense is supposed to be the toughest FSU has seen all season? Were you aware that Jameis Winston leads…
Jonathan Martin had enough of his teammate’s bullying. The Dolphins tackle abruptly left the training facility earlier this week and checked himself into a hospital for mental issues. Now Fox Sports reports that Martin was a victim of systematic bullying. His teammates had nicknamed him “Big Weirdo” and insulted his…
The Miami-FSU game doesn’t come with a cutesy nickname. It’s not played on a set weekend or at a neutral location. The campuses, despite sharing a state, are hardly geographically close. Both teams have a rival they hate more (in fact, the same rival). Players seem to have a mutual…
