So after former Miami Dolphins CEO left the team this summer to replace some guy named Tom Garfinkle as President and CEO of the San Diego Padres, Stephen Ross and Dolphins brass started an exhaustive search to find his replacement. Oddly enough they’ve decided that the very same Tom Garfinkle,…
We’re used to former Miami Hurricanes players setting all sorts of records in the NFL, but the WNBA? Not so much. Well, Riquna Williams, only in her second year of playing professionally after being on the Hurricanes women’s basketball team, just set the record for most points in a single…
The Miami Hurricanes moved up to number 15 in the AP poll this morning, the best showing in recent history. The University of Florida Gators, who they took down in exciting fashion Saturday — after an epic Tailgate the likes of which probably won’t be seen in Florida for years…
Any college football fan who does a lot of Googling knows that when you search for a team’s name the search engine pulls up a specialized results page that include a header with the team’s latest score and upcoming score as well as a sidebar with general information on the…
Before yesterday, the Dolphins had been 1-6 in season openers dating back to 2006 — but lucky for them, the Browns had been a more dismal 1-12 in season openers dating back to their second go-around as a franchise in 1999. The Dolphins took advantage of this by whoopin’ some…
If after an entire summer of being subjected to the song non-stop and you’re still not sick of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” then, boy, do the Miami Dolphins have a treat for you! TD the Dolphin teamed with two Dolphins cheerleaders to put their own rendition of the infamous video…
Welcome to another Miami Dolphins season, kicking off this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Gone is the old logo and uniforms. Gone are many of last seasons players. Enter a lot of expectations for a franchise that has routinely disappointed it’s fans over the past decade, or four. Sunday is…
Until the Gators decided to stick their big scaly tail between their stumpy little legs, the Miami Hurricanes-Florida Gators rivalry was a big deal. Indeed it was the oldest rivalry in the state, and perhaps at times even more heated then the FSU-UM rivalry. As one UM alum once put…
In this corner we have Jonathan Vilma, current New Orleans Saint and former Miami Hurricane. In the other we have the Miami Marlins. No, Vilma is not taking on the entire team in a game of 9-on-1 baseball (though, he might actually win). Vilma’s barbecue restaurant, Brother Jimmy’s, is in…
It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that Ricky Williams used to smoke pot the night before Dolphins games. And it’s even less of a surprise that former Dolphins Channing Crowder is blabbing about it…
With his $4.4 billion in the bank, couldn’t Dolphins owner Stephen Ross afford a few remedial classes in basic public relations? We’ll give you this crash course for free, Steve: Do not throw an insane $200 million donation at your alma mater months after stomping around and demanding that broke-ass…
There’s a line in Deadspin’s “Why Your Team Sucks” pre-season write up of the Miami Dolphins that theorizes that Stephen Ross will extract his revenge on the public for not supporting his stadium renovation plans “by slashing expenditures, threatening to move, and hiring Pitbull to perform at EVERY halftime.” Turns…
In what hasn’t exactly been the most enjoyable season for Miami Marlins fans, every fifth day has been a reward for the four prior. Jose Fernandez’s story has been well documented, and beyond his dominance on the mound, his genuine upbeat personality and demeanor on the baseball field have been…
Lots of people try and rank college football teams, but that ignores the fact that only teams from one state actually matter. Because clearly things need to be ranked in list format, Riptide is here to rank Florida’s seven FBS teams. Join us this week as we witness the debut…
LeBron James is going multimedia. The two-time champ is teaming with premium cable channel Starz to produce a sitcom that isn’t quite autobiographical, but it’s easy to see where the inspiration comes from. The show, currently titled Survivors’ Remorse, follows the lives of two kids from the streets of Philadelphia…
Usually if the Miami Dolphins are putting booty on display it’s their cheerleaders, but according to Deadspin their official Twitter account accidentally sent out a picture with a big, while serving of player’s ass in the background…
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another season of Miami Hurricanes football. Tonight the Canes will kick off against the pride of Boca Raton, the Florida Atlantic University Owls.

College football season is finally upon us. Frat boys are scouring Party City for the perfect shade of body paint. Sorority girls are looking up ways on Pinterest to artfully cut up free pep rally T-shirts into midriff-baring tanks. Students everywhere are stocking up on Natty Lite. Excitement is rippling…
Don’t expect ESPN’s Scoop Jackson to write any more columns about LeBron James or the Miami Dolphins. He announced today that after careful consideration he’s boycotting Florida sports. He won’t even watch a single game involving a Florida sports team while in the end admitting “this gesture might only make…
The Marlins had a decent shot of derailing the red-hot Washington Nationals last night, taking a 3-1 lead in the top of the sixth thanks in part to a Giancarlo Stanton bomb. But then the Marlins realized they are the sad clowns of Major League Baseball and ended up stumbling…
Traitor! Judas! Backstabber! Apparently there is no “305 til’ I die (or get fired)” clause in Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s contract, because Spo gave a big pep talk to the Seattle Seahawks. Well, at least the Dolphins won’t be playing the Seahawks this season…
Hurricane season starts Friday as the boys in orange and green take on FAU in the season opener, and expectations are already riding high. The ACC media has already picked Miami as the likely winner of the ACC’s coastal division, but now “the worldwide leader in sports,” ESPN, has spoken…
