Yesterday, ESPN ran a weird little piece of speculative fan fiction imagining the possibility of LeBron James ditching the Heat in 2014 to replace Kobe Bryant on the Lakers. It was a piece designed to cause controversy, more than, you know, report actual facts. …
LeBron James is only guaranteed to be a member of the Miami Heat for the next two seasons — after that, he’s got two year of player option left on his contract. So, of course today brought us a dramatic ESPN report that the Los Angeles Lakers are getting ready…

Remember when NFL officials inferred that Miami might never host another Super Bowl unless serious upgrades were made to Sun Life Stadium? Apparently they weren’t too serious about that threat. According to USA Today, Miami will be announced as one of two finalists to host Super Bowl L in 2016…
LeBron James is joining the ranks of Wolverine, Captain America, and Spider-Man. He’s getting his own Marvel comic book. The publishing company has teamed up with (new Disney corporate cousin) ESPN to produce a special one-off issue of a LeBron comic that will be inserted into the next issue of…
The Miami Dolphins are 3-3 today in spite of absolutely listless performances by both teams in a boring game, a second straight game of questionable (read: crappy) officiating and the Dolphins only rushing for a total of 20 yards all game. However, the continued influence of Ryan Tannehill’s burgeoning awesomeness…
There’s nothing worse than looking at photos and videos from other people’s boring vacations, but those people usually aren’t the Miami Heat. The defending champs are in China right now to play two preseason games against the LA Clippers, and the team, coaches and dancers (yes, even the dancers!) took…
Every week, Riptide’s crack team of employment termination scientists gauge just how fireable loathed Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland has become following his latest series of horrific blunders. So how close is the Ginger Menace to getting canned this week?Yes, the Dolphins managed to outlast the Cincinnati Bengals over the…
It’s 2012, not 1999, so we’re not really usually in the market for YouTube-hosted parody songs of Eminem’s breakout hit “My Name Is.”But then again, those parodies usually don’t expertly roast Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland…
For the third time since 2008 the Miami Hurricanes are on the hunt for a new athletics director. Don’t worry though, University of Miami President Donna Shalala says she has heard from literally hundreds of people who wants the job. “I’m getting hundreds of emails from people wanting the job,”…
In a game that featured absolutely putrid calls on the field by the recently-returned “professional” refs, the Dolphins managed to hold off the Cincinnati Bengals for a 17-13 win. An overall sloppy game for both teams was sealed when safety Reshad Jones intercepted Andy Dalton with 1:22 left in the…
The Heat will travel to China next week for two preseason games against the LA Clippers, and fans in the country are basketball-crazy, perhaps even more so than in America. Hell, they worship Shane Battier. Seriously, dude’s face is apparently plastered all over billboards, and he’s nicknamed “Mr. President.”…
Is Ozzie Guillen’s time in Miami over? It’s hard to imagine a more disastrous season for a manager. Not only did the man manage to piss off half of his fan base by declaring his “love” for Fidel Castro, but he also sunk a promising start into a prolonged team…
Seems like the University of Miami can’t hold onto an athletic director. Current AD Shawn Eichorst officially offered his resignation today and will take the same job at the University of Nebraska. This will be the second athletic director in a row UM has lost to a bigger school…

You’d think Philadelphia would use a basketball superstar from their own team to try and push that brown crystal, but you have to remember that Philadelphia’s basketball team is the 76ers and they don’t have much in the way of star power right now.So, apparently heroin dealers in the City…
Now is the season of Miami’s discontent, thanks to our terrible local teams. The Dolphins are a joke. The Marlins are even worse than last year. The University of Miami Hurricanes aren’t much better, losing to Kansas State by 39 points. The Florida Panthers are locked out. And South Florida’s…
For the second week in a row, the Dolphins failed to capitalize on opportunities to close out a game and lost an overtime game they should have won. Given the “Cardiac Cards” moniker Arizona has earned as of late, you had to figure this game would get wild towards the…
Sports teams are like Hollywood movies: sometimes they can be so bad they’re actually good. Such is the case with the Miami Marlins, who are quickly becoming the Snakes on a Plane of professional baseball. More than seven years ago, Adam Greenberg was called up by the Chicago Cubs for…
I guess it’s only fair that since the Miami Heat have the undisputed best basketball player in the world that they should also have the worst player in the entire league.To no one’s surprise, ESPN’s experts today put LeBron James atop their #NBARank listicle, which is kind of hilarious because last…
It’s never a good sign when a baseball team’s locker room drama is so much more interesting to follow then their on field efforts.The fish fight between Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen and pitcher Heath Bell continues with Guillen throwing the latest bomb. It’s not that he’s lost respect for…
