Despite being canned after the Dolphins fell to a miserable 4-9 record in December, former head coach Tony Sparano is once again employed in the National Football League.No, it’s not selling concessions like we speculated on our cover two weeks ago — it’s even worse. He’s with the Jets. Sparano,…
While you were sleeping last night, the Miami Heat offense also fell asleep in the fourth quarter of their 111-106 overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors.It was a game of turnovers, sloppy play, Mario Chalmers dribbling basketballs off his foot, Udonis Haslem missing dunks, LeBron James disappearing in the fourth…
Could the Miami Hurricanes soon be on the hunt for its sixth offensive coordinator since 2005? Quite possibly if the Chicago Bears pursue current OC Jedd Fisch. The team is looking for a new passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach…
By now most Miamians are vaguely aware that there’s a professional sporting concern up in Sunrise that participates in some sort of Canadian folk sport nonsense known as “hockey.” But were you aware that this team, which purports to call itself the “Florida Panthers,” does not absolutely suck this year?…
The 2001 Miami Hurricanes are considered by most sane and reasonable people to be the greatest college football team of all time, but that didn’t necessarily translate to big TV ratings. Their appearance in that year’s Rose Bowl against the Nebraska Cornhuskers was the lowest-rated BCS Championship game in history…
On Saturday, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin was interviewing for the head coaching position with the Miami Dolphins.

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said shortly after firing Tony Sparano that he’d be looking for a “young Don Shula.” So it sort of surprised us when he went all-in on the pursuit of Jeff Fisher. The man is certainly no young Don Shula. Jeff Fisher is, well, an old Jeff…
Don’t expect Mark Buehrle’s four year, $58 million contract with the Miami Marlins to translate into a boon for Miami’s real estate market. That’s because Buehrle’s family is literally banned from living within Miami-Dade County. Well, one member in particular: “Slater” Buehrle, the family’s 18-month-old American Staffordshire terrier. Despite the…

When reports surfaced Saturday that Florida Panthers enforcer Krys Barch was ejected from the game for using a racial slur against Montreal Canadiens player P.K. Subban, a Canadian-native with Jamaican parents, everyone just sort of assumed Barch had dropped a N-bomb or something equally vile. Barch quickly defended himself though,…
The Miami Marlins inked a deal last night for once-explosive, possibly still insane Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano. With Ozzie Guillen already signed on to manage the club, the two most unhinged personalities in baseball will call Little Havana home next season.Scientists contacted by Riptide are still unsure what might result…
LeBron James overcame not having Dwyane Wade by his side, as well as a badly rolled ankle, and dropped 33 points in the Heat’s 118-83 jack up of the Indiana Pacers last night.LBJ also added 13 assists and was two rebounds shy of recording a triple-double on the night. Chris…
Oh, those poor, poor white folks, always the victims of racism. Just ask Ohio State linebacker Tyler Moeller. He’s busy whining about being called a “cracker” by University of Florida players during the Gator Bowl…

Jason Feifer, an editor at Fast Company and a lifelong Heat fan (despite, you know, being older than the franchise), had tickets to the Heat’s home opener December 27 against the Boston Celtics. Unfortunately for him, those tickets were for seats next to an overzealous and, from his perspective, annoying…
Maybe he should have tried to sweeten the deal with Heat tickets?Eric Scott Topalian, 23, of Boca Raton, was charged with possession of a controlled substance on Saturday, but tried to get out of the charges by bribing the arresting officer with a pair of tickets to Sunday’s Jets vs…
With John Gruden and Bill Cowher expected to stay off the NFL sidelines for at least another season, that leaves Jeff Fisher as just about the only experienced and somewhat proven former head coach up for grabs this offseason, and the Dolphins are expected to interview the former Tennessee Titans…
Jason Taylor played in the final game of his career yesterday. And what better way for him to go out than to bang the New York Jets’ season right in its ear hole, and send them back home with nothing.The Jets, needing a win (and a little help) to get…
Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Bobcats may have lost to the Miami Heat last night, but MJ has officially won something else that’s hot and from Miami: the hand of Yvette Prieto. According to Charlotte news station WCNC, Jordan asked Prieto to marry him on Christmas Eve. Obviously, she said yes…
Aside from that dark and confusing year he played for the Jets, Jason Taylor may be the most beloved Miami Dolphin since Dan Marino, but the 37-year-old is reportedly preparing to hang up his cleats for good after Sunday’s game against those New York Jets. Taylor put in 15 years…
Not many 6’2″ rookies can manage to steal the spotlight away from a collection of future Hall of Famers in their second NBA game ever. Not many 28th place draft picks manage to be the main man responsible for saving the defending East Conference Champs from an embarrassing fourth quarter…
