When last we saw our Miami Dolphins, they were busy beating the bejesus out of the shitdipping trash-talking New York Jets, and silencing their shitdipping trash-talking fans in the process. It was one of the most satisfying wins in recent memory. Jason Taylor was able to talk some trash of…
When Miami sports agent Juan Ignacio Hernandez Nodar, 51, flew into Miami Friday after spending 13 years in a Cuban jail, he felt a bit like Rip Van Winkle. The small children he had left behind were all grown up and Miami had sprouted a new skyline.Hernandez, who tried to…
Virginia Cavaliers @ Miami Hurricanes, Saturday 12pm on ESPN360.com and 90.5 FM. College football is a ridiculously frustrating thing, and playing in the ACC only magnifies that. Listen, we know the chances of it happening are slight, but if Duke beats NC and somehow knocked off Georgia Tech next weekend they’d…
Maybe it’s a bad idea to publicly disagree with your boss. But I gotta say, watching this postseason only confirmed my belief that Alex Rodriguez is a world-class douche. It’s not just the strangely purple lips or the gingerly smug way that he digs in at bat like he’s got…
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. We haven’t been quite this flattered in a very long time.Three weeks ago, Riptide published a story about the very drastic fall of former pro basketball player Rumeal Robinson. We used court documents filed in Miami-Dade court and a revealing interview…
Could you imagine if Wake Forest kicker Jimmy Newman actually made that 60-yard field goal at the end of the game? Yeah, it was nearly possible, but it could have happened. Or imagine if the Demon Deacons had gotten a little farther down field in their last drive and set Newman…
Coming into yesterday’s rematch in the Meadowlands, Jets players called the Miami Dolphins a gimmicky team, called their Wildcat formation “nonsense,” and called Chad Henne a clown. They said they couldn’t wait to play Miami again, claimed they were the better team and threatened to take out Henne. DE Shaun…
It’s the weekend, so the best you’re getting from the ole Riptide sports desk is a repost of a repost.Check out this video of former Miami Heat coach Stan Van Gundy, AKA the Master of Panic, showing complete disdain for his overhyped, NBA-style introduction at the Orlando Magic’s home opener. I…
Despite winning the last two meetings against the New York Jets, the Dolphins enter Sunday’s rematch as 3-point underdogs. This is mainly because the Jets are coming off a big win against the Raiders (which is basically the equivalence of beating a team made up entirely of organ grinders and…
Last week’s Clemson game got Canes fans’ hearts pumping in fear harder than anything they’re likely to experience on Halloween. After last week’s trick, please, Great Pumpkin, deliver us a treat.Tomorrow, the Canes will travel to Wake Forest to take on the Demon Deacons, the second most ghoulishly named team…
Running off the pure optimism of Wednesday night’s opening beat-down of the New York Knicks, I present to you the top five Miami Heat starting lineups for the 2010-2011 season.As most fans know, the Heat will have perhaps the best cap space situation in the league next summer to lure…
Last night, likenesses of your Miami Dolphins were literally slaughtered on South Park, which was a lot more enjoyable than watching them get figuratively slaughtered on the field most Sundays. We just pretended every player was Ted Ginn Jr., and it was rather cathartic.For some context: In last night’s episode,…
Is this the last year in Dade for Dwyane Wade? Can Michael Beasley overcome his Twitter and TMZ problems to prove he deserves that starting slot? These are the questions on the minds of Heat fans the day of the season opener. Not, noticeably, “Are we going to win another championship?…
For a more thorough and humorous review of every Miami Dolphins player who shat himself during yesterday’s 46-34 loss to the New Orleans Saints, see Chris Joseph’s post from this morning. I care only about my boy, Ted Ginn, Jr., who managed to sneak past Darrelle Revis two weeks ago…
When a team leads 24-10 at the half while having forced three turnovers, combined for five sacks and rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns, that team will, more often than not, end up the victor. But this is the Miami Dolphins. Normal rules need not apply. This is Suck…
Never underestimate those Miami Hurricanes. Tell them their opening stretch against four ranked opponents is the gridiron equivalent of a minefield in which they might get blown away, and they’ll rack up three wins. Tell them the rest of their season should be a breeze, and they’ll somehow lose at home to…
For all the gargantuan shit stains Nick Saban left on the Dolphins’ proverbial bed, no shit stain was as big a shit stain as the shit stain he left in the form of not signing Drew Brees when the Chargers made him available. Instead, Saban went with Daunte Culpepper. The…
While UCF was an easy win, watching their defense sack Jacory Harris six times wasn’t a pretty picture. Especially considering that the on-going saga of Sam Bradford’s shoulder was still fresh in the mind. It’s not exactly great news that this week the Hurricanes take on the 12th ranked defense…
Shortly before 7:30 p.m. last night, a sparse crowd gathered outside the entrance to the freshly renovated $5 million U.S. Century Bank Arena at Florida International University’s south campus.A bald man with a goatee wearing a navy blue FIU t-shirt talking to three other Golden Panthers fans relayed the latest…
The Dolphin’s Joey Porter hasn’t quite lived up to his trash talker potential this season, probably due to injury, but that’s okay because it seems linebacker Channing Crowder is more than making up for it.Hell, with this quote he might be the trash talker MVP for the entire league.Here he…
Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas used to be such good friends they exchanged kisses on the cheek when the Lakers met the Pistons in the 1988 NBA Final, but in a new book due to be released November 4 Johnson admits that there’s been bad blood between the two since…
