To bolster Richie Incognito’s position that threats of violence between him and Jonathon Martin were just the pair’s special way of “bantering,” Incognito’s attorney released 40 pages of text messages between the former teammates to CBS Miami yesterday. Ironically, the controlled leak could lead to more problems for both Martin…
Every year, there is a Super Bowl. Every year, for the past 31 years, the Miami Dolphins have not been in that Super Bowl. So every year, Miamians are left deciding which team to nominally root for that night. In fact, over the past few years, Riptide has used a…
In response to Jonathon Martin’s first interview after leaving the Miami Dolphins, Richie Incognito’s lawyers have released 40 pages of text messages between the pair to certain media outlets. Some of the texts don’t make Incognito look too good, including a joke about how he’d shoot Martin and get away…
Forget cheering in the stands. If you really want to get a hold on a football team’s fandom’s true feelings you might be better off checking their Facebook posts. In fact, Facebook has done just that. They tracked fans (identified as people who liked a team’s official page on Facebook)…
If Kevin Durant was looking to send a message, message received loud and clear. Durant continued his streak of lighting the NBA on fire, scoring 33 points in a 112-95 stomping of a mistake-prone Miami Heat team Wednesday. Durant scored 30 or more for a career best 12th straight game,…
What’s it like watching professional basketball players step completely out of their comfort zone? No one would know better than legendary basketball guru and Miami Heat president Pat Riley. “Tomorrow is probably going to be the funnest day of the year at practice,” the 68-year-old Riley said at the Fillmore…
NFL legend Warren Moon is apparently a Miami Heat fan. So much so that when someone approached him with the opportunity to not only buy courtside tickets but also a 5 percent stake in the team, Moon jumped on the deal and transferred $200,000. Turns out the whole thing was…
In their first meeting since last years epic NBA Finals, the Miami Heat blew the doors off the San Antono Spurs 113-101. In contrast to last years seven-game craziness, this one had very little drama, as the Heat pushed their lead to nearly 30 — with the starters sitting on…
Chris Bosh scored 31, and LeBron James finished with 27 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists in a 109-102 Miami Heat win over the L.A. Lakers Thursday night. Chalmers and Cole both chipped in 11; Ray Allen had 10. Paul Gasol had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers…
It’s hard to outdouche Justin Bieber on a day like today, but, damn it, Marlins President David Samson is certainly going to give it his best shot. The guy who took off in the middle of the season to go film some silly reality show, proves himself to be an…
Kobe Bryant could be seen court side last night at the University of Miami vs. Duke basketball game (along with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade), but he wasn’t just on campus for sports. Bryant had apparently dropped into a class at Boston College last week while the Lakers were playing…
As hard as it seemed to believe, reports that Miami Marlins president David Samson had taken off in the middle of the season to go film a reality TV show weren’t rumors. He was officially announced today as a cast member of CBS’s Survivor: Cagayan…
Seantrel Henderson came to Coral Gables as a recruiting miracle. He leaves with a reputation of wasted potential and a string of unexplained suspensions from the team. Now Henderson has his eyes on the NFL and has admitted to teams that most of his suspensions with the Miami Hurricanes were…
In what is becoming a trend, the Heat once again Tuesday night played a game you would like to punt into a canal, jump in after it, drag it to the bottom, and put it under a rock like an alligator. Except they won this time, 93-86. Yeah, the Celtics…
Miami Heat players’ tendency to video bomb each other during post-game interviews has become the stuff of meme legend. So when the Heat visited the White House last week, none other than First Lady Michelle Obama decided to get in on the fun. Naturally, it was to help promote her…
The Miami Heat lost to the Atlanta Hawks Monday night, 121-114. The game started at 5:30 p.m., and ended at 8:02 p.m. That recap of the game gives pretty much as much effort as the Miami Heat defense right now. I will only continue out of respect to Pat Riley…
For a few hours Friday, Luther Campbell’s rocky relationship with the University of Miami athletic department appeared to be headed off a cliff. Craig Anderson, associate athletic director for compliance, ordered Uncle Luke — who despite recent criticism of the U, still bleeds orange-and-green — to leave the building minutes…
As you might have guessed, Miami Heat players are a cast of characters. So when the Heat’s Shane Battier asked his teammates to perform for a good cause, he didn’t have to do much persuading. “It’s hard to sell someone on getting onstage and putting themselves out there,” Battier said…
Soccer fans in Miami shouldn’t have to wait much longer. Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced today that he expects an official announcement to be made on David Beckham’s plans to bring the league back to Miami sometime in the next 30 days…
No one likes a bandwagon fan. Of this just about any sane person can agree, but the Washington Wizards’ decision to add insult to injury by employing a “bandwagon cam” during last night’s bashing of the Miami Heat just kind of comes off as classless…
The guys who run the the Heat superstore secretly replaced the regular Miami Heat with the generic brand. They wanted to see if we noticed. Yeah, we noticed. The Washington Wizards came out of the gate wizarding harder than they have ever wizarded before, scoring 43 points in the first…
In the 12 months since New Times broke the Biogenesis story, details of Alex Rodriguez’s doping habits have slowly emerged. This week, however, the sordid picture suddenly snapped into sharp and absurd relief. On Monday, Rodriguez filed a federal lawsuit to overturn the 162-game ban handed down two days earlier…
