There’s a lot being said this week about the Miami Dolphins quarterback situation. Mainly, is this it for Chad Henne? This comes largely thanks to a three-interception performance by Henne during Monday’s gash-fest against the New England Patriots. On Tuesday, ESPN analyst Chris Mortensen reported that Henne was going to…
Golf is generally a sport most people ignore unless there’s a juicy sex scandal involved. Otherwise, it’s not all that interesting. This is especially true when Rick Reilly is somehow involved. (Look at me! I’m terrible at golf! Just like you! But unlike you, I get paid millions to write…
The dream of having LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the same court finally became a reality last night! For about three minutes. But still. D-Wade had to sit out most of the Heat’s pre-season debut against the Detroit Pistons when he strained his right hamstring three and…
On a night where the Miami Dolphins were supposed to make a statement, get things back on track, and show the rest of the NFL watching world that they had arrived as a force to be reckoned with, they were instead beaten senselessly in a 41-14 shellacking at the hands…
Last week, it was against the Jets on Sunday Night Football. Tonight, it’s the Patriots on Monday Night Football. That’s two straight weeks the Dolphins face an AFC East rival in the national spotlight. Also, it’s two straight weeks they face a team with an insufferable fanbase. So tonight is…
A trio of NFL Network analysts recently broke down the final minutes of last week’s Dolphins-Jets game and came to the conclusion that Miami receiver Brandon Marshall was either tired, dogging it, or simply the worst human person walking on the face of the earth. On the show The Playbook,…
Whenever the Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State Seminoles go head-to-head, two words come to mind: wide and right. The other two words that come to mind are dad gummit. The two phrases have been married to each other since November 1991, when the Canes beat the Noles 17-16 after…
The NBA has always been about marketing itself to the world, particularly in European and Asian markets. So what better way to showcase the league than by having the Miami Heat — led by Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh — play a foreign team and beat the crap…
As losses go, last night’s 31-23 defeat at the hands of the New York Jets was particularly painful. Not just because it was a crappy way for the Fins to open their season at home. But also because the floodgates of troglodytic hubris have now been opened as Jets fans…
After starting the season on the road 2-0 and standing alone on top of the AFC East, your Miami Dolphins come home this weekend to host the hated New York Jets at Sun Life Stadium Sunday night. It’s been quite the eventful week for both teams. For the Fins, there’s…
It’s almost comical what an epic fail of a season it’s been for the 2010 Florida Marlins. And the microcosm of the Fish’s year of ineptitude can be summed up in ace pitcher Josh Johnson’s season. Johnson was a serious contender for the coveted Cy Young Award. He finished July…
The last time the Miami Dolphins faced the New England Patriots, the Fins found themselves down and out early in the game. The Patriots’ high-octane offense scored two quick touchdowns, putting the Dolphins in a difficult 14-0 hole. But all was not lost. Because Chad “the Robot” Henne stepped up…
It was a wild summer for Miami Heat fans. One filled with irrational fear (Oh, no! Dwyane Wade is going to Chicago and we’ll be left with Carlos Arroyo as our best player!); tempered enthusiasm (No way LeBron decides to come here! That’s a laughable pipe dream!); joy (D-Wade and…
Justin Timberlake made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno earlier this week to promote his new film Social Network. The conversation eventually turned to the NBA, where Timberlake proclaimed his beloved L.A. Lakers would pull off the Three-Peat this year. Leno then asked about how the Lakers…
Everyone had the Miami Dolphins going into Minnesota and getting their asses handed to them by Brett Favre and the Vikings. But when it came down to it, the Fins executed a simple two-part game plan against the supposed Super Bowl contenders to perfection. For the offense: No screw ups…
A couple of seasons ago, Chad Pennington led the Miami Dolphins to an AFC East-winning victory over his former team, the New York Jets. Last season, after getting into a war of words with Fins linebacker Channing Crowder, Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his team were served a massive…
It appears that the Miami Dolphins have lost first-round pick Jared Odrick for a month, maybe more. Odrick, the Dolphins’ rookie staring defensive end, suffered a hairline fracture in his right fibula during last Sunday’s game against Buffalo. The Dolphins won’t discuss the outcome of an MRI taken earlier today,…
Bummed out that tennis superstar Venus Williams canceled her Miami Book Fair appearance? Oh hey good news! The multiple Grand Slam champion will be signing her book Come to Win at the Books & Books at Bal Harbour Shops on Wednesday, September 15. So instead of waiting in line for…
The Miami Dolphins offense lurched their way through yesterday’s season-opener against the Buffalo Bills, managing to score only one touchdown and two field goals in their 15-10 victory. But the Dolphins defense stepped up large with three sacks while holding the Bills’ offense to 189-total yards. In other words, thank…
Are you ready for our completely meaningless and arbitrary predictions for the upcoming Dolphins season? Well this is it. The Riptide 2.0 Miami Dolphins 2010 Football Season Preview. Are you ready to get your ass blown off with some seriously capricious and utterly subjective prognosticating? Then let’s do this!…
How craptastic has this season been for your Florida Marlins? Well, there was Roy Halladay’s perfect game against the Fish back in May. But apparently giving up the 20th perfect game in Major League history wasn’t disconcerting enough, so the organization decided to sell all unused game tickets as souvenirs…
