Remember when the Marlins announced the roster of local artists they’d hired to spruce up their new Little Havana ballpark and everyone was all, “Yay! No Britto! Nice work, team.” That enthusiasm was tempered as we got our first look at the iris-searing home run sculpture in left, a construction…
Venus Williams didn’t let a little Sjogren’s Syndrome get in her way at the first women’s singles match of the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne yesterday.No, no, she showed that disorder who was boss and whooped Japan’s Kimiko Date-Krumm in a 77 minute-long short match (6-0, 6-3).The 31 year-old…
For pretty much the entirety of last night’s game against the Phoenix Suns, the Miami Heat played basketball like old people fuck. Winners of their last four games, the Suns came in shooting lights-out and playing suffocating defense. Dwyane Wade was shut down by Grant Hill, while LeBron James was…
Oh man, have we ever missed Joey Porter and his big, fat, flapping mouth. He talked himself out of town back in 2010. Porter pretty much got fired after ripping the team’s management and then coach Tony Sparano. Rest assured, he still has words for Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland and…
I’m starting to think that Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland is more incompetent than he is idiotic. If he was just plain stupid, he’d probably be hot in the chase of Tim Tebow right now, and, well, we told you how we feel about that yesterday. Thankfully, according to reports…
Last night, it wasn’t so great to be a Miami Hurricane. Both the University of Miami men’s and women’s basketball teams saw their seasons come to an end by being upset in their respective tournaments by much lower seeded teams…
So, Peyton Manning has chosen to play for the Denver Broncos, which officially ends the reign of Tebowmania in Colorado.What does that mean for the Dolphins? The sports media has already cued up the Tebow-to-Miami talks. We’d rather they hit the kill button. Nothing about that makes sense…
While most of America was belligerently chanting about the luck of the Irish this weekend, one Ireland was having what might have been the worst weekend of his professional life: Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland. He officially lost Peyton Manning, and then he missed out on Matt Flynn too.Now, Steelers…
The hate hit Sarah Spiegel’s YouTube account early last week, calling her an idiot and a hack and suggesting that she join her favorite team, the Miami Marlins, in just going straight to hell. Spiegel’s crime? Taking almost two weeks out of her singing career to pen a new ode…
How pathetic are the Dolphins’ front office? They couldn’t even secure a meeting with Peyton Manning on their own and had to enlist the help of Dan Marino. Yep, despite not having played for the ‘Fins for 13 years and not having any official affiliation with the team, Marino continues…
Once again, the University of Miami’s women’s basketball team is a third seed in the NCAA tournament, and once again President Barack Obama has snubbed them. Just like last year, the president predicts the Lady Canes will make a second round exit against a sixth seed team, this time at…
Peyton Manning has officially told the Miami Dolphins he won’t be suiting up in aqua and orange next season. It’s another embarrassing failure for owner Stephen Ross and GM Jeff Ireland, and there’s even some suggestions that Manning only took the meeting with the Fins as a favor to Dan…
Apparently LeBron James isn’t the only Heat star with a sometimes embarrassing parent. Dwyane Wade’s father, Dwyane Wade Sr., was ejected from the United Arena last night during the Bulls-Heat game, reportedly for yelling obscenities. Jeez, what a big fucking bag of dicks. Updated. …
Yesterday, Riptide found what seemed to be a theme song for the newly christened Miami Marlins. Sadly, we’ve since learned the song is unofficial, a passionate fan ode to the reborn franchise — which makes the music much more endearing, and also more confusing. Who the hell takes the time…
Who the hell is in charge of the Miami Marlins’ latest creative decisions? First we got that logo and the uniforms. Then came that home run “thing.” Now we’ve got what appears to be a brand new theme song that is predictably horrible. It sounds like a theme song for…
Bye, bye, Brandon Marshall? FoxSports.com’s NFL Insider has Tweeted that the Dolphin’s Brandon Marshall just got traded to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a pretty paltry two third round pics. Well, this is pretty huge. Especially considering Peyton Manning was said to be wary of working with Marshall. Update:…
How big of a mess is the Manning mania rumor mill? Well, depending on who you ask, the Miami Dolphins are either still very much in the running to land Peyton Manning’s services or completely out. Let’s run down the rumors. Updated!…
It’s not a secret that Magic Center Dwight Howard won’t be staying in Orlando much longer, and the saga of where he ends up may be the NBA’s most dramatic decision since, well, LeBron landed in Miami. Could Howard’s tale have the same ending? A Sports Illustrated reporter says that…
Eight of South Florida’s finest sports mascot entered the tournament. Close to 600 voters decided the final, and in a stunning landslide, the University of Miami’s Sebastian the Ibis has won the title of Miami’s Favorite Mascot…
We all know that Miami’s reigning rap king Rick Ross prefers the finer things in life, and likes to flaunt that fact on his Twitter account. Today Ross Tweeted a picture of his latest favorite product: marijuana named after New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin…
Could Miami be too big of a market for Peyton Manning? ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter, citing several “sources,” says that the media frenzy that greeted Manning as he arrived in South Florida may have scared him off. Schefter suggests that like Jim Harbaugh and Jeff Fisher before him, Manning…
The time has come: we’ve now reached the grand championship match-up of our Miami Mascot Madness Tournament. Despite some close calls in Round One, the match-ups in Round Two were both total blowouts. In fact, when we started this tournament we would have never seen this coming: It’s Sebastian the…
