• The Week That Was: Can They Hurry Up and Stimulate Us Already?

  Here is your weekly wrap up of things that bravely dared to appear on Riptide this week. There was a Super Bowl this past weekend. Your Miami Dolphins team was not present, but perhaps they could have been if Wayne Huzienga hired Steelers coach Mike Tomlin instead of that Cam Cameron fellow.

A burly, dreadlocked guard sits in front of a heavy metal front door, and all of the windows are grated and sealed. The 6-foot-4-or-so Ivory, who's 63 but looks ten years younger, wears a red shirt th
