Sports shock jock Sid Rosenberg is out at 790 The Tickets, apparently it was a mutual decision. Rosenberg started at the sports station back in 2005, after a noted career as Don Imus's sports sidekick and occasional crack-cocaine enthusiast. Though, rumors on the internets suggest he could be the new side kick for Mike Francesa. As a tribute to Rosenberg, Riptide has collected his all time most controversial comments from through out his career. Oh, how we'll miss this level of intellectual hone
Wikimedia CommonsThe Sony Ericsson Open begins tomorrow on Key Biscayne, and that means the tennis world's most notorious one-man circus is coming to town. Forget the athletes; we're following Richard Williams, dad of the top-seeded sisters and Palm Beach Gardens residents Serena and Venus. Richard's antics include telling a reporter: "The White Man hated me all my life and I hate him," and, after a daughter's victory, hopping over an NBC broadcasting booth while yelling, "Straight out of Compto

Sure, there are the haters who want to think the outcomes are fixed, but for the rest of us watching the two sisters, who just happen to be the most dominant players of the past decade (or are they the most dominant players who just happen to be sisters?) is a fascinating thing.

Just about the only bold names casual American tennis fans can be expected to recognize who performed up to expectations at this year's Miami Masters were Andy Roddick and Venus Williams. Roddick made it as far as he could until he got dropped by Roger Federer; meanwhile, Venus put up a good show until she got defeated by her sister. Looking at their recent careers, really that is the best we can expect from them. As for the other superstars on Key Biscayne, what in hell happened? Rafael Nadal w

​The group that gathered last night for the City of Miami mayoral debate between commissioners Tomas Regalado and Joe Sanchez made Joe Wilson, Kanye West, and Serena Williams look like upstanding examples of manners.
