What are you doing tonight? According to Facebook, there’s a good chance you’ll either eat a mixture of your tears and the last melted spoonfuls of a carton of rocky road ice cream or get drunk with your friends while proclaiming, “Who needs a relationship when we have each other?…
Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is some mockery of bad neck tattoos, but also adulation directed at perps who just plain look more badass than we ever will. This is the italicized intro to that…
We can now imagine a scene where Real Housewives of Miami cast member Lisa Hochstein stands in front of her Star Island mansion proclaiming, “Mr. Boob God, tear down this house,” while her husband, plastic surgeon, Leonard Hochstein, sits behind the controls of a wrecking ball.

Move over Coppertone and Hawaiian Tropic. There’s a new sunscreen brand in town, and it’s literally named after the town. After the City of Miami Beach negotiated a contract last year to license its name out to a sunscreen line, Miami Beach™ Suncare has now officially hit the shelves…
Are we living in some sort of dystopian future? We don’t know, but we do know researchers at FIU have developed technology that have brought us one step closer to a real life RoboCop. Researchers at the school’s Discovery Lab are working on a project called TeleBot that would allow…
When you’re arrested in Florida your mug shots gets splashed across the internet in a matter of days.

Though, in recent years several commercial websites have popped up that keep…
The NFL is expected to release the findings of the investigation into the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin situation any day now.

When David Beckham confirmed that he’d be bringing a Major League Soccer team back to Miami last week he unfortunately didn’t give us any new details. You know, things like a team name, colors, or shield design. Well, now the Palm Beach Post has obtained a couple of possible team…
Certain concern trolls seem to be of the mind that Michael Sam should wind up in an NFL team with a progressive owner, an entrenched GM, a strong head coach, and a healthy locker room culture — all of which the Miami Dolphins lack. However, owner Stephen Ross says the…
To promote his new book, The Party’s Over, and kick up buzz about his campaign for governor, Charlie Crist stopped by The Colbert Report last night. Of course, that meant some prime Rick Scott joke opportunities for Colbert, and the host asked Crist if he was afraid of Scott. “You’re…
Victor Luis and his brother had been drinking heavily at Spinnaker’s Bar in North Miami Beach back in 2012. Though, when Luis, 49, found out that his brother had gone to Gulfstream Park earlier in the day and didn’t invite him the two started shoving each other around. Luis eventually…
Amidst the discussion of Michael Sam’s coming out is this weird implication among certain NFL types and media personalities that the trash-talked filled pro locker rooms might be just too much to bear for a gay man. As if gay men can’t take it or dish it out in equal…
In one corner we have the media and Florida’s notoriously progressive open record laws. In the other we have diminutive pop mischief maker Justin Bieber. The media, of course, had a field day when Bieber was arrested last month for supposedly drag racing while high down a Miami Beach residential…

NFL draft prospect Michael Sam came out over the weekend. Though the public response from the NFL and many players was positive, an article full of off-the-record NFL sources showed there’s still some resistance to an openly gay player in the league. Apparently some older NFL types are under the…
The Cuban embargo has been in place for well over 50 years now to little effect, and now a new poll claims that a majority of Americans, and an even larger share of Floridians, believe it’s time to end it. The poll was presented this morning from D.C.-based think tank…

Chris Bosh’s life imitates art… sort of. Last year, the Borscht Film Festival made sports blog headlines by producing an unauthorized animated short film that portrayed Chris Bosh as an intergalactic space prince. Well, now real-life Bosh himself is actually providing the voice for an animated inter-dimensional, all-seeing, and all-hearing…
