Sometimes after going through a dark, dramatic period, nothing can do wonders like a brand-new wardrobe. Apparently, that was the Miami Hurricanes and Nike’s thinking as they unveiled a new set of uniforms this weekend.

Remember a few years ago when it seemed everyone in Miami was getting spammed text messages by someone promising to buy their “junk car?” Yeah, well the Florida Senate is looking at a way to make it easier for Floridians to get out of receiving spam by adding text messages…

Social media can be a fun and enriching way to build your personal brand, keep in touch with friends, and share enlightening and helpful information. It can also be a wretched hellhole of pure stupidity, endless misery, and unimaginable human horrors. Of course, South Florida have given us myriad examples…
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…
Continuing what’s become something of a tradition, the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders are back lip synching for their lives, and this time they really, really, really wanna zigga-zag-ah.

The surveillance video that leaked yesterday of a woman clad only in a thong rampaging through a Florida McDonald’s was so bizarre we weren’t even sure if it was real. Well now the woman, 41-year-old Sandra Suarez, has come forward to explain herself. Suarez says she wasn’t drunk or on…

Clearly, Florida is a not a safe place for fast-food restaurants. Someone doing something crazy in a burger joint in the Sunshine State is about as frequent as summer afternoon rain, yet a woman in St. Petersburg has made an entry into the canon that is bound to become legendary…
