Despite the fact that Orlando’s soccer team is still more than a year away from playing in the MLS and the fact that Miami’s MLS team doesn’t even exist yet (to the point that it doesn’t even have a name), the two future franchises are already bickering. Orlando City SC…

As native Floridians, we’ve always viewed the Winter Olympics as some sort of weird arctic elf games we’ll never truly be able to comprehend. As it turns out, there are not that many Floridians who go on to compete in these frigid competitions compared to northern states. Though, this year…
On Tuesday, Riptide ran a blog post about how Miami Springs’ nearly $5-million Glenn Curtiss Mansion restoration project is in trouble. It’s been a year since the house was rebuilt and according to city docs, Miami Springs is suing Carivon Construction, Co., for “construction defects related to the Curtiss Mansion.”…
Catcher in the Rye, The Adventures of Huck Finn, The Carter IV. Guess which literary endeavor that includes some questionable language got a Florida teacher suspended after he taught it in class? Yeah, it was the Lil Wayne album. A Boynton Beach charter school placed a teacher on a three-day…
Miami Heat minority owner Raanan Katz is a bit thin-skinned. Though he boasts a gratuitous public persona — there’s even an official day and street named after him in Sunny Isles — he still wants all the benefits of privacy. In 2010, he sued Aventura blogger Irina Chevaldina, who operates…
Che Scott is a very good-looking man who has not had sex in 10 years. As a 21-year-old UM football player, Scott took a vow of abstinence. The now-minister and chaplain for the Heat doesn’t plan on sleeping with anyone again until he’s married, out of respect for his future…
Miami-Dade Judge William Thomas almost made history as the first openly gay, black, male federal judge when President Obama nominated him for a position on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen showed up on the House floor yesterday in a white suit with a red shirt and a gold necklace. Apparently someone informed her that her sartorial sense seemed pretty close to Scarface’s Tony Montana, so she decided to have some fun with it on Twitter. “Two Cuban-Americans…
More people from Miami-Dade County to Broward than from any county to any other county in Florida. In fact, that county-to-county migration is the sixth highest in the entire country. According to Census Bureau data from 2011, about 25,000 packed up their U=Haul and moved from the 305 to BroCo…
Two cars in every garage, boiling Gatorade in every pot, frozen alligators in every freezer, and a bunch of meth within reach of your twin babies. Isn’t that the Florida dream? Wait, no, excuse us — nightmare. Three people were arrested in Polk County after deputies found a bunch of…
Say what you will about “Dr. Schnoz” Michael Salzhauer, but the incessantly self-promoting plastic surgeon has perfect timing. Just a day after Anesson Joseph fatally tried to eat another man’s face in Palm Beach, Salzhauer has launched a “zombie awareness video campaign” offering free Botox and cheap plastic surgery for…
Until the moment Anesson Joseph got naked Tuesday night and, in an apparent moment of insanity, allegedly chased, attacked, or bit several passersby before police shot him dead, he was a thoughtful West Palm Beach hipster who neither gave indication of what was to come nor had a criminal record…
Good morning! While you were asleep last night, the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers played future basketball, where people can fly, only dunks count, and playing defense is frowned upon. The Dunk counter ran out of batteries in this one, because all of the dunks happened, all shapes…
Don Whittington charged up to a desk inside a gargantuan Fort Lauderdale warehouse built from blue corrugated metal. He was seething. “You’re a bitch,” he hissed at the receptionist. Then, the five-foot-11 Whittington, who was once a championship racecar driver before earning an 18-month federal prison sentence for involvement with…
Love may be “an ever-fixed mark/That looks on tempests and is never shaken,” as the Bard once wrote. But beauty is a fickle bitch. That’s a lesson Kerri Aultman now knows all too well. The model normally keeps her hair dyed dark, with short sides and a long, stylish swoop…
You know you’re in trouble when your only defender is a company named “Bigglesworth.” Welcome to the sordid existence of South Florida’s most hated species: the Burmese python. This creature is so hated that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission last year assembled a ragtag crew of untrained python…
Iesha Crespo has most recently appeared in Drake’s music videos and the HBO series with Mark Wahlberg, Ballers, but the 23-year-old got her start with Taz’s Angels, a mysterious girl gang modeled after Charlie’s Angels. Its leader, Michael “Taz” Williams, puts a group of five women up in a $4.5…
Ever wonder what paths are the most popular for jogging in Miami? At Flowing Data, statistician-pulled data from run tracking app RunKeeper was used to map out the most highly jogged roads in the City of Miami (and a handful of other cities, too). Here are the results…
Despite last-minute interest in Alabama and continued overtures from Florida State, five-star defensive end Chad Thomas of Booker T. Washington Senior High approached the podium at the school’s national signing day event, popped “U,” and put on a Miami Hurricanes jacket. It was the highlight of a day that saw…
