The best part of last night’s game wasn’t that LeBron James dropped 31 points, or that the Heat crushed Kobe’s Lakers without Dwyane Wade. Honestly, the best part wasn’t even when LeBron James absolutely pancaked Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria on the sideline while chasing a loose ball (although every…
You thought the name “Blue Ivy” was a bit strange? Turns out that Miami Heat guard has a daughter who goes by the quite regal name of “Queen Elizabeth.” She’s twenty-months-old now, but Heat fans didn’t get the birth announcement because Chalmers was only recently found to be the girl’s…
So we know that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was in some sort of altercation outside LIV nightclub at the Fontainebleau on Saturday, and that’s, well, about it. Rumors, aided by a Miami Herald reporter, suggested that the altercation somehow involved Lil Wayne. Though, this morning Bryant Tweeted a…
Scratch another notch onto the Fontainebleau, the high-rollin’ hotel where Gloria James (allegedly) slapped a valet and where Lil Wayne lost his 305 cred by partying with the Dallas Mavericks after they topped the Heat in the NBA Finals last year. The latest celebrity athlete embroiled in headlines tied to…
It took three games and a half of shitty basketball, but the Miami Heat finally got their mojo working in the second half of last night’s game, and eventually blew away the visiting San Antonio Spurs 120-98.With a hobbled Dwyane Wade unable to play on his birthday, it was up…
It’s tough to find a group of people who know the NBA more than the league’s own group of general managers. For the tenth year in a row, NBA.com surveyed all 30 GMs to get their take on the state of the league, and 74.1 percent think the Miami Heat…
After a diva-like and dramatic decision period that a so-so coach really didn’t deserve, Jeff Fisher has decided he’ll be the coach of the Los Angeles St. Louis Rams instead of the Miami Dolphinsnext season . This, of course, means the Dolphins’ search for a new coach is basically back to…
In a game that was billed as Lob City East vs. Lob City West, the Heat lost mostly thanks to their inability to hit free throws, as well as some pretty shitty officiating, giving them their second overtime loss in two nights as they fell to the LA Clippers 95-89…
Despite reports that he was “95 percent certain” he was going to take a job with the St. Louis Rams, former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is the subject of reports saying that he’s ready to commit to the Miami Dolphins now instead.It’s not clear what changed Fisher’s mind,…
Despite being canned after the Dolphins fell to a miserable 4-9 record in December, former head coach Tony Sparano is once again employed in the National Football League.No, it’s not selling concessions like we speculated on our cover two weeks ago — it’s even worse. He’s with the Jets. Sparano,…
While you were sleeping last night, the Miami Heat offense also fell asleep in the fourth quarter of their 111-106 overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors.It was a game of turnovers, sloppy play, Mario Chalmers dribbling basketballs off his foot, Udonis Haslem missing dunks, LeBron James disappearing in the fourth…
Could the Miami Hurricanes soon be on the hunt for its sixth offensive coordinator since 2005? Quite possibly if the Chicago Bears pursue current OC Jedd Fisch. The team is looking for a new passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach…
By now most Miamians are vaguely aware that there’s a professional sporting concern up in Sunrise that participates in some sort of Canadian folk sport nonsense known as “hockey.” But were you aware that this team, which purports to call itself the “Florida Panthers,” does not absolutely suck this year?…
The 2001 Miami Hurricanes are considered by most sane and reasonable people to be the greatest college football team of all time, but that didn’t necessarily translate to big TV ratings. Their appearance in that year’s Rose Bowl against the Nebraska Cornhuskers was the lowest-rated BCS Championship game in history…
On Saturday, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin was interviewing for the head coaching position with the Miami Dolphins. On Sunday, his 21-year-old son Michael Philbin was reported missing. Yesterday, police found a body in an icy river in Wisconsin. According to ESPN, police today plan to confirm that…
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said shortly after firing Tony Sparano that he’d be looking for a “young Don Shula.” So it sort of surprised us when he went all-in on the pursuit of Jeff Fisher. The man is certainly no young Don Shula. Jeff Fisher is, well, an old Jeff…
Don’t expect Mark Buehrle’s four year, $58 million contract with the Miami Marlins to translate into a boon for Miami’s real estate market. That’s because Buehrle’s family is literally banned from living within Miami-Dade County. Well, one member in particular: “Slater” Buehrle, the family’s 18-month-old American Staffordshire terrier. Despite the…
Dwyane Wade, out with a sore left foot. LeBron James, out with a sprained left ankle. The Miami Heat, having to go into Atlanta undermanned, against a Hawks team that had just beaten them at home with James and Wade.Problem? Shit and no.Enter Chris Bosh. Bosh proceeded to trample any…
When reports surfaced Saturday that Florida Panthers enforcer Krys Barch was ejected from the game for using a racial slur against Montreal Canadiens player P.K. Subban, a Canadian-native with Jamaican parents, everyone just sort of assumed Barch had dropped a N-bomb or something equally vile. Barch quickly defended himself though,…
The Miami Marlins inked a deal last night for once-explosive, possibly still insane Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano. With Ozzie Guillen already signed on to manage the club, the two most unhinged personalities in baseball will call Little Havana home next season.Scientists contacted by Riptide are still unsure what might result…
LeBron James overcame not having Dwyane Wade by his side, as well as a badly rolled ankle, and dropped 33 points in the Heat’s 118-83 jack up of the Indiana Pacers last night.LBJ also added 13 assists and was two rebounds shy of recording a triple-double on the night. Chris…
Oh, those poor, poor white folks, always the victims of racism. Just ask Ohio State linebacker Tyler Moeller. He’s busy whining about being called a “cracker” by University of Florida players during the Gator Bowl…
