The Miami Dolphins are now awesome at football. The Gatorade celebration thing? Still needs a little work. It makes sense — they don’t practice it much, after all. After a nasty, defense-dominated, 37-0 win over the Chargers, the Dolphins wanted to cap off the big day with a celebratory shower…
LeBron James is gone, but criticism of the Miami Heat’s fans has stuck around like a cranky, drunk party guest. Heat fans didn’t see it, but during the local D.C. broadcast of Wednesday’s opener against the Wizards, Washington’s play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz accused the Heat of pumping in fake crowd…
The Miami Heat is back in your living room tomorrow night for the season opener, looking a tad different from past years but just as cocky. Slogans, campaigns, videos — you name it; the team wants you to know it isn’t going anywhere. This is still the Miami Heat, and…
The Miami Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-13 on Sunday, but it was a pigeon that trended worldwide on Twitter. Wait, what? Yup a pigeon. A pigeon that by the end of the game had it’s own Twitter account. What a world. During the second half of the game a…
This is not a joke about Juwan Howard. Promise. Illuminada Magtoto was facing her 90th birthday earlier this month and she realized she had one item left on her bucket list: playing one-on-one against Dwyane Wade. So she uploaded a plea on YouTube…
Behold above. This is Dolphins Nation. It is not very big. In the map, the shaded counties are places where the Dolphins are amongst the top three teams — but in most of those spots out of South Florida, that share is very small. That’s according to Twitter anyway. The…
Amazingly enough, it’s already almost time to turn your attention to what’s happening down on Biscayne Boulevard, as your new-look, less-hyped Miami Heat returns a week from today, looking to prove to the world that its world does not revolve around one man. The Heat still has the same goal…
It’s always nice when the good Dolphins show up. Most important, good Ryan Tannehill. Good Ryan Tannehill showed up Sunday. Tannehill was laser-accurate, completing 25 of 32 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns in a better-than-the-score-indicates-yet-still-booty-clenching-at-times 27-14 Miami Dolphins victory. Tannehill didn’t do anything overly explosive in the game…
Are you a 6’4″ man with an athletic build, a flare for loud fashion, a lot of money on your hands, and a hankering to do a little good for charity? Well, good news, because Dwyane Wade’s closet is currently on sale. Wade has teamed up with flash sale site…
The Miami Gardens Ravens were gearing up to take on the Carol City Chiefs at Miami Carol City Park. Both teams plays in the Flo Rida-sponsored Florida Youth Football League, which includes children as young as five. The park was packed with families. Then something odd appeared. Young girls in…
The Florida Panthers’ new management has decided there will be no more freebies. You’re cut off, South Florida. No more free tickets with the purchase of a Publix sub. The Panthers want you to pay to watch them play, and as you can see from the above photo of their…
The student who accused breakout University of Florida quarterback and former Booker T. Washington High star Treon Harris of sexual battery has dropped her complaint. The unnamed student will no longer pursuit charges against Harris, but his future with the football team still remains unclear. The University of Florida is…
Despite all the David Beckham gala events, the sad truth is that Miami is about as close to hosting a new MLS team today as the Heat is to contending without LeBron. It might well happen, but you sure can’t count on it. One local fan, though, was tired of…

Rick Ross is hustling everyday. Some days he’s hustling in the rap game. Others, he’s hustling with his Wing Stop franchise. On a recent day, the aim of his hustle was to buy a portion of the Miami Dolphins. In an interview with Angie Martinez of New York radio station…
The Miami Hurricanes dropped their third game of the season against Georgia Tech this past Saturday, all but assuring that the 2014-15 campaign will be just another dead-end. The frustrating loss to the Yellow Jackets has even caused some of Al Golden’s most loyal supporters to reconsider their allegiances. If…
Between 2012 and 2013, Treon Harris lead Booker T. Washington High’s football team to two state championships and a 22-game win streak as quarterback. On Saturday, he came off the bench and lead the Florida Gators to a come-from-behind win over SEC rivals Tennessee. Today, he finds himself suspended from…
We here at Riptide are staunch supporters of the South Florida secessionist movement. So when the New York Times put together a map of college football team fandom based on Facebook likes across the country, most probably saw it as a welcome excuse to click on something for five minutes…
Erik Spoelstra may be one of the younger head coaches in the NBA, but that doesn’t mean his taste in music is especially hip. In fact, the head coach almost turned down his first interview for his first job with the Miami Heat because he had tickets to a Grateful…
The time has come to find out who the real Miami Heat fans are. Now that the team has moved on from the Heatles Era, fans will be able to look around at one another and find out who’s been down from day one. The Miami Heat rolled out its…
Ryan Tannehill has one question for the haters: How does his pass taste? Fancy yourself a second helping, do you? Following an awkward week that felt like the worst dating show ever titled Joe Philbin Plays Hard To Get , Ryan Tannehill proceeded to rip the long-stemmed-rose out of his…
Oh my God, I can’t believe the Dolphins missed another first down / They’re losing to the Chiefs / That’s like so embarrassing / I can’t even / Hey, do you wanna get another beer / I really need one / But first … Let me take a #Selfie Yes,…
