We decided to go with the High Five video on Friday as our Super Bowl viral video, but upon further review we love this way too much to ignore. Slate V imagines what the Super Bowl would be like if it was directed by famous film auteurs. Unsurprisingly we think the styles…
With Super Bowl XLIV festivities in full swing, we hope we’ve given you a look into the sporting event the only way New Times knows how — with plenty of sex, drugs, and other questionable activities. Our big game coverage will reach its climax Sunday, when staff writer Tim Elfrink…
Lately, Miami’s got this glow. It’s a summery shimmering that one can only call … Orange. And we should all thank the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore and its very special skin tone for our city’s newfound luminescence. So bless you, Snooki, JWoww, the Situation, and the rest. You’ve immeasurably…
Isiah Thomas hasn’t even spent a full year at FIU, but the school’s men’s basketball coach and NBA legend could be headed back to the NBA. Reports have surfaced that the long-suffering Los Angeles Clippers have put Thomas near the top of their list to replace recently fired coach Mike…
“I’ve never seen these levels of awesomeness before in Miami. They’re getting way too high… high-five, that is.” Um, this video. There’s not really a punch line, but it’s awesome nonetheless. Two Funny or Die operatives have spent the past week in Miami documenting as many high-fives and, apparently, dramatic…
It happened early in the first quarter. An errant pass by Quentin Richardson was picked up midcourt by Cleveland Cavaliers power forward J.J. Hickson. Dwyane Wade rushed down the court in an attempt to contest Hickson’s layup (because who the hell else is gonna do it? Rafer Alston? Pfft!). The…

It sounds like a reality TV show in the making: A see-through bus full of babes on a cross-country roadtrip through the Bible belt, pole-dancing as they drive. You future producers can expect little old ladies to crap in their diapers, grown men to — literally — lick the side…
The ACC released its 2010 schedules today. The Hurricanes will open their season Thursday, September 2, against FAMU, but things get considerably harder after that, when the Canes take on two out-of-conference teams that finished well ahead of them in the Top 25 last season.They’ll have ten days after FAMU…
Former Hurricanes Coach Larry Coker was criticized for his over-reliance on internet site rankings and media buzz when it came to recruiting. Of course, Coker is the former coach for a reason, and we’re never truly sure what to make of National Signing day bruahaha. But current Coach Randy Shannon…
Tim Tebow isn’t the only football star stepping into the gridiron of abortion rights. New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita told the New York Times he doesn’t exactly agree with Tim Tebow’s pro-life message, his support of Focus on the Family, or with CBS’s decision to ban a gay dating ad during…
Dolphins fans owe two debts of gratitude to the Indianapolis Colts this year: (1) for dropping a regular-season game to ensure that the ’72 Fins remain the only team in modern NFL history to complete a perfect season, and (2) for stopping the NY Jets, with classless coach Rex Ryan, from playing in a…
To the unitiated, Super Bowl Media Day must sound like some outrageous backstage fantasy. Media and players partying together! Celebrities around every corner! Free buffet lunch! Well not to worry, ignorant and uninvited masses. Riptide is here to shatter those dreams. Imagine, instead, an airless room packed way beyond fire…
Remember Joe Kapp? The famous Latino quarterback long before the NFL was courting Latino viewers? With the Jets and Mark Sanchez out of the picture, Latinos won’t have much to root for come Super Bowl Sunday. Colts wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez is sidelined with a season-long injury, and Jonathan Casillas,…
The picture of Jets coach Rex Ryan’s now-infamous flip-off of a few heckling Miami Dolphins fans quickly made their way around the media and not surprisingly into the front office in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Ryan has been fined $50,000. That’s more than the average American makes in a year,…
Chad Ochocinco hasn’t yet accecpted New Times’ informal offer to write a 10,000-word odyssey/cover story about wearing Snuggies at McDonald’s and living a double life as Esteban the Most Interesting Footballer in the World. But we’ll consider his effort this afternoon at Sun Life Stadium a trial run. With a massive uniformed…
”Who Dat Nation” has begun its descent on our fair city in advance of the Super Bowl, where the New Orleans Saints will take on the Indianapolis Colts. Fittingly, while the Colts will stay in Fort Lauderdale, the Saints will hang out at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Miami, and…
Three players who have suited up in Dolphins Teal and five who are “all about The U,” have been named to the NFL’s All Decade Team. Chosen by the NFL Hall of Fame selection committee, the honors were announced before last night’s Pro Bowl. Much like the Pro Bowl itself,…
When you combine a guy who coaches a team from New Jersey with guys beating the crap out of each other for entertainment, you really shouldn’t expect anything classy. While attending a Strike Force mixed martial arts event at the BankAtlantic Center, the New York Jets’ Rex Ryan ran into some…
We imagine there’s a lot of horny housewives who have been left uncomforted by their husbands during big games causing them to quip, “You care more about the balls on the field than your own.” Well, those ladies are apparently correct.A New Orleans saint fan posted a Cragslist ad claiming…
The Miami Dolphins may only have two players on the roster for the first ever Pro Bowl played in Miami, but the University of Miami Hurricanes are well represented. So much so that it’s set a record. After the shake-up of injuries and Super Bowl bound teams pulling player a record…
Is there even any point in playing the season now that we know for a fact the Marlins will win the World Series this year? It has been foretold by the oracles of our time: the props department of long-canceled “near-future” submarine drama seaQuest DSV. (For the record, we have…
