Inside a mixed martial arts training studio just a block east of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Charles Champion takes a seat on the blue mat where for the past month he has been training for his cage match versus Rene “Level” Martinez tonight. Like Martinez,…
First things first: Ricky Williams is now officially the Ambassador of Fucking Your Shit Up and Knocking Fools’ Dicks Into the Dirt after last night’s brilliant 119-yard, three-touchdown performance. Many had their doubts about the Dolphins’ ability to effectively run the ball without Ronnie Brown. But Ricky silenced all the…
And so we come to this. Sitting at 4-5, the Miami Dolphins face a must-win game tonight as take on the equally desperate (and some would say equally craptastic) 4-5 Carolina Panthers. The winner will experience the sweet taste of being a .500 team for the first time this season…
Chad Pennington has already worked his way back from throwing arm injuries twice in his career, and he’s not sure if he can do it for a third time.According to the Associated Press, Pennington has finished the first phase of rehabilitation, but may wait until as late as March to…

Happ, according to ABC News.In 128 games this season, Cogs hit .321 with nine home runs and…
Well, we did say in our preview that this one felt like it was going to be closer than it should be? And, Christ, was it ever. Ugly win? This was lady-bitten-in-the-face-by-a-crazy-ass-chimp ugly as the Dolphins mangled, bungled, and stumbled their way to a 25-23 victory over the lowly Buccaneers…
So, the Dolphins clearly cannot hang with the likes of the Colts, Saints, Falcons or Patriots. We get that. But this Sunday, the Fins host what is most likely the worst team in the NFL this side of Detroit – the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And while Miami does have the…
When circling big games at the beginning of the season, I think we all ran out of ink after we got past the first four.When those were over with, then everyone decided to paint North Carolina as an easy win when we were all more eager to talk about the…
Blessed is the life of the anonymous Major League middle reliever. You work six months of a year, spend half of your team’s games shooting the shit in the bullpen, and make as much money as the president.But the key is to not get too good. Because then people start…
As mentioned yesterday, Wade has been personally picked to be the spokesman for the new shoe, the first time Jordan has shared the spotlight for his Nike-owned brand. He’ll be wearing them for the first time during All-Star weekend. Dime Mag was there for the unveiling of the new kicks, and…
For the 25th anniversary of the iconic Air Jordan sneaker the shoe’s namesake will be making some room in the spotlight for another superstar: Dwyane Wade. Wade is expected to debut the shoe in Februrary, and will be the first spokesman other than Michael Jordan himself for the Air Jordan brand. “I…

Depending on how much of a die-hard soccer fan you are, watching South Florida’s pro soccer team Miami FC’s front-office machinations can be more interesting than any of its on-field action. In its effort to survive, the club has tried everything. It’s signed the Barry Bonds of soccer — and…
What’s there to say about Miami’s win against Virginia? It was nice to see the Canes dominate a conference rival who deserved to be dominated during Homecoming, but otherwise *yawn*. Instead let’s bitch about polls and make wild predictions about bowl games!Those lovely AP voters and the BCS’s diabolical computers…
When Vontae Davis started off the game with a leaping interception that can only be described as Fuck Yea!, the consensus feeling was the Dolphins were going to make this one interesting. Maybe even pull off the upset. Alas, it was not to be. The Patriots were able to show…
When last we saw our Miami Dolphins, they were busy beating the bejesus out of the shitdipping trash-talking New York Jets, and silencing their shitdipping trash-talking fans in the process. It was one of the most satisfying wins in recent memory. Jason Taylor was able to talk some trash of…
When Miami sports agent Juan Ignacio Hernandez Nodar, 51, flew into Miami Friday after spending 13 years in a Cuban jail, he felt a bit like Rip Van Winkle. The small children he had left behind were all grown up and Miami had sprouted a new skyline.Hernandez, who tried to…
Virginia Cavaliers @ Miami Hurricanes, Saturday 12pm on ESPN360.com and 90.5 FM. College football is a ridiculously frustrating thing, and playing in the ACC only magnifies that. Listen, we know the chances of it happening are slight, but if Duke beats NC and somehow knocked off Georgia Tech next weekend they’d…
Maybe it’s a bad idea to publicly disagree with your boss. But I gotta say, watching this postseason only confirmed my belief that Alex Rodriguez is a world-class douche. It’s not just the strangely purple lips or the gingerly smug way that he digs in at bat like he’s got…
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. We haven’t been quite this flattered in a very long time.Three weeks ago, Riptide published a story about the very drastic fall of former pro basketball player Rumeal Robinson. We used court documents filed in Miami-Dade court and a revealing interview…
Could you imagine if Wake Forest kicker Jimmy Newman actually made that 60-yard field goal at the end of the game? Yeah, it was nearly possible, but it could have happened. Or imagine if the Demon Deacons had gotten a little farther down field in their last drive and set Newman…
Coming into yesterday’s rematch in the Meadowlands, Jets players called the Miami Dolphins a gimmicky team, called their Wildcat formation “nonsense,” and called Chad Henne a clown. They said they couldn’t wait to play Miami again, claimed they were the better team and threatened to take out Henne. DE Shaun…
