Canes get cuts from Miami Hurricane on Vimeo.We were kind of hoping Jacory Harris would make good on his promise to grow out an Afro until the Canes won a national championship, but January 2011 is an awful long time to wait to trim your tresses. Instead, you’ll notice his intricate…
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is finally playing hero in the post-season. That whole notion of A-Rod-can’t-hit-in-the-clutch seems but a distant dream this October. Ditto for the steroid revelations that dominated sports pages this off-season and Spring Training. But Miamian Yuri Sucart, his cousin and right-hand man made infamous for…
Video remix gold, brought to my attention courtesy of “CK” on the comment board at finsnation.com, the Dolphins fan site partially run by Miami New Times sports guy Chris Joseph. This is already on repeat in my iPod.And I swear I’d tattoo the highlights of the game to the inside…
The fine lady who has brought us lyrical gems such as “And I know I’m comin’ off just a little bit conceited / And I keep on repeatin’ / how the boys wanna eat it” and “I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk, get you love drunk off my hump” is reportedly…
The Miami Dolphins coaching staff must be avid readers of Riptide. Because they pretty much ran down the checklist of our three keys for a Dolphins victory post and came out on top with a thrilling, last-second 31-27 victory over the Jets on Monday Night Football. You’re welcome, everybody!It was…
The only way to make the Monday Night Football intro that will air tonight for the Dolphins-Jets game better (worse? more surreal? soulless?) is if Jimmy Buffett also sang in Spanish. But having Gloria Estefen beside Hank Williams Jr. as he belts out, “Estos listos para football?” is pretty damn…
Tonight is the Judgment Day, Hour of Reckoning, massively hysterical, Road to Armageddon, cats-and-dogs-living-together apocalyptic showdown between the Dolphins and Jets at Land Shark Stadium. Here are three key factors:1. Rex Ryan Knows How to Stop the Wildcat, Can Eat an Entire X-Mas Ham: Yes, Jets head coach Rex Ryan acts like…
FAMU Rattlers @ Miami Hurricanes, Saturday 7pm on ESPN 306 and WVUM 90.5 FMThe Fins will play Monday, but first will come the Canes vs. FAMU game this Saturday. Let’s hope the latter doesn’t turn into a notable matchup. There are a few story lines, but mostly “yawn.” The most…
After the Seventh Floor Crew’s smash hit “If Your Ho Only Knew,” and “Orange on one side, green on the other,” the Miami Hurricanes continue to be the best rap posse in college football. Rivals.com is hosting the “world premiere” of a new song by former players Gerard Daphnis and Dinavon “X1” Bythwood,…
With three seconds left in the game and his University of Michigan squad trailing Seton Hall by one point, 22-year-old guard Rumeal Robinson lined up for two all-important free throws. The NCAA Division 1 basketball title hung in the balance. The Zen-like junior fluttered one and then another shot through…
Just last week we pretty much concluded, “Well, we might never get an Olympics, but at least we get to host tons of Super Bowls and BCS championships.”But now, according to The Herald, the NFL is calling into question our ability to host future NFL games, and rubbing it in…
What a day for South Florida sports news! First Dwyane Wade begins the season with a hand to the face, and now Marlins rookie pitcher Sean West — whose development this season was one of the bright spots in the organization — has had a night out in Philadelphia to forget…
Oh, this is not good. We already had our star power-or-maybe-small forward of the future in a rehab facility for a full month; Lamar Odom waffled for three weeks and then chose L.A. over us (BTW: Notice how decisive he was when it came to marrying a Kardashian. We sent…
Maybe Jeffrey Loria took Tim Elfrink’s advice and stopped acting like “a world-class moron.” Because according to an unnamed Associated Press source, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez’s job is safe for now.The Marlins might not be ready to make the official announcement, but it seems all of yesterday’s hubbub might have been for…
Last week, Rio de Janeiro beat Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. Rio and Miami share many things, including tourism, beaches, and lots of South Americans. But here are five reasons the Magic City could never host the games: Public transportation: In a metropolitan area of more than 5.4…
Seems the Miami Hurricanes are well aware of everyone saying, “Well, let’s see how long this lasts before it goes to their heads and they screw up” — even though players and coaches alike are telling the media they still feel like underdogs.QB Jacory Harris has taken steps to ensure…
Somewhere in a New York penthouse right now, Jeffrey Loria is angrily straightening a Picasso on his wall, swigging a vintage Chianti, and cursing loudly.His Marlins have missed the playoffs yet again. And Loria has decided it must be his manager’s fault. Loria’s front office leaked his fury all over…
So the Miami Hurricanes — the ones that were unranked going into the season, the ones that some folks predicted would go 0-4 in one of the toughest opening schedules in recent history against four ranked opponents, the ones that were picked to finish fourth in their division — yeah,…
You might recall the Dolphins lately have been getting their asses dented on a week-to-week basis. This has directly led to an 0-3 start, a last-place standing in the AFC East, and Chad Pennington’s shoulder crumbling into powder before our eyes. Coming in to this week against the Buffalo Bills, all seemed lost…
We’ve had the worst luck with our quarterbacks since Dan Marino retied in 1999. And now, with Chad Pennington’s shoulder turning to shredded wheat last Sunday, it looks like the Chad Henne era is upon us sooner than anticipated. Henne comes with a rep for underachieving as a 4-year starter…
Both of our beloved South Florida football teams desperately need a win this weekend. One to get momentum back on track, the other to try and start some. Will Land Shark be the host of two upset victories, or the site of thousands of disappointingly hung heads? Let’s make sense…
Miami is in the business of hosting major sporting events, and it’s something we do pretty damn well. We’ve hosted more Super Bowl games than any other city, the Orange Bowl every year with the BCS, the Sony Ericcson Open, the final race of the NASCAR season, rounds of the…
