Despite winning the last two meetings against the New York Jets, the Dolphins enter Sunday’s rematch as 3-point underdogs. This is mainly because the Jets are coming off a big win against the Raiders (which is basically the equivalence of beating a team made up entirely of organ grinders and…
Last week’s Clemson game got Canes fans’ hearts pumping in fear harder than anything they’re likely to experience on Halloween. After last week’s trick, please, Great Pumpkin, deliver us a treat.Tomorrow, the Canes will travel to Wake Forest to take on the Demon Deacons, the second most ghoulishly named team…
Running off the pure optimism of Wednesday night’s opening beat-down of the New York Knicks, I present to you the top five Miami Heat starting lineups for the 2010-2011 season.As most fans know, the Heat will have perhaps the best cap space situation in the league next summer to lure…
Last night, likenesses of your Miami Dolphins were literally slaughtered on South Park, which was a lot more enjoyable than watching them get figuratively slaughtered on the field most Sundays. We just pretended every player was Ted Ginn Jr., and it was rather cathartic.For some context: In last night’s episode,…
Is this the last year in Dade for Dwyane Wade? Can Michael Beasley overcome his Twitter and TMZ problems to prove he deserves that starting slot? These are the questions on the minds of Heat fans the day of the season opener. Not, noticeably, “Are we going to win another championship?…
For a more thorough and humorous review of every Miami Dolphins player who shat himself during yesterday’s 46-34 loss to the New Orleans Saints, see Chris Joseph’s post from this morning. I care only about my boy, Ted Ginn, Jr., who managed to sneak past Darrelle Revis two weeks ago…
When a team leads 24-10 at the half while having forced three turnovers, combined for five sacks and rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns, that team will, more often than not, end up the victor. But this is the Miami Dolphins. Normal rules need not apply. This is Suck…
Never underestimate those Miami Hurricanes. Tell them their opening stretch against four ranked opponents is the gridiron equivalent of a minefield in which they might get blown away, and they’ll rack up three wins. Tell them the rest of their season should be a breeze, and they’ll somehow lose at home to…
For all the gargantuan shit stains Nick Saban left on the Dolphins’ proverbial bed, no shit stain was as big a shit stain as the shit stain he left in the form of not signing Drew Brees when the Chargers made him available. Instead, Saban went with Daunte Culpepper. The…
While UCF was an easy win, watching their defense sack Jacory Harris six times wasn’t a pretty picture. Especially considering that the on-going saga of Sam Bradford’s shoulder was still fresh in the mind. It’s not exactly great news that this week the Hurricanes take on the 12th ranked defense…
Shortly before 7:30 p.m. last night, a sparse crowd gathered outside the entrance to the freshly renovated $5 million U.S. Century Bank Arena at Florida International University’s south campus.A bald man with a goatee wearing a navy blue FIU t-shirt talking to three other Golden Panthers fans relayed the latest…
The Dolphin’s Joey Porter hasn’t quite lived up to his trash talker potential this season, probably due to injury, but that’s okay because it seems linebacker Channing Crowder is more than making up for it.Hell, with this quote he might be the trash talker MVP for the entire league.Here he…
Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas used to be such good friends they exchanged kisses on the cheek when the Lakers met the Pistons in the 1988 NBA Final, but in a new book due to be released November 4 Johnson admits that there’s been bad blood between the two since…

2009 was shaping up to be one of the worst years of Alex Rodriguez’s life. He was already embroiled in a public divorce underscored by rumors that he was schtupping a woman 17 years his season — ok it was Madonna, but still.Then in February, Sports Illustrated and that pesky…
Here at Riptide, we haven’t exactly moderated our feelings for the Dolphins’ resident maestro of the skillet-hands and master of the 1.5-yards-after-catch Ted Ginn Jr.Indeed, we once threatened to “build a time machine” to travel back to the ’07 draft just to “punch Cam Cameron in the dick” for drafting…
On Sunday, October 18, 2009, the Buffalo Bills defeated the New York Jets 16-13 when Rian Lindell kicked a 47-yard field goal with 2:44 remaining in overtime. However, whoever had the ball last would have been victorious.The game, played at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey, was marred by…
For the first time this season, the Miami Hurricanes are ranked in the top ten of all of the major polls: eighth in the AP, ninth in the coaches’, and tenth in the Harris Interactive and BCS standings. But, with the exception of LSU, we’re the only team in the…

As we know from the “Wikipedia” entry on Wikipedia, Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. And apparently a few select Jets fans have put down their stone tools and cave paint brushes and figured out a little basic HTML. How do I know? Just check out the Wikipedia entry on…
If there’s anything I’ve learned from listening to right-wing radio, it’s that (1) it’s OK to be unfair to people as long as it makes economic sense, and (2) it’s OK to dredge up old quotes in order to defame someone and keep them out of positions of power. So, I’m…
Last night’s Pink Dress Collection fashion show at the Eden Roc was for a good cause — the Susan G. Komen for the Cure — so we’re sure Dennis Rodman meant to look as ridiculous as possible to guarantee maximum coverage. OK, we’ll gleefully play along. Seriously, the former NBA player took to…
