Hour 1 kicks off with the NFLPA report cards as the Miami Dolphins once again dominate off the field, from elite facilities to owner Stephen Ross literally buying a grass farm to ensure the best playing surface in football. But while the Dolphins keep winning the “offseason championship,” Joe questions why that hasn't translated to real success, sharing a throwback story about Joe Robbie preaching people over luxury during a Super Bowl era matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The quarterback carousel heats up as the Indianapolis Colts allow Anthony Richardson to seek a trade, sparking a Richardson vs. Malik Willis debate and a larger draft conversation involving Fernando Mendoza, Tom Brady, and Dan Orlovsky stirring controversy over Ty Simpson.

From there, the focus shifts back to basketball with the Miami Heat falling to the Philadelphia 76ers, reinforcing concerns about inconsistency, the lack of a true superstar, and whether Erik Spoelstra has enough talent around Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. We wrap with Hollywood's Headlines, featuring Artemi Panarin gifting a Rolex to a mascot, buzz around WWE Elimination Chamber, drama involving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tez Johnson, plus a wild Florida Man theft story at Target.

Then, Alain Poupart joins to weigh in, quickly shutting down the boxing idea before diving deep into all things Miami Dolphins, from offseason report card grades to roster and cap concerns, including Tua Tagovailoa's contract issues, potential trades for Minkah Fitzpatrick, and the team's draft strategy and biggest needs.

Hour 4 kicks off with Joe sharing his tips for having fun at work while avoiding HR, then pivots to the Miami Dolphins, who once again top the NFL's offseason report cards. Joe reminds listeners that while off-field grades are nice, what really matters is production on the field, citing the New England Patriots as a team that won big last year despite mediocre grades. The conversation naturally turns to Tua Tagovailoa, exploring whether he could serve as a backup in Miami or find a role elsewhere in the league. Mike Florio joins fresh from the NFL Combine, offering insights on the QB market, praising Miami's new head coach and GM for continuity, and breaking down prospects like Malik Willis, Ty Simpson, and Fernando Mendoza, while predicting that veteran Kirk Cousins will land with a new team after his release from the Atlanta Falcons.

Alain Poupart joins the show and immediately shuts down the idea of a Crowder vs. Omar boxing match before diving into all things Miami Dolphins. Despite elite offseason report card grades, Poupart echoes the sentiment that wins — not amenities — define success, even questioning whether Miami's first-class setup has created a country club atmosphere. The conversation shifts to roster and cap concerns, with Poupart suggesting Tua Tagovailoa could be the lone realistic cap casualty moving forward while Minkah Fitzpatrick remains a possible trade candidate, and criticizing the organization for fully committing to Tua without an exit strategy or reliable backup plan. Poupart also previews draft strategy, including the possibility of trading down, Miami's biggest positional needs, and why a Tua trade market may be difficult to materialize. Alain ends by weighing in on the possibility of bringing in Anthony Richardson.

The Indianapolis Colts are allowing Anthony Richardson to seek a trade, reigniting the debate over raw talent versus production and whether his upside is worth the gamble for the Dolphins.

Meanwhile, Dan Orlovsky adds fuel to the fire by claiming Ty Simpson had a better first eight games than Mendoza, stirring up draft controversy.

NFLPA report cards are out and once again the Miami Dolphins are near the top thanks to elite off-field grades. From owner Stephen Ross investing in a personal grass farm to ensure top playing surfaces, to first-class facilities across the board, the organization continues to dominate the “offseason championship.” But Joe questions how much that really matters when wins don't follow, sharing a story from the pre-salary-cap era when former owner Joe Robbie downplayed luxury and preached that football success comes down to having the right people — not the fanciest setup.

The Miami Heat dropped a tough one to the Philadelphia 76ers, a team they're chasing in the standings, and it highlighted a familiar problem — inconsistency and a lack of late-game takeover ability. Despite having one of the league's top coaches in Erik Spoelstra, Miami continues to feel stuck in the middle, competitive but missing the superstar presence needed to close games and elevate the roster. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro remain strong foundational pieces, but the debate centers on whether the Heat can truly contend without that true No. 1 star.

With more cuts and potential trades looming, the crew breaks down how the Dolphins got here and what a painful reset could look like moving forward.

The crew discusses the draft buzz around Rueben Bain, noting how critics are nitpicking his shorter arms and debating how that could impact his draft stock. They reflect on other players in past drafts who faced similar scrutiny over physical traits or aspects of their game.
