Joe Rose Show

On Tuesday's show the guys break down the Heat's ugly loss to a struggling Jazz team and use it as a springboard to discuss major issues across professional sports, including tanking, superstar load management in the NBA, and MLB's lack of competitive balance. They highlight the NFL's dominance, with Bad Bunny breaking Super Bowl halftime viewership records despite some owner pushback, and weigh in on college sports controversies, FSU's infamous 2‑10 football season, and the Dolphins' offseason quarterback carousel. Former NFL GM Mike Mayock joins to analyze Seattle's defensive mastery in the Super Bowl, the NFL draft class, and potential fits for Malik Willis, while Kyle Crabbs breaks down how Miami could address key offensive line holes and Tua's contract situation. The show also touches on Valentine's Day dilemmas and the upcoming Winter Olympics hockey action, making for a mix of sports insight, offbeat stories, and fun commentary.

Hour 1 opens with the Heat's ugly home loss to a tanking Jazz team, leading to a broader discussion about major issues in the NBA like tanking, load management, and the overreliance on the three-point shot. The guys contrast that with the NFL's continued dominance, as the Super Bowl halftime show breaks viewership records and the league's ratings and revenue keep climbing no matter the controversy. They also touch on MLB's financial imbalance and how low-payroll teams like the Marlins face an uphill battle to compete. The hour includes news of Adam Gase joining Mike McDaniel with the Chargers and wraps with some lighthearted Valentine's Day talk as Joe and Hollywood debate how far you really have to go to get it right.

Hour 2 opens with the Heat's frustrating loss to a tanking Jazz team, sparking a broader discussion about the NBA's issues, including an underwhelming Dunk Contest, a watered-down All-Star Weekend, and a schedule that's too long but will never change because of money. The guys also give credit to the Marlins for fighting to stay competitive last season despite limited payroll flexibility. They pivot to the NFL, where Bad Bunny's halftime show broke records despite reported pushback from some owners, and talk about the Patriots taking heat for their Super Bowl loss while noting Drake Maye still had a strong season. The hour also includes news of Adam Gase joining Mike McDaniel with the Chargers and wraps with Hollywood's Headlines featuring Alix Earle/Tom Brady rumors, college sports eligibility chaos, and Jordon Hudson's headline-grabbing shirt at a UNC game.

Hour 3 features former NFL GM and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock breaking down Seattle's defensive dominance in the Super Bowl and sharing his take on the Dolphins' quarterback situation. He expects Tua to get another chance elsewhere due to the league-wide QB shortage and isn't overly impressed with this year's draft class outside of Mendoza, while also weighing in on Malik Willis as a potential fit in Miami. The conversation shifts to college football, where Mayock critiques the NIL and transfer portal era and calls for a collective bargaining agreement. Later, Kyle Crabbs joins to analyze how the Dolphins could address key offensive line holes to replicate Seattle's formula, the value of extending center Aaron Brewer, and the quarterback carousel this offseason, with both agreeing there's no scenario where Miami avoids paying most of Tua's contract.

Hour 4 opens with the Heat's disappointing loss to a struggling Jazz team, sparking a broader discussion about the biggest problems across professional sports. Joe points to MLB as the league with the worst competitive balance, while comparing the USA vs. World All-Star Game in the NHL and noting that players in the Winter Olympics will give their all despite concerns from GMs and owners. The conversation also touches on FSU's struggles in past seasons, poking fun at their 2‑10 football record, and highlights Bad Bunny breaking Super Bowl halftime viewership records. The hour also touches on the offseason direction of the Miami Dolphins.

Former NFL GM and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock joins the show to break down Seattle's defensive masterpiece in the Super Bowl and share his thoughts on the Dolphins' quarterback situation. Mayock says he expects Tua to get another opportunity elsewhere because of the league-wide shortage of quality QBs, while adding he's not overly impressed with this year's draft class outside of Mendoza, whom he compares to Matt Ryan. He also discusses Malik Willis as a potential fit in Miami given his ties to the Dolphins' front office and coaching staff. The conversation shifts to college football, where Mayock says the NIL and transfer portal era has gone too far and calls for a collective bargaining agreement in college sports.

Kyle Crabbs joins the show to break down how the Seahawks were able to dominate defensively in the Super Bowl and what the Dolphins would need to address to replicate that formula. He highlights key holes along Miami's offensive line, stressing the importance of extending center Aaron Brewer. Crabbs also notes that Malik Willis could benefit financially from a weak QB draft class and says he'd be on board with Miami signing him at the right price. The conversation expands to the offseason quarterback carousel, with both Joe and Crabbs agreeing there's no scenario where the Dolphins avoid paying most of Tua's contract next season

The guys react to the Heat's ugly loss at home to a Jazz team clearly trying to tank, using it as a jumping-off point to discuss bigger issues around the NBA, including tanking and superstars not playing every night. The conversation shifts to the NFL, where the halftime show broke viewership records despite some owners voicing displeasure, reinforcing the idea that the league can do no wrong as ratings and revenue keep climbing. They compare that success to the challenges facing other leagues, particularly MLB, where big-spending teams have a massive competitive advantage and low-budget teams like the Marlins face an uphill battle to win.

The guys discuss former Dolphins head coach Adam Gase landing an assistant job with the Chargers, where he'll join another former Dolphins coach, Mike McDaniel, in Los Angeles. That sparks a broader conversation about the biggest issues facing other leagues, including the NBA's overreliance on the three-point shot and the growing problem of star players not suiting up every night. They also point to MLB's financial imbalance, where big-market teams can outspend smaller clubs by a wide margin, creating a difficult path to competitiveness for teams with limited payrolls

In this edition of Hollywood's Headlines, the guys dive into rumors surrounding Alix Earle and Tom Brady as the speculation starts to heat up.

They also note Kurt Cignetti's national championship game headset going up for auction to benefit Indiana's NIL efforts, and Jordon Hudson drawing attention with a controversial shirt at a UNC basketball game.

The guys react to the Heat losing to a struggling Jazz team that's clearly trying to tank, even pulling starters in the fourth quarter, and use it to highlight bigger issues in the NBA.

The conversation shifts to the league's core problem of too many games, noting it will never change because of the money involved. They also give some credit to the Marlins for fighting to stay around .500 last season despite limited financial flexibility

Hour 1 opens with the Seahawks winning Super Bowl 60 behind a suffocating defensive performance that overwhelmed the Patriots from the start, as Seattle's front proved far too much for rookie left tackle Will Campbell and a shaky Drake Maye. The guys break down an ugly, punt-filled game that was never really close, why Seattle's tougher path had them more prepared, and why Minnesota may regret letting Sam Darnold walk. They also give credit to the Patriots' defense for keeping New England within striking distance despite the lopsided feel. The conversation shifts to college football with talk of bowl games losing relevance, a potential 16-team playoff, praise for elite Miami recruit Jackson Cantwell, and Joe wraps it up with stories from a wedding weekend that was fun—but rough on the body.

Hour 2 kicks off with Joe laying out his stance on Tua, saying the Dolphins can't bring him back next season and their only real options are to cut or trade him while paying part of his salary. The guys note the new GM will ultimately make the call and take accountability for the team's direction, while also referencing Leroy's opinion that Tua should compete for the starting job—though Joe insists the quarterback needs a fresh start elsewhere.

They also break down the Super Bowl halftime show, giving props to Bad Bunny's production while acknowledging mixed reactions from fans, and reflect on the underwhelming game itself, including a brief discussion of the commercials.

Mario Cristobal joins the show to discuss the Miami Hurricanes' roster and offseason, including efforts to retain key players and pursue top talent like Duke QB Darian Mensah and WR Cooper Barkate through the transfer portal. He talks about adding pass rusher Damon Wilson, the depth in the running back room, and Mark Fletcher's decision to return for another season, emphasizing that the Canes have unfinished business. Mario also highlights the program's momentum at an all-time high, shares how he and the staff study other teams' offseason strategies after long postseason runs, and discusses adapting to Sports Science and the new era of technology in college football.

The conversation also touches briefly on college sports, including both the Hurricanes and the Gators

The guys celebrate Sam Darnold's feel‑good Super Bowl 60 victory, highlighting the adversity he overcame to finally win a title. Seattle's defense stifled the Patriots all game, while the Seahawks relied on five field goals, the longest from 41 yards, as their offense struggled to reach the end zone. Rookie QB Drake Maye and Patriots left tackle Will Campbell face heavy criticism after tough performances, and Jets and Vikings fans are feeling the sting of seeing Darnold succeed where they couldn't. The conversation turns to the Dolphins, with fans largely agreeing that Tua needs a fresh start—whether it's being cut, traded with Miami covering most of his salary, or an unlikely overpaid return to compete for the starting job. The segment even draws a comparison to how it would feel if Tua led another team to a Super Bowl next season.

The Seahawks win Super Bowl 60 behind a dominant defensive performance that overwhelmed the Patriots from the opening snap. Seattle's front proved far too much for rookie Will Campbell and the New England offense, with Drake Maye looking timid on the biggest stage. WePatriots' favorable path to the game. The guys discuss how Seattle's much tougher road to the Super Bowl had them ready for the moment, why even the Rams likely would've handled New England with ease, and still give respect to the Patriots for their season despite the lopsided result.

The guys react to Seattle's defensive dominance in Super Bowl 60 and argue that Minnesota clearly made a mistake moving on from Sam Darnold. While the Patriots' defense held strong and kept the Seahawks out of the end zone for much of the night, Seattle still controlled the game from start to finish. They note it wasn't an all-time classic Super Bowl, but that won't matter to the champs. The conversation shifts to college football, where bowl games continue to lose relevance and the College Football Playoff could soon expand to 16 teams with a new format. Joe also praises Miami's elite left tackle recruit Jackson Cantwell, saying he reminds him of Francis Mauigoa, and wraps the segment with a recap of a wedding weekend that was a great time—but a little tougher on the body than it used to be.

In this edition of Hollywood's Headlines, the guys break down the NBA Dunk Contest, which features a few players that most fans have never even heard of. They dive into the rising cost of sports streaming, including MLB.tv's pricey new setup for Marlins games, and how stacking multiple services is making it harder for fans to follow their teams. College basketball drama is also on the agenda, as Duke's head coach criticizes court-storming after UNC's win over Duke, citing player and staff safety, and Jordon Hudson draws attention with a controversial shirt at the same game.

Joe makes it clear he believes the Dolphins cannot bring Tua back next season, arguing the team's only real options are to cut him or trade him while eating part of his salary. He notes the final decision will rest with the new GM, who he expects to take full accountability for the franchise's direction. The guys reference Leroy's previously stated opinion that Tua should be kept and allowed to compete for the starting job in training camp, but Joe pushes back, saying Tua needs a fresh start elsewhere. They also circle back to Super Bowl 60, calling it a bit of a dud, pointing out how New England was outcoached and outplayed, and suggesting even Denver would've put up a better fight.
