Weekly sports talk with a South Florida bias from Alex, Jake, and Jason.
Just when we thought the NFL Conference Championship games would be the talk of the week, Tom Brady announced his retirement from football. If that wasn't enough, Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL alleging racism in hiring and firing practices around the league. Despite decades of mediocrity, the Dolphins seem to find a way to find themselves in the headlines.
The NFL Divisional Round proved to be the wildest football weekend of all time. The Miami Heat are top dogs in the Eastern Conference, but you wouldn't know that from watching ESPN.
Brian Flores is no longer the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, and we don't know what to make of the reports and rumors regarding his coaching style and relationship with players/staff. The future of the Dolphins is once again draped in uncertainty.
The Dolphins season came to a disappointing case, as is usually the case. Antonio Brown gave everyone something to talk about. The Miami Heat also brought back a legend on a 10 day contract.
The Miami Dolphins actually made us proud by beating the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The Heat continue their strong start, but can they keep it up all season long? We also discuss the right time to put up and take down a Christmas tree.
The Dolphins finally snap their 7 game losing streak ahead of what is very likely going to be a blowout on Thursday night. The Miami Heat lost their game against the Denver Nuggets, but they definitely would have won the brawl.
The Dolphins continue to suck, but thankfully the NBA is back to alleviate some of our misery. Kyrie Irving remains unvaccinated, and the Ben Simmons drama continues in Philly.
The title says it all. Also on the docket, Kyrie Irving is informed by the Nets that he cannot be a part of the team on a part-time basis, and DeyDey is about to become a big hockey fan.
It appears that the Dolphins suck once again. NBA season can't come soon enough. At least we have the Many Saints of Newark and Squid Games to distract us from our suffering.
Hard Seltzers are basically just fancy Olde English. We are not going to let the Dolphins fool us into thinking they are good. Kyrie Irving and other NBA players are refusing to take the vaccine.
The Miami Dolphins suck, but the vibes are so good.
Tailgate season is back, and it was raining pussy at Hard Rock Stadium this past weekend. Should you propose to your girlfriend after losing to Jacksonville State University?
Drake is back again with another banger in "Certified Lover Boy" and it is officially football season.
Jake Paul picked up another W in his fight against Tyron Woodley this past weekend which begs the question: is Jake Paul a legitimate boxer? Onlyfans decided they aren't going anywhere just yet, and former MVP Cam Newton is looking for a new team.
Only fans announces starting October 1st, they will be banning the content that made them big in the first place. The New Wave crew might have to do the milk crate challenge before the trend dies down.
With recent fan-player occurrences in the NBA, are we due for another "Malice at the Palace"? Professional athletes continue to fall victim to Instagram models, and NFL tailgates are about to be WILD this year.
The Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champs after an incredible season from Giannis Antetokounmpo. The NFL announced unvaccinated players could cost their teams games and their teammates money, and US Men's National Basketball team get ready for the Olympics in Tokyo starting next week.
Floyd Mayweather once again made a gazillion dollars while barely making a sweat. The Miami Heat may be eliminated, but the NBA Playoffs are ramping up. We also make a very bold - but also very early - prediction for NFL MVP.
We discuss whether the NBA Play In Tournament is a good or bad idea, as well as our thoughts on how the Heat will fair in the playoffs this year.
We crack open some Cacti and watch the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The rest of the league better watch out because Miami is coming.
After Nick Castellanos ejection and subsequent suspension for flexing on Jake Woodford, we discuss whether MLB would be more exciting if more players displayed this type of emotion.
The Miami Heat and Miami Dolphins have both been busy the last week. The Dolphins moved back up to number 6 overall after moving back to number 12, and will look to continue building the team through the draft. The Heat acquired Victor Oladipo and Nemanja Bjelica at the trade deadline, but will be enough to make a deep playoff push?
Drew Brees formally announced his retirement, the Miami Dolphins signed Jacoby Brissett, and the New Orleans Saints signed Taysom Hill to a deal that will make your eyes fall out of your head. In basketball, the Miami Heat have now won 11 of their last 12 and people are talking about Jimmy Butler as a possible MVP candidate.
The Miami Heat are finally back on track as we approach the halfway point of the season. JJ Watt passed up teams like the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers to join the Arizona Cardinals. And somehow we ended up discussing Michael Jordan's drinking habits.
The Tampa Buccaneers are Super Bowl Champions, and Tom Brady now has seven rings. We discuss whether his latest feat puts him above Michael Jordan as the GOAT of all GOATs. We also talk about whether the Heat have reached a turning point, and what they have to do to get back into the playoff picture.
The Miami Heat's early season struggles continue, as they currently sit at number 13 in the Eastern Conference. We also recap the NFL's conference championship games, and look ahead to a Super Bowl that will feature the league's GOAT QB against the possible future GOAT.
Looks like we have another super team in Brooklyn, as James Harden reunites with his old teammate Kevin Durant. We discuss what the blockbuster trade means for all teams and players involved. We also get into the Heat and their covid issues, and recap the NFL Wild Card Weekend.
Even though the Miami Dolphins missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion, we discuss whether the season was a success and what we hope to see from Tua and the Fins next season. The Miami Heat debuted their "Vice Versa" uniforms, and we talk about the different lineups that Erik Spoelstra has put on the floor for the Heat.
The Miami Dolphins took a tough loss against the NFL's best Kansas City Chiefs, and we discuss whether it was a loss Dolphins fans could feel good about. The Miami Heat appear to be a serious contender to land James Harden, but what are they willing to give up to make the blockbuster trade happen?
After a hiatus, we are back with our 100th episode of New Wave Sports Radio. NBA season is just around the corner, the Dolphins are looking like real playoff contenders, and a former NBA player got knocked out by a YouTuber. Needless to say, episode 100 was a fun one.
After a debut that left a lot of people debating whether or not he was ready, Tua stepped up in his second start and led the Dolphins to a big win against the Cardinals. The NBA is officially set to restart December 22nd, and the draft is next week. We also talk about how Adam Gase still has a head coaching job in the NFL (sorry Jets fans).
A new era has begun, and we are not talking about in the White House. Tua Tagovailoa is officially the Dolphins starting QB, and his performance had a lot of people talking this week. There have also been some NBA rumors about a potential start date, and even a potential trade for the Miami Heat. We wrap this episode up by reminiscing on the great toilet paper run of 2020.
This Sunday is officially Tua time, and we discuss our hopes and dreams for the Dolphins rookie QB. We also talk about some other news from around the NFL including AB signing with the Bucs, and Odell Beckham's season ending injury.
It appears to be the end of the Fitzmagic era in Miami, as rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa was named the starter this week. Victor Oladipo seems to be more interested in the Heat than they are in him, and after a crazy season the Dodgers and Rays face off in the World Series.
After an incredible bubble and postseason run, the Miami Heat were defeated by the LA Lakers in the NBA Finals. We discuss the future of the Heat, as well as our thoughts on the Dolphins after they smoked the 49ers this past Sunday.
The Miami Heat are officially back in The Finals and will be facing the Los Angeles Lakers and former Heat player, LeBron James. We discuss the Heat's journey to The Finals, and what we think their chances of winning it all are. We also discuss the Marlins making the playoffs for the first time in 17 years, the Dolphins winning their first game of the season, and the Hurricanes hot start.
Of course we have to recap that wild Game 1 of the ECF which culminated with arguably one of the best blocks of all time by Bam Adebayo. We also discuss expectations for the rest of the NBA playoffs, as well as our thoughts on the Miami Dolphins and when we think Tua should start playing.
If you haven't already, be sure to check out Ep 090 where we interview former University of Miami wide receiver Ahmmon Richards. In this episode, we discuss the Heat's playoff run so far, our expectations for the second round after they took game 1 against the Bucks, and which other matchups we are most looking forward to.
We are joined this week by former Miami Hurricanes standout wide receiver, Ahmmon Richards. Ahmmon talks to us about his time at The University of Miami, life after football, and how he started Lgndary Sports All Pro, a full service sports agency that serves talent and their families. He also shares his thoughts on the upcoming college football season, and how it is being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We start of the episode with some MLB talk about the situation with Fernando Tatis Jr. and baseball's "unwritten rules", as well as different NFL team's plan for having fans in the stadiums this season. Then we get into the NBA Playoffs, as the Heat take care of business and BOTH eight seeds steal game 1. These NBA Playoffs could prove to be wild.
Things are heating up in the bubble and we will have the opportunity to see the first ever play-in game in NBA history. The Miami Marlins remain hot even after coming back from their quarantine. And a Seahawks player tried sneaking a woman into the team hotel by disguising her as another player.
For the first time in almost 5 months, we have some actual sports to talk about. The Miami Heat are doing their thing in the bubble, and the Miami Marlins have one of the best records in the MLB in August. It feels good to talk about some meaningful sporting events.
Basketball is officially back boys and girls, and we discuss what we liked from the Heat's scrimmage against the Kings this Thursday. We also share our thoughts on Dr. Fauci wearing a jersey with the number 19 while throwing out the first pitch of the MLB's opening game.
As the new NBA season draws closer and closer, we discuss some of the guys who have broken the Disney bubble, as well as some of the players' reactions to their accommodations. We also compare the protocols between the different leagues, and we slip in a little UFC talk right at the end.
Just two days after Joey Chestnut set the World Record for most hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes, Patrick Mahomes received a record breaking contract extension worth up to $503 million over 10 years. With the NBA and MLB scheduled to start back up this month, we wonder what the NFL's plans are for their upcoming season.
As much as it pains us to say it... the New England Patriots are officially back. After signing Cam Newton to a one year deal the Pats have once again become the team to beat in the AFC East. In better news, we are excited to be getting the NBA and MLB back this month, though we wonder whether these seasons should have an asterisk next to them in the record books.
On this episode we share our thoughts on all that has been going on in the world, both sports related and beyond, including the global protests that have been taking place. We also discuss some of the statements made by the biggest names in sports, including Roger Goodell, Michael Jordan, and Drew Brees, whose football career may end as abruptly as this episode did.
So it turns out Jordan lied, although that should not surprise anyone. While D-Wade is living his best life in retirement, LeBron and James Harden are looking like they need basketball ASAP (so do we).
DeVante Parker and Michael Thomas got into some internet beef, The Last Dance documentary had its Last Episode, and we can finally get haircuts again.
We are back after a couple weeks off, and we discuss Tua's new number, MJ's gambling addiction, and Dennis Rodman's 48 hours in Las Vegas.
