The segment opens with a look at the Panthers heating up as the Winter Olympics approach, with several Panthers expected to play on the international stage. Joe then calls for more lineup consistency, arguing Kelel Ware should be starting, while Dave draws a comparison to Hassan Whiteside. The conversation shifts back to the Dolphins, where Joe questions Zach Wilson's standing after being passed over by both Sean Payton and Mike McDaniel in favor of rookie Quinn Ewers. The segment wraps with Joe admitting uncertainty over what a healthy GM–head coach relationship should look like in today's NFL

Joe opens the show fed up with Tua Tagovailoa, criticizing his play, his press conferences, and questioning whether the Dolphins truly know who they are at the top of the organization. The hour lightens up with some off-the-field humor as Joe admits to not knowing his kids' birthdays and dives into his ongoing gift-giving dilemma, noting why shopping for guys is always easier. The focus then shifts to college football, where Texas A&M's trash talk of Bain backfires in a tense, high-stakes showdown with Miami. The hour wraps with praise for Hurricanes leadership, Francis Mauigoa's dominant performance, a suffocating Canes defense, and a lingering question about the Dolphins' long-term vision.

Joe admits to a classic dad fail as he confesses he doesn't know his kids' birthdays, leading into a broader discussion about his ongoing gift-giving dilemma and how tough it is to shop for his wife compared to guys. The conversation then shifts to the Canes, where the crew reacts to Texas A&M's decision to talk trash about Bain and why it proved to be a major mistake. They wrap by revisiting the Miami–A&M matchup, breaking down just how tense the game felt with every single play carrying massive weight.

The crew opens with praise for University of Miami president Joe Echevarria, highlighting his hands-on leadership and the role it has played in the Hurricanes' football resurgence. They also spotlight right tackle Francis Mauigoa for his dominant performance against Texas A&M, shutting down the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, while giving credit to a Canes defense that stifled the Aggies all night. The segment wraps by pivoting back to the Dolphins, raising the big-picture question of what the organization's true vision is moving forward.

Joe admits he's not much of a romantic as he and Dave scramble to figure out Christmas gifts, before the conversation turns serious with the Dolphins' murky future. The guys question whether Miami will hire from within by sticking with Champ Kelly and debate if Mike McDaniel should return amid mounting uncertainty. With no true franchise quarterback in 25 years, Joe argues the Dolphins should go all-in on a rookie QB, while Dave pushes back on whether they have the draft capital to move up. The segment wraps with criticism of the organization's lack of accountability and concerns about staggered timelines if a new GM is brought in while the head coach stays put.

The hour kicks off with some holiday humor as Joe admits he's not much of a romantic while he and Dave scramble to find Christmas gifts, before turning to the serious business of the Dolphins' murky future. The guys debate whether Miami will promote from within by keeping Champ Kelly, discuss Mike McDaniel's job security, and weigh the need to go all-in on a rookie quarterback despite limited draft capital. Conversation shifts to the Panthers, who are heating up with the Winter Olympics around the corner, while Joe and Dave debate Kelel Ware's role and draw comparisons to Hassan Whiteside. Back on the Dolphins, Joe questions Zach Wilson's talent evaluation after being passed over by Sean Payton and Mike McDaniel, and admits he's unsure what a healthy GM–head coach relationship should look like. The hour wraps highlighting Miami's ongoing dysfunction and leadership struggles.

Chris Perkins joins to break down the Miami Dolphins' offseason outlook, including potential Pro Bowl candidates like De'Von Achane, Jordyn Brooks, Aaron Brewer, and Jake Bailey. The conversation dives into Mike McDaniel's job security, with Perkins questioning how the Dolphins can keep their head coach after firing GM Chris Grier and benching Tua Tagovailoa. Perkins praises Grier for assembling the best roster Miami's had in 25 years, while Dave Hyde disagrees, calling Grier the team's biggest problem. The discussion also covers Brandon Shore's role in salary cap management, Champ Kelly's potential return, and Perkins' take that the Dolphins should prioritize building a strong roster—especially in the trenches—over chasing a rookie quarterback in the draft.

In the final show before Christmas, the power hour starts with a recap from a thrilling come-from-behind victory for the Patriots in Baltimore against the Ravens. Reliving the big moments from that game and how the team along with Drake Maye checked all the boxes that needed to be checked. Then, John Harbaugh also gets some credit in that victory for sitting Derrick Henry in the most crucial time for the Ravens after dominating the Pats' defense. And, at least the Red Sox are doing something by trading for Willson Contreras and not just sitting on their hands.

Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal joins the show after his team's massive win over Texas A&M, setting them up for a showdown with Ohio State in the quarterfinals. Cristobal discusses how the Canes' control of the line of scrimmage and the impact of tough conditions—especially the wind—shaped the game. He emphasizes the importance of recruiting homegrown talent like Bain, Fletcher, and Toney, who helped lead Miami to its first playoff win in program history. With a national championship still the ultimate goal, Cristobal acknowledges the strong support from alumni and looks ahead to the exciting matchup with Ohio State, the defending champs.

We dive into the growing frustration surrounding the Miami Dolphins. Joe discusses how the team's performance has been disappointing, especially in the third quarter, and his confusion about whether any meaningful adjustments are being made at halftime. He touches on the Tua Tagovailoa situation, expressing concern over his future with the team and the current lack of leadership. Joe also compares the Dolphins' situation to other top-tier teams, highlighting how far they seem from contenders like the Bills and Patriots. The conversation also explores how Dolphins fans, media, and analysts are increasingly turning against head coach Mike McDaniel, questioning both his and Tua's future in Miami. Joe ultimately calls for change, stressing the need for a franchise QB and the dismissal of both McDaniel and Tua to reset the team's direction.

The Miami Hurricanes secure a gritty win over Texas A&M, with freshmen Malachi Toney and Bryce Fitzgerald making key game-winning plays. Coach Mario Cristobal talks about the team's growth and their homegrown talent, including Toney, Bain, and Fletcher. Now, Miami sets its sights on Ohio State in the Quarterfinals, with Cristobal looking ahead to the matchup against the defending champs. Plus, the Dolphins' tough loss to the Bengals.

Hour 2 includes Joe airing out his frustrations with the state of the Miami Dolphins after getting blown out by the Bengals at home in rookie QBs Quinn Ewers first start. Joe thinks the next move is a complete rebuild for the Fins cleaning out coach Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa. Then Joe takes a look around the NFL after a loaded weekend of football. Plus, Hollywood's Headlines includes fallout from the Paul/Joshua fight, G5 CFP teams losing big, and an update on Jamie's love life.

Omar Kelly joins after the Dolphins get crushed by the Bengals, calling the current state of the franchise a “poop show” and suggesting the organization is bracing for real change. Omar says Miami was surprised by the decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa, even while admitting his play had been bad, and questions whether anything improves if Mike McDaniel returns for another year. The guys react to another disastrous third quarter and debate why the Dolphins continue to struggle to find a clear vision at quarterback. The hour wraps with a shift to college football, as the crew recaps Miami's gritty win over Texas A&M and praises Corey Hetherman, Mark Fletcher, Malachi Toney, and a Hurricanes defense that stood tall to seal it.

In hour 4, we tackle the Dolphins' crushing loss to the Bengals and the future of the team's quarterback position. Joe breaks down how aggressive Miami should be this offseason in pursuing a new QB, whether through the draft or free agency, and stresses the importance of finding someone with true franchise leadership. He also hopes the Dolphins will get Dan Marino's input on their next QB decision. Then, we shift gears to the Canes as they prepare for Ohio State, discussing the "rust vs. rest" dilemma with the Buckeyes having three weeks off before their rematch of the infamous 2002 National Championship. Can Miami pull off an upset?

Hollywood's Headlines includes Anthony Joshua knocking out Jake Paul in the sixth round of their highly anticipated boxing match, with the fight taking place in a larger ring that gave Paul more space to maneuver. Over in college football, five teams, including JMU and Tulane, are crushed in the first round of the playoffs. Meanwhile, Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf faces trouble after punching a fan during the Lions/Steelers game. On a lighter note, four Michael Jordan career debut tickets recently sold for big money, and we get an update on Jamie's swipe life—how's it going on the dating apps?

The Miami Hurricanes secure a gritty win over Texas A&M in a hard-fought slugfest, with two freshmen stepping up in the clutch. Wide receiver Malachi Toney catches the game-winning touchdown, while safety Bryce Fitzgerald seals the victory with a pivotal interception. Cristobal praises this as the best Miami team in 23 years as the Canes now prepare to face Ohio State in the Quarterfinals.

Omar Kelly joins the show to break down the growing uncertainty surrounding the Miami Dolphins. Omar believes the organization is bracing for significant change and was caught off guard by the decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa, even while acknowledging that Tua's on-field play had been poor. He bluntly labels the current state of the Dolphins a “poop show,” pointing to a long history of half-measures and indecision. Omar also questions whether things can truly improve if Mike McDaniel returns for another season, arguing that the Dolphins' long-term vision remains as unclear as ever.

The Dolphins get crushed by the Bengals, raising serious questions about their future at quarterback. Joe discusses how aggressive Miami should be this offseason in pursuing a new QB, possibly through the draft. He emphasizes the need for a quarterback with the right leadership and personality to turn the team around and even hopes the Dolphins will get Dan Marino's blessing when choosing their next QB.

The crew recaps Miami's hard-fought win over Texas A&M, highlighting strong performances on both sides of the ball. Praise is given to the Hurricanes' coaching staff, especially defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, for a game plan that delivered when it mattered most. On offense, Mark Fletcher and Malachi Toney earn standout recognition, with Fletcher's leadership shining through as he picked up Toney after an early fumble. Toney responded in the biggest moment, scoring the game-winning touchdown. The segment closes with the Canes' defense standing tall on the final drive, stopping Texas A&M to seal the victory.

Most dads step into their son's baseball journey believing they need to fix, protect, analyze, and carry the weight of every result. It comes from love — but it often creates the exact pressure, resentment, and distance they're trying to avoid. In this solo episode of The Most Valuable Agent, MLB agent Matt Hannaford reframes one of the most misunderstood roles in youth baseball: the role of the father. Your son doesn't need you to be the hero of his story. He needs you to be the guide. Matt breaks down why trying to "save" your son from failure actually limits his growth, how constant instruction creates dependence instead of confidence, and why the car ride home becomes the most damaging moment in a young player's experience. You'll learn how to shift from control to clarity, from pressure to trust, and from performance-based approval to the kind of support that allows young players to grow — not just as athletes, but as men. If you're a dad who wants to stay involved without damaging the relationship or the development process, this episode will change how you show up. Subscribe for weekly guidance on navigating youth baseball, parenting, and player development with clarity, truth, and strategy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why your son — not you — must be the hero of his baseball journey • How dads unintentionally create pressure by trying to "help" too much • The difference between being the hero and being the guide • Why constant instruction kills confidence and ownership • How to communicate support without controlling outcomes • What questions build trust instead of resentment • Why the car ride home is the most dangerous moment for relationships • How approval tied to performance damages long-term growth • What happens when dads step into the guide role instead • How this shift impacts your son far beyond baseball KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR DADS Your son must carry the challenge — that's how growth happens. Your power as a father doesn't come from control; it comes from clarity and trust. Your words, tone, and presence either build safety or create fear. When you guide instead of manage, your son plays freer, communicates more, and grows faster. ABOUT MATT HANNAFORD Matt Hannaford is a 25-year MLB agent and founder of Aligned Sports. He has represented Hall of Famers, negotiated landmark contracts, and now helps families navigate youth baseball, recruiting, and development with clarity, honesty, and long-term perspective.

Three point stance features The Red Sox making more offseason moves and trading for Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras and the uprising of rookie Hugo Gonzalez for the Celtics

The Reds won the World Series 50 years ago in a classic highlighted by the amazing game six eventually won by the Red Sox on the foul-pole hitting HR by Carlton Fisk in the 12th inning. Prior to that, legend has it that Pete Rose said to Fisk  "Man, isn't this the most exciting game you've ever played in?”. Rose had a knack for being in the moment and enjoying this game called baseball more than maybe any player that ever lived. And Sports Illustrated rewarded him at the end of the year by naming him “Sportsman of the Year”. Rose was at the top of his game, beloved by not only fans of the Big Red Machine, but baseball fans everywhere. His popularity transcended the game, as he was an everyday man, who played the game the right way. His work ethic and daily grind were legendary and he resonated with a great amount of folks whose lives were built around that same dedication to whatever their profession was. He was the working mans idol. Everyone could relate to this kid who was born on the wrong side of Cincinnati and was now the king of the town.  A 44-game hitting streak in 1978 captured the attention of the nation before he left Cincy for Philly the following year, helping the Phils win a World Series in 1980… the 3rd and final championship of his career. He returned to the Reds as a player manager and in 1985 became the the game's all-time leader in hits before retiring as a player a year later with a still record of 4,256 knocks. And then it all came crumbling down. Keith O'Brien is also a kid from Cincinnati who grew up watching Rose in his latter years  and chronicled his entire life in his bestselling book, “Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball.” It goes into great detail about Rose's humble beginnings, how he got the nickname Charlie Hustle from two of the game's greats, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford, and how his prowess as one of the greatest players of all-time made him one of the game's most popular players of the 20th century. But O'Brien also did countless research into Rose's gambling addiction, the people that he associated with and the eventual suspension and expulsion from baseball. He joins us on POP to discuss at length in great passion how this man of the people who was adored by legions of fans everywhere would fall from grace, and end up on the outside of the Hall of Fame looking in… literally. It's a tragic tale of the American Dream going awry. A kid who had nothing but grit and determination turns himself into one of the greatest ballplayers of all-time, only to let his addiction to betting… and betting on the game he lived for...keep him away from the thing he loved most… baseball. Join us as we look back on the year Rose was at this top his game… 1975… and the decline that would take place a decade later as we talk with Keith O'Brien to discuss his book, “Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose and the Last Glory Days of Baseball,” on the Past Our Prime podcast.
