NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline joins to break down this year's quarterback class, noting that few QBs impress him outside of Fernando Mendoza, who is widely expected to go No. 1 overall. He shares his predictions for top prospects, including Rueben Bain as a likely top-10 pick and Akheem Mesidor as a late first-round or early second-round selection. Pauline also weighs in on Francis Mauigoa's draft status, noting he could fall to the Dolphins at pick 11, and discusses the depth at wide receiver. He highlights the defensive front seven as the strength of this year's draft class.
Hour 3 features NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline breaking down this year's quarterback class, highlighting Fernando Mendoza as the only QB who truly impresses him and projecting Rueben Bain and Francis Mauigoa as top picks. The conversation shifts to the Hall of Fame controversy, with Robert Kraft left off the ballot following Bill Belichick's snub, and Joe examines the complicated dynamic between Kraft and Belichick that shaped the Patriots' two decades of success.

The crew debates the Dolphins' draft hopes, especially if Rueben Bain or Francis Mauigoa fall to pick 11, while also breaking down Kel'el Ware's true value amid Heat trade buzz and Giannis potentially viewing Miami as an attractive landing spot. The conversation shifts to the struggling Panthers missing Aleksander Barkov as players prepare for the Olympics, and returns to the Dolphins' quarterback uncertainty, with a thin QB draft class and college players now earning big NIL money complicating the hunt for a franchise passer.

The Southeastern 16 crew previews and predicts an outcome on the College Football Championship game, featuring Indiana traveling to Miami. Topics include: The Hoosiers have been unstoppable and have gotten stronger in the Playoffs. Miami's defense has been its calling card with Rueben Bain and company. Can the Hurricanes get to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza? The Hurricanes have also controlled the tempo through Mark Fletcher and the running game, holding the ball for 41 minutes in the win over Ole Miss. Miami's Carson Beck will be tested against an Indiana defense loaded with talent, and one that scored a pick-6 from D'Angelo Ponds against Oregon last week. Indiana's defense is elite, but the Hurricanes should be good for a big play or two thanks to Malachi Toney, who's explosive and never drops a pass. Indiana's special teams are elite. The Hoosiers have missed one kick all season and blocked a punt vs. Oregon. You won't believe the ticket prices! It's Miami's home field, but will Hurricane fans be out-numbered by Hoosiers?

It was another rivalry clash, and possibly the last regular-season meeting, between the Miami Hurricanes and Florida Gators. Was it a pretty game? No. But Miami's defense was pretty freaking good, allowing not one Gator conversion on third down. What happened to the offense? Was it Shannon Dawson? Was it Carson Beck? Was it Mario Cristobal? Was it the Florida Defense? We answer that question. In segment two, the boys tackle a few topics. They talk about Rueben Bain and Anez Cooper's post-game antics. They tackle the now-crazy expectations of Miami and the love they are getting from the national media. We ask an important question: Do Clemson fans know that Clemson is Clemsoning once again?

Tobin and Brittney dive into the standout plays, key performances, and game-changing moments — including CJ Daniels' jaw-dropping catch (Catch of the Year?!), and the breakout of 17-year-old Malachi Toney. Brittney was boots on the ground and has the voice to prove it! Plus, we open the phone lines to hear from hyped-up Canes fans and dish out plenty of well-deserved shade to the refs.

The conversation around the 2025 college football season has centered on a few players — mostly new starting quarterbacks — but there are plenty of potentially great players we're not talking about. Today, they're in the spotlight.(0:00-0:59) Intro(1:00-9:22) Players we're not talking about: Ryan Wingo, Cam Coleman(9:23-11:50) Story Time(11:51-17:23) Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed(17:24-24:36) How good can Oregon be this year?(24:37-31:38) Miami's Outlook, Rueben Bain Jr.(31:39-35:10) Jadan Baugh at Florida(35:11-36:18) Nic Anderson, LSU(36:19-39:42) Max Klare at Ohio State(39:43-40:55) Where does JP Pickles play?(40:56-44:03) Dylan Raiola at Nebraska(44:04-45:43) Who do we talk about the most?(45:44-46:11) Conclusion: Happy Memorial Day! Ari believes Auburn receiver Cam Coleman could be a breakout star. He also thinks Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain could be a force now that he's fully healthy. Andy thinks Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed has been lost in the shuffle with all the talk about new starting QBs in the SEC. Reed will be the leader of Team Chaos, so he could play a very important role this season. Andy and Ari agree that Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman is a huge key to the Ducks' portal reload.
