The Joe Rose Show

On Wednesday’s show, the guys break down the latest in Miami sports and beyond, starting with a debate over the Florida Panthers’ high-scoring win and whether it hurts their draft positioning while they sit outside the playoff picture. They shift to the Miami Dolphins, looking back at past missteps like the Josh Rosen trade, while sharing optimism about the new GM and head coach from Green Bay and how quickly they can turn the team around. Kyle Crabbs joins to discuss Tua, the Dolphins, and big NFL storylines. Miami Hurricanes spring practice gets major attention, including Darian Mensah leading the QB room, a stacked wide receiver group, and 5-star freshman Jackson Cantwell stepping into key reps. The show also covers Tua Tagovailoa’s recent comments, MLB action with opening day finally here, and Pete Fairbanks joining to discuss signing with Miami, returning from Tommy John surgeries, and adjusting to the new ABS system.

Hour 1 kicks off with the guys reacting to a high-scoring win from the Florida Panthers and debating whether winning could actually hurt their draft position as they sit outside the playoff picture. The focus shifts to the Miami Dolphins, including a look back at the failed Josh Rosen trade and frustration with past decisions under Chris Grier, while Joe Rose expresses optimism about the new regime from the Green Bay Packers. They also preview the quarterfinals at the Miami Open and reflect on being live at Miami Hurricanes spring practice, highlighting Mario Cristobal leadership and the program’s push to build off last year’s national championship run. The hour wraps with a deeper dive into Miami’s full reset, why this rebuild feels different, and how quickly the Dolphins can turn it around.

Hour 2 starts with the guys reacting to the energy around Miami Hurricanes spring practice, where a loaded roster and strong first day have sky-high expectations for another national championship push. They break down standout position groups, including the QB room led by Darian Mensah and a deep wide receiver unit featuring Joshua Moore, while also discussing how Miami will replace key NFL-bound talent and the impact of 5-star freshman Jackson Cantwell. The hour also includes a quick check-in on the Miami Open and some reaction to Tua Tagovailoa recent comments. Plus, “Hollywood’s Headlines” covers the record-setting NCAA March Madness ratings, a new ESPN golf series, and some wild off-the-field stories.

Hour 3 kicks off with Kyle Crabbs joining to break down Tua Tagovailoa’s comments calling out the Miami Dolphins, with Joe Rose firing back. Crabbs reflects on Tua’s controversial press conferences from last season and dives into the top quarterback prospects for the NFL Draft, including Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, trade rumors around Jordyn Brooks, the work Jon-Eric Sullivan has done so far, and Zach Wilson signing with the New Orleans Saints. The hour continues with Pete Fairbanks, closing pitcher for the Miami Marlins, discussing why he signed with Miami, his excitement for the pitching staff, and lessons from his time with the Tampa Bay Rays. Fairbanks also opens up about the pressures of being a closer, returning from two Tommy John surgeries, his authentic approach to postgame pressers, and how he plans to handle the new ABS system moving forward.

Hour 4 opens with Joe, Hollywood, and Jamie discussing the open UNC basketball job, debating whether Todd Golden from Florida or Jai Lucas from Miami could be candidates. The conversation then turns to Tua Tagovailoa’s comments about staying off social media, with Joe pushing back and noting that Tua definitely sees and hears what’s being said about him. They also caution fans not to put too much stock into mock drafts from so-called “experts.” The guys touch on ongoing action at the Miami Open, including some of the biggest matchups, and preview MLB action with the Yankees facing the Giants. Finally, they reflect on being out at Miami Hurricanes spring practice, where QB Darian Mensah is impressing and the team looks like a well-oiled machine.
