The Joe Rose Show

Joe breaks down the ongoing swirl of rumors surrounding Mike Vrabel and alleged infidelity, as more so-called “private investigator”-style photos continue to surface online. He discusses the potential fallout both professionally and personally, questioning whether the situation could cost Vrabel his role with the New England Patriots or impact his marriage. Despite the growing speculation, Joe ultimately believes Vrabel will remain the Patriots’ head coach next season.

Joe opens the show breaking down the Dolphins’ draft, as the front office stands firm in its decisions despite heavy outside criticism—highlighting a much larger draft class than Miami has carried in recent years while acknowledging that every team is getting second-guessed. NFL analyst Charles Davis joins to react to Miami taking Kadyn Proctor over Rueben Bain, saying he expected Proctor to land with Detroit and discussing how he’ll likely start at guard before moving to tackle, along with thoughts on Chris Johnson, the Rams’ surprise pick of Ty Simpson, and the massive growth of the NFL Draft as an event. The conversation continues around the NFL and college football landscape before shifting into a broader discussion on gambling in sports after the news of Brendan Sorsby transferring following an illegal gambling scandal, with comparisons to Terry Rozier’s situation and past cases like Pete Rose. The show also touches on the Heat’s long-term direction under Pat Riley and what it would mean if Miami ever moved on from him after 31 years, keeping a focus on the franchise’s refusal to tank and commitment to Bam Adebayo.

Hour 1 kicks off with Joe breaking down the Dolphins’ draft, as critics take aim but the front office stands firm in its decisions—highlighting a larger class than in recent years. NFL analyst Charles Davis joins to react, sharing his surprise at the Kadyn Proctor pick, discussing the Dolphins passing on Rueben Bain, and weighing in on other first-round storylines across the league. The guys also touch on the Marlins’ tough loss to the Dodgers before diving into a fun debate sparked by a high school team choosing prom over a playoff game. Joe and Hollywood reflect on their own experiences and argue the real question: prom night or postseason—what’s the right call?

Hour 2 opens with Joe reacting to Pat Riley’s end-of-season press conference, where Riley doubles down on building around Bam Adebayo, shuts down any retirement talk, and challenges Erik Spoelstra to fully commit to—or move on from—the Bam and Kel’el Ware pairing. Joe and Hollywood debate whether Bam can realistically be the centerpiece of a championship team while also breaking down key NBA playoff matchups heating up around the league. Joe remains firm that the Heat should not move on from Bam under any circumstances. Later, Dave Hyde joins to react to Riley’s comments, discuss Miami’s refusal to tank, and weigh in on the need to add a star this offseason without trading Bam, before shifting to the Dolphins’ draft decision to pass on Rueben Bain for Kadyn Proctor. The hour wraps with Hollywood’s Headlines.

Hour 3 continues with Kyle Crabbs joining the show to break down the Dolphins’ draft, starting with Miami’s decision to take Kadyn Proctor over Rueben Bain and what it means for both the offensive line and Chop Robinson’s development after the team passed on another pass rusher. Crabbs discusses Proctor’s weight concerns, where he’ll likely play to start the season, and evaluates the rest of Miami’s class, including linebackers Jacob Rodriguez and Kyle Louis, wide receiver Caleb Douglas, blocking tight end Will Kacmarek. The hour also features Joe considering joining a 55-and-over tennis league, the Marlins dropping another game to the Dodgers, and a heated debate sparked by West Nassau High School players choosing prom over a playoff game in a 12-1 loss. The guys also react to a report about Proctor’s massive appetite at Alabama, which reignites the conversation around his weight concerns and Joe’s hope that he develops into a long-term piece for the Dolphins.
