The Joe Rose Show

Tuesday's show includes Michigan winning the men’s basketball national championship with a starting lineup built entirely through the transfer portal, prompting Joe to discuss the growing role—and risks—of transfers in college basketball and football. The conversation then shifts to the Miami Dolphins, where Joe and Hollywood break down draft strategy, offseason moves, and roster construction under Jon Eric Sullivan, including debates over whether to trade picks, target a quarterback like Ty Simpson, and evaluate offensive line needs. Kyle Crabbs joins to weigh in on Dolphins draft outlook, offensive line outlook, and key free agent signings like Jalen Tolbert and Josh Uche, while Clayton McCullough discusses Marlins resilience, standout performers, and player development strategies. The show also touches on Troy Aikman’s role as a Dolphins consultant, early-season Marlins storylines, Dolphins first-day voluntary workouts, and Joe’s lighthearted takes on golf, bowling, and South Florida rainy days.

Hour 1 kicks off with Michigan capturing the national championship, powered by a roster built largely through the transfer portal, sparking a conversation about how critical the portal has become in both college basketball and football. The focus then shifts to the Dolphins, where Joe and Hollywood stress the importance of building through the draft under Jon Eric Sullivan, debating whether to trade picks and if taking a quarterback like Ty Simpson early makes sense—something Joe strongly opposes. The conversation also dives into Troy Aikman’s ongoing role with the Dolphins, his past criticism of Mike McDaniel and Tua, and whether McDaniel is better suited as a coordinator than a head coach. Plus, Joe connects the dots on Aikman’s Cowboys history, believing he sided with Jimmy Johnson over Jerry Jones, and looks ahead to The Masters.

Hour 2 kicks off with Michigan’s national championship run, highlighting how the roster was built largely through the transfer portal. Joe and Hollywood break down the importance of using the portal to build competitive teams in college basketball and football, while also noting the risks and the need to do thorough homework on incoming players. The conversation then shifts to the Dolphins, as Joe and Hollywood analyze Miami’s draft strategy, stressing the need to hit on picks with holes across the roster, including whether to draft a tight end despite re-signing Greg Dulcich, and touching on Chop Robinson trade rumors. The hour wraps with Hollywood’s Headlines, covering Shaquille O’Neal’s new dunking show, Artemis II astronauts reaching the farthest distance from Earth, a family discovering human fossils in Long Beach, Gracie Hunt’s engagement to Trent Green, Bill Belichick facing a lawsuit over an unsafe worksite, the upcoming Hulk Hogan documentary, and a new movie about the making of Rocky.

Hour 3 kicks off with Kyle Crabbs breaking down the Miami Dolphins’ draft outlook and offseason moves, including Troy Aikman’s role as a consultant and his presence in Miami for the draft. He evaluates the team’s draft strategy, predicts which positions like offensive line and pass rushers will go quickly, and discusses the Dolphins’ offensive line outlook for next season. Crabbs also weighs in on a potential Chop Robinson trade, reviews key free agent signings like Jalen Tolbert and Josh Uche, and gives his take on Ty Simpson, explaining why he may not be the best fit for Miami. The conversation then shifts to the Marlins, as manager Clayton McCullough discusses the team’s resilience in the Yankees series, praises standout performances from Sandy Alcántara, Xavier Edwards, and Liam Hicks, and addresses early-season struggles from Jacob Marsee. McCullough also explains the dynamic of calling pitches from the dugout and weighs in on the ABS challenging system, providing a look at player development and strategy in Marlins baseball.

Hour 4 opens with a look at Michigan winning the men’s basketball national championship, with the team’s entire starting five coming from the transfer portal, sparking a discussion on the growing importance—and risks—of using transfers to build winning rosters. The conversation then turns to South Florida, where rain keeps Joe indoors but the Dolphins arrive for their first day of voluntary offseason workouts. Joe revisits the alleged incidents of Dolphins players putting their hands on coaches, and pushes back against Omar’s claim that Miami’s party scene is a distraction for the team. The hour also dives into Miami’s draft strategy, evaluating the offensive outlook for next season, offseason free agent signings, roster roles, and what the Dolphins need to get right to make an impact in the coming year, with a quick aside on whether Tiger Woods might return to professional golf.
