The Joe Rose Show

Hour 1 opens with reaction to one of the wildest games in NBA Finals history as the Knicks erase a 29-point deficit to stun the Spurs and take a commanding 3-1 series lead, capped by OG Anunoby’s game-winning tip-in at Madison Square Garden. The guys break down San Antonio’s second-half collapse, Charles Barkley calling the Spurs “the dumbest team in basketball,” De’Aaron Fox’s costly late-game mistake, and whether the young Spurs have any chance of extending the series. The conversation then shifts to the Dolphins rewarding center Aaron Brewer with a three-year extension, why Jordyn Brooks should be next in line for a new deal, and a debate over Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Dan Marino in the greatest quarterback conversation. Plus, the Marlins continue their hot streak with wins in seven of their last eight games as they look to complete a sweep of the Diamondbacks.

Hour 2 opens with reaction to the Knicks’ historic comeback win over the Spurs, as San Antonio’s second-half collapse is put under the microscope after costly late-game mistakes from De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama helped swing the series. The conversation then shifts to Texas Tech’s athletic department publicly addressing the Brendan Sorsby situation, with Joe pushing back on the school’s messaging and questioning how a star quarterback receiving millions in NIL money is being framed as being handled in the “best interest” of the program. The guys discuss the growing backlash across college football, schools threatening to remove Texas Tech from their schedules, and whether the program has put itself in an unwinnable PR position. Later, longtime South Florida sports columnist Dave Hyde joins the show following his Sun Sentinel departure after 36 years, reflecting on his career covering iconic teams like the ‘96 Panthers and the Big Three Heat, reacting to the Knicks’ massive Finals comeback, and discusses what’s next for his career.

Hour 3 opens with continued reaction to the Spurs’ stunning late-game collapse in Game 4, as Joe breaks down De’Aaron Fox’s critical mistake at the end of the game and whether San Antonio should have trusted Victor Wembanyama with the final possession instead. The guys scrutinize Fox’s veteran leadership, Wembanyama’s missed free throws, and the Spurs’ overall panic down the stretch, comparing the meltdown to historic collapses like the Falcons blowing a 28-3 Super Bowl lead, with Joe questioning whether this kind of loss can damage a young franchise long-term. The conversation then shifts to the Dolphins, who quietly extend Aaron Brewer and continue what’s been a drama-free offseason, before circling back to the ongoing Brendan Sorsby college football situation and its ripple effects. The hour wraps with a wide-ranging mix of sports and off-field storylines, including NBA Finals fallout, the Marlins’ strong play, Patrick Mahomes’ massive new contract extension, rumors involving Mike Vrabel, lighthearted relationship and “swingers” jokes, and global sports chatter as the World Cup begins with Joe picking Portugal while also discussing Team USA’s chances

Longtime South Florida columnist Dave Hyde joins the show after being laid off from the Sun Sentinel following a remarkable 36-year career. Hyde discusses the overwhelming support he has received since the news broke, reflects on some of his favorite memories covering South Florida sports, and explains why winning teams have always been good for business. He shares stories from covering the 1996 Panthers and compares following the Big Three Heat to covering The Beatles at the height of their fame. Hyde also reacts to the Knicks’ stunning 29-point comeback over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, arguing that New York’s experience is proving to be the difference in the series, while admitting that being let go after so many years was a jarring experience. He also makes it clear that while his time at the Sun Sentinel is over, his career is far from finished.

The Knicks pulled off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, erasing a 29-point deficit to stun the Spurs and take a commanding 3-1 series lead. New York capped the rally when OG Anunoby crashed the glass for a game-winning tip-in with just one second remaining, finishing off a remarkable comeback at a celebrity-filled Madison Square Garden. The guys break down the standout performances from Anunoby and Jalen Brunson, who carried the Knicks down the stretch, while also examining the costly mistakes that doomed San Antonio. From De’Aaron Fox’s late-game decision-making to the Spurs’ failure to box out on the final possession, the conversation centers on one of the most stunning collapses in Finals history—and why the bigger story is New York’s resilience in pulling off an all-time comeback.
