The Joe Rose Show

On Friday, the guys cover the Dolphins’ quarterback conundrum, NBA All-Star Weekend and beyond. They debate Tua Tagovailoa’s future, including the possibility he could return next season or be moved, and discuss Miami’s interest in Malik Willis, big contracts, and building a core of young talent. Mike Florio joins to break down the trade market, Tua’s historically bad contract, NFL prediction markets, and the Raiders’ number one overall pick, while the crew also reacts to Trinidad Chambliss earning a sixth year of college eligibility. They touch on baseball news with Nick Castellanos being cut by the Phillies and reflect on Miguel Cabrera’s career, plus lighter moments like All-Star Weekend highlights, youth sports pressure, and NIL opportunities for high school athletes with Robert Bailey.

In Hour 1, Hollywood finds himself on the hot seat over his son’s rec basketball team, leading to a broader conversation about pressure in youth sports and a story from Joe about nearly losing his job after calling someone a “quack” on the air. The guys weigh in on NBA All-Star Weekend, questioning whether the game — and even the Pro Bowl — still matter, before diving deep into the Dolphins’ looming Tua decision following GM Jon-Eric Sullivan’s generic comments at a season ticket holder event. They debate whether Tua could land with the Chargers, how divided and vicious the fanbase has become, and why Stephen Ross ultimately has to sign off on any move. The hour also touches on the Phillies releasing Nick Castellanos, after reports of him bringing a beer into the dugout, and Trinidad Chambliss earning a sixth year of college eligibility.

In Hour 2, the guys question why NBA stars continue to avoid the Dunk Contest — with even past winner Mac McClung sitting it out — and make their picks for the 3-point contest while debating whether All-Star Weekend has lost its edge. They also discuss Trinidad Chambliss being granted a sixth year of eligibility and use Shedeur Sanders’ draft slide as a cautionary tale about hype versus reality. The conversation then shifts to the Dolphins, where Joe and Hollywood get heated over the possibility that Tua could be back next season and potentially battling Quinn Ewers for the starting job, strongly rejecting any comparisons to a Sam Darnold-type resurgence. Robert Bailey from Rosenhaus Sports joins to share his powerful story about mental health advocacy and weigh in on NIL opportunities for high school athletes

In Hour 3, Alain Poupart joins to break down the Dolphins’ offseason strategy, insisting it’s time to move on from Tua and examining the team’s interest in Malik Willis, including whether he’s a long-term solution or just a short-term band-aid. He also weighs in on Miami’s big contracts — Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb, and Minkah Fitzpatrick — while highlighting the promise of the team’s young talent and stressing that building a core and winning habits is more important than this season’s record. Joe and Hollywood joke about the stress of the Tua situation, reflect on Chris Grier’s efforts, and share lighter moments including Valentine’s plans and Jason Taylor posters. They also react to the Phillies cutting Nick Castellanos, revisiting the beer-in-the-dugout incident in Miami.

In Hour 4, the guys break down the Dolphins’ offseason plans, emphasizing the need to build through the draft despite tight cap space. They react to Trinidad Chambliss being granted a sixth year of eligibility and poke fun at the idea of G-League players in the Dunk Contest. Mike Florio joins to weigh in on Tua, calling his contract one of the worst in NFL history and explaining why Miami may have to attach a high draft pick to move him. He also shares his take on prediction markets in the NFL, Fernando Mendoza, and the possibility of the Raiders trading the number one overall pick, plus he gives his thoughts on the Super Bowl Bad Bunny halftime show.
