The Joe Rose Show

Hour 1 kicks off with Joe and Hollywood recapping their live broadcast from University of Miami football practice, where rain didn’t slow down a focused session and even the university president was in attendance watching closely. The guys break down a loaded Hurricanes roster, highlighting high-upside talent along the offensive line and praising the continued impact of defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman on the program. Hetherman later joins the show to discuss the growth of the defense, giving strong praise to Akheem Mesidor and Rueben Bain while emphasizing how key contributors have stepped into bigger roles and embraced a “next man up” mentality. The hour also touches on the Heat’s loss to the Raptors, a look ahead at The Masters in Augusta, and a quick roundup of the Marlins splitting their series with the Reds as they head to Detroit, along with the injury-riddled stretch the Panthers are trying to finish.

Hour 2 kicks off with the Miami Heat once again heading to the NBA Play-In Tournament for the fourth straight season, sparking frustration over whether the franchise is stuck in mediocrity and needs a major shakeup. The conversation also turns to how difficult it has become to watch sports today, with the rise of multiple streaming services making the NBA, NFL, and other leagues harder to follow, as Joe jokes he somehow ends up with every platform thanks to his daughters. Dave Mack then joins from the Cadillac Championship at Doral to preview the event, highlighting Friday night fireworks with DJ Irie, food vendors, and the full fan experience while also jumping into NFL Draft talk.
