Show notes

Hour 2 opens with a heated debate over the expansion of NCAA March Madness to 76 teams, as Joe argues that moves like this—and the College Football Playoff growing to 12 teams—are driven more by TV money than improving the fan experience, while also pointing to trends in the NFL like a potential 18th game. The conversation shifts to controversy as Le'Veon Bell makes shocking claims about Adam Gase, sparking a discussion about their feud and reflections on coaching culture compared to legends like Don Shula. Joe then touches on the business side of sports, from massive money in college athletics and recruiting battles to major events coming to Miami, before diving into a loaded “Hollywood’s Headlines” featuring standout performances from Joel Embiid, continued dominance from LeBron James, and intrigue surrounding the Los Angeles Rams. The hour wraps with a mix of NBA playoff drama, front office storylines, and a bizarre viral moment involving a Delta Air Lines flight out of Miami.
