Show notes

Michelle Kaufman joins the show to break down the growing tension between Inter Miami supporter groups and star player Lionel Messi after fans staged a silent protest during a recent home match. Kaufman explains that “La Familia,” the club’s passionate supporter base, grew frustrated after multiple games without player acknowledgment, leading to an eerily quiet stadium atmosphere and a coordinated protest that included altered chants directed at the team late in the game. She emphasizes that these are diehard fans who were there before Messi arrived and will remain long after he leaves, highlighting how significant the disconnect has become. The segment also touches on Messi’s unusual distance from the local media, having not spoken to reporters in three years, which is rare compared to other global stars who regularly face the press win or lose. Later in the hour, Joe Rose joins from California to discuss the NFL’s schedule release and league-wide storylines, including Dolphins Week 1 at the Raiders, Miami’s focus on player development under the new regime, the importance of Malik Willis’ growth, and the De’Von Achane extension, while also weighing in on Aaron Rodgers returning to the Steelers, the NBA Conference Finals, and the broader outlook for the Dolphins and Hurricanes.
