On today’s show, we dive into all things ahead of a big weekend of football. We recap Thursday Night Football, including the Falcons’ dramatic 29–28 win and update high school playoff action, before breaking down Miami’s Monday Night matchup with the Steelers, where the Dolphins’ running game, defense, and coaching could make all the difference. Dolphins writer Alain Poupart joins to highlight key players like Devon Achane, rookie Jonah Savaiinaea, and leader Jordyn Brooks, while Joe and the crew discuss Tua Tagovailoa’s performance and Miami’s defensive turnaround. We also look around the NFL, including the Colts’ surprising signing of Phillip Rivers, and catch up on the latest college football storylines, including the Sherrone Moore situation at Michigan and Notre Dame’s College Football Playoff outlook. Plus, Joe shares his NFL picks and Hollywood runs through today’s top sports headlines.

Hour 1 opens with a breakdown of Thursday Night Football, where the Falcons pulled off a 29–28 win behind a big night from Kyle Pitts while the Buccaneers continued to look out of sync. We check in on the latest high school football playoff action before turning to Dolphins–Steelers on Monday Night Football, where Miami will face cold weather, a loud Pittsburgh crowd, and a major opportunity. With the Dolphins’ formula of a strong run game and solid offensive line finally clicking — and the Steelers boasting one of the league’s weakest defenses — Miami has a chance to take a big step forward and silence long-running narratives about cold-weather and big-game struggles. We wrap with some pickleball drama and a trip around the NFL, including the Falcons’ penalty-filled TNF win, Tampa Bay’s slide, tough outlooks for the Colts and Chargers, a T.J. Watt injury update, and why keeping DK Metcalf in check remains a key for Miami.

Hour 2 opens with a TNF recap, focusing on the Colts’ surprising signing of 44-year-old Phillip Rivers, who hasn’t played in five years. We discuss the NFL’s quarterback shortage, compare Rivers’ return to the Dolphins picking up TE Darren Waller after a two-year hiatus, and debate if Tom Brady could still play today. Larry Blustein joins to recap a wild week in high school football, including Cardinal Newman’s upset of Chaminade and a preview of Miami Northwestern vs. Raines, expecting a massive crowd for the playoff showdown. Hollywood wraps the hour with his top headlines, from a fired Titans reporter for leaking team plane info to a tennis point-shaving scandal, F1’s move to Apple TV, and the final pennies selling for $16.7 million.

Dolphins writer Alain Poupart joins to discuss Miami’s four-game winning streak and preview their Monday Night Football matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, praising Devon Achane, rookie Jonah Savaiinaea, and leader Jordyn Brooks. Mid-interview, a dropped call and crossed lines create a funny on-air moment with a random woman briefly joining the conversation. We also dive into the Dolphins’ recent play, with Tua Tagovailoa happy winning even without throwing often, Joe’s take on Mike McDaniel’s play calling, and the team’s strong defensive and special teams play. Miami’s running game, defensive takeaways, and overall execution set the stage for a big test in Pittsburgh.

In the final hour, Joe shares his NFL picks, moving to 64-46 on the season after a 5-3 week, covering key matchups across the league. NFL insider Mike Florio joins to break down the Colts’ unexpected signing of Phillip Rivers, the Dolphins’ Monday Night clash with the Steelers, and why Pittsburgh is on thin ice with its fanbase. Florio also weighs in on the Sherrone Moore situation at Michigan, urging caution until all facts emerge, and offers insight on Notre Dame’s position with the College Football Playoff next season.
