5R104- Ethan and Chris are joined by Chris Perkins of The Athletic (Subscribe to The Athletic!) to run through 5 Miami Dolphins storylines ahead of their Week 2 game against the New York Jets.

Then, we talk about some of Pearlman's previous books about the Showtime Lakers and 90s Dallas Cowboys and dig into Pat Riley and Jimmy Johnson's role in those books.

Chris was in Dallas, so he brings us his thoughts on the quarterback play, defense, and season outlook for the Canes after the loss.

5R97- Ahead of the big University of Miami season opener against LSU, Ethan and Chris are joined by Cam Underwood of State of The U to preview the game. We break down how important this game is for Miami's season, if Miami has enough size and speed to go toe to toe with LSU, how Miami's offense will look, LSU's decision to start Joe Burrow, and much more.  Be sure to come to our UM-LSU watch party this Sunday at Uncle Al's in Sunrise!

5R96- With the important parts of preseason basically over, Ethan and Chris dive into the five biggest questions we have for the Miami Dolphins as they head towards the regular season. What to make of the quarterback situation, especially if Tannehill got hurt? Is the hope for DeVante Parker being a key contributor to the Dolphins basically over? Which new signing impressed the most? Which rookie will contribute the most? And what are we not talking about enough as something that could have an impact on the Dolphins' season? Thanks to our sponsors Miss-Ink and Uncle Al's Sports Cafe. Be sure to come to our watch party for UM-LSU this Sunday at Uncle Al's.

5R95- Ethan and Chris are joined by the host of our Miami Hurricanes podcast "5 Rings: A Canes Thing", Josh Darrow. Josh and the guys take a look at the most important players heading into this UM season including Malik Rosier, DT Gerald Willis, RB/WR DeeJay Dallas, the freshmen tight ends Brevin Jordan and Will Mallory, and WR Jeff Thomas. We close by examining which freshmen will have the biggest roles for UM this season.

5R94- Ethan and Chris are joined by 560 WQAM host Orlando Alzugary, AKA The Big O, to break down O's plan to fix the Dolphins. The conversation largely centered around the front office, and the moves that the Dolphins have made that have gotten them to this point. We focus on the personnel decisions made by Mike Tannenbaum in free agency and the draft, Adam Gase's perhaps oversized role in roster building, and if Stephen Ross will ever find the right people to run the football side and his approach to the National Anthem story.
