Episode Details

We randomly open up on Robert Saleh's huge family as we venture into one of the most active offseason weeks we've seen in a long time. And no time is wasted getting down to Greentree as we finally get the settlement in the Darian Mensah case and he's now officially committed to Miami. Nailing the top quarterback in the portal, though, loses its luster a little when 24-7 ranks him as the SIXTH best quarterback available this offseason. Plus we run down all the big portal additions and it really feels like Miami reloaded in their short portal window and brought in some top talent.

Scoop and Roman really go deep into what to expect from Mensah as he gets ready to take to the Greentree, and Roman explains that his tweet that aligned Mensah closer to Cam Ward than Carson Beck was NOT a shot at Beck, but a nod to Mensah's style. Plus these offensive weapons coming into the year might be the best we've seen in years, which is saying a lot after going 23-5 in the last two seasons. 

The 2026 season also dropped this week, with a bunch of weeknight games and a couple of tough ones on the road, a seeming lack of respect for the runners up to the National Championship this year. And there are already 11-1 predictions being thrown around and debates about what unexpected team is going to jump up and be a problem for the Canes. We also throw some congratulations to the Canes who will be playing in the Super Bowl, play some hilarious audio from a drunk Seahawks fan on the local news, and close out the show with the debate about Bill Belichick being snubbed from the Hall of Fame.
