Hour 1 kicks off with the return of NFL football as the Hall of Fame Game officially opens the preseason. Joe Rose and the crew discuss the Dolphins still sorting out their starting lineup, why next week's joint practices with the Commanders will be Miami's first real test of training camp, and react to a bleak USA Today prediction projecting the Dolphins to finish 1-16. The guys also review the first episode of Hard Knocks, laugh about people gambling on the Hall of Fame Game, and even squeeze in a conversation about Joe's love for Cracker Barrel breakfast. Plus, they break down the first college football Top 25 rankings with Miami checking in at No. 7, debate Notre Dame's favorable path to the College Football Playoff, question the hype surrounding Bill Belichick's North Carolina program, and dive into Hurricanes training camp, highlighting Malachi Toney's star potential, Ben Congdon's impressive start, and why Miami's loaded roster has championship expectations once again.
