Miami Heat Stories: "The Worker" with Grant Long

5R110- In the latest chapter of our Miami Heat Stories series, Miami Heat original Grant Long joins Ethan and Chris. Long was the only player to appear in every game of Miami's inaugural 1988-89 season. We dig into how he got drafted and made the Heat, the team's first win, playing for Ron Rothstein, playing with players like Rony Seikaly, Pearl Washington, Glen Rice, and Steve Smith, being traded, and much more.

Winning Weekend: Fins start 3-0, UM Changes QB

Golden Arm: Wayne Ellington, On and Off the Court

5R107 - Just prior to training camp, Ethan and Chris are joined by Miami Heat guard Wayne Ellington for a wide ranging conversation on his decision to stay with the Miami Heat, growing up in Philadelphia, a fateful night while playing with the Lakers, his work in the community, if he would've hit the Ray Allen shot, that nickname Eric Reid gave him.

Can't We Just Enjoy The Dolphins 2-0 Start?

5R106- Ethan and Chris are pretty excited about the Miami Dolphins winning again yesterday and starting 2-0, but the response has been surprisingly polarizing. So we tell you what to be optimistic about, including another fantastic defensive performance, Ryan Tannehill getting the job done on the road, how good the Dolphins offseason looks now, and more.

Plus, we dig into the Miami Hurricanes win over Toledo and Malik Rosier's subsequent social media.

We ask if the Dolphins start to the season is harder than we might have thought, assess the Wide Receivers, wonder what happened to the Dolphins in the red zone, admire the Dolphins run defense after losing Ndamukong Suh, and each give our thing we most want to see heading into the Jets game.

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.

1-0: The Dolphins Are.. Good?
