Miami

I know Western Michigan is calling, Western Michigan and the MAC are calling for the voters, the committee to acknowledge that it was a win, even if they don't get credit for it.

But I don't hear other people, like Dave, is saying that Michigan should come out and give up the game in re- i- i- in the way that if you remember, what was it, like a dozen years ago, 15 years ago, when you had the Miami victory at Duke with the kickoff-

Yes

... at the very end of the game.

This never works.

Caught by Corn Elder.

Pitches it back to Jaquan Johnson at the Miami 30.

Delaying the inevitable.

So locally here, and we're not on the local hour anymore, but that's okay.

Locally here, a- and actually it's not, it's not even local, it's, it's a nationwide story, all right? Whatever company owns the Miami Herald, along with a lot of other newspapers around the country, just gutted their workforce, and that includes the Miami Herald, which apparently laid off 30-some odd employees yesterday, including, you know, if we're talking about sports, Michelle Kaufman, who for a very long time-

36 years

... and she had s- had since her last however many years covered soccer, Inter Miami I know in the past, a lot of tennis, and she, she was laid off yesterday.

And I, I'm seeing messages, Chris.

Uh, I hope, I hope Greg is okay.

[laughs]

That's it.

It's been so good to be...

Have you enjoyed being in Miami?

Well, it's, it's rained every single day-

It's unreal

...

since I've been here.

I feel like every time I'm in Miami, this is what we deal with.

Because I think it was...

11-8 is the head-to-head record, uh, and it's in favor of Sabalenka.

The last time they met was this year in Miami.

It was a 6-4, 6-3 win in the semifinal.

Uh, their last three appearances they made were all finals.

And actually, the last player to win three in a row, which Aryna Sabalenka is trying to do, was obviously Serena Williams back in 2014.

But just looking at their official head-to-head records, I think they've played a couple of exhibitions, but just the official ones, I think Sabalenka leads that 10-7, and she's obviously won the last two, both, both in America.

Those finals took place in Miami and Indian Wells.

Uh, but Rybakina, she actually did win the two before that.

Don't forget to check out Pete Fox on our YouTube channel with the Locked On Dodgers post cast with immediate reaction right after the final out of every Dodgers game.

A little bit earlier now for the next seven days with the games being happening now in the East Coast and Miami and Cincinnati.

Check out Pete Fox.

Will Dalton Rushing be ready? If so, how much? The Dodgers could really use Dalton Rushing, and not necessarily behind the plate, because his catching days are done for the rest of 2026 because of the elbow issue he's dealing with.

All right, that's gonna do it for today's episode and this week of Locked On Dodgers.

Thank you for making our show your first listen of the day, and thank you for making Locked On, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, the number one sports podcast network.

On Monday's show, we'll recap the Dodgers' start of their seven-game road trip with their series in Miami.

That kicks off with Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the mound.

11-8 is the head-to-head record, and it's in favor of Sabalenka.

The last time they met was this year in Miami.

It was a 6-4, 6-3 win in the semifinal.

Their last three appearances they made were all finals.

But just looking at their official head-to-head records, I think they've played a couple of exhibitions, but just the official ones, I think Sabalenka leads that 10-7.

And she's obviously won the last two, both in America.

Those finals took place in Miami and Indian Wells.

But Rubikina, she actually did win the two before that.

While both Watt and Alex Highsmith each missed time last season, the Steelers' edge duo registered 17 sacks, and even though the duo missed a combined seven games, Pittsburgh's 48 sacks last season was the sixth most.

Now, while in Miami, Tugvalu, he was sacked 30 times in over 14 contests while averaging more than an interception per game.

And as bad as Tugvalu was, Atlanta, they weren't any better.

I mean, they registered a negative 23.43 offensive EPA along with a negative 12.61 passing EPA.

I mean, I do know why.

It was clearly one-sided because Miami had incredible amounts of talent and Florida A&M did not.

77-7 was that final.

Darian Mensah now propelling himself to the top of the Heisman race.

And you know what? If they lose, if the 49ers lose again...

They're going to get junked on again.

If they lose to Miami next Sunday, or I guess Sunday, like this, not this Sunday, but the following Sunday on the 20th, if they lose to them, lose to the Cardinals, they'll get junked on, and they should, but you don't see it, right? Like yesterday, I came out and said, oh, the Carolina Panthers are going 4-0, and some people laughed.

They did, but they could.

During a brief phone call from detention on Tuesday, Abdullah told Minnesota Public Radio he was shackled by his wrists and ankles and flown to Guantanamo about two weeks ago after what immigration officials said would be a deportation flight to Somalia.

From Miami, they said, OK, now we go to Somalia.

First we go Cuba for refueling and then we go some other countries to Somalia.

Instead, Abdullah was sent to Guantanamo's Camp 6, built 20 years ago to detain people accused of terrorism.
