All right, welcome everybody to dog House Sports on iHeart

good to say that. So if you are checking out
this podcast and you don't know who the Doghouse was, well,
let me tell you. If you were in the Bay
Area from nineteen ninety four till about two thousand and

I guarantee you heard of the Doghouse. If you want
to know more about the Doghouse, go to YouTube, check
it out, Google the Doghouse Radio Show, or just as
somebody that's in their forties or fifties in the Bay
Area and ask him. It was a different time and
we definitely changed the radio game. Also, if you are
(00:47):
from the Bay Area, and then you know that my
partner and our friend JV passed away tragically last year.
So what we have chosen to do is to keep
his spirit alive with the Doghouse Sports. He was absolutely
the most passionate, driven, creative, funny person I'll ever know. Okay,
I was funnier, but he.
Speaker 2 (01:07):

Speaker 1 (01:07):
They'll never be another Doghouse. But I am a sports
fanatic and I'm passionate about sports. Therefore we give you
Doghouse Sports. Super fortunate to be joined by a man
that I've personally known over thirty years. I don't know
how that can be, but uh, it just so happens.
He is a former forty nine er and Super Bowl champ.
My partner Derek De's how are you?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It was going on?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know what I'm saying? Was that was that intro

It was? It was really long?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, but listen to me. I We're on iHeart now.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So there's gonna be a lot more people, you know,
checking this out, and they're gonna go, who the Hell's
of the doghouse. It's like I had to give something,
some little a little bit of a history of the doghouse.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So if you gotta figure out, you gotta figure out
how to cut.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It down.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
My words?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Hey, first, before we get started, there's so much sports
going on. Uh, and I just want to thank our
sponsors Smart tab. If you are a bar, restaurant, nightclub,
gentleman's club, Derek, was the last time you went to
strip club?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Good dud, dude, you got to come to Vegas. I
am connected at a few when you get out of here.
We won't talk about it, but I am good. If

Speaker 1 (02:36):
If you're a bar, restaurant, nightclub, gentlemen's club, you want

Let's think iHeart San Francisco real quick here. I want
to thank the market manager who is now the market
manager in San Francisco and iHeart and in Sacramento. Thank
you Steve for making this happen. Also Aj the market
just the sales guy there at San Francisco and Dan Hunt.
(02:59):
We're gonna be producing a bunch of digital content for
iHeart Sports bay Area, and we'll be coming to the
Bay Area for events. And what sucks is that Derek's
a bigger star than I am in the Bay So
that's cool. Oh guess it makes sense. You got a
Super Bowl ring. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
what did I do fart Jogson, break calls for fart
jokes and brank calls. But that's okay, So let's get
right into it. This is dog House sports, in my opinion,
(03:23):
the biggest sports story. And you just brought one up
to a mind blower to me in college football, and
I didn't see it yet because I was working on
some other stuff. Bill Belichick hired today as the coach
of the North Carolina tar Heels today the former New
England coach. At age seventy two. He will be introduced
sometime this week. He replaces equally as old Mac Brown.
(03:45):
I guess not going younger there now, Derek. Before I
get your opinion on Belichick going to college, I do
know this much. The man knows how to teach football right.
Six times Super Bowl winning coach, considered the greatest football
coach all time with Tom Brady, and as we both know,
college football has kind of become kind of like NFL lights.
(04:10):
It's all transactional now, and he's gonna be able to
get players to play for him. I know that, But
I don't see him recruiting at the high school level.
You know, I just don't see that happening, do you?
Think adapting to college football is going to be too
challenging for Belichick or do you think he can quickly
build a playoff team that can win in the ACC.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, well, ask yourself this, how did he win in
an NFL. He wasn't a guy that really took a
lot of talent and developed it. At a point he
became a guy who was always going through free agency, right,
So that's what he's going to do with the portal.
He's just going to go through the portal, pick out
guys that he needs to come in and put a
band aid over something for one or two years, and
then go get another guy after they're gone.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But was he a great personnel guy because the last
few years in New England were awful, admit that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And he was a jam He was a general man.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He was.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
But I think I think now you have to look
at it is he's going to have a whole staff
of people that he's going to have to depend on.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, and guys that you have to and let's be
let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's a little bit easier sometimes with college kids, right
because you've seen them play, right, and some of these
guys that you get in the NFL. You know, they
get some money, they get attitude, they're they're they're funky
about things, and they don't they don't really they don't
end up panning out for you. It happens in college too,
but but you have an easier way of getting rid
(05:31):
of that because they know, hey, look, if I screw
this up, I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm done. Ain't nobody else is going to pick me up.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And maintaining and building a roster in college and a
successful program. It's basically it's hard in college football because
of the transfer portal and anil and all this money
going on. I just don't know if bel Chick has
got the patience to stick around very long. You've had
a three year deal, uh with North Carolina. So we'll
see how that goes. I I I hope he wins,
because that just means that, you know, college football is
(05:57):
going to be even more exciting. By the way, his girlfriend,
he's seventy two, his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Is twenty four.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
With Oh no, I'll give him some props and I'm
gonna send him some VIAGRAA guys, Yeah, is he.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A convertible vet or Porsche?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Totally mid life prices, But he's listened to me.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
He's forty eight years older than his cheerleader girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You gotta love that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I mean, come on now, so so talk to me.
You brought up something here just a little while ago,
and I hadn't seen this. The Marshall Thundering Herd football team,
I guess is reportedly they are the entire team is
gonna leave and enter the transfer portal. Tell me what
happened there because I missed this.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
So so the head coach, I guess the last couple
of years had had a kind of terrible season.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, a couple a couple of bad seasons.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Things weren't going well for him, and then this year
he turns it around and he wins. He wins conference championship. Yeah,
but it's the last year of his contract. So the
school decides not to renew the contract. Well, the players
are saying, hey, if you don't renew the contract, then
we're out.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Charles Huff, Charles Huff is his name.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Well, yeah, Charles Huff, correct And they they turn around
and they say, well, we're not doing it. So now
it's on the players to whether whether they're going to
pull the trigger or not.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You know, now you talk to the good game. Are
you gonna back it up?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
And from what I've heard, most of the players are
all still they're just jumping in the portal.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah no.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And so what that means is now there's gonna be
male cheerleaders, are gonna play offensive line, professor is going
to be playing quarterback, and one of the janitors is
going to be the kicker.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I mean, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
The thing is is you probably have a lot of
these kids that are stucking the portal there. They'll probably
be able to come out right, and then you're gonna
have a lot of high school kids that have to
be recruited to that of that program, which is great
for football, right I think I think I think these
colleges need to get back to still having thirty kids
on the roster that they have to develop because it's
still about developing developing talent.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Those people that don't know Derek does not like the
transfer portal. By the way, not only is he a
Super Bowl champion with the forty nine ers, he played
college football at a powerhouse USC, so he knows exactly
what he's talking about. I think it's exciting for college football.
I mean, it's it's it to me. It's like you've
got nil money. You got players making fifteen million dollars
a year and they can jump from school to school.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Right, It's not about It's not about that.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
It's about it's about My problem is is like I
don't have a problem with kids jumping from school to school.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's developing yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's the developing that goes away when they're allowed to
jump from school. And if you told me every school
is only allowed to take like twelve portal kids, Okay,
I'd be fine with that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
By the way, Derek is a football coach now, so
there's that, and that's what he does. He develops players
and gets him ready for the next level, which is it.
I don't know anything about that. I'm just going from
a sports fan a position to where it's like, oh
my god, they were crap last year. Now they're in
the twelve twelve team playoff SMU. I mean, I know
they've been good for the last couple of years, but
(09:13):
who saw s MU in the twelve team playoff?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I know.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
But if you only if you only need a few players,
like I said, five or six players to get over the.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Top, I'm all for it right right.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm just not for like going to get roster forty
five or fifty guys out of the portal I'm with,
and you have no development of these other kids. And
now all of a sudden, you bring in three or
four high school kids only because you think they can
be the starters that you need right away. But what
about the other kids that are like you know that
need need just to need to be you know, worked on. Yeah, right,
(09:46):
they need to development development stuff, and they need to
be taught, and you know they're gonna get better and
then they're gonna get really good. The biggest problem with
the portal is the schools that do that, they lose
the those players.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And you know what's interesting about that is that the
one big major coach who said pretty much no to
the transfer portal, which is Dabo Sweeny, he is in
the the twelve. He's in the twelve team playoff, which
is kind of cool if you think about it, because
he said no to the to the trade. He's gonna
have to He's gonna have to adapt. But it's good
you don't think so, because I think you.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Ask you something. Alabama didn't have to adapt.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well because they got all fun star players.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
First of all.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
First of all, first of all, let's go away from
this five star deal, because I want you to tell me.
I want you to tell me how many do you
have more five star guys in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Or do you have more like three star, two star,
no star.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's a great point, and that's five star, needs nothing.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
And he still had to go get talent. He went
and got good talent. They just get it.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
They What really happens is Alabama comes to your house.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Somebody finds out that you're being a recruited at Alabama,
and they say, oh, he's a five star.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, See, this is why you're on the show.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
To those people like myself that really don't know what
the hell we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
When itall so so, you can do it right, it's
just now you have to be willing to make that sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
To do that. Got it right?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
And I'll take a hard worker over a guy that
wants to get paid, you know, five million dollars a year,
got it Yeah, Because that hard worker is gonna pan
out and he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna work his
butt off to be the guy to make that five
and be part of a team, to be part of
a team, and we're gonna develop him and do all that. Well,
the schools that are doing that are the smaller schools, right,
(11:34):
the smaller d ones, small D one programs and so forth.
But the problem you have as soon as they get good,
here comes Alabama exactly, Here.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Comes Conrado, right, here comes sc Here comes u C
I A.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I hope so.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Things Happenncoln Riley has just been a catastrophe in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, that that seat is hot.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I think I would ask you this and you probably
are all for it. But in college football when they
make the players wear the jacket and the coat and tie,
isn't that a little bit old school? I mean, I
know it's about respect and it's about a team. And
do you still agree with that? I'm thinking, like ten
million dollars a year, I ain't wearing no.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Tie, I know.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
So we're making ten millions and ten million dollars a
year and you come dressed like Deebo, I'm not I'm
not happy with you.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Or no, no, like Danny. Are are our producer? By
the way, say hi Danny.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yo, what's going on? Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's enough. Shut up, Danny.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Danny's a big fan of the Bengals, and like come
dressed as Joe burrow Man, wear some crazy stuff like
he was wearing carpet the other day in that.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, it's not as bad as as debo.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's not as bad.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, there are terrible like he's.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Terrible and and but but what I'm saying is is
that that's what they call dressed up, right, I got it.
And all these guys are putting on all these these
crazy outfits and and looking looking.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Like their conents. Great, right, they think that's that's a swag.
I just saw the But you're still doing it's.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Like all this good stuff. No, man, put the put
on and let's go. I get it, and you start
making the money that you're supposed to making. Whatever the
hell you want or whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Right, All right, let's get into the NFL, because.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
One more question before we get off of that real quick.
You know, with the Heisman Trophy, with the Heisman coming
up announced on Saturday, who do you guys taking.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I think it's Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
This is a question.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, but that's John t Is from Boise State. Is got.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Travis? Why?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Why is that your pick for me?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well, I mean, look, you got the you got Johnty,
who's making record?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Who did he play? Who did he play? He's in
the Mountain West. Think about it?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh, I mean I think, fine, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Fine, that's fine, okay, But let me ask you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Something over to nearly twenty five hundred yards is just fine.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Against Forget the yards. Forget the yards.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
You have something that's being done that's never been done
before and probably.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
May never get done again again.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
How many players can play that many plays in one
game on a consistent basis every game and wants to
go into the NFL and actually.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Attempt to do this in the NFL. If that does matter,
I could see, I could see if you could say he.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Wasn't a Heisman candidate because he's not very good at
neither one of those positions.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
He's actually extraordinary at both.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
So if he didn't, if he was only playing one way,
he's still want to be up for the Heisman. He's
playing both ways, and he should be up for the
Heisman in both sides of the ball.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
If you want to, wait, I mean guine question, where
does he rank as a wide out and as a corner.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
He's gonna be the number number corner.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He's probably the best corner in the in the college
football right now corner and he shut down without a doubt,
and he's probably one of the top five receivers in
college football.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No way you will be the third player take it after.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
There's no way that you can. There's no way you
can argue and say that he's not. I mean if
the look twenty five hundred yards, that's amazing, right, Like
if there was a time where you would say, like, man,
do we do we give out two?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
We get out to like yeah, but realistically, what what
Travis is doing? Man, you can't can't look at it
and look, look you're talking on lineman, right, So I
understand what those linemen have been doing for for that
running back for I get it, I get it all.
I just I just think that what Travis has done
is just Man, do you think if.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You think of me, if he was on an SEC team,
that John t would be more of a case to
be at least number one for the Heisman if he's
in a league like that.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
If if he put up twenty five hundred and the
Big Ten or the SEC without a doubt, yeah. I
mean you got to look at a little a little harder, right,
you can't hold a guy. I'm a guy that believes
you can't hold a guy, you know, at fault for
where he has to play, right.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Nobody gave this dude a chance.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And I get there's guarantee you there's other colleges going like, man,
we should have signed that dude, you know, and they're
fired and the guy is bad. He's a he's a
I think he'll be a great NFL back't.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Terrible first running back taken probably by the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
From but he should be a number one back taken.
And look, you have to think that he's a high second.
It probably will be the closest match or race in
the Heisman that's probably ever happened in history.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It's gonna be that tight.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
But when I say that tight, I mean it's gonna
be like votes, like two or three votes, you know,
like it's gonna be really really close.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Wow, what a trip. All right, Let's get to the
NFL real quick.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Some of the teams that have been eliminated in the
a f C. The Jets, Raiders, Browns, Jags, Titans, and Patriots.
It's in probably next week or this week coming up,
Danny's Bengals will be.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Out to.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Oh God, just let it go, dude. Is time for
a new team.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So let me ask you, is Derek uh I mentioned
the Jets first Rogers?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Is he done in New York? And is he done
in the NFL?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I believe he's done in New York. NFL wise, there's
always somebody wanting to pay a guy like him.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Go away, you're born, You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I think I can.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I think he tried to come back just so he
didn't end on an injury, is what I believe.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I think he'll walk off, And I.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Said, I think so. I think he's I think he's gone.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
And it doesn't look like he's enjoying himself anymore, is
what it looks like. It looks like he's having a
difficult time. He's not happy, he's he's getting hit like crazy.
His offensive line isn't when it when I think what
he thought it was going to be picked up to.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They picked up Moses and they picked up Tyron Smith
and both yet hurt.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
But they both got they go were injured, and he's
been taking a beating.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's ugly.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That whole remember that picture with him with his helmet
turned around. That's just kind of freaking season all right.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Coming to the seasoning up.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
This Thursday night, the Niners are hosting the Rams at
Levi Stadium. What's amazing to me is the NFC West
is still wide open. It is definitely the NFC worst
right now. It's kind of like the NFC West is
like a hot potato. It's kind of like you want
first place. No, I don't know, you take it, I
don't want it. There are four teams. You've got Arizona,
you got the Niners, you got the Rams, and you
(18:33):
got the Seahawks. If somebody could win that with eight wins?
What what is going on with the NFC West.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, first of all, I want to talk about the
Niners a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Niners have they can't lose a game. No.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
The prom that they have is after you play the Rams,
who they lost to already, Yeah, you then have to
turn around and play the Dolphins. Then turn around and
you have to play the Lions.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Oh geez.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, So that's a rough one right now.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I mean, we know the Lions are coming with some avengeance,
right because what happened with the NFC Championship game and
so forth.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I don't think they beat the Rams because of Puka
Nicua and a Cupback both the game changers, both of them,
I mean game changers.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But the thing is is, like you have to you
have to assume that that when the Niners are at home,
right and two, the Rams are coming off of the
Rams are coming off of a big win. It is
a tough game. For the tough game. They beat them up.
They played they played some yeah, but they played some
physical football, so maybe. And it's a short week form
(19:37):
off of a game like that. So so the Niners
have a little bit of an advantage, right, and and
so you have to think, like, man, they know they
can't lose any games. Yeah, and but Seattle taking off
like crazy, right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
No, They're defense is playing well to Seattle's defense.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
You know the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Ah agree.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Let me ask you this, if have you seen this
kid on the Rams, this Jared Verse, Oh my god,
he is a beast. Now, nobody's ever going to replace
Aaron Donnell. Of course on the Rams defensive line. He's
a he's a defensive end. For those of you who
haven't watched the Rams, that kid is going to be
a badass.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
He's going to be good, really good moves, his moves,
his speed, his strength, I mean he's all over the place.
He's got a good technique Florida leverage. Yeah, and he's
got he's got a motor. Yeah, and that's the good
thing about him. I think that could give the Niners
a little bit of trouble, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So yeah, they've got It just.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Depends what's gonna happen with Trent, you know, if he's
coming back this week or not.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You know, everything, it's it's rough for him, It's really rough.
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
The other thing is is how do how do you
how do you know? Your years going bad? So you
lose one back and you put him on I R
you bring another one in, right, everybody in their grandmother
picks this guy up, that is and then he is hurt.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, Jordan Mason and then he got he got what's
the other kid, Guerrero gre Yeah yeah, Garrel.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
He's the one that everybody picked up last week. Yeah,
I know, I know, we're just sitting.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
In the last bit, Like I got the last bit
right here, and I can spind I'm gonna get guarrel
because I know he's gonna get a lot of carries.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I want to ask you, Derek, being a former player
in the NFL, I want to ask you about what's
going on with the Eagles right now. The drama uh
with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
There was some A J.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Brown came out in the I guess the media, and
I don't know if he said something about he said
the passing game I think was our problem or we're
not good enough. They are thirtieth in the NFL in
passing yards this season. And then Brandon Graham, who's on
I R by the Way, was on his radio show
and he said the Eagles passing attack has been off,
(21:50):
and he also said something about the relationship between Jaelen
Hurts and A J. Brown has changed. They used to
be friends. Now we're not sure, but he's walking it
back now. He said, I made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I assumed.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Do you think a team which has got an incredible
back at take one Barkley was probably gonna break that record.
Do you think being thirtieth in the NFL in passing
yards and passing do they really even have a shot
to win the Super Bowl or at least get.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
There, you have a shot.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
The problem is is that most teams that are lopsided
on one side of the ball means their defense is
like in the top two or three in the league. Right,
So you normally have an offense that's balanced closer to balance, fifty,
closer to fifty to fifty. You know, maybe it maybe
(22:35):
fifty five to forty five, right, and you have a
passing attack that's going.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
But let's not forget.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
You can look back to last year when Aj Brown
was having a little difficulty with hurts, right, and he
wasn't throwing them in the ball, right, he got upset
about that. It's not a big deal. It's not a
big deal. No, it was a big deal then and
it's a big deal now. And I think it caused
some problems because Aj got paid off of million him
the ball and then all of a sudden, now you're
(23:03):
not throwing him.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The ball, getting all the getting more of the love, right,
I mean.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
I know, but but but at the same time, you
still got to keep a balanced offense.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I get. I think they're trying to.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I think they're proving to the proving Their point with
Sakwan is that he's not washed up, he's not done,
and they got a chance to do something really special
with him this year that hasn't been done since what
Eric Dickerson, Right, So so now you're looking at that
and he's got a chance to break that record.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I mean, you got to take a chance for it.
You got to know it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't know, maybe maybe killing Moore, the new offensive
coordinator's got something to do with this as well.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
And it's not on.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It's not you know, he gotta make the calls exactly
to make the calls.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
But and and but let's just be let's just be honest,
Like he doesn't make the calls, but when he does
have the calls that should be coming, he knows the
ball should be gone. Quarterbacks know how to get the
ball spread around. You know when it's supposed to get
spread around. They know when it's not. And and that
was a you know, that was an issue when you
think back when I played and we had John Taylor,
(24:06):
you had Brent Jones, you had Jerry Rice, right, you
had Ricky Waters.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Oh man, so you got to all these guys got
to get the ball. Yeah, they're gonna get they get they.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Know, they know what games that you know, we know
what games John's gonna that j T was going to
get the rock. We knew what games and it was
going to be, and Jerry knew. And there was games
where Jerry's like, Yo, this is my game. I know
I'm getting it. We ain't got to discuss the other
you know, thirteen games or or twelve games.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So as he is a former NFL player that goes
on that, they the whole team knows, Hey, man, he's
the man.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
He's the man, get the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Okay, you know who's the man on your team? You
know who's the guy.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Look Ricky. Ricky wanted the ball. He wanted to run
the rock, you know, thirty times a game. He was
getting thirty touches or fifteen or twenty touches every game,
but he was getting it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Was like fifteen of them were passes, right.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And then like maybe if you're lucky you get ten ten,
uh ten or fifteen rushes, but he wants thirty rushes.
That wouldn't So then they end up giving it to
him one game and he he and he I think
he went over two hundred some yards.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Is like, well, then that's why I should get it
every game.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Well, they were going to do that every game ballas said, one,
it doesn't allow the other guys to get the rock
because it runs clock right, and and two they just
didn't think he could take the pounding.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
But he went He left us and went to Philly,
and he could. He showed he could do it there,
and left Philly, went to went to Seattle, showed he
could do it there.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Wow, that's ready was on the he was on the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I forgot about that, correct, And so he showed that
he could do that. He rushed for a thousand over
one thousand every place he went.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Right, he was he was a beast, so he was.
He was a monster. But you have to figure out
how to how to spread that rock around.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, So you know, if you're just tuning in,
this is Doghouse Sports. We're on iHeart Sports bay Area
and the iHeart Radio app. Make sure when you're listening
you tell friends about it, said the Doghouse would Elvis
and Derek Deezer back, we're talking sports. We're having fun.
We're gonna blow this thing up for iHeart Sports bay Area.
Finally here on this show. The NFL Draft, of course,
(26:10):
is my Christmas I live for the draft. I have
no girlfriend because the NFL is my girlfriend. Sad but
true Raiders right now have the number one overall pick,
and there's been talks that coach Prime wants to do
her to be in Vegas and they all he also
wants them to draft his son Shiloh. Why would he
want to come to a team that does not have
(26:33):
a proven record of being able to develop quarterbacks? Why
would they want to come here? Why wouldn't he want
to go to a team? I guess it depends on
who's gonna be offensive coordinator and who the new staff is.
But Antonio Pierce is not that guy in my opinion.
Why would he want to come here just for because
it's the Raiders?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I think I think you guys look at Antonio Pierce
in the wrong light a little bit.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I'm just going by wins. He's got two of this year.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
You can but but he's got two wins this year,
But he has no quarterback. So that's that's not that's
not beat him up on that because it's not his fault.
He wanted a quarterback. He wanted a quarterback, and he
was willing to give up everything to get him or
bone knicks.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And he was giving up a kidney. He said he
left kidney did for he.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Was going to and guess what, the GM said no
and no, and it caused a fight. He almost knocked
him out.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So you don't fight with.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That's the problem. And so they had to grab him
and hold him back and all that because he was like,
you're setting me up for failure. And that's exactly what happened.
He got set up for failure. Well, guess what, you
got to give him a quarterback. We see what happens
without one. Without a quarterback, he lost his best receiver.
Now all of a sudden, you gotta get he's got
to get a receiver. He's got to get a quarterback.
(27:52):
And and and look, it's not him that's doing the developing.
If you look who he surrounds himself with. He's surrounding
himself with pretty good people, right well, and he doesn't.
And here's the thing, if he doesn't, he's not he's
not really afraid to just say, hey, you gotta go Marvin.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Why is it Marvin Lewis moved more to an offensive
role with this team. I mean, he's on the staff
and he.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Isn't We don't know how much consulting he's actually doing.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Right, I hopefully not. There's another Bengals. There's another Bengal
Danny Marvin Lewis who's like in the back, you know,
just making making not making moves.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Well, uh, that's interesting because you know with the Raiders
being number one, and then they're saying, like the Giants
could be right there as well. You know, whoever is
number one, they're probably gonna take you do her Sanders right,
he's probably the number one overall. Pick him or Camboard.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Well, it depends, No, it depends if those two are there.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yes, but if you if you get a team that
you get a team, right, you get a team that
trades up, that doesn't need that they need they need
a receiver slash dB GB slash receiver slash winner, yeah,
slash whatever you want me to do, return kids, return pints,
whatever I got you. You know, guy that can stay
on the field all day and all night, the Heisman guy.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Not a problem. Don't get mad Danny. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
I like the fact that he can do both, but
the question is can you do it at the pro level?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Oh? Yeah, it looks like.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
This kid works his butt off, and he works hard,
and he's very humble. He's not really cocky. He knows,
he knows who he is right, and he's been trained.
And look, he's the first one to tell you. As
a freshman in high school, he was terrible, really and
he said, he said, I told the guy who was
training me, Hey, I'm going to be the hardest worker
(29:39):
and the best guy you've ever trained.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And that's what he went out to do. And that's
what he's done. Now.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
If you ask him about the Heisman, he'll tell you
right away, the Heisman was not my dream. My dream
was to be number one.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
That's his dream. Wow.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
So now you got a decision to make. Now, the
hard the hardest decision to make is do you take
one player? Do you take a player that can play
two positions?
Speaker 6 (30:02):
That's a rough I get two for one.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Know, it's it's a quarterback league.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
You can't win unlicia quarter I get it, you've got
two great potential players, But man, do you really pass
up on that guy?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Giant? I'm getting two for one, yo for it almost
a special. It's a special for me, two for one week.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Hopefully, I'm almost thinking No, every team that is up
there has that number of pick.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Whoever it is, you gotta take Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh yeah, you got, you got to.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But it's a quarterback league, all right. We want to
thank you everybody for being here on Doghouse Sports. I
want to thank iHeart Sports Bay Area and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, but listen to me. I We're on iHeart now.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So there's gonna be a lot more people, you know,
checking this out, and they're gonna go, who the Hell's
of the doghouse. It's like I had to give something,
some little a little bit of a history of the doghouse.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So if you gotta figure out, you gotta figure out
how to cut.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It down.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
My words?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Hey, first, before we get started, there's so much sports
going on. Uh, and I just want to thank our
sponsors Smart tab. If you are a bar, restaurant, nightclub,
gentleman's club, Derek, was the last time you went to
strip club?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Good dud, dude, you got to come to Vegas. I
am connected at a few when you get out of here.
We won't talk about it, but I am good. If
you're a gentleman's club, an event space and you want
to generate more money, you go to smart tab dot com.
That's s M A R T tab dot com book
your demo. It is the fastest point of sale and
(02:31):
hospitality of features are amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I should know. I work with them every day.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
If you're a bar, restaurant, nightclub, gentlemen's club, you want
to generate more money, you go to smart tab dot com.
Let's think iHeart San Francisco real quick here. I want
to thank the market manager who is now the market
manager in San Francisco and iHeart and in Sacramento. Thank
you Steve for making this happen. Also Aj the market
just the sales guy there at San Francisco and Dan Hunt.
(02:59):
We're gonna be producing a bunch of digital content for
iHeart Sports bay Area, and we'll be coming to the
Bay Area for events. And what sucks is that Derek's
a bigger star than I am in the Bay So
that's cool. Oh guess it makes sense. You got a
Super Bowl ring. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
what did I do fart Jogson, break calls for fart
jokes and brank calls. But that's okay, So let's get
right into it. This is dog House sports, in my opinion,
(03:23):
the biggest sports story. And you just brought one up
to a mind blower to me in college football, and
I didn't see it yet because I was working on
some other stuff. Bill Belichick hired today as the coach
of the North Carolina tar Heels today the former New
England coach. At age seventy two. He will be introduced
sometime this week. He replaces equally as old Mac Brown.
(03:45):
I guess not going younger there now, Derek. Before I
get your opinion on Belichick going to college, I do
know this much. The man knows how to teach football right.
Six times Super Bowl winning coach, considered the greatest football
coach all time with Tom Brady, and as we both know,
college football has kind of become kind of like NFL lights.
(04:10):
It's all transactional now, and he's gonna be able to
get players to play for him. I know that, But
I don't see him recruiting at the high school level.
You know, I just don't see that happening, do you?
Think adapting to college football is going to be too
challenging for Belichick or do you think he can quickly
build a playoff team that can win in the ACC.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, well, ask yourself this, how did he win in
an NFL. He wasn't a guy that really took a
lot of talent and developed it. At a point he
became a guy who was always going through free agency, right,
So that's what he's going to do with the portal.
He's just going to go through the portal, pick out
guys that he needs to come in and put a
band aid over something for one or two years, and
then go get another guy after they're gone.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But was he a great personnel guy because the last
few years in New England were awful, admit that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And he was a jam He was a general man.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He was.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
But I think I think now you have to look
at it is he's going to have a whole staff
of people that he's going to have to depend on.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, and guys that you have to and let's be
let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's a little bit easier sometimes with college kids, right
because you've seen them play, right, and some of these
guys that you get in the NFL. You know, they
get some money, they get attitude, they're they're they're funky
about things, and they don't they don't really they don't
end up panning out for you. It happens in college too,
but but you have an easier way of getting rid
(05:31):
of that because they know, hey, look, if I screw
this up, I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm done. Ain't nobody else is going to pick me up.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And maintaining and building a roster in college and a
successful program. It's basically it's hard in college football because
of the transfer portal and anil and all this money
going on. I just don't know if bel Chick has
got the patience to stick around very long. You've had
a three year deal, uh with North Carolina. So we'll
see how that goes. I I I hope he wins,
because that just means that, you know, college football is
(05:57):
going to be even more exciting. By the way, his girlfriend,
he's seventy two, his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Is twenty four.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
With Oh no, I'll give him some props and I'm
gonna send him some VIAGRAA guys, Yeah, is he.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A convertible vet or Porsche?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Totally mid life prices, But he's listened to me.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
He's forty eight years older than his cheerleader girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You gotta love that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I mean, come on now, so so talk to me.
You brought up something here just a little while ago,
and I hadn't seen this. The Marshall Thundering Herd football team,
I guess is reportedly they are the entire team is
gonna leave and enter the transfer portal. Tell me what
happened there because I missed this.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
So so the head coach, I guess the last couple
of years had had a kind of terrible season.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, a couple a couple of bad seasons.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Things weren't going well for him, and then this year
he turns it around and he wins. He wins conference championship. Yeah,
but it's the last year of his contract. So the
school decides not to renew the contract. Well, the players
are saying, hey, if you don't renew the contract, then
we're out.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Charles Huff, Charles Huff is his name.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Well, yeah, Charles Huff, correct And they they turn around
and they say, well, we're not doing it. So now
it's on the players to whether whether they're going to
pull the trigger or not.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You know, now you talk to the good game. Are
you gonna back it up?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
And from what I've heard, most of the players are
all still they're just jumping in the portal.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah no.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And so what that means is now there's gonna be
male cheerleaders, are gonna play offensive line, professor is going
to be playing quarterback, and one of the janitors is
going to be the kicker.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I mean, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
The thing is is you probably have a lot of
these kids that are stucking the portal there. They'll probably
be able to come out right, and then you're gonna
have a lot of high school kids that have to
be recruited to that of that program, which is great
for football, right I think I think I think these
colleges need to get back to still having thirty kids
on the roster that they have to develop because it's
still about developing developing talent.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Those people that don't know Derek does not like the
transfer portal. By the way, not only is he a
Super Bowl champion with the forty nine ers, he played
college football at a powerhouse USC, so he knows exactly
what he's talking about. I think it's exciting for college football.
I mean, it's it's it to me. It's like you've
got nil money. You got players making fifteen million dollars
a year and they can jump from school to school.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Right, It's not about It's not about that.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
It's about it's about My problem is is like I
don't have a problem with kids jumping from school to school.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's developing yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's the developing that goes away when they're allowed to
jump from school. And if you told me every school
is only allowed to take like twelve portal kids, Okay,
I'd be fine with that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
By the way, Derek is a football coach now, so
there's that, and that's what he does. He develops players
and gets him ready for the next level, which is it.
I don't know anything about that. I'm just going from
a sports fan a position to where it's like, oh
my god, they were crap last year. Now they're in
the twelve twelve team playoff SMU. I mean, I know
they've been good for the last couple of years, but
(09:13):
who saw s MU in the twelve team playoff?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I know.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
But if you only if you only need a few players,
like I said, five or six players to get over the.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Top, I'm all for it right right.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm just not for like going to get roster forty
five or fifty guys out of the portal I'm with,
and you have no development of these other kids. And
now all of a sudden, you bring in three or
four high school kids only because you think they can
be the starters that you need right away. But what
about the other kids that are like you know that
need need just to need to be you know, worked on. Yeah, right,
(09:46):
they need to development development stuff, and they need to
be taught, and you know they're gonna get better and
then they're gonna get really good. The biggest problem with
the portal is the schools that do that, they lose
the those players.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And you know what's interesting about that is that the
one big major coach who said pretty much no to
the transfer portal, which is Dabo Sweeny, he is in
the the twelve. He's in the twelve team playoff, which
is kind of cool if you think about it, because
he said no to the to the trade. He's gonna
have to He's gonna have to adapt. But it's good
you don't think so, because I think you.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Ask you something. Alabama didn't have to adapt.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well because they got all fun star players.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
First of all.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
First of all, first of all, let's go away from
this five star deal, because I want you to tell me.
I want you to tell me how many do you
have more five star guys in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Or do you have more like three star, two star,
no star.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's a great point, and that's five star, needs nothing.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
And he still had to go get talent. He went
and got good talent. They just get it.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
They What really happens is Alabama comes to your house.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Somebody finds out that you're being a recruited at Alabama,
and they say, oh, he's a five star.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, See, this is why you're on the show.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
To those people like myself that really don't know what
the hell we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
When itall so so, you can do it right, it's
just now you have to be willing to make that sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
To do that. Got it right?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
And I'll take a hard worker over a guy that
wants to get paid, you know, five million dollars a year,
got it Yeah, Because that hard worker is gonna pan
out and he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna work his
butt off to be the guy to make that five
and be part of a team, to be part of
a team, and we're gonna develop him and do all that. Well,
the schools that are doing that are the smaller schools, right,
(11:34):
the smaller d ones, small D one programs and so forth.
But the problem you have as soon as they get good,
here comes Alabama exactly, Here.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Comes Conrado, right, here comes sc Here comes u C
I A.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I hope so.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Things Happenncoln Riley has just been a catastrophe in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, that that seat is hot.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I think I would ask you this and you probably
are all for it. But in college football when they
make the players wear the jacket and the coat and tie,
isn't that a little bit old school? I mean, I
know it's about respect and it's about a team. And
do you still agree with that? I'm thinking, like ten
million dollars a year, I ain't wearing no.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Tie, I know.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
So we're making ten millions and ten million dollars a
year and you come dressed like Deebo, I'm not I'm
not happy with you.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Or no, no, like Danny. Are are our producer? By
the way, say hi Danny.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yo, what's going on? Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's enough. Shut up, Danny.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Danny's a big fan of the Bengals, and like come
dressed as Joe burrow Man, wear some crazy stuff like
he was wearing carpet the other day in that.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, it's not as bad as as debo.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's not as bad.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, there are terrible like he's.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Terrible and and but but what I'm saying is is
that that's what they call dressed up, right, I got it.
And all these guys are putting on all these these
crazy outfits and and looking looking.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Like their conents. Great, right, they think that's that's a swag.
I just saw the But you're still doing it's.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Like all this good stuff. No, man, put the put
on and let's go. I get it, and you start
making the money that you're supposed to making. Whatever the
hell you want or whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Right, All right, let's get into the NFL, because.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
One more question before we get off of that real quick.
You know, with the Heisman Trophy, with the Heisman coming
up announced on Saturday, who do you guys taking.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I think it's Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
This is a question.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, but that's John t Is from Boise State. Is got.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Travis? Why?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Why is that your pick for me?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well, I mean, look, you got the you got Johnty,
who's making record?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Who did he play? Who did he play? He's in
the Mountain West. Think about it?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh, I mean I think, fine, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Fine, that's fine, okay, But let me ask you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Something over to nearly twenty five hundred yards is just fine.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Against Forget the yards. Forget the yards.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
You have something that's being done that's never been done
before and probably.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
May never get done again again.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
How many players can play that many plays in one
game on a consistent basis every game and wants to
go into the NFL and actually.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Attempt to do this in the NFL. If that does matter,
I could see, I could see if you could say he.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Wasn't a Heisman candidate because he's not very good at
neither one of those positions.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
He's actually extraordinary at both.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
So if he didn't, if he was only playing one way,
he's still want to be up for the Heisman. He's
playing both ways, and he should be up for the
Heisman in both sides of the ball.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
If you want to, wait, I mean guine question, where
does he rank as a wide out and as a corner.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
He's gonna be the number number corner.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He's probably the best corner in the in the college
football right now corner and he shut down without a doubt,
and he's probably one of the top five receivers in
college football.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No way you will be the third player take it after.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
There's no way that you can. There's no way you
can argue and say that he's not. I mean if
the look twenty five hundred yards, that's amazing, right, Like
if there was a time where you would say, like, man,
do we do we give out two?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
We get out to like yeah, but realistically, what what
Travis is doing? Man, you can't can't look at it
and look, look you're talking on lineman, right, So I
understand what those linemen have been doing for for that
running back for I get it, I get it all.
I just I just think that what Travis has done
is just Man, do you think if.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You think of me, if he was on an SEC team,
that John t would be more of a case to
be at least number one for the Heisman if he's
in a league like that.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
If if he put up twenty five hundred and the
Big Ten or the SEC without a doubt, yeah. I
mean you got to look at a little a little harder, right,
you can't hold a guy. I'm a guy that believes
you can't hold a guy, you know, at fault for
where he has to play, right.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Nobody gave this dude a chance.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And I get there's guarantee you there's other colleges going like, man,
we should have signed that dude, you know, and they're
fired and the guy is bad. He's a he's a
I think he'll be a great NFL back't.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Terrible first running back taken probably by the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
From but he should be a number one back taken.
And look, you have to think that he's a high second.
It probably will be the closest match or race in
the Heisman that's probably ever happened in history.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It's gonna be that tight.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
But when I say that tight, I mean it's gonna
be like votes, like two or three votes, you know,
like it's gonna be really really close.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Wow, what a trip. All right, Let's get to the
NFL real quick.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Some of the teams that have been eliminated in the
a f C. The Jets, Raiders, Browns, Jags, Titans, and Patriots.
It's in probably next week or this week coming up,
Danny's Bengals will be.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Out to.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Oh God, just let it go, dude. Is time for
a new team.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So let me ask you, is Derek uh I mentioned
the Jets first Rogers?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Is he done in New York? And is he done
in the NFL?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I believe he's done in New York. NFL wise, there's
always somebody wanting to pay a guy like him.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Go away, you're born, You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I think I can.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I think he tried to come back just so he
didn't end on an injury, is what I believe.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I think he'll walk off, And I.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Said, I think so. I think he's I think he's gone.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
And it doesn't look like he's enjoying himself anymore, is
what it looks like. It looks like he's having a
difficult time. He's not happy, he's he's getting hit like crazy.
His offensive line isn't when it when I think what
he thought it was going to be picked up to.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They picked up Moses and they picked up Tyron Smith
and both yet hurt.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
But they both got they go were injured, and he's
been taking a beating.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's ugly.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That whole remember that picture with him with his helmet
turned around. That's just kind of freaking season all right.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Coming to the seasoning up.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
This Thursday night, the Niners are hosting the Rams at
Levi Stadium. What's amazing to me is the NFC West
is still wide open. It is definitely the NFC worst
right now. It's kind of like the NFC West is
like a hot potato. It's kind of like you want
first place. No, I don't know, you take it, I
don't want it. There are four teams. You've got Arizona,
you got the Niners, you got the Rams, and you
(18:33):
got the Seahawks. If somebody could win that with eight wins?
What what is going on with the NFC West.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, first of all, I want to talk about the
Niners a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Niners have they can't lose a game. No.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
The prom that they have is after you play the Rams,
who they lost to already, Yeah, you then have to
turn around and play the Dolphins. Then turn around and
you have to play the Lions.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Oh geez.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, So that's a rough one right now.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I mean, we know the Lions are coming with some avengeance,
right because what happened with the NFC Championship game and
so forth.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I don't think they beat the Rams because of Puka
Nicua and a Cupback both the game changers, both of them,
I mean game changers.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But the thing is is, like you have to you
have to assume that that when the Niners are at home,
right and two, the Rams are coming off of the
Rams are coming off of a big win. It is
a tough game. For the tough game. They beat them up.
They played they played some yeah, but they played some
physical football, so maybe. And it's a short week form
(19:37):
off of a game like that. So so the Niners
have a little bit of an advantage, right, and and
so you have to think, like, man, they know they
can't lose any games. Yeah, and but Seattle taking off
like crazy, right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
No, They're defense is playing well to Seattle's defense.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
You know the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Ah agree.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Let me ask you this, if have you seen this
kid on the Rams, this Jared Verse, Oh my god,
he is a beast. Now, nobody's ever going to replace
Aaron Donnell. Of course on the Rams defensive line. He's
a he's a defensive end. For those of you who
haven't watched the Rams, that kid is going to be
a badass.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
He's going to be good, really good moves, his moves,
his speed, his strength, I mean he's all over the place.
He's got a good technique Florida leverage. Yeah, and he's
got he's got a motor. Yeah, and that's the good
thing about him. I think that could give the Niners
a little bit of trouble, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So yeah, they've got It just.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Depends what's gonna happen with Trent, you know, if he's
coming back this week or not.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You know, everything, it's it's rough for him, It's really rough.
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
The other thing is is how do how do you
how do you know? Your years going bad? So you
lose one back and you put him on I R
you bring another one in, right, everybody in their grandmother
picks this guy up, that is and then he is hurt.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, Jordan Mason and then he got he got what's
the other kid, Guerrero gre Yeah yeah, Garrel.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
He's the one that everybody picked up last week. Yeah,
I know, I know, we're just sitting.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
In the last bit, Like I got the last bit
right here, and I can spind I'm gonna get guarrel
because I know he's gonna get a lot of carries.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I want to ask you, Derek, being a former player
in the NFL, I want to ask you about what's
going on with the Eagles right now. The drama uh
with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
There was some A J.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Brown came out in the I guess the media, and
I don't know if he said something about he said
the passing game I think was our problem or we're
not good enough. They are thirtieth in the NFL in
passing yards this season. And then Brandon Graham, who's on
I R by the Way, was on his radio show
and he said the Eagles passing attack has been off,
(21:50):
and he also said something about the relationship between Jaelen
Hurts and A J. Brown has changed. They used to
be friends. Now we're not sure, but he's walking it
back now. He said, I made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I assumed.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Do you think a team which has got an incredible
back at take one Barkley was probably gonna break that record.
Do you think being thirtieth in the NFL in passing
yards and passing do they really even have a shot
to win the Super Bowl or at least get.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
There, you have a shot.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
The problem is is that most teams that are lopsided
on one side of the ball means their defense is
like in the top two or three in the league. Right,
So you normally have an offense that's balanced closer to balance, fifty,
closer to fifty to fifty. You know, maybe it maybe
(22:35):
fifty five to forty five, right, and you have a
passing attack that's going.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
But let's not forget.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
You can look back to last year when Aj Brown
was having a little difficulty with hurts, right, and he
wasn't throwing them in the ball, right, he got upset
about that. It's not a big deal. It's not a
big deal. No, it was a big deal then and
it's a big deal now. And I think it caused
some problems because Aj got paid off of million him
the ball and then all of a sudden, now you're
(23:03):
not throwing him.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The ball, getting all the getting more of the love, right,
I mean.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
I know, but but but at the same time, you
still got to keep a balanced offense.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I get. I think they're trying to.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I think they're proving to the proving Their point with
Sakwan is that he's not washed up, he's not done,
and they got a chance to do something really special
with him this year that hasn't been done since what
Eric Dickerson, Right, So so now you're looking at that
and he's got a chance to break that record.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I mean, you got to take a chance for it.
You got to know it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't know, maybe maybe killing Moore, the new offensive
coordinator's got something to do with this as well.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
And it's not on.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It's not you know, he gotta make the calls exactly
to make the calls.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
But and and but let's just be let's just be honest,
Like he doesn't make the calls, but when he does
have the calls that should be coming, he knows the
ball should be gone. Quarterbacks know how to get the
ball spread around. You know when it's supposed to get
spread around. They know when it's not. And and that
was a you know, that was an issue when you
think back when I played and we had John Taylor,
(24:06):
you had Brent Jones, you had Jerry Rice, right, you
had Ricky Waters.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Oh man, so you got to all these guys got
to get the ball. Yeah, they're gonna get they get they.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Know, they know what games that you know, we know
what games John's gonna that j T was going to
get the rock. We knew what games and it was
going to be, and Jerry knew. And there was games
where Jerry's like, Yo, this is my game. I know
I'm getting it. We ain't got to discuss the other
you know, thirteen games or or twelve games.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So as he is a former NFL player that goes
on that, they the whole team knows, Hey, man, he's
the man.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
He's the man, get the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Okay, you know who's the man on your team? You
know who's the guy.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Look Ricky. Ricky wanted the ball. He wanted to run
the rock, you know, thirty times a game. He was
getting thirty touches or fifteen or twenty touches every game,
but he was getting it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Was like fifteen of them were passes, right.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And then like maybe if you're lucky you get ten ten,
uh ten or fifteen rushes, but he wants thirty rushes.
That wouldn't So then they end up giving it to
him one game and he he and he I think
he went over two hundred some yards.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Is like, well, then that's why I should get it
every game.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Well, they were going to do that every game ballas said, one,
it doesn't allow the other guys to get the rock
because it runs clock right, and and two they just
didn't think he could take the pounding.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
But he went He left us and went to Philly,
and he could. He showed he could do it there,
and left Philly, went to went to Seattle, showed he
could do it there.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Wow, that's ready was on the he was on the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I forgot about that, correct, And so he showed that
he could do that. He rushed for a thousand over
one thousand every place he went.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Right, he was he was a beast, so he was.
He was a monster. But you have to figure out
how to how to spread that rock around.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, So you know, if you're just tuning in,
this is Doghouse Sports. We're on iHeart Sports bay Area
and the iHeart Radio app. Make sure when you're listening
you tell friends about it, said the Doghouse would Elvis
and Derek Deezer back, we're talking sports. We're having fun.
We're gonna blow this thing up for iHeart Sports bay Area.
Finally here on this show. The NFL Draft, of course,
(26:10):
is my Christmas I live for the draft. I have
no girlfriend because the NFL is my girlfriend. Sad but
true Raiders right now have the number one overall pick,
and there's been talks that coach Prime wants to do
her to be in Vegas and they all he also
wants them to draft his son Shiloh. Why would he
want to come to a team that does not have
(26:33):
a proven record of being able to develop quarterbacks? Why
would they want to come here? Why wouldn't he want
to go to a team? I guess it depends on
who's gonna be offensive coordinator and who the new staff is.
But Antonio Pierce is not that guy in my opinion.
Why would he want to come here just for because
it's the Raiders?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I think I think you guys look at Antonio Pierce
in the wrong light a little bit.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I'm just going by wins. He's got two of this year.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
You can but but he's got two wins this year,
But he has no quarterback. So that's that's not that's
not beat him up on that because it's not his fault.
He wanted a quarterback. He wanted a quarterback, and he
was willing to give up everything to get him or
bone knicks.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And he was giving up a kidney. He said he
left kidney did for he.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Was going to and guess what, the GM said no
and no, and it caused a fight. He almost knocked
him out.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So you don't fight with.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That's the problem. And so they had to grab him
and hold him back and all that because he was like,
you're setting me up for failure. And that's exactly what happened.
He got set up for failure. Well, guess what, you
got to give him a quarterback. We see what happens
without one. Without a quarterback, he lost his best receiver.
Now all of a sudden, you gotta get he's got
to get a receiver. He's got to get a quarterback.
(27:52):
And and and look, it's not him that's doing the developing.
If you look who he surrounds himself with. He's surrounding
himself with pretty good people, right well, and he doesn't.
And here's the thing, if he doesn't, he's not he's
not really afraid to just say, hey, you gotta go Marvin.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Why is it Marvin Lewis moved more to an offensive
role with this team. I mean, he's on the staff
and he.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Isn't We don't know how much consulting he's actually doing.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Right, I hopefully not. There's another Bengals. There's another Bengal
Danny Marvin Lewis who's like in the back, you know,
just making making not making moves.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Well, uh, that's interesting because you know with the Raiders
being number one, and then they're saying, like the Giants
could be right there as well. You know, whoever is
number one, they're probably gonna take you do her Sanders right,
he's probably the number one overall. Pick him or Camboard.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Well, it depends, No, it depends if those two are there.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yes, but if you if you get a team that
you get a team, right, you get a team that
trades up, that doesn't need that they need they need
a receiver slash dB GB slash receiver slash winner, yeah,
slash whatever you want me to do, return kids, return pints,
whatever I got you. You know, guy that can stay
on the field all day and all night, the Heisman guy.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Not a problem. Don't get mad Danny. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
I like the fact that he can do both, but
the question is can you do it at the pro level?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Oh? Yeah, it looks like.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
This kid works his butt off, and he works hard,
and he's very humble. He's not really cocky. He knows,
he knows who he is right, and he's been trained.
And look, he's the first one to tell you. As
a freshman in high school, he was terrible, really and
he said, he said, I told the guy who was
training me, Hey, I'm going to be the hardest worker
(29:39):
and the best guy you've ever trained.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And that's what he went out to do. And that's
what he's done. Now.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
If you ask him about the Heisman, he'll tell you
right away, the Heisman was not my dream. My dream
was to be number one.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Wow.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
