Podcast appearances and mentions of Darius Anderson

To start off the first hour of Vanessa and Gallant they discuss last nights Home Run Derby and how electric it was, they also touch on the MLB All Star game and what they expect to see during tonight's game. Next they touch on Texans running back, Darius Anderson who was recently charged with a very hard case, they also touch on the current legal situations of Deshaun Watson. They then go deeper into the NFL and talk all tings NFL and some recent news around the league. 

Should a political lobbyist and real estate investor also be the owner of a major regional newspaper that happens to have bought up the most of the competition? Northern California's Sonoma County provides a case study: lobbyist/investor Darius Anderson is also a principal owner of the county's largest and primary daily newspaper for all of Northern California (and most of its other print media too). Today's guests are longtime independent, investigative reporters Will Carruthers and Peter Byrne. They return to the program to discuss their recent reporting which further examines some of Anderson's ethically-questionable activities, and why the people of the area are likely to be kept uninformed about them. Then Peter Byrne stays for the second half of the program, and explains the now-widespread and dubious practice of "native advertising:” advertisements in the format of news stories, sometimes written by the newspaper's own reporters, thereby pulling down the traditional 'firewall' between the editorial and business sides of journalism. Notes: Will Carruthers is a staff reporter for the North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun weekly newspapers, serving Northern California's Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties. He has two recent articles on Darius Anderson's dealings involving a local rail agency; they can be read here. Peter Byrne is an investigative journalist who has written on a wide array of topics, from science and medicine to public finance. Byrne's work can be found here.

1. Yesterday, the Broncos traded the 4th-round pick they acquired from the 49ers in the Emmanuel Sanders trade to the Jaguars for CB A.J. Bouye. It was a move that makes sense on the surface given that Bouye likely would’ve commanded a higher salary if he was released plus the fact Chris Harris, Jr. is likely headed elsewhere in free agency. What are your thoughts on this trade and based on what you’ve seen on film so far, how much does Bouye bring to the Broncos secondary? 2. Of all the Broncos in-house free agents, retaining All Pro S Justin Simmons is the team’s top priority. All signs point to him getting the franchise tag by the March 12 deadline next week. That said, every player who’s received the tag under John Elway’s stewardship of the front office eventually ended up getting a long-term deal. Do you anticipate a similar outcome with Simmons or do you have a feeling this case could be different? 3. Some other notable Broncos coming out of contract include Derek Wolfe, Shelby Harris, and Will Parks. Which one of those three SHOULD the Broncos re-sign, in your view? 4. What outside free agents do you anticipate the Broncos signing? 5. Aside from the A.J. Bouye trade, the biggest move the Broncos have made so far this offseason was parting ways with OC Rich Scangarello and hiring former Giants HC Pat Shurmur in his place. You seemed initially skeptical about this hire, and while caution is recommended since nothing is a guarantee to work out, are there any legitimate reasons to believe Shurmur could very well be the guy to develop Drew Lock into a legit starter and make this Broncos offense into a much more fearsome unit? 6. Which player do you think will have the biggest leap under Pat Shurmur? 7. Broncos 7-Round Mock Draft -(15): Henry Ruggs -(46): Denzel Mims -(77): Ezra Cleveland -(83): Darnay Holmes -(95): Akeem Davis-Gaither -(108): Damien Lewis -(161): Terrell Burgess -(214): Darius Anderson

It will be another test Saturday for the Texas Longhorns as they travel to Fort Worth to take on the TCU Horned Frogs, a team that Texas has struggled against in recent history. The Horned Frogs have done a good job leaning on their ground game, ranking No. 12 in the country in rushing offense, thanks to the potent combination of Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua. How will the struggling Texas defense try to slow down the talented Horned Frogs duo? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

Highlights, and interviews with head coach Gary Patterson, defensive back Trevon Moehrig, and running back Darius Anderson following TCU's 51-14 win over Kansas.

Zero Purdue rushing yards through three quarters defined TCU's dominance over the Boilermakers on Satruday night, as it seems the Frogs have captured another level of magic on defense.  Meanwhile, the running game is hitting on all cylinders, as Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua plowed through Purdue's defense.  Big questions remain about the quarterback situation, but it seems the odds are tilting in Max Duggan's favor, for now.  The real question though, that Melissa and Jamie debate, is whether there's still value in playing SMU every year.  Check it all out in this week's episode of the Frogs O' War podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices.
