FanHouse HausCast

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

Jerry Rice needs no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway: the guy was a decent NFL wide receiver over his 21-year career, winning multiple Super Bowls and setting a few records en route to becoming the G.O.A.T.

So, when the kind folks at Gillette offered FanHouse the chance to speak with Rice, we jumped at the opportunity. We got his thoughts on the state of the 49ers and Raiders, and specifically their new rookie wideouts, Michael Crabtree and Darius Heyward-Bey.

Talking after the jump.

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

The British Open starts Thursday morning (very, very early if you're in the States), and that means a British Open podcast is in order. In a predictable turn of events, Will and Ryan talk Tiger Woods, then discuss what it means that no one will be able to see most of his first round on their TVs (although, for those of you with something more than a dial-up connection, there's this*).

Also on the agenda: the other guys in the field who have a chance, and why that list doesn't include Padraig Harrington (or John Daly, which is obvious to everybody but Brinson), as well as some sleeper picks, courtesy of Shane Bacon.

Talking starts after the jump.

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

Stephanie Stradley has been with FanHouse since its inception, and Thursday night might have been the lowlight of her internet career: she joined Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson on HouseCast.

Actually, Stephanie's a lawyer in real life so we decided to have her on to talk about two of her recent posts: Tweeting with T.O., and Donte Stallworth's plea deal. And while the Stallworth news has obvious legal implications, so does T.O. TweeterGate.

Stephanie also talks about the Twitter phenomenon -- especially among athletes -- the differences between the Stallworth and Vick cases, the prospects for the Texans in 2009, and, of course, Brett Favre. (Seriously.)

Fun starts after the jump.
