In this lively episode of Bulldog and Friends, host Bulldog catches up with two longtime friends from Texas, Brent and Jimmy, who share their journey from the "Golden Ghetto" of Almaden Valley to the heart of the Lone Star State. They dive into family updates, the joys of grandparenting, and their contrasting approaches to retirement—whether it’s traveling the world or enjoying the simple pleasures of home. The conversation then shifts to football, as the trio breaks down the San Francisco 49ers' rollercoaster season, the impact of injuries, and the ever-changing dynamics of the NFL. From there, they tackle the explosive topic of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) in college sports, debating its long-term implications and the need for structure in what has become a free-agency-style landscape for student-athletes. Closing out the show, they discuss the electric energy of the recent World Hockey tournament, the passion of Canadian fans, and what other sports can learn from its success. Plus, a powerful call to action to support Saving Innocence, an organization fighting against child sex trafficking. A mix of sports, politics, and humor—this episode is a must-listen for fans of real talk and real camaraderie.
