Welcome to Says Who Sports, where the game is about cutting through the media noise and manufactured controversy to deliver authentic, smart, and candid analysis of college and professional sports. 

Says Who Sports is a podcast hosted by John Dauphin, who has interviewed and written about legends like Bob Knight, Bobby Bowden, Roy Williams, and Roger Clemens. Dauphin has written for The Plain Dealer and The Columbus Dispatch and wrote and directed Winning Lives: The Story of Ted Ginn Sr., a documentary about the acclaimed high school football coach and his impact on inner-city kids in Cleveland. 

Born and raised in Ohio, Dauphin grew up on the Ohio State Buckeyes and Big Red Machine and has been immersed in the sports world his whole life.

He has witnessed the collapse of sports media into a mess of recycled narratives presented as “stories,” often lacking context or truth. The rush by reporters to be first to the digital finish line in a desperate search for clicks has left a huge void in meaningful sports coverage. 

Dauphin believes fans deserve better. 

He and his co-host, Phil Dauphin, a former professional baseball player who had a game-winning hit for the Chicago Cubs, offer fresh perspective and unique insight on the stories that matter.
