    If it's his dog, why is the title Jerry Rice and Nitus' Dog football? Saying "Nitus' Dog" suggests that Nitus is the owner of the dog.

    That grammar is correct. The alternative would be Nitus's, which is incorrect.

    I thought it had some thing to do with Jonny Unitas. But he probably just named his dog after Jonny Unitas.

    The possessive s is for "Dog Football" not just dog. The title is correct. The Dog Football belongs to both Jerry Rice and Nitus.

    I thought it meant you had to use those Zerg worm things to transport the dogs around the map.

    So I'm french and all so at first I didn't even know what a Jerry Rice was. Turns out he's one of (or the one) best NFL players of all time. Can anyone tell me why he's coaching dog football now? Or why he tried to play golf and came in 151st out of 152 out of some kind of preliminary tournament? Why didn't he just stop with sports after he retired
