Switching into Airplane Mode (Guest: Chris Raybon)

Host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in guest Chris Raybon (@ChrisRaybon) of the Action Network, who recently wrote a mini-memoir titled “How I Quit My Accounting Job and Got Paid to Watch Sports.” He talks about leaving the world accounting, geeking out on Strat-O-Matic Football, and having his introduction to Madden 2004 thwarted by a girl and a blackout. Chris and Pat then discuss some fantasy football philosophy. Namely: How much do offensive systems matter, and do defenses really matter? Why is Chris sometimes referred to as “Young Airplane Mode”? He explains the nickname, he talks about a recent weekend in the wilderness and the ensuing quest for a Wi-Fi signal, and then he lists his top three hip-hop artists (plus a few honorable mentions) and tells us where he stands on Kanye West. Chris and Pat wrap up the show by discussing what sort of effect Mark Ingram’s return will have on Alvin Kamara, whether Odell Beckham Jr. owners should be nervous, and whether Alshon Jeffery’s triumphant return is legit.
