  • Bruins Cut Mitchell Miller | Patriots Fans Need To Enjoy Wins | Josh Allen Injury
    2022/11/08
    On this episode of Ray’s Sports Rant I talk about how I refuse to applaud Cam Neely and the Boston Bruins for releasing Mitchell Miller. Miller never should have been signed in the first place. The New England Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and Pats Nation isn’t satisfied with the win. Winning is hard in the NFL and fans need to just enjoy it. The Buffalo Bills had a rough go in New York Sunday when they dropped their game to the Jets. Josh Allen didn’t have his best game and he suffered an elbow injury. Stefon Diggs says that Bills players are rallying around him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Matt Judon | Astros & Dusty Baker | Alphonso Davies | Bills Lose | Sports Aren’t Important
    2022/11/07
    During the New England Patriots 2021 free agency blitz, I proudly boasted that I believed Matt Judon was Bill Belichick’s best signing. Judon has already reached double digit sacks in the 2022 NFL season, and my original take seems to be correct. The Houston Astros were the best team in baseball this season and they topped it off by winning the World Series. It was done without any cheating scandals and it finally gave Dusty Baker his championship. Canada had a scare on Saturday when Alphonso Davies left Bayern Munich’s game early with an apparent hamstring injury. The country let out a big breath on Sunday when it was reported by Bayern that Davies' World Cup was not in jeopardy. On Sunday I made another trip to the Bills Helmet Bar to hang out with Bills Mafia and watch Buffalo take on the New York Jets. New York was successful and it appears they have figured out the formula to defeat Josh Allen.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • FIFA Corrupt AF | Alphonso Davies | Mitch Miller | Cole Beasley | Bill Belichick | Bills Bandwagon
    2022/11/06
    This episode of Ray’s Sports Rant got animated when I discussed FIFA, Cole Beasley, and Mitchell Miller.FIFA is the most corrupt governing body in sports, and they have a big problem. After cutting a deal to give Qatar the World Cup, everything has blown up in their face. From the protests against Qatar to moving the World Cup to November, major stars risk missing the most significant tournament. Alphonso Davies and Lionel Messi top the list. The Boston Bruins took the NHL and hockey ten years back when they offered Mitch Miller a contract on Friday. Miller had been charged and convicted of racially profiling a classmate, using racial slurs, and bullying. Another dark day for a sport with an ugly culture. Cole Beasley is back on Twitter. After not posting for a month, Beasley sent out Tweets supporting Kyrie Irving and showed his disdain that professional athletes could not use antisemitic rhetoric. Maybe that wasn’t the point he was trying to make, but it’s how it came across.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Kyle Dubas Built A Team of Babies, So Sheldon Keefe will lose his job. Pretty Cool, Eh Leafs Fans?
    2022/11/02
    A lot of Leafs fans are expecting Toronto to fire Keefe if the Leafs play poorly against the Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday night. However, I’m on the let’s hold players accountable train right now. Toronto’s biggest stars have been garbage, and instead of holding their feet to the fire, people are calling for Keefe’s head.  When you have the type of payroll Toronto does, and you have some of the best players on your roster, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck could coach this team. Without knowing anything, I would guess that a lot of the problems are coming from upper management. A couple of weeks ago, Keefe called out Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews, and Marner’s response led to Keefe walking back his comments. Saturday night Marner was benched for a shift, and he acted like a baby. Kyle Dubas traded away grit and built a team of babies, and now Sheldon Keefe may lose his job over it. Cool beans.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Burning Leafs Jerseys is The Dumbest Trend in Sports
    2022/11/01
    If you're somebody who burns a jersey I have just one question to ask you; how much money do you make that you have burning jerseys money? https://twitter.com/fakenewsshater/status/1586914182347513856?s=20&t=sS4nz_TVhgnnmEgbhBPKNA  I don’t think the guy who posted the video was actually the one who burned the jersey. But somebody did. I have never understood the burning jersey craze. My first memory of it happening was when LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat. When it happened I found it kind of interesting. However we live in a copycat world where people need to take an organic moment and turn it into a trend. Anyways, I think burning jerseys is just stupid.  It doesn’t matter how poorly a team I cheer for performs, there is nothing that could happen on the field that would ever force me to burn a jersey. I work too hard and don’t have the money to burn a jersey. If I wanted to waste $200 I would just throw a stack of twenties into the fire pit. Leafs fans have clearly been through a lot, but I’m not letting this person off the hook. It’s just dumb and you look dumb.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Let’s Start The “Terry Francona To Toronto” Conversation
    2022/10/20
    Terry Francona could hit the open market, and the Blue Jays need to keep an open mind.  Despite the Toronto Blue Jays disappointing postseason exit, John Schneider deserves to be Toronto’s manager next season. However, the more Francona’s name gets floated around, it becomes an exciting conversation.  Cleveland was bounced from the playoffs on Tuesday night, and Francona should be blamed for the loss. Starting Aaron Civale over Shane Bieber in an elimination game against the New York Yankees is unforgivable. However, Francona has built enough credibility not to let that decision stain his legacy. In reality, Francona led a young Cleveland team to the ALDS and pushed the Evil Empire to the brink of elimination. Francona has led Cleveland to a World Series appearance, and his time with the Boston Red Sox is well documented.  The Blue Jays would be bringing in a champion. Toronto would have a manager who can handle prominent personalities and demand respect from his players. Francona is a free agent. Don’t discount his history with Mark Schapiro. This would be a significant off-season move for the Blue Jays brass. Ross Atkins and Schapiro would bring a bonafide star to lead the Blue Jays. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Origin Story of Bills Mafia
    2022/10/17
    No name fits a fan base more than Bills Mafia.  The Buffalo Bills have the most rabid fan base in all of sports. Throughout a 17 year playoff drought they remained fiercely loyal and supported their team. Whether you cheer for the Bills or not, you can’t deny that they are deserving of the success they are experiencing today.  From pounding Labbat’s to jumping through tables, Bills fans leave a unique mark everywhere they go. They’ve simply become known as the Bills Mafia. While other team's supporters take on cliche names like Pats Nation, Raiders Nation, Blue Jays Nation, and whatever other Nation you want to include. Buffalo adopted Mafia. A lifestyle of “us vs the world”. A fan base that instead of mocking an injured player; unite and make dontions in that players name.  So while it was fun to mock them when Buffalo was the laughing stock of the NFL, their loyalty has paid off. All we can do is watch in envy as the greatest fan base in the NFL enjoys watching the best team in football.  But where did the name Bills Mafia come from? It turns out Bills Mafia was coined when a group of Bills fans banned together to defend a Buffalo player who made a costly mistake that cost the Bills the game.  This is the Bills Mafia origin story.
