    This one is at home so they should be prepared and well rested. Probably come out shooting lights out.
    I figure the defense will kick it up a notch as well.

    It’s more of a Wallstreet/investing joke. I had figured you older folk would know who he is lol.

    Jim Cramer-Mad Money. He’s the crazy dude who screams about what stock he’s buying, suppose to be a guru. But the running joke is, you do the opposite of what he does, because the stocks he says to buy tanks after he says it, or takes off when he says it’s trash.

    Buuuut now it’s not funny because I explained it.

    They won't notice in the least. Did someone indicate it would?

    I didn't recognize him at first until you posted this! It's funny to me now....I don't follow football so I don't know a lot of the brass, figured he was an owner or something. I'd recognize Cramer's voice if I was in another room probably better than his face.

    That’s hilarious that you would recognize him by his voice better than his face. But knowing who Cramer is, I can totally see how that could be the case LOL.
