FAMILIA FFB

Devouring the sports page as a kid in Oxnard, Omar Ruiz wanted a career in sports. At first he wanted to play baseball, but when that didn’t work out he took a swing at broadcasting. We cover Omar’s rise through college, smaller markets to where today he’s one of the voices on #NFL Network. Staying true to his family and his Latino roots have kept him grounded and grateful for all the success he’s...

When 8 of the Top 10 QBs in 2020 all showed good running ability, maybe it’s time to stop waiting on QB until late in drafts. Los primos take a look at how the industry picked QBs earlier in drafts last year than in the past. They also discuss the growing power of superstars in the NFL, especially QBs. There’s also some breaking Chisme with the trade of Carson Wentz to the Colts. They even have a...

Sam Farmer has been the lead NFL columnist for LA Times for more than two decades, and he and Jorge go way back to the late 1980s when they were both cutting their teeth as young sportswriters.

Sam also shared about his role in helping keep the light on for the NF...

For the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, everyone is good. Even the defenses. So los primos go in-depth on both sides of the ball in breaking down all 4 games, and some players who you might think are good plays might not be so great for #DFS this week. Is Tom Brady one of them? They also talk a little about who the #Chingon players were in the college football title game (hint: Devonta Smith...

Recapping Wednesday NFL action made los primos wonder what happens on 3rd dates, they share betting locks of the week and preview part of the Sunday action.

Week 12 was one of those weekends where if you have hair (unlike Jorge and Ricky), you'd be pulling it out. Now it's time to pick up the pieces and look to grab some players for the upcoming playoffs. We also get into Chisme, which has all the important news you'll need for the days ahead.
