Phil Mushnick takes on Jim Cramer's new fantasy football nonsense.
CNBC stock tout Jim Cramer is now fronting an NFL Fantasy gambling subscription service. Cramer’s past sports winner was Lenny Dykstra, who, with Mike Francesa and Chris Russo, he anointed an investment genius — before Dykstra was arrested, convicted and incarcerated for fraud.
Cramer does a good job when he's talking in generalities to those looking to get into retirement investing. Otherwise, meh. He fellates every CEO he has on Mad Money. Guessing he's gonna love all 32 NFL head coaches now.

Saving Ryan Ruocco: Is there no one at YES capable of sparing Ruocco from himself? If only he’d relax, stop reaching for dubious stats and trite descriptions of the evident — “flashing the leather,” “motors into third,” “takes him yard” — and cease trying to force interest among those already watching.
Monday, after Aaron Judge took a ball low on a 2-2 pitch, Ruocco, during a close-up on Judge, reported “a little smile from Aaron Judge.”
So little only Ruocco saw it. No such thing occurred.
Bingo.
Funny asides: When Mike Francesa appeared on CNBC's Fast Money Halftime Report back in September of 2017 he was 'big into NVIDIA Corporation.' NVDA was at 197.96 that day. Today? 154.18, as expected. More recently, 7/25/19, Mike Tweeted:
On the investment front, smart time to be picking up Slack (WORK) and putting it away.

Slack Technologies was at $34.10 that day. $30.78 today.
A 9.7% loss.
