Three months ago, we made some new friends at the first annual "BlazerCon" in Brooklyn. But nothing could ever top this: a private sit-down with the man who once said of Lionel Messi that "he wears the number ten, but it should be a bio-hazard sign."
We spoke just hours before Ray had to catch a plane to the Santiago Bernabeu to call the most recent Clásico, a 4-0 thrashing by Barcelona on November 21st. Life got in the way of us posting in time for that showdown, but Ray's balletic flights of verbal fancy are entirely non-perishable.
