Before we get into today's Mailbag edition of Draft Class, let me tell you about what's going on

at the Ringer. On the site, you can find a great piece by copy editor to Jack McCullesky

on how Terry Orzeer aka Skurry Terry got to where he is now. Also, the Ringer podcast network has

a ton of shows to listen to, including the Dave Chang Show, the second episode of which went up

yesterday. In the first part of that, Dave and our boss, Bill Simmons, talk about how NBA players

would fare his chefs. It's a fun one. Please go check that out and while you're at it, please go

check out our new merch on theringer.com slash shop. You can pre-order MeloThon T-shirts inspired by

Tuesday's NBA desktop episode and which we put on a telephone to buy out Carmelo Anthony's $28

million contract. Go purchase that on theringer.com slash shop. And now it's time for Draft Class.

explain this little inside joke. People have been calling me popular writer Danny Chow for the past

like week or two. And Eater LA article on David Chang's new Ringer podcast, the David Chang show,

was written and it had mentioned me as a reason for our sites kind of expanding food coverage.

And I was called a popular writer in that piece. I've been mocked mercilessly in my personal and

professional life ever since. I think the funny thing too is like we're moving into the food space.

I like how they phrase that. We're in the draft space here on this podcast. Danny recently
