Christian Durant, it’s free until you hit your limit or you stop paying the bills. so when you say “free money”, that to me sounds like you’re going to max out cards on worthless shit within 1 billing period. what kind of person would do that?
The fact that the friend he made never lied about him using his identity is more of a story than him lying to play for the love of football again. Literally no crime was committed since the friend gave him the right to take his name, and then this man did right by him and not fuck over his life while doing it. Now that's the real story, that's a true friend for life bro.
scott šzabo ahhh you gotta love that talent overseas that absolutely dominate and the only problem is no one has any idea how old they are and they don’t actually know the rules of basketball shout out thon maker
Most of the “overseas” players are college age (the legit ones) 18-22. The NBA, n NCAA scouts know what’s up by now. You can’t just come out of no where anymore. That guy wasn’t on the pro or college radar. If he was legit he wouldn’t have had to fake it.
Man, Ron was ready to play football until he wasn’t able to anymore, even if it was only at the college level. I respect that man. I’m glad he was able to get one last chance to have some fun playing football before he got too old lol.
I've never actually heard that story. I give the man mad respect. He didn't hurt anyone. And when he got his second chance, he made the absolute most out of it! Good shit Ron! Salute!
What you do is amazing with these videos and I legitimately need someone to watch one and give you some type of segment of fox sports, CBS, or even ESPN. These videos are interesting and I learn a lot. This is almost like 30 for 30 on UA-cam. I respect your hustle
Lmao half your viewers don’t know that classic song you quoted in the opening segment and how many spin offs have even been made off it... good job FlemLo
Im not gonna lie, ended up here on autoplay, had suggestions before to sub and never did because I thought a channel named FlemLoRaps wouldn't be my cup as a 40 year old vet, husband and father that only pays attention to college football, but this channel is amazing man. You're easily the most insightful channel on the subject of the psychology and sheer understanding of it all. All 4 of the vids Ive seen now have made me understand football just a little better. Thanks
This content is so GREAT! I hope you make it big time. You are ELP researched, capture the humanity of these stories, the lessons learned but don’t get lost in some agenda. This is what docuseries are supposed to be. I hope you get bigger and bigger and after ESPN collapses you fill that void immediately
This is what college football is all about. Playing for the love of the game. He may have not been a starter, but the guy had impeccable character and a true love for the game of football. Hopefully UT goes to the Sugar Bowl again sometime soon and invites this guy for a halftime recognition for his dedication and love of the sport.
Your unique approach to storytelling, writing, and presentation in these videos is some of the best the internet has to offer. Keep doing what you do bro, and I hope it brings you way more success (and followers)
I've seen a couple of your features. I must say, you are a very good story teller with fascinating subjects. Obviously you worked hard on these stories and your research on your subjects are top notch. I look forward to watching more of your sports stories.
You totally rite also about people getting away from there sport for a while and realizing once they healed up and had a chance to sit back and learn the game a little more and they a little quicker and faster and simply better than they thought. Good point! Great job with this channel. I dont kno why I never found it till recently but this my new favorite sports type channel. I love learning all this stuff I never had any idea about in the sporting world. Subd and always thumbs up!
Bruh you know what you doing making these videos 10-15 minutes we ALWAYS want more so you FORCE us to watch the next episode and it’s ALWAYS FIRE🔥 salute bro !
You know Flemlo, you are top shelf ! Your skills are well off the chart. You tell it the way it is. Good or bad with even uncomfortable shit with professionalism. I enjoy your videos thank you for being a strait up man !
My Dad was a regional manager for a chain restaurant 20 years ago and one of his managers under him was Ron Weaver. It was crazy hearing his story growing up.
You are one of my favorite creator's on UA-cam! Watching one of your videos always improves my mood and helps me strive to be a better person. I initially discovered your content because of the AFL. I look forward to more videos and hope you cover the XFL in similar fashion. *Q the Wayne*!!!
Yo FlemLo I just want to say I really like your videos I’ve been watching you for years and all that last chance U stuff and following players and all that, I really like, as a former football player slash fan , it’s your UA-cam channel that really makes me appreciate life and where football really lead me, all that stuff made me a better person in every way, your a true baller and keep up the good work, don’t ever give up on your passion!
Hah that’s crazy! The guy who you showed at the end who was one of his team mates coached at my high school a couple years after I graduated. I immediately recognized him and the Reagan shirt he was wearing (the light blue shirt with the R on it)...
LMAO! You a foo fa dat 1 But Great intro Flem LoSki This dude is a real G. He did whatever he had to do for his true love. Salute to him. Respect Due. That was a Great, spot on intro.
This needs to be a movie except it would encourage others to try it because we see it basketball more often but he didnt start at any position that won any games so I love this story. And if I could I would have done it! If you have ever ran out of the tunnel to hear an entire stadium cheering for you and your brothers then you know why everyone misses it so much.
You need a podcast interviewing some of these dudes. That would be dope!
Kristian Galvan that's a good idea bruh
That's a really good idea everybody like this
Kristian Galvan I’d love to see a kevin hart podcast
I would listen
80% of the time he would’ve started both ways for the oilers
I have respect for this guy he got someone's identity with their permission and didn't go crazy with all that free money
@Tay McCall having another line of credit is essentially like free money. he could have go financed a TV and never made any payments or something
A free line of credit=unlimited opportunities to fuck up a lot if money...
Tay McCall, Babylon debt.. look it up..
Christian Durant, it’s free until you hit your limit or you stop paying the bills. so when you say “free money”, that to me sounds like you’re going to max out cards on worthless shit within 1 billing period.
what kind of person would do that?
20 yr old black guy. Lol zero money. Parents I mean his mom probably used his ss since birth
were starting to creep up on 500k subs...thank yall for all the support on the vids 🙏🙏🙏
Shawn Oakman xfl drafted to the wildcats
FlemLo Raps sorry but the bengals are 👎
Wildcats Shawn Oakman
Xfl
Eagles Sidney Jones next please 🙏🏽
In my eyes the writer is the bad guy in this story.
Would make for a good movie! 😂
Matthew Littlejohn is this the same shit you’re putting on every comment?
Jonny pipes the young god ikr like can dude stfu
@Matthew Littlejohn that's all u could come up with outta this story? Smh some ppl find a way to hate everything and everybody
Agree 100%.
The fact that the friend he made never lied about him using his identity is more of a story than him lying to play for the love of football again. Literally no crime was committed since the friend gave him the right to take his name, and then this man did right by him and not fuck over his life while doing it. Now that's the real story, that's a true friend for life bro.
You’re a really good story teller. It doesn’t matter who’s story you’re telling it seems like it yours. Your attention to detail is remarkable
Facts. I be interested as hell lmao
I don’t even watch NFL but this dude makes me want to get into it
NatMesh This is college football not NFL
The real Ron Mcelvey is a real bro.... Shouts out to him
You're right. What a legend
Good point, didn’t ask for anything in return or blackmail him. Just helped with the dream.
AWW MAN just imagine if he went on to go undrafted in the nfl and had to hide the real ron in his house with him lol
The funniest thing throughout this video is seeing his alias "Mckelvey" on the back of his Longhorns jersey. Lmao 9:24
@Robert Griffin III 😂😂💀
big ian 🤣🤣🤣🤣wtfay
*So this dude literally embodied:*
*"Yeahhhhhhh...*
*And I'm no quitter*
*'Cause I'ma go, I'ma go*
*I'ma go gettaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...*
I was just thinking the same thing bro 😂 haha heard the outro & was like - Ron ain’t no quitter!
@@Himijendrix014 Nailed it, homie!
@Solo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He que’d the Wayne even before Wayne
😂😂😂
6’9” Johnathan Nikola from Sudan played high school basketball as a junior, and dominated the floor...uhh he was 30 years old too
scott šzabo ahhh you gotta love that talent overseas that absolutely dominate and the only problem is no one has any idea how old they are and they don’t actually know the rules of basketball shout out thon maker
Most of the “overseas” players are college age (the legit ones) 18-22. The NBA, n NCAA scouts know what’s up by now. You can’t just come out of no where anymore. That guy wasn’t on the pro or college radar. If he was legit he wouldn’t have had to fake it.
Shout out to the whole Maker fam!!! Hope they all make it to, n back in the league
Man, Ron was ready to play football until he wasn’t able to anymore, even if it was only at the college level.
I respect that man. I’m glad he was able to get one last chance to have some fun playing football before he got too old lol.
Get you a friend like Joel McKelvey
Swag Smokes 😂😂, I got a brother like that. Going out to bars when I was in college while only being 19 lol
You have a little brother that went to Prunedale right next to Monterey
I went to school with his little brother kelvie McKelvey he went to gambetta middle school in Castroville next to Salinas
I've never actually heard that story. I give the man mad respect. He didn't hurt anyone. And when he got his second chance, he made the absolute most out of it! Good shit Ron! Salute!
Do Dimitris Underwood, 1st round pick who quit cuz he didnt wanna play on Sundays
😮😮😮
I want to hear all about iy
If i remember correctly, Underwood had some sort of mental breakdown and failed at cutting his own throat. That's scary as hel lolol
Supposedly he was a devout Christian and Sunday is considered the sabbath that’s probably why
crazy because saturday is sabbath not sunday.
He sound like a good dude.... I’m think he filled an empty void in his life
Agreed. Sad he didn’t get to to the bowl game. But I think he can close that chapter in his life with peace now.
I'm surprised there wasn't a movie that's at least inspires by this
There is a tv episode about this I believe the show was on usa
I need this to happen!
It should be “borrowed” instead of “stole” since he asked to use his name
This was one of the most crazy but at the same time wholesome stories I’ve ever heard
I turn 30 in less than a month and am sitting here drinking coffee in my bath robe while watching this.
you could make it a pre workout routine
Perry Finley I got news for you. You’ll be doing the same thing in your 50’s like me
😭😭
Gotta cross the legs too
Happy 30th birthday, Perry Finley. Cheers! 🍺
Bro was reading that news paper every morning to make sure he wasn't in it 😂😂😂😂😂 and who works that hard to ruin somebody's dream???
Thats what the media does every damn day
Writer should have waited til after the season, period!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
“I don’t know what skydiving feels like, but it’s got to be that same feeling” crazy story but at least there’s a bright sides to it!
"He tried out for the Houston Oilers. HELL, naw...." 😂
Tailor-Made Media 😂😂😂
Shit killed me 💀💀💀😂😂😂
@@DriverJizzle I "get" this, R'jay.
Because, I've been there. 👊
To be honest, I'm more interested in that "Texans/Oilers" jersey. What's going on with that?
What’s wrong with the Oilers??
What you do is amazing with these videos and I legitimately need someone to watch one and give you some type of segment of fox sports, CBS, or even ESPN. These videos are interesting and I learn a lot. This is almost like 30 for 30 on UA-cam. I respect your hustle
I remember when flemlo had 80k subs now he got over 400k you’ve grown a lot fam
Is it me or does he look like he could be Stefon Diggs' father
He looks like miles Garrett
@@Ben-qm2lj both
Cameron A. That’s what I was gonna say
@@camerongoltz5578 Wow miles Garrett looks like stefon Diggs's dad
He probably got plastic surgery and became Diggs
Reminds me of the guy who was 25 and went back to play high school basketball. Dude was starting to get offers and that's what got him caught up
MrBgood84 didn’t he get some girl pregnant too?
henryjw15 no he was in a non-sexual relationship with a 14 year old
@@jahsuo4254 that's still pretty bad
Peace Love and Positivity must be thinking of the Odessa one.
Hahah that was in Houston or Dallas, I think. Dude was ballin!
So he's 30 on a college campus...you know he ran *through* them early 90s Freaknik draws.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao half your viewers don’t know that classic song you quoted in the opening segment and how many spin offs have even been made off it... good job FlemLo

Trying to gatekeep quotes? Nice.
Wack ass song
@@RenAson33 You don't know good music😂😂😂
shootemup crack head
my uncle told me abt this😂
There is absolutely no excuse for no one not to achieve their dreams. This man used another identity to do something he loved.
That bobby Caldwell hit different in the car😂
He just built this mans credit for a bit lol but i love that "i'm just a late bloomer looking for a chance" hahahaha
I’m so going to order a custom jersey of that dude!😂
Please do 👍👍👍!
I remember reading this is SI way back when. Finally somebody made a video...props to you sir.
Everytime Flem hits “QUE THE WAYNE”
it’s an automatic like
Yessir
@@jeremiahgeiger nah thats going to be "He hate me 2"
inspiring honestly. This man sounded solid, just so confident in himself he couldn't help it
He tried out for the Houston oilers.....Hell naw😂😂😂
Cbiscuit 88 Oilers were a good team back in the day especially with Warren Moon
Dude just wanted to play football, ion think he cared.
This would make a great30 for30 movie amazing story dude,way to go

Hopefully UT goes to the Sugar Bowl again sometime soon and invites this guy for a halftime recognition for his dedication and love of the sport.
"Identity theft isn't a joke, Jim" should've been the quote
I don’t blame him. If I could, I would turn back the clock to play college sports.
I'm not in college atm but I could be playing
Amen same here 😭💯
@@Ivanmaradonaaa go do it I'm gonna get my ass back into it and play a juco near me and make my way to a D1 D2 college

Flemlo “ yes it is a little bit crazy but.” Hell no flem it’s a lot of crazy. It’s a Mack truck of crazy
Imagine being the last person cut from the Texas Longhorns A-Team?
This should be a movie 🎥
Man your the shit. Theres always a way to spin this in a bad way but you always put a positive vibe on everything.
This guy must have watched that science-fiction movie Titan one too many times.
Prolly has it on BluRay. Needs to try out for XFL
Dude, this is got to be one of my favorite videos of yours. Amazing story. I'm a big fan of your effort and hustle. Keep up the good work 👌
Surprised no one has done this guy yet on youtube, but I'd really recommend to do a video on the elmira Express Ernie Davis

Possible! I’ll go back through the past videos and check

Queue the Wayne goes perfect with this story lol
You're doing a good job with these videos. Your story telling skills are legit! Keep it up!
Dope story I want to see this as a movie
I am new to your channel but YOU ARE A BEAST. I watched almost 15 videos in one day. Congrats on your success
Respect
Flemlo, keep doing your thing bro! You are killing it! 👊🏾
Hmmm maybe he didn’t say anything because he was paid to do so, think about it
This story needs to be made into a movie. That's pretty epic.
And just when I thought the basketball player that lied to play High School ball was bad
Bro i love all your content 💯 but these stories hit differently thanks for bringing to light these guys rise and fall
Wtf how have i never heard of this😂😂😂
I remember this story. I forgot about it. Glad you did a story on him.
I still “take hand offs” at work
LMAO! You a foo fa dat 1
But Great intro Flem LoSki
This dude is a real G.
He did whatever he had to do for his true love.
Salute to him. Respect Due.
That was a Great, spot on intro.

Yo do a what happened to Taurean Charles from Year of the Bull documentary. He went to Florida and disappeared
I remember watching that back in high school.
