"What in the fuck is Scott Boras talking about!?" -Jeff Sullivan, Episode 1173
Scott Boras is a sports agent who is known on Effectively Wild for two things:

- Really weird metaphors, usually involving boats
While being able to maximize value for his clients is a commendable skill, the EW hosts typically focus on the metaphors, and many episodes have devoted considerable time to analyzing and breaking down the latest Boras quote that's appeared in the news.
