Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Every year, since 1976, Newport Beach resident Paul Salata, along with his daughter Melanie Fitch throw a party for the NFL's very last draft pick. They fly the newly-signed player out to Newport, dub him "Mr. Irrelevant," shower him with gifts, and even take him out to Disneyland. Off-Ramp's Kevin Ferguson talked to Melanie Fitch and Detroit Lion's newest Wide Receiver Tim Toone (Mr. Irrelevant himself) about Irrelevant Week, which just wrapped up Friday.
