On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the New York Knicks hiring Mike Brown and T.J. Watt holding out. Bo begins the show by saying why this Mike Brown hire is interesting (1:59) because the Knicks should win the Eastern Conference with Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton injured (2:45). Bo continues by explaining why the Knicks do have an unreal amount of pressure on them and the clock is already ticking on this roster (10:28). Transitioning to the NFL, Bo talks about T.J. Watt holding out because he wants a Myles Garrett-type contract (18:25) and that this current Pittsburgh Steelers team reminds him of the Philadelphia Eagles 'Dream Team' because their roster is full of aging vets - which does not work in today's NFL (25:22). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving why Americans are sleeping less, billionaires going crazy and Gen Z having less sex (32:15). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've seen someone do to get their money back.
