Week 2 Recap: The "Ruh Roh" Zone and Tua Tagovailoa's Future, Plus IYHH and Voicemails | 9.16
Bomani Jones gives us his recap of Week 2 in the NFL season by admitting it's too early to judge 2-0 or 0-2 teams. But he starts by revealing he would never root for the Chargers even after their 2-0 start and that Vikings fans are excited but they shouldn't be. Should we trust Sam Darnold even after his 2-0 start? On the other hand, Bomani states that we should definitely be excited about the Saints and their hot start, even thought he won't ever root for them. (1:42) Then we get into the "Ruh Roh Zone," the teams that are in big trouble after just two weeks. The Ravens, Jets, Titans, Panthers and Jaguars have all fallen in this category and the quarterback play is a big reason why. (12:07) Speaking of quarterback play, Bomani finally gives his thoughts on the recent Tua Tagovailoa concussion and what that injury says about his future in the league. Should he retire or should he continue to play a sport he knew the risks going in? (25:41) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard articles and your voicemail stories on holding long grudges.

Jason Goff on Bad Quarterback Play in Week 1, Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl, and Frankie Beverly | 9.11
Bomani Jones is joined by Jason Goff, host of the 'Full Go' podcast at The Ringer, to discuss the poor quarterback play in Week 1.

Bomani explains why that position is the biggest investment in sports and arguably the toughest position as well. (8:45) Then the guys reminisce about the hard nosed play style of the past before getting into Kendrick Lamar being tapped to host the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Why are people talking about Lil Wayne when Kendrick carried the entire year off this beef? And what other acts can actually host a Super Bowl moving forward? (22:46) And finally, following the news of Frankie Beverly's passing, the guys remember the legend and look back at his iconic career.

NFL Week 1 Recap: Tyreek Hills Arrest, Kirk Cousin, and Dak Prescott, Plus IYHH and Voicemails | 9.9
Bomani Jones is back from vacation and here to recap everything that happened in Week 1 of the NFL. From the terrible Giants uniforms, to Sam Darnold and Caleb Williams' performances, Bomani runs down the NFL schedule and shares his "It's Only Week 1" thoughts. (1:20) This leads to conversations on a few specific quarterbacks. What will the Atlanta Falcons do about Kirk Cousins, who doesn't look 100% following his achilles injury? Deshaun Watson is clearly not the same but how soon until the Cleveland Browns make a change at quarterback? (8:00) Then Bomani transitions to the Tyreek Hill arrest that happened before the Dolphins game. What does this arrest say about our countries current state and why have we seemingly stopped caring about police brutality? (23:27) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your voicemails on when you decided to quit football.
