The Right Time with Bomani Jones

On today's episode, Bomani Jones breaks down Week 14 in the NFL by looking at the teams with the salty wide receivers. He starts in New York where the Giants and the Jets both continue to lose games this season. We hear from Garrett Wilson who says the team currently has losing in their DNA, and Malik Nabers who expertly answers a question about the Giants being a dumpster fire. (1:08) After hearing from AJ Brown who is somehow salty even after the Eagles won this Sunday, we transition to the Bills, who despite their loss to the Rams, saw an iconic 6 touchdown performance from MVP frontrunner Josh Allen. (14:17) Then Bomani gets to the announcement of this years College Football Playoffs, which according to Bo, is a broken system that is designed to never properly determine the best team in college football. He explains yet again that this is just a product to enhance a TV show and that the sport will never get better from this bracket. (20:02) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your voicemails on the whackest Christmas presents you've ever received. (38:27)IYHH Contributors:Aki Ito, Chief Correspondent at Insider: “The Great Flattening is here to stay”https://bit.ly/4gnZVRk Joshua Rothman, Editor at The New Yorker: “Are Grownups Just Giant Kids?”https://bit.ly/3Bm3g4q Helen Lewis, Staff Writer at The Atlantic “The ‘Mainstream Media’ Has Already Lost”https://bit.ly/3VvJDhr ...Subscribe to The Right Time with Bomani Jones on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts and follow the show on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show.Download Full Podcast Here:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6N7fDvgNz2EPDIOm49aj7M?si=FCb5EzTyTYuIy9-fWs4rQA&nd=1&utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=socialApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-right-time-with-bomani-jones/id982639043?utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=socialFollow The Right Time with Bomani Jones on Social Media: http://lnk.to/therighttimeSupport the Show: PrizePicks: Daily Fantasy Made Easy!

Bomani Jones is joined by Domonique Foxworth for another edition of Foxworth Friday. On today’s episode, the guys start off by talking about Christmas after Domonique sees Bomani’s festive Christmas hat. (0:30) After discussing the cold weather, which could be a big variable for College Football and the NFL playoffs (4:24), the guys transition to the news of the United Healthcare CEO who was murdered in NYC this past week. They breakdown the details of the assassination and how it sounded like hit job from aa movie. That inevitably leads to a conversation about health care, capitalism, and market economies in 2024. (8:54) After the break, the guys come back to have a discussion about Jameis Winston who has been pure comedy the last few weeks. What in the hell is going on with that man?! (28:00) From there they talk about other assassinations involving celebrities like Tupac and Biggie, and also bring up Joe and Hunter Biden and whether or not you would pardon your own son. (38:05) And finally, Bomani asks Domonique why he prefers the Eagles vs the Lions when it comes to the Super Bowl contender for the NFC.

Bomani Jones is joined by The Kid Mero, co-host of ‘7pm in Brooklyn’ and the Victory Light podcast, to discuss all things Kendrick Lamar vs Drake. The guys talk about how they both think the album is mid, which is not a bad thing, because society does not know the true definition of mid. Mid is not a diss! (0:40) They breakdown Kendrick’s upcoming Super Bowl performance and how he’ll have to adjust some of the lyrics for the national audience even with Jay-Z helming the halftime show performances. (4:57) Bomani brings up ‘GNX’ again and the fact that there weren’t any Drake references in the record. It’s ultimately a good thing since Drake lawsuit is the ultimate L. How does Drake move on from here and how should he change the way he moves in terms of this beef. Then Bomani compares Drake to an iconic twitter moment which has Mero losing it. (10:20) Finally after a brief discussion about the New York Knicks (36:25), the guys have a conversation about youth sports and some of the famous kids Mero’s son plays football with. (44:25) Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, Bomani Jones recaps everything that went down this weekend in College Football and the NFL. He starts the show by sharing his frustration with the current Thanksgiving week schedule in the NFL. Having the Thursday games, along with the Friday game, completely devalues the Sunday slate. (0:50) That leads Bo to breakdown the one good game on Sunday; Bengals vs Steelers, where we have two teams going in completely different directions this season. (4:30) Then Bomani discusses the Bills and the Ravens which includes a conversation about the MVP Award. The Bills beat up the 49ers with Josh Allen winning the game for his team, while the Ravens lost to the Eagles and Lamar Jackson was not at his best. Lamar wasn't the reason his team won or lost but at some point this season you have to be the reason either way. (6:08) From there, Bomani finally transitions to this wild weekend in College Football that involved way too many flags being planted. His take stands firm on the idea of outlawing Flag Planting because it leads to fighting. And if fighting is allowed, then flag planting is cool but this weekend showed that whenever an opposing team plants a flag, it automatically leads to a fight. It's the height of disrespect, and disrespect will not be tolerated. (17:33) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and Bomani answers three voicemail questions about anything.

Bomani Jones is joined by Joel Anderson, of The Ringer, who starts the show by revisiting the “greatest Texas athlete you’ve ever seen in person” question from an earlier episode. Then Bomani reveals he’s been saving a topic for Joel, why is Ne-Yo is the Big-12 Championship Game halftime performer? The guys wonder if there was literally anyone else who was available to perform.

And finally, the guys reflect on the 20th Anniversary of the Malice at the Palace. Where were they when it happened and how has their reaction to it changed from then to now? ...Subscribe to The Right Time with Bomani Jones on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts and follow the show on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show.Download Full Podcast Here:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6N7fDvgNz2EPDIOm49aj7M?si=FCb5EzTyTYuIy9-fWs4rQA&nd=1&utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=socialApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-right-time-with-bomani-jones/id982639043?utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=socialFollow The Right Time with Bomani Jones on Social Media: http://lnk.to/therighttimeSupport the Show: PrizePicks: Daily Fantasy Made Easy!

Bomani Jones is joined by Nate Tice, of Yahoo Sports, to discuss all things NFL. Bomani catches up with Nate, the pair discuss the current state of weather between NYC and Las Vegas, and realize just how old they are with this conversation. (0:35) That inevitably leads to a discussion about cold weather football and how smaller players, especially quarterbacks, are not built for the cold vs bigger guys. From there, Bomani asks Nate to help him decide whether or not the Steelers are legitimately good this season. Nate breaks down their defense, offensive live, and admits that even with Russell Wilson as quarterback this team can make some noise in the playoffs. (7:51) After briefly touching on the Chargers and the Bills, the guys transition to Anthony Richardson’s performance this past weekend. (16:22) They discuss why the Colts can’t give up on him, which leads to a conversation about former big boy QB’s like Daunte Culpepper and Donovan McNabb who have succeeded in the league. (33:35) Finally after reminiscing about Mike Vick’s prime, Bomani ends the episode by asking Nate to speak praises about his Detroit Lions.

Bomani Jones kicks off today's episode by reveling in the Detroit Lions victory of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 52-6 beat down helped prove that Bomani's Lions are the best team in the NFL and Bo asks the question why Doug Pederson still has his job following that loss? (0:50) From there, Bomani highlights the Bills defeating the Chiefs from two perspectives. The first being, the Chiefs finally met their match after barely squeaking by with victories over the last few weeks, which reminded Bomani of Tim Tebow. Secondly, the Bills win will create the narrative of Josh Allen for MVP even though he hasn't been as good as Lamar Jackson. (3:40) Then Bomani transitions to the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight earlier this weekend which ultimately ended up as a disappointing event all together. Bomani explains why you automatically lost by even deciding to watch the event, why the fight was so mediocre, and what this says about the sport of boxing. (16:04) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your Voicemails on the dumbest person you've worked on a group project together with.

Bomani Jones is joined by David Aldridge, of The Athletic, to discuss his new book called “The Basketball 100.” The guys begin the conversation by talking about the process of making the book and some of the forgotten bucket getters in the league like Elgin Baylor and David Bing. (1:00) They also examine the 1970s which could go down as the most forgotten and democratic era of the NBA. From there, David brings up dynasties and it leads Bomani to ask him whether he prefers dominance or parity following his conversation with Mina Kimes earlier this week. (9:35) Then Bomani goes through the list of 100 players and asks David his thought process on them while writing this book. Players like Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Irving, and whether or not Scottie Pippen was underrated or overrated. (28:50) And finally, the guys chat about Moses Malone’s boring game, Jimmy Butler being #99 on the list, and why Charles Barkley was easily the best player on the iconic Dream Team.

(19:15) After briefly teasing it on social media, Mina and Bomani argue about what they prefer in sports, Parity or Dominance? Bomani argues that he loves dominance in most sports whereas Mina prefers parity especially in football. (32:04) And finally, they somehow begin discussing the dominance of the white defensive players in the NFL and wonder if we are in the midst of a renaissance at those positions.
