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.
