Marcellus is good at discussing this topic.

This shyt make me want to watch some baseball

The way them nikkas reacted when that dude started slandering Miguel Cabrera

I’ve never seen any nikka this passionate about the Cincinnati Reds in my life

I clicked to watched a few minutes and ended up watching a whole hour because I couldn't turn it off lol. Dope shyt.

Didn't even know he was still there, used to hear his name all the time during CFB season, not much anymore

He won't be unemployed for long. Ivan Maisel will make sure he gets a gig over at On3

Couldn’t find a Bomani Game Theory thread. Didn’t realize TNT was showing re-airs leading into NBA doubleheaders.

not saying it's not true, but they're citing Outkick (MAGA) who have been openly anti-Bomani. I watched every episode season 1 when they dropped, but i need to go back and peep season 2. Won't be the last TV show he gets, just have to find the right formula

 

[RammerJammer]

nvm

Multiple TV shows, multiple radio shows, if you get hired for a Bomani Jones production just know that shyt won't be lasting too long

That nikka's just too sassy for me.

He's got real "Very Smart Brothas/The Root/Grio" type energy.

Didn't mention Max, unless I missed it. I hate that Stephen A discusses these types of things because all of these folks were fired/let go for seemingly no reason. Cost cutting gets mentioned, but some people were under contract and ESPN will need to pay up anyway. Even when the cuts were just being rumored, they paid to get Aikman, Joe Buck and McAfee. Stephen A had no problem talking down on Paul Pierce, but he won't bring up ESPN/Disney hypocrisy about costs. He just looks like a puppet.

Keyshawn got PAID. I never heard a casual sports fan clamoring for his opinion on football or anything for the matter

I like Bomani, but he worked best with Dan LeBatard.
He's probably best suited to be co-host.

How many of us are publicly criticizing our employers and expect to keep our jobs?

 

[King Poetic]

The non former players and coaches I don’t care, because they have good ass pensions from the nba and nfl

But the max and Suzy kobers who was legit professionals should be able to stay

Why bring up those issues, if you can't speak freely about both sides? If Pierce was an active player, I would think that its fair game but he's been retired for years.

My point is that he put himself in a space to defend Espn/Disney by talking down about Pierce and his responsibilty to be professional, when he could have easily been part of those cuts last week (had that video situation never happened). He used his show to publicly admonish Pierce, when he could of just left it alone.

Did you watch the full video?

He did address Max and specifically mentioned that he himself hasn't felt safe in any job since 2009, and that any person, especially black people, should always have this in the back of their minds.

It was a good bit imo, the full part:
