You know I am the certified official Bomani apologist here.

But I can't argue against your points.

He had a little bit of I don't know mental emotional dump on Twitter of all places this week. Then deleted the tweets.

Took a shot at Dan and Pablo which was unnecessary and unfair and unwise.

He better than that.

He been slipping but I understand it's stressful time. But his new show is on a good platform decent numbers it's already seems solid production wise.

The anti Deion stuff I kinda understood but he backtracked especially when Spencer defended Deion so well. Bo at least will admit when he wrong.

He been slick dissing LeBron for a minute. Which is getting tired because he been forcing it and been proven wrong. 2 things Bo doesn't do well.

I'm on the team for life but this is the first time in YEARS and I mean since page 3, that I haven't made his show mandatory.

Damn he shit on Dan? Dan helped put him on and has done nothing but defend him. I don't really like Pablo, but I thought they were potnas.

Wait I need to see those screenshots before he deleted them

. It does seem like Jones is melting down under the weight of so many failures at the big time.

ESPN were literally giving him the chance to replace PTI and he shit the bed. HBO gave him prime support, with Game Theory to replace Gumbel and Real Sports and he absolutely shit the bed. Those skits were wack ass fuck. Best part of the show was the Just Blaze intro.

He is rich as fuck, but man shitting on the home team, ain't always good money. Good luck to him, but I'm good off supporting.

Im pretty healthy bro. I dont think anyone in sound health should have taken that shit. Especially once we understood it didnt prevent infection or spread. But thats not the point, my issue was with those pretending to be experts and spending so much time being hyper critical of those who did or didnt take it. Safe to say they've been proven wrong in retrospect.

I got it because I understand I’m not the only person on Earth who matters. While the vaccine didn’t prevent spread or infection, it limited both. It saved lives. People are dead now who would be alive otherwise if more people got vaccinated.

Not trying to divert the thread but wanted to chime in on this just once.

It prevented the severity and also helped lessen the spread.

So if you're healthy, you shouldn't have been worried about the vaccine, right?

and how have they been proven wrong, it was always said to be an ongoing thing that mutates.

I posted some Bomani tweets on Friday and didn’t know he deleted them.

Someone said High Noon was great, he said it was good not great (very ironic considering the shot you took at him in response to his LeBron tweets) and elaborated that it was limited by the chemistry of the hosts and there was a reason he hadn’t had Pablo on the podcast he has had up since 2013. Those are the ones I posted.

Ok. Those tweets are on brand imo. Dude can be a smug asshole at times. Ive seen -in the past- followers ask about when new content would post only to have him insult them in response with shit like "im busy man dam" or "when i feel like it". I believe he got a bit of a big head at one point. May be time to eat a slice or two of humble pie for the guy.

This ain't the thread for this convo

Black Man of the Day: Bomani Jones Update: Leaving ESPN!

ESPN Radio will likely have a different daily lineup by 2018, three people with knowledge of the situation tell The Big Lead. Unauthorized to speak publicly on the matter, the people requested anonymity. Clay Travis reported earlier today that Bomani Jones’ show had been dropped by 90...

No it didnt. Lessening severity was theoretical with no way of actually proving it. And it did NOTHING to lessen the spread.

Complex said:

And i wasnt. Again, my issue was with those who were hyper critical of those who did not want to take it.

Complex said:

No. It was initially said to prevent infection and spread. Then lessen symptoms. Look man, im not going back and forth over that vaccine.. theres a reason i wasnt in the battle threads about it. If you took it, god bless. Hope your heart holds up long term.

That was a hell of a game btw LA and GSW.....

Bron coming through with clutch free throws....

I womder how many points he'd have (in total) if he averaged an 80% ft% for his career

You thought wrong based on my standing with Kaepernick

I fucking had a swift impulse to take the points with the Lions after I read this :fuckyousay:

Damn..... so if he stays healthy KD ends up where on total points......?

Didn't realize this is his 17th season (he's 35)

So ideally what 3 more seasons?

His last 5 season avg is 28.3.

28.3 X 80 X 3 = approximately 6,700 pts.

That'd put him at 4th above Kobe.....eeeek

But I'm guessing more likely 5th or 6th.....

KingTaharqa · Jan 29, 2024

Mahomes quick rise hurts Jordan Brand's lazy arguments. Brady doesn't have a shoe that low self esteem people get their self worth from. So no one is going to be lying for the next quarter century to keep him propped up except folks in Boston.

I got on B ball Paul watching him play in summer league about 2 years ago. For the life of me I could not understand why DOC would never play him in the regular season even though he would BEAST in summer league.

Glenn cannot develop players. He hates playing young players. He would rather give old ass P.J. Tucker 38 minutes to do absolutely fuckin nothing.

Lost all respect for him when I seen that. Like granted I know summer league is rookies or 2 way players, but this nigga was literally destroying teams in summer league and just have him on the bench in the regular season was just stupid.

KingTaharqa · Jan 29, 2024

Now that we know Nike pays sellout journalists like Bomani to LIE for Michael Jordan's brand, how can we take anything he says serious? How can we watch one of those bullshit fluff piece docs MJ put out of himself (Playground, Come Fly With Me, To The Max, Last Dance, etc.) and believe they are accurate portrayals of what happened? We can't!!!

The brand never expected LeBron to play this long and never expected people to start actually digging up the old articles and WATCHING THE ACTUAL GAMES of these old heads playing. The plan was to just lie forever and keep the shoes sellin'. :lol:

You can hear the pain and dissapointment in Dray's voice. He feels let down by Grant Hill for coming out publicly speaking on why Draymond was left off the Team USA roster after having reached out in private to him in the past to join the team in previous Olympics. Another millennial realizing his Gen X hero he grew up looking up to isn't who he thought he was. :lol:
