    Spencer Hall Helps Preview the College Football Playoffs

    On today’s episode, Spencer Hall of the Shutdown Fullcast Podcast joins Bomani Jones to give us a preview of the College Football Playoffs which begins this weekend. But before they get to that, in honor of the holidays Spencer explains why the backscratcher is one of the best Christmas gifts you can give someone. (0:45) From there they discuss the big weekend in College football by breaking down the first game — Notre Dame vs Indiana. The guys explain why this will be extremely painful for Notre Dame and why Indiana’s Coach Curt Cignetti is a bit of an asshole. (7:34) Then they transition to Dabo Swinney and Clemson’s matchup vs Texas. Is Clemson QB Cade Klubnik a system quarterback even though he had a monster year offensively? And why has Texas stopped scoring points, is it a Quinn Ewers problem or is it Steve Sarkisian’s fault? (14:54) The next game on the list is Penn State vs SMU, which has the guys asking just how many people will show up to that game? It’s going to be 25 degrees and state college is not easy to get to. (20:25) And finally the guys wrap the show by talking about the Jim Tressel documentary, the Woody Johnson news with Jerry Jeudy, and Bill Belichick’s new gig at UNC. (32:30) . . .

    Travonne Edwards on the NBA Cup Finals: Does Anyone Care About This?

    Bomani Jones is joined by Travonne Edwards to discuss all things NBA. The guys recap last nights NBA Cup Finals between the Bucks and the Thunder, and ask the simple question, does anyone care about this? Is $500k enough incentive for these players to play defense and care about winning the Cup? (5:55) Speaking of caring, did the Thunder even care about the game because the amount of 3-pointers they missed makes it seems otherwise. (17:20) Then the guys have a conversation around why we need to make defense and mid-range shots cool again. Do we need more personalities like Dillon Brooks and Patrick Beverley to help increase the intensity on that side of the court? (22:10) And finally with the ratings for the league free falling, the guys try and think of solutions for the future of the NBA with a league not involving LeBron and Steph. (31:27) Learn more about your ad choices.

    Travis Hunter Wins the Heisman and Week 15 NFL Recap: Lions Lose and Bills Are For Real

    On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones recaps everything that happened this weekend in College Football with the Heisman Trophy celebration and in Week 15 of the NFL. But first, Bomani starts the show by calling out some of the Lions haters in the live chat. (1:00) That leads to Bomani breaking down that matchup against the Buffalo Bills, especially all the injuries the Lions came away with following that game. Will the Lions be able to overcome them or will it be a tough postseason journey for the Honolulu Blue? Then Bomani gives flowers to Josh Allen who might have locked up the MVP award after his performance. (2:20) He also praises the Eagles for their win but highlights Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown who called out the media after their win, even though the issue was clearly between the two of them. (10:06) After briefly discussing the Chiefs, who despite their victory might be in some big trouble with the injury to Patrick Mahomes, (15:50) Bomani finally gets to Travis Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy. Bomani explains why it was most definitely the correct choice because of everything he did this season on both sides of the field but also if you voted for Ashton Jeanty it was fine. Now while we should be celebrating Travis Hunter, the drama surrounding him and his girlfriend following the events of the this weekend have overshadowed an iconic performance on the field. Bomani gives Travis prudent advice and wishes him good luck as he navigates this portion of his life. (18:29) And as always, we wrap the show with a round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your voicemail stories about the time you were shocked to meet a friends significant other.

    On today’s episode, Bomani Jones is joined by Tyler “DragonflyJonez” co-host of the “Jenkins and Jones” podcast, to talk through a variety of topics in sports and culture.
