    Bomani Jones is joined by Domonique Foxworth for another edition of Foxworth Friday.

They return from the break in shock over Devin Booker's $145M contract extension (33:24) and try to make sense of how Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Dallas Turner could've been scammed (39:58).

    Will Knicks Make NBA Finals with Mike Brown, Steelers Exploiting TJ Watt

    On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the New York Knicks hiring Mike Brown and T.J. Watt holding out. Bo begins the show by saying why this Mike Brown hire is interesting (1:59) because the Knicks should win the Eastern Conference with Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton injured (2:45). Bo continues by explaining why the Knicks do have an unreal amount of pressure on them and the clock is already ticking on this roster (10:28). Transitioning to the NFL, Bo talks about T.J. Watt holding out because he wants a Myles Garrett-type contract (18:25) and that this current Pittsburgh Steelers team reminds him of the Philadelphia Eagles 'Dream Team' because their roster is full of aging vets - which does not work in today's NFL (25:22). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving why Americans are sleeping less, billionaires going crazy and Gen Z having less sex (32:15). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've seen someone do to get their money back.

    Vinnie Goodwill Discusses Bucks' Big Moves, LeBron & Lakers' Future, Nuggets' Title Threat

    On today’s episode, Vinnie Goodwill of Yahoo Sports joins Bomani Jones to recap some NBA offseason headlines. They start off the show by saying how shocking the Damian Lillard news was (0:58) and how it most likely won't help keep Giannis in Milwaukee (2:16). Continuing with the Giannis topic, Bo and Vinnie say why the Bucks would want Amen Thompson from the Rockets in return (15:24). After the break, Bo explains why it would be a mistake for the Lakers to acquire Deandre Ayton (31:45) and if the Denver Nuggets are now back to being the best team in the Western Conference again (41:15)? Bo and Vinnie round out the show by reacting to the Detroit News article on who Malik Beasley owed money to. (45:30) . . .

    LeBron James Uncertain Future with Lakers, Malik Beasley Scandal, Ace Bailey to Jazz

    On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Ace Bailey saga, LeBron James' future and the Malik Beasley investigation. Bo starts off the show by asking what did Ace Bailey actually want out of all of this (1:28) and whoever was representing him was making terrible decisions (11:57). Bo moves onto LeBron James opting into his $52M deal with the Lakers which makes life difficult for Rich Paul (13:36) and begs the question - is LeBron still severely underpaid (14:28) ? Bo rounds out the basketball discussion by saying Malik Beasley betting on props won't bother the general public (26:20) but why this will continue to ruin the integrity of the sport as long as we can bet from our phones (29:40). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving weight loss products, air conditioning in the summer and a dating app based on your search history (35:28). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time a fight broke out during a pickup basketball game.
