you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Absolutely stupid. These games won't even be on RSNs so even if you're local and pony up for cable you're out of luck unless you pay even more money to Apple. If it's my team I'll just listen on the radio.

Maybe what Apple actually announced what that they were broadcasting two live Nippon Professional Baseball games on Friday nights in the US since they start around 10 PM in the Pacific Time Zone (weekend NPB games are almost always in the afternoon Japan time).

Yeah I should be one to talk considering some early health issues with my daughter meant I spent the last year regularly watching live Japanese baseball games that started at 3 AM, although at that point that's not early sports but instead sports for degenerates who never sleep.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Bomani Jones new show aired.

It was alright.

The Monologue stuff doesn't feel like natural at all for how Bomani talk on the Podcast or ESPN. But man. And some of the jokes from the writers room were not delivered well, but man that Coach K/Duke segment
was So loving good.

The SAS interview was also fun enough.

I really hope the delivery gets way more natural as the show airs.

He was by far at his best and funniest when doing interviews and interacting with people on the street and in the interview with SAS.

The monologue is definitely a miss and the delivery felt real weird but everything else was pretty good. Bomani Jones is great so I'm sure the show will find its footing.

I didn’t see it yet but monologues are usually hard to nail down at first until you can sort of find a consistently voice and tone for the “jokes”.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Monologues don’t work as well without an audience, they either have to get some people in there or figure something else out.

Also honestly for as smart as Bo is his take on Griner was kinda dumb, or at least conspicuous in its not mentioning the poo poo going on in Russia right now. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this happens now when she’s been playing there for years. It’s not like when Liangelo Ball and his teammate did dumb teenager poo poo in China, she’s being made an example of.

edit: this Coach K retrospective is amazing. “Trail of Snears”

Why are they paying Aikman more than Buck? That seems backwards to me, not that I would ever tune into a game for either of them, but Joe Buck is the bigtime announcer guy.

It's easier to find a PbP guy that mostly replaces Buck than someone who replace Aikman. Not that Aikman is that good but he's known, respected, etc.

Also the market value got set due to Romo's massive contract for that type of guy and ESPN is willing to overpay because their MNF crews have been so loving bad.
