    Monica McNutt on the First Take Incident, How to Cover the WNBA, and NBA Finals Preview

    Monica McNutt on the First Take Incident, How to Cover the WNBA, and NBA Finals Preview

    Bomani Jones is joined by Monica McNutt, basketball analyst for ESPN and MSG, to discuss all things hoops. First, Bomani and Monica give their thoughts on the narratives surrounding the NBA Finals. Are people being too mean to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown? (6:45) Who is the X-factor for the Celtics and how do we rank JT vs Luka? Speaking of Luka Doncic, Bo and Monica talk about his game, which Mavericks team was better between the 2011 and 2024 teams, and what to make of the Kyrie Irving resurgence this season. (10:10) Then they transition to the WNBA and have an honest conversation regarding how the league is currently being covered by the media and fans. Has the language towards Caitlin Clark been unfair? Why do people forget that it's still a competitive league? (32:50) And finally, Bomani asks Monica about what all went down during the First Take incident. Monica shares her point of view while highlighting the difficulty of being a woman in sports, talking about women in sports, and being called out for talking about women in sports. (45:10)

    The WNBA vs Caitlin Clark and Kyrie's Return to Boston, Plus IYHH and Voicemails

    The WNBA vs Caitlin Clark and Kyrie's Return to Boston, Plus IYHH and Voicemails

    Bomani Jones kicks off this episode by remembering Dallas Cowboys legend Larry Allen who recently passed away and why they have never made a player like him before or after. (0:30) After a chaotic morning on ESPN, Bomani discusses the First Take viral clip of Monica McNutt silencing Stephen A. Smith for his lack of WNBA coverage. (4:00) That leads to a conversation regarding the incidents that recently occurred involving Caitlin Clark and Chennedy Carter which lead to a fine for Carter. Bo argues that physical play has always been a calling card for the WNBA and that the new fans are treating the sport as a cause rather than an actual sport. How should Caitlin Clark handle this whole situation and how should the rest of the WNBA handle Caitlin Clark? (7:30) Then Bomani briefly reflects on Kyrie Irving and his career ahead of his return to Boston for the NBA Finals. (36:10) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard Stories and Bomani answers you question during our voicemails segment. (45:33)

    Elle Duncan on the WNBA: Caitlin Clark's Early Struggles, Cameron Brink Stardom, and Alyssa Thomas

    Bomani Jones is joined by Elle Duncan of ESPN to help break down the early season in the WNBA.

(19:40) Then Bomani asks Elle for her thoughts on all the drama surrounding Caitlin Clark. How should the WNBA handle the influx of new fans via Clark and should the league take it easy on her? (28:24) Finally Elle and Bomani analyze the budding stardom of Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink, the craze of WNBA fashion, and why Alyssa Thomas deserves more flowers. (39:25)

    Joel Anderson Helps Break Down the Diddy Situation

    Joel Anderson Helps Break Down the Diddy Situation

    Bomani Jones is joined by Joel Anderson, staff writer at Slate and host of The Slow Burn Podcast, to help break down everything surrounding the current Diddy situation. But first the guys discuss Bomani joining TNT’s alt cast during the Western Conference Finals and how he needs to be nicer to Karl-Anthony Towns. (1:00) Then they reminisce about Houston and how we shouldn’t judge a city by its looks which somehow leads into a conversation about movies. (6:10) Finally the guys bring up Diddy, specifically the recent video footage of him and Cassie, and why it reminds them of the Ray Rice video. Clearly Diddy is unhinged and the guys look back at his career of altercations and wrongdoings which revealed all along who he was. (29:50)

He’s #1 with LGBT!!!

Softest, most effeminate dude involved in sports. Happy Pride Month, Bomani! You’re #1 with homosexuals and all the rest!

ADJNAMEDSLASH/ ,

You and Elle are the new Nicholas and Valerie

Another one that’s an instant classic. Alt-Kast, Shorts and Shea Butta as an intro. The Western Conference Alt-Kast have been on point. Rich Paul droppin’ company insight. Then claim he’s doesn’t talmbout (Standing on) Bidness. Truly why it’s Klutch with a K. Where’s Shannon Penn and the Knicks Tape Hype. Gotta get him back behind the M.I.C. 👊🏿✊🏿
