Is Bomani Jones related to Igor?

[CuseFaninVT]

Zone is for cowards?

Ugghhh.

Can we please get back to being a dominant team so we don't have to have go through this again?

 

[RandygoCuse]

Is Igor OK? I feel like we haven't heard from him in a while.

 

[Cusefan0307]

People still watch ESPN?

 

[cspades99]

I was traveling for work last week and was stuck with ESPN in my hotel room for 3 days. One of the shows did an entire segment with Bruschi giving fight scouting reports on animals after Arian Foster's wolf tirade. Three days later, mind you.

A SEGMENT ABOUT HYPOTHETICAL FIGHTS WITH ANIMALS.

Who is Bimini Jones? Is she the news SC host with the annoying commercials?

 

[OrangeDW]

He tweeted the other day something about how he didn't watch college hoops all year and was cramming for these shows like a student studying for finals after not doing the work all year.

He's not a college hoops guy. At all.

 

[Cuse House]

Bomani Jones is an imbecile, he's terrible on ESPN.

If Lydon returns, we will be dominant next year as long as we get a decent guard to transfer in. Book it!

 

[CousCuse]

ESPN is a damaged and failing network dominated by blowhards. That is why Wildhack and Tirico bailed on their sorry butts.

He goes on this rant every single year regardless of how good Syracuse is. I believe he was saying during Final Four weekend last year that Syracuse should have to forfeit the semi-final game because they play zone or something like that.

 

[HOFCeluck]

His show is basically a unfunny LeBatard show.

 

[orangefog]

I can't stand what Bomani Jones usually has to say, and I can't stand his voice even more. Dude needs to see an ear, nose and throat specialist.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Bomani had his 15 minutes of fame something like 5 years ago.

 

[AirForceOrange]

I have noticed at times that it seems like he just listens to the LeBatard show and just regurgitates what Dan says. Dan does his home work...Bomani doesn't. I like the LeBatard show, but Bomani has numerous times talked about a subject and admitted not knowing anything about it. You can tell he doesn't do a lot of research and studying for at least some of the topics he talks about as he doesn't really get in depth...

I find it funny that he calls playing the zone cowardly...this coming from someone who sits behind a mic or camera all day and readily admits he doesn't know much about the topic and he hasn't followed CBB all year...he is just in it for the click, likes, attention, etc.

Don't know why the M&M show felt like he should talk this morning...

You can tell a lot of the other talking heads on ESPN do their homework...you can tell he doesn't.

 

[cuse10]

He was easy to tolerate when he had his podcast years ago. Since making that leap to ESPN, I can't listen to him anymore.

 

[orangefog]

Has he ever explained what is cowardice about playing zone defense? I am trying to make sense of that statement.

Given how little it takes to trigger the SU fanbase, its a troll job.

Probably. But, one could argue that making bold statements without explanation or forum for retort is the act of a coward.

Seems like a nice guy. Loves talking about the NBA. Will briefly tolerate talking about the NFL.

Has little to no interest (or knowledge) regarding anything else. It is hard to be a successful host of a national radio talk show when you are so limited in your knowledge of the subject matter.

 

[djorange1989]

He makes me yearn for people like Cris Carter. That is how bad Jones is. He is an idiot. He said our program has largely underachieved the past 40 years of playing zone. 1000 wins, 5 final fours and a national title. That shows how much that dbag knows about college hoops

Heard that as well. His belief that we played 40 years of zone exclusively automatically disqualifies him from ever talking about us again.

 

[cspades99]

I got sucked into the rabbit hole, the gists are:

1. Zone is a cover for not having good athletes
2. Even the great SU defenses are never truly great
3. It's only netted 1 'chip in 40 years
4a. It's wasted a lot of high-end talent
4b. SU has overrated talent
5. It's ok for lesser programs to do it (in reference to Temple/Cheney)

The capper is his claiming that no one really cares about Syracuse. And yet...

Also doesn't produce NBA players.

Pure and simple...he is a radio troll...

So you're saying he's a Syracuse fan? There's 50 threads on this board saying that!

I would retort, your parents don't care about you, they named you Bomani. Yes, it is childish and mean, but I am feeling childish and mean right now.
