[Essay21 2,385]

you leave the women to the real men.

I'm really starting to dislike bomani. That interview with jay bilas was disgraceful. Purposefully picking a fight and then making no sense is about as annoying as it gets.

I'm really starting to dislike bomani.

 

Racist

 

 

I'm enjoying the tournament of sadness. Some of those songs are so bad.

[Essay21 2,385]

if he uses "i aint bout dis life" one more time in an unironic fashion i'm done forever. his whole schtick has just worn thin.

[Essay21 2,385]

I mean Jesus I can barely listen to yesterday's show because bomani is so annoying.

[Whiskers 680]

I haven't listened to the show yet, but I'm sure you're wrong.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

He is, I am halfway through and it's great. The Bilas interview was fantasticly uncomfortable. I think Bomani is great

[Essay21 2,385]

Well, yes, you guys being wrong bothers me. And yes! Your whole damn approach to this bothers me. And yes! You bother me!

 

I think bomani is good in small doses, but the more you hear him the more you realize he doesn't really have any insight that extends beyond being black. He isn't as smart as he thinks he is and he damn sure isn't funny. I had to stop listening when I heard his response to Marc hochman doing an impression of him. Just so stupid and insufferable.

[Whiskers 680]

He's pretty smart.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

He's opinionated, but isn't that what you want? I do. Vanilla guys are the worst. Have an opinion, let me react.

[Essay21 2,385]

He's pretty smart.

 

In what way? All I hear is him trying really hard to sound black and hip and cool. I just find him super irritating.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Pretty sure he has a masters in economics and a BA in something else. His music knowledge is pretty impressive as well. You know, white people music.

 

Just admit it, you're racist.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Whoops, it appears I shorted him on his credentials, by a lot.

[Whiskers 680]

Well, for starters he has like four different Master's degrees. So he's at least very educated.

 

But I just think he has interesting and seemingly enlightened takes on everything. I don't agree with him on everything, but he has a reason for his stances and I think he explains it well. Unlike the 'Gotz who just goes with whatever the masses are saying.

 

 

Edit: Dammit.

[Essay21 2,385]

That only proves my point that he is trying to sound a certain way for entertainment. I see him as trying to play a character and that character is annoying as shit to me.

[Whiskers 680]

Racist

Just admit it, you're racist.

 

 

Edit: Top o' the page to ya.

As Jerry McGuire said, I loooooovvvveeee black people. Bleep his skin color, all I know is he is annoying me lately.

 

How about you provide me with something insightful he's said recently on the show? Because I haven't heard it.

[Whiskers 680]

It's been like four days since I've heard him; you expect me to remember stuff that far back?

[Essay21 2,385]

I mean he isnt funny. He isn't super knowledgable about sports. He doesn't bring anything I enjoy. And I liked him at first. But his act is tired and weak and I've heard enough.

[Essay21 2,385]

And he takes himself way too seriously. I hate that. I absolutely can't stand that. I love stugotz because he is pure comedy and emotion and he knows it and doesn't take himself too seriously and will make himself the joke. Bomani would never do that and it makes me not like him. It's why I like Greg cote and SVG more. Cote is a jokester and rarely serious and SVG had the knowledge and the self deprecation. I dig that.
