  • Bomani Jones is the host of Game Theory on HBO and a longtime writer/broadcaster who can talk about absolutely anything. The guy has three advanced degrees in economics. I wanted to know how he’s created this amazing career for himself. We get deep talking sports but things get really heated when we get into music…

    Bo nailed the importance of universally digestible music.
    There is a higher level of appreciation to more 'complex' music if you are a creative or musician because you have a perspective of being an artist and the level of complex dedication goes into the work.
    But at the end of the day if I have to explain why a song is great to a regular person, what good is it if they can't really comprehend why it's great versus a 'simple' but well written song that anyone can enjoy and understand within the first couple notes. Which you can agrue could be as or more difficult than the latter

  • @SpoonTunez
    @SpoonTunez 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Speaking on what Bomani was saying about the kicker and punter position. Those inner cities pop warner youth teams don’t even mention being a punter to those kids. The average child starts playing football around 5-6yrs old, and the only positions that are glorified to them are.. QB, RB, WR, CB etc…. That’s why I think we don’t have the many black punters or kickers.
