Bomani Jones On Jon Gruden | Full Interview | The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz

Bomani Jones makes his return to the show to discuss the behind the scenes aspects of Jon Gruden's resignation.

Bomani is one of the best damn voices when it comes to sports and the heavy topics. Giving him a platform that's like Last Week Tonight, Sports Edition sounds like it's going to be epic. This was an incredible interview and I love how Bomani shines lights on things from angles that I think a lot of people wouldn't look at, and does a phenomenal job of it.

that's racists as fuck such a double standard

[@Papo1976]

@@williambison9772 What double standard? Your statement assumes everybody is treated equally which doesn't seem to be the case.

[@rodsean]

Yea, but he should have said that we all want to believe in the goodness of people, of humans. Because what John Gruden said ALL humans of any color (I hate to call people a color cause non of us are black or white or green - we should just describe ppl by nationality instead of color), say these things. Humans say a lot of terrible non-racist things to and about other humans in private musings with each other.

[@JJ-Toreddie]

@@williambison9772 Bomani is a left drifter. The bias is sickening in sports media. Gruden didn't just quit. He is being erased from the NFL. The locker room don't give a fook. Gruden caved like a beech. That says Davis didn't have his back meaning the NFL owners agree with what has happened to Gruden.

[@godofthisshit]

I should have noticed that. Where was Drew Brees?! NBC let the two black men "wear the cape" then has NFL insider Mike Florio tell us that Gruden's job was secure. Yikes NBC

[@lancegreer1605]

Glad to hear Bo's comments on this topic. Also, happy for him to get the HBO show. Bo said the part that Mike and Dan kind of glossed over. Gruden would keep his job, if the comments were limited to the Smith lip comment. The homophobic and misogynistic is what got Gruden fired.

[@isiah675]

They glossed over it because they were screaming at the top of their lungs disagreeing with that notion. Then the second Bo came on they didn't wanna bark up that tree anymore lol

[@pluturner893]

Mike has been trying so hard to be someone else lately. He tried to downplay the very thing that Dave Chappelle noticed that was spot on about the Gruden situation and then Bo backed it up by saying that they kept Gruden after the DeMaurice stuff, but as soon as the actual word that he used for the commish was printed he was gone.

[@jayregal6478]

Incorrect. He once owned a storefront down the street from his house - The Fired Head Coaches of America Inc or something. I wonder if the lease $ hit a lot different in ‘21 amid the pandemic.

[@andrewshandle]

The sad part is the real reason Gruden won't get another shot is because he's not a very good coach. If he was killing it with the Raiders people would be lining up to forgive Gruden and give him a redemption arc.

[@jamiesivad6443]

I've been saying that for years... His record of 117-112. 51% speaks for it self... His coaching record were no better than jack Del Rio's 49%... and Toney Dungy's Bucs record of 56%.. Gruden's 15 years a head coach... only 6 winning seasons.. His coaching SUCKS!

[@stonedog23]

Bomani, always smart, always thoughtful, always brilliant. Insulting a black person, while coaching a locker room full of black men, was not going to get Gruden fired. “Time Machine Racism” was classic. But when he insulted other marginalized groups, he gets fired. Am I to believe that black folks don’t matter or was it cumulative and that made it worse?

[@Hatim_Supreme_Salaam]

Tony Dungy was a great coach. But as a man I'm getting sick of his forgive everything and everyone BS. It's pathetic. Gruden doesn't deserve forgiveness. I don't care if he's the fall guy. He still said what he said and deserves all the crap he's getting.

The question about Gruden's career suicide at about the 15-16 minute mark or so - I think Bo's insight was accurate but I'd go a step further and say that Gruden will be absolutely fine by leaning into being a terrible person. There's a biiiig market out there for unrepentant reactionaries and by leaning into the whole "Anti-PC" thing, I think Gruden's future looks repulsively bright.

[@lou2877]

Personally thought Gruden was always a bigot / racist with his qb camp espn video with Cam Newton over 10 years ago the signs were there. Gruden saying to Cam that he doesn’t know how to call/switch plays in the huddle. Randomly saying terminology like Spider Wide 2 Banana etc. Cam Newton handle it well and giggle at Gruden. This was coded language during that qb camp segment of the terrible stereotype that African Americans/ Black People can not play the qb position. Every time I mention this video and Jon Gruden all my football friends would look at me weird and crazy. Glad I was right. So long Jon ‘that’s football” Gruden
