Summary

On today’s episode, Jason Goff of The Ringer & Chicago Sports Network joins Bomani Jones to mainly discuss Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams. The show starts with Bo saying how people get very angry when he criticizes Scottie Pippen, who happens to be Jason's favorite all-time Chicago Bulls player (1:17). They get into Seth Wickersham's new book, American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback, where Caleb Williams' father, Carl, says how he told the Bears not to draft him and thought about trying the UFL route instead (18:40). After the break, they continue with the Caleb Williams story comparing it to Shedeur Sanders saying if Shedeur was as good as Caleb he would've been selected higher in the 2025 NFL Draft (27:26). They round out the show by saying how incredible Cam Newton's aura was (40:16), how Bo Jackson was the best athlete Bomani has ever seen (43:32) and they joke about the outfits Ciara makes Russell Wilson wear.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time. A Wave Original presented by Perplexity.
0:11.4	My name is Bobani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you get this podcast. Thanks for watching
0:15.7	us on YouTube. Subscribe, like, rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined
0:22.1	to believe you are a hater. By the way, we have an ad-free version. Check that out. The ad-free
0:27.4	version of the right time. Five dollars a month, $50 a year. Go ahead and get on that. And before
0:32.8	you do that, this is the time of week where we have a guest join us coming to us live from Chicago,

1:03.1	You got to imagine how hard it is for me to watch an Eastern Conference finals now
1:08.5	where I'm watching Indiana and New York.
1:10.9	Teams that during my childhood, it was like
1:12.8	the leftovers. You know what I mean?
1:14.5	So, thank you.
1:16.4	People get hot
1:18.1	when I say this about Scotty.
