Howard Bryant on World Series Matchup, ‘Comeback’ Documentary, and the Boston Celtics
Bomani Jones is joined by Howard Bryant, of Meadowlark Media, to discuss Howard’s work on the new Netflix documentary ‘The Comeback:2004 Boston Red Sox.’ The guys revisit that iconic series and how it was the biggest thing in sports media at the time. They also discuss how baseball has fallen so drastically in popularity from 2003 to now. From there, they preview the World Series between the Yankees and the Dodgers before breaking down the Boston Celtics. Can you call this season a revenge tour if they’re the defending champs? And does Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have Irish Alzheimer’s? #jaysontatum #jaylenbrown #bostonceltics #worldseries #losangelesdodgers #aaronjudge #bostonredsox #redsox #thecomeback

Where’s Bo from? Tulsa?
teams playing each other 20x/year is so unnecessary. Especially when that costs you Dodgers/Yankees, Padres/Orioles. Less games will value them more, the rivalries will be fine. That 6p Wednesday Rays/Marlins game that’s at 22% capacity in part caz you have 18 more times to watch that isn’t a good look.

Howard Bryant!! #BigUps #ThanksBo
Could listen to Howard Bryant all day.
I'm trying to figure out where they get this 'dull' world series from. Who the Heck thinks Yankees/Dodgers in 2024 is DULL with all of this talent on the field at one time? If you thinks DULL, just say you dont like baseball. I get the "teams were so much better in the past talk." I'm an old head myself, i was married for years when the 04 team came back. But to say these special teams are dull is interesting.
This is what I want. Better then last weeks guest.
What's going on with Foxworth Fridays not being regular anymore? Those are usually my favorite episodes! Is it an ESPN being ESPN thing or is Foxworth just too busy (cuz ESPN is ESPN and works their talent like crazy)?
😂, THEY DONT HAVE BLK PPL, and they dont care🤷🏿♂️. MLB gettin a major bag from t.v. etc. since yall too scared to say it.
Boston plays JV teams in the East and then beats a Mavs team who probably shouldn’t have been there
Howard is way off the mark with the notion that Latin and Asian baseball is not "policed" on the field in that way. Most notably, Korean pitchers have intentionally hit Ichiro and Ohtani in the WBC.
Yep, can’t be a top 3 league if you can’t promote national stars. We know nothing and don’t see any pop culture sightings for baseball players
Hey Bo, Better Help isn't ethical in how they care for patients/clients or how they run their business. All respect, but don't renew if you can help it.
Big Papi years later not even realizing that they were down 3-0 and not just 3-1 makes so much sense to me for some reason 😂😂😂😂
Nothing like hearing Howard Bryant talk about baseball (or tennis). The fact of him and Bomani being acolytes of Ralph Wiley means you get to see them truly intellectually-duel each other (as friends, of course) for smartest on the mic. You just feel a little smarter after listening to them both.
Is Bomani wearing a Lynard Skynard shirt? I am home listening to Paid in Full and getting my hip hop game up to 1987. The world is progressing.
Howard got those Radio Shack headphones.
Roger Clemens, good except against Dave Stewart and the Oakland A's.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
just wish this was longer!
Bomani: "Well I will say this…" = Skip Bayless "Before I launch…"
Again: another episode that proves Bo should feature baseball more often. While owned and operated by a bunch of soulless "Herbs" these days, it is the Best Game when played by people who care. Otani, Betts, Freeman, Bryce Harper, Judge, Soto care.
And Bryant’s writing is exceptional!
The World Series might not have the zing you'd expect from Yankees Dodgers, but it definitely has more than literally any other possible matchup.
Howard Bryant is an intellectual force, and my pops, an Afro-Mississippian and civil rights activist who was arrested multiple times for sit-ins and other protests, loved ole Throw It Back Bob Gibson.
never met a White Grady? i haven't met a Grady at all, but the two people that come to mind when i hear "Grady" are Grady Little and Grady Sizemore, and i JUST learned that Sizemore is a brotha
Roger, Spring woods, same place that now the kids from Carverdale go to school there all because they sucked in football for so long and those kids went to Jersey Village and they re-mapped them to go back to where they were supposed to be the whole time and Jersey and went to the playoffs all timehigh school football Texas high school football got it
Howard Bryant is brilliant!
Rob Parker deserves a better co host like H.B.! I'm just saying lol
