Bomani and J.A. also revisit the tension between Shaq and Kobe, Phil Jackson’s role in holding it all together, the iconic 2000 Game 7 comeback against Portland, the 2001 destruction of the West, Allen Iverson’s Game 1 moment, and the controversial 2002 Western Conference Finals against Sacramento.

Bomani breaks down Dallas' loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Cowboys' defensive struggles, and why they should be doing more in the NFC East. He also dives into Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid's willingness to give players second chances.

Later, he talks about why Lamar Jackson's future with the Baltimore Ravens is suddenly a major question. Bomani examines Lamar's injury, his contract situation, and why Baltimore may have no choice but to pay its franchise quarterback.

After the break, he reacts to Mike Norvell's firing at Florida State, the expectations facing Angel Reese after losing in the WNBA finals, and a wave of NBA injuries affecting the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chet Holmgren, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Haliburton. Is the modern style of basketball putting too much physical stress on players?

Bomani Jones and Dominique Foxworth are back for Foxworth Friday on The Right Time, breaking down Lamar Jackson's unusual power with the Baltimore Ravens, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive problems, Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, Deshaun Watson's comeback, and Ernie Johnson's retirement from Inside the NBA.

First, Bomani and Dominique discuss the WNBA Finals scheduling controversy and the outrage surrounding a daytime championship game. They explore whether the league could have handled the situation differently and why conversations surrounding women's basketball have become so contentious.

Then it's time for the NFL. With the Baltimore Ravens preparing to face the Buffalo Bills, the guys examine Lamar Jackson's injury situation and the extraordinary control he has over his career. Dominique explains why Lamar's approach to contracts, communication, and team relationships differs from nearly every other quarterback in the NFL. They also discuss the Ravens' defensive struggles and Marlon Humphrey.

The Chicago Bears are making moves, with Jeffery Simmons joining their defense and Caleb Williams continuing to show improvement under Ben Johnson. Bomani and Dominique discuss whether Chicago is becoming a legitimate contender before turning to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions, Jared Goff, and concerns about Jahmyr Gibbs' workload.

Could Deshaun Watson actually win NFL Comeback Player of the Year? The guys examine the Cleveland Browns' surprising record, Watson's future, and the uncomfortable questions surrounding his potential resurgence.

Plus, Dominique explains why adding another wide receiver won't automatically fix Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The real issue, he argues, is their ability to establish the run against elite defenses.

Finally, Bomani and Dominique celebrate Ernie Johnson's remarkable career following his retirement announcement. They discuss why Ernie became such a beloved figure on Inside the NBA alongside Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith, what makes the show's chemistry so special, and whether Adam Lefkoe is the natural successor.
