    Happy Birthday Bomani. I wish society would gift you a full slate of NBA Playoff basketball today, but alas, no dice.

    I hope that your life outside of work is as joyous and successful as you deserve.

    Now that I’m working sane hours I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing so much more of you.

    Even though I graduated from the school you love to hate, I’m a HUGE fan. And during these difficult times, COVID-19 and Black people being maimed and murdered at the hands of the police on film, I’m grateful for your podcast. You provide a certain level of clarity, honesty and just the right amount of humor. Enjoy your day! And I always give 5 stars!!!

    First off happy birthday and welcome to club 40. The march to 45 is the next milestone. Thank you Mr. Jones for providing us with articulate, intelligent content on all the platforms that are avail to you. You give introspect, honesty and integrity into discourse on all the seemingly important matters as they manifest. Although we have went through two different paths, to get where we are, it’s your voice through intellect and integrity that similarly reflect my thinking, or cause me to challenge the way I think with your perspective. You are greatly appreciated. I’m not a Stan, but I do understand real when I see it. God bless

    There is not a day in the past five plus years in which I’m not listening to your work, whether it’s the 2012 you tube videos with SB Nation, your written work, or the archived shows/podcasts, even your non-sports guest appearances on other podcasts. It’s crazy to see how many of your old sports takes still apply today, yet also realizing how right you were on the social state of America is simply sad. Within all your work, there is a perspective that’s unique to many. The thing is, I’ve grown up in an HBCU household my whole life, too. I see the value of that education every day. In fact, I missed my HBCU so much I went back to work there. In you, I see myself, so yeah, it’s inspiring. I’m here for the long haul man, win or lose. It’s wild that 40 is here, I feel more responsible than before, yet I still have moments when I long for being 20-30 and having reckless nights. You seem to channel all the energy into being great without looking like you put in the effort..it’s your swag, your cool factor that I dig more than anything. I’m learning, and that’s the best thing I can say about you.

    From The Score and Mike Hitman, to hearing about you reject an offer that at any other time you (or the rest of us, for that matter) would have taken in a heartbeat, it’s been awesome to watch your journey and evolution, and listen to your voice be unapologetically your own. Welcome to the 40 club from one 1980 baby to another. I think we should reserve the right to re-celebrate 40 next year though if the Rona gets taken care of. But if we’re being real, it might have to be the year after.

    Keep up with the yoga, and wearing a mask, too.

    Happy Birthday Bomani! Big fan from the Philippines and got to your content pretty late, only during your Around the Horn Days but back in the late 2000s or early 2010s but better late than ever and thank you for the shows and constant education, and almost always took your side versus Pablo on High Noon haha!

    P.S. You talking about the Braves, especially a certain NLCS game against the Marlins and the late umpire really shows the pain in your voice from taking that narcotic and it’s hilarious!
