Bomani Jones Stars As ‘The Arbitrator’: Settling Sports Debates Since 2004

In the first episode of “Bomani & Jones,” we chronicled the #BEATEMDOWN Ryan Braun and the MLB Players Association put on baseball in his steroid case. Well, it turns out the man who made it possible, the arbitrator who swung the vote to Braun’s side, was fired by MLB.

But get this -- that arbitrator, Shyam Das, is also the arbitrator handling Bountygate for the NFL. Apparently, he’s the best arbitrator in sports. Either that, or there aren’t enough arbitrators out there.

I’m guessing it’s the latter. So guess what? I want to be an arbitrator. I think i’d be great at it. And if you don’t believe me, check out my demo in the latest episode of “Bomani & Jones.”
