The Corner Convo Ep. 317: Caleb Williams Top 5 QB?, Tatum vs. Brown “Cap” Drama, WNBA Finals Venue Mess & MoreChicago’s cultural commentators Amon and Abasi are back with Episode 317 of The Corner Convo. This week’s theme is “Prove It,” and we’re asking who’s actually backing it up.Are the Bears a real contender at 5-2? We re-rank the NFL quarterback class and debate whether Caleb Williams is a top-5 QB or just a “one-man show.” Then we play the Rookie Stock Market: buy, sell, or hold on NBA rookies Yaxel Lendeborg, Darius Acuff, Caleb Wilson of the Chicago Bulls, Cam Boozer, Darryn Peterson, and AJ Dybantsa.We also break down Jayson Tatum vs. Jaylen Brown after Brown’s cap emoji, react to the OKC Thunder injury and whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should go selfish for a top-5 point guard case, and talk through the WNBA Finals scheduling chaos with Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream.Later in the episode, we discuss a viral youth soccer incident involving a 3-year-old and a police call, why “move your kid up” is the best advice in youth sports, and the Mississippi attorney general’s ruling that the police shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in Senatobia was “justified.”New episodes every week.
