Ep 547 | Roger Goodell’s NFL Is Trending Toward an Enron Fall | Deion Sanders’ Prime Time Collapse
The NFL product is bad — real bad. In Week 6 of the season, half of the league scored 17 points or fewer. So far in 2023, teams are averaging the fewest number of touchdowns per game in nearly two decades, and teams are on track to average more field goals than at any other time in the history of the NFL. Jason likens the league's downward spiral to that of energy giant Enron and credits much of its decline to commissioner Roger Goodell, who, like the top executives at Enron, believes he’s the smartest guy in the room. “This is Enron 2.0. It's a bad product camouflaged by the social media matrix and corporate media influencers more concerned with maintaining access than objectively evaluating the league.” We’ve sacrificed great play for great pay and players who care more about building their own brands than building a championship team. The problem is only going to get worse. College quarterbacks are now earning millions of dollars through name, image, and likeness deals. You can secure a six-figure deal before you play a college game. The entitlement and bratty attitudes of the players are major turnoffs. Case in point, Deion Sanders’ Colorado team’s complete collapse against a hapless Stanford squad. Coach Prime’s postgame press conference only worked to highlight the issues Jason sees in Deion and the game of football. We have two fire-starters for the price of one in this episode of “Fearless.”We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 546 | Why Are Israel and Palestine at War? | Daniel Horowitz Navigates the Complicated Conflict
For most Americans and other Western countries, the conflict raging in the Middle East is difficult to understand, leaving many confused and conflicted. Blaze News senior editor Daniel Horowitz joins “Fearless” to help us navigate the complex history between the two countries and the events that have led to war. Daniel shares his thoughts on how America should react to the escalation of warfare, but more importantly the lessons we should have learned from September 11 and our country’s involvement in Ukraine.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 545 | Whitlock Reacts to Stephen A. Smith’s 'Fat Bastard' Shot | Warren Sapp Breaks Gruden News
Shots fired. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith took to his podcast to challenge recent comments from his former colleague Marcellus Wiley, but in the end he diverted his attack to Jason instead. Smith volleyed some pointed words while avoiding saying Whitlock's name. "I think he's a fat, no-good bastard who I despise to the core." Stephen A. attempted to cut through his own ambiguity and clarify that he wasn't speaking about Wiley or his former partner Max Kellerman, again while refusing to say “Jason Whitlock.” "They are not fat bastards who are seeds of the devil wishing nothing but black folks harm," Smith said. "But I'll leave that for another day, for when the time is right." For Jason, the day to respond to Stephen A.’s sophomoric comments is today. The QB Killa, Warren Sapp, joins “Fearless” to address the rumors that his former coach Jon Gruden is headed to Pittsburgh to replace offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Mike Tomlin’s Steelers staff. Plus, Sapp weighs in on George Kittle’s Dallas T-shirt and Micah Parsons’ jersey swap and shares his unvarnished thoughts on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell being on the cusp of another three-year contract extension that would push his career earnings closer to a billion dollars.

Ep 544 | Why We Deserve a Forensic Investigation into the Israel-Palestine Conflict
It’s easy to see the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree in Deion Sanders' locker room. Coach Prime’s son Shedeur loves to “celebrate” by pointing to a make-believe watch on his wrist. Prime Time says Shedeur shouldn’t do it for free anymore and that he deserves a “lucrative” endorsement deal from a high-end watch maker to continue his signature taunt. And DJ Khaled agrees. Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to discuss it as part of our daily dose of Deion. Plus, Steve and Jason check the temperature of Mike Tomlin’s seat in Pittsburgh, Robert Griffin III’s need to create controversy, and the Wisconsin women’s basketball coach referring to her players as "run-of-the-mill white kids." Brett Favre joins us for his weekly visit and helps us break down what’s plaguing Dak Prescott in Dallas and the potential of Kirk Cousins being shipped out of Minnesota.

Ep 542 | Jason Whitlock Arbitrates Ben Shapiro-Andrew Tate Israel-Palestine Feud
The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro has been duking it out with Andrew Tate over the Israel-Palestine war. The spat between the two social media heavyweights underscores Jason’s assertion that America doesn’t know where to turn for the truth. We’ve all grown “conspiracy weary.” From the assassination of John Kennedy to the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the government’s lack of transparency has created an environment of skepticism that leads us to question everything we are told about events like the one unfolding in the Middle East. Royce White joins Jason on “Fearless” to discuss the history of our cynicism and ever-growing distrust of American media and government.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 541 | Why Hamas & Iran’s Attack on Israel Should End 'Diversity' Debate | Is This God’s Judgment?
While Hamas was carrying out its terrorist attack on Israel this weekend, Jason was reading his way through the Book of Judges. What can this Old Testament scripture teach us about current events? Is this war part of God’s judgment? Jason walks us through the questions he has about this act of terror; its connection to the larger diversity movement; and why, in the shadow of these horrific events, CBS and “60 Minutes” chose to air a fluff piece about LeBron James’ agent.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 540 | Warren Sapp TRASHES Keyshawn Johnson, Welcomes ‘Swifties’ & Picks Marshawn Over Russell | Ep 540
“He was special, on a whole other level, but as a teammate, I’d never take him again.” Warren Sapp pulls no punches when it comes to true feelings about former Buccaneers receiver Keyshawn Johnson. The pair won a Super Bowl together in Tampa, but Sapp candidly recounts all the reasons “MeShawn” was terrible for the Bucs’ locker room. “I respect him as a player. I respect him as a teammate; I just didn’t eff with him. I ain’t got Keyshawn’s number …” The QB Killa also shares his thoughts on Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones all but predicting that his rival San Francisco 49ers will win the Super Bowl. T.J. Moe and Steve Kim join “Fearless” to discuss Marshawn Lynch’s comments about his former quarterback in Seattle, Russell Wilson; Robert Griffin III’s bizarre and blasphemous Jesus reference during the Ole Miss-LSU game; and should we be celebrating Vikings QB Kirk Cousins because he bought his own tickets to the Minnesota Twins MLB playoff game? In Tennessee Harmony, Anthony Walker and Virgil Walker take us through the book of Judges and what our modern America can learn from Gideon’s army.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 539 | Exclusive: Matt Gaetz Explains His Plan to Whitlock | FBI Declares MAGA Terrorist Group
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz has been the talk of the Beltway this week after leading the charge to vacate the speakership of fellow GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy. Gaetz joins “Fearless” to share his motivation behind the ouster, the leading candidates to replace McCarthy, and his response to George W. Bush’s former deputy chief of staff Karl Rove’s cutting critique of his actions this week. T.J. Moe and Royce White discuss Gaetz and the chaos he seems to have set off. Plus, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has declared war on MAGA, labeling Donald Trump supporters as “extremists.” Jason, Gaetz, T.J., and Royce share their thoughts on the further weaponization of the federal justice system against political opponents and their base.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 538 | Matt Gaetz Takes Out House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Draws Blueprint to Win Culture War
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) and his coalition of eight Republican colleagues made history when they successfully booted Kevin McCarthy from his role as speaker of the House. For Jason, Gaetz’s coterie of congressmen reminded him of the biblical story of Gideon and his army of 300 and provided inspiration for fighting the culture war and America’s sin of idolatry. Gaetz's coup proves you don’t need an overwhelming majority to effect change. “We don’t need numbers to win the good vs. evil battle occurring in America. Let’s boycott Super Bowl Sunday. Let’s damage Super Bowl TV ratings as a means to draw attention to illegal immigration, transgenderism, the political weaponization of the Department of Justice, the unfair prosecution of January 6 defendants, COVID tyranny, the lack of election integrity, the illegality of the Federal Reserve system, diversity, equity, and inclusion destroying merit, the military, and education, the rampant lawlessness in major cities, the World Economic Forum, and ESG.” T.J. Moe, Royce White, and Dave Shannon join “Fearless” to explore Gaetz's historical move and a way forward for America.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
