Ep 612 | Patrick Mahomes Sr., Not Taylor Swift, Could Determine Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII Destiny | Ep 612
A week away from America's largest sporting event, Chiefs star quarterback Pat Mahomes may find himself a bit distracted with the DWI arrest of his father this past weekend. The last time Kansas City came up short in the Super Bowl was following the drunken driving incident that landed Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s son in the big house. Reid and his players seemed distracted, which resulted in a loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Are the Chiefs battle-tested enough to face the same level of adversity? Did they learn from their Super Bowl LV defeat? NBA star Michael Porter Jr. is under fire for an honest assessment of the WNBA and its financial situation. Porter’s off-script candor was made even more refreshing by Ryan Clark’s complete ignorance of the NBA-WNBA economics. The “Fearless” panel debates why the WNBA is unable to bring in the same level of “revenue share” as the NBA. However, from the darkest of nights come the brightest of mornings as the possible savior of women’s basketball is primed to take the stage. Caitlin Clark, standout guard and soon-to-be women’s college basketball all-time leading scorer, will enter the WNBA draft after this season. You’d think the mainstream sports media would be all aboard Clark’s rise to superstardom, giving the league some much-needed relevance. But is Clark so much of a departure from the WNBA’s current demographic that the difference could impede her stardom at the next level? “Here on this show, we talk about topics the media is too afraid to cover.” This is a show you don’t want to miss.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 610 | RIGGED? Taylor Swift, NFL Spark Sports Conspiracy Theories | Warren Sapp SLAMS Cam Newton
Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl. We’ve known this since Taylor Swift first graced our NFL Sundays this season. Or at least, that’s how the sports conspiracy theory goes. Ever since Tay Tay and Travis became America’s “it” couple, the narrative that professional sports are rigged has gained more and more traction among both fans and critics. Jason explains that if sports are being manipulated, it's not by the influence of Swifties or Joe Biden, it’s by the reach of sports gambling. Look no farther than LeBron James and his new venture with DraftKings. Is it wise for a league like the NBA, which still lives in the shadow of the Tim Donaghy scandal, to have its biggest and perhaps greatest star so closely associated with sports betting? Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to add his thoughts to the discussion. Remember when Eric Bieniemy was the greatest NFL coordinator never to become a head coach? Bieniemy once again watched an entire coaching cycle pass him by. This time, his own franchise passed him over for recycled head coach Dan Quinn. Jason and Steve discuss the situation in Washington. NBA enthusiast and content creator Jacob Mkhitarian joins Jason to discuss one of the internet’s favorite sports arguments: Kobe vs. LeBron. Then, Pro Football Hall of Famers Warren Sapp and Brett Favre join Whitlock to discuss the Ravens' choke job in the AFC championship, Dan Campbell passing on points for analytics' sake, and Sapp blasting Cam Newton for his comments on Niners QB Brock Purdy.

Ep 609 | Ilhan Omar Proves Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Allow ‘the Squad’ to be ‘Somalia First’
Jason expresses his growing frustration with the forces aligned to stop the Fearless movement and promote racial division. He cites Stephen A. Smith’s celebration of NBA star Joel Embiid’s 70-point scoring night and denigration of Luka Doncic’s 73-point outburst a few days later. Embiid is black. Doncic is white. Jason argues that the internet matrix rewards content creators and media personalities for promoting anti-white racism. Jason later argues that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is another example of diversity, equity, and inclusion gone wrong. Omar was captured on video saying her loyalties rest with Somalia more than the United States. Jason says Omar typifies the pervasive sentiment that “inclusion” really translates to “insurrection” and tolerance of people who hate America. The show wraps up with Jason, Anthony, and Virgil discussing the criminal conviction of six pro-life activists for violating the federal law prohibiting blocking entrance into an abortion clinic.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 608 | Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Are Making Conservatives Look Foolish
Jason explains why conservatives are making a huge mistake attacking pop star Taylor Swift over her celebrity relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and association with the NFL. On Monday, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, one of Jason’s favorite politicians, insinuated the Super Bowl outcome would be rigged for Swift’s favorite team, the Chiefs. Jason says that’s crazy talk that will eventually be used to portray conservatives as just as deranged as leftists suffering Trump derangement syndrome. Shemeka Michelle joins the show to chime in on Swift’s influence in comparison to Beyonce and Michael Jackson. The back-and-forth between Jason and Shemeka turns really spicy when the first lady of the Fearless Army disses the king of pop. The next thing you know, Jason and Shemeka are feuding over Usher Raymond vs. Chris Brown. It's a wild ending to today’s episode.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 607 | Lamar Jackson & the Ravens Fall for ESPN/NFL Race Hoax, Choke Away Super Bowl Run
In another example of why "Fearless" is the can’t-miss podcast for smart sports fans, Jason explained why the Baltimore Ravens completed one of the biggest choke jobs in sports history in the AFC championship on Sunday. The top-seeded Ravens lost 17-10 at home to the underdog Chiefs. Why? Because Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers, and the rest of the Ravens fell for the NFL race hoax promoted by race hustlers in sports media. ESPN’s Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III and others convinced Lamar that winning a Super Bowl would advance the cause of “black culture.” Jason argued that that is an unfair burden. “When you latch onto the wrong motivation, it’s not surprising when you come out of character, abandon your identity, and perform poorly,” Whitlock said. After the fire-starter, Jason talked with Coach Jason Brown, T.J. Moe, and Steve Kim about what the loss says about Lamar Jackson’s reputation, status, and legacy. Is Jackson the biggest fraud in NFL history? We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 606 | Is Sexyy Red the Root of Rap’s Problem or Symptom of Black Culture Decay?
Sexyy Red Alert! From ‘hip-hop’ to ‘pu*** rap’, the genre’s newest sensation, Sexyy Red, challenges a discussion on “Fearless” whether she is to blame for the moral decay of black culture or is there a deeper issue? An article was published by the Root discussing concerns about the actions of Sexyy Red. The article suggested that Sexyy Red may have taken things too far in comparison to the works of popular music artists Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. Joined by Shemeka Michelle, Steve Kim, and Delano Squires, Whitlock addresses the absence of a God-fearing resistance that can stop this exploitation of the young generation.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 605 | Brett Favre Kisses Up to Taylor Swift; Warren Sapp Joins the Swifties | Deion: Face of CFB?
With the NFC and AFC Championships around the corner, Taylor Swift’s Kansas City Chiefs could be in trouble as they travel to the city of Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell. Brett Favre tried to clean up his Taylor Swift mess by clarifying his controversial remarks that Swift will be blamed if the Chiefs lose. Warren Sapp dismissed Swift as a potential “distraction” and said he’d love to “shake it off” with the pop star at a concert. Favre and Sapp also discussed Jason’s contention that the Ravens could be an all-time great team and whether Lamar Jackson is under the most pressure this weekend. The retirement of Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh’s move back to the NFL sparked a terrific discussion between Jason, Steve Kim, and T.J. Moe about the significance of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders being the new face of college football.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 604 | Stephen A. Smith’s Howard Stern Interview and Trump Diss Intensify Whitlock Friction
Stephen A. Smith did it again — you know, that thing he said he would never do again: talk about Jason Whitlock. This time, the ESPN host sat down with shock-jock Howard Stern to not talk about Whitlock. Smith played his greatest hits, playing the victim card and avoiding answering Whitlock’s questions about the inconsistencies in his life's story. Whitlock calls out SAS’s latest performance. The Oscar-nominated film "American Fiction” brilliantly trolls white liberals in America and, in many ways, mirrors Whitlock's mission in the media. Anthony Walker, Shemeka Michelle, and T.J. Moe join “Fearless” to review the hit movie. In Tennessee Harmony, Anthony, T.J., and Virgil Walker discuss the trend of outspoken Christian athletes in the NFL and beyond.

Ep 603 | How Joel Embiid’s 70-point Game Exposes the Softness of the Modern NBA & America | Ep 603
When Joel Embiid scored 70 points the same night that Karl-Anthony Towns dropped 62, many people pointed to the evolution of the modern professional basketball player. No so fast says Jason. In a way only Whitlock can, he equates the emasculation of America with the type of play we see in today’s NBA. He reveals how over the decades television, media, and the internet have colluded to redefine what it means to be a man, and in doing so further estranged America from its once-proud masculine heritage. Delano Squires joins “Fearless” to add his perspective to the conversation. Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley recently opened up about being the victim of racism as a young “brown” girl in the deep South. Shemeka Michelle weighs in on this controversy. And, Steve Kim is back to discuss whether or not it’s time to change this one rule in the NFL.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
