Ep 402 | Aaron Rodgers Clowns the Media Again | HBO’s Bomani Jones Exposes His Racism
While the NFL media speculates and pontificates on the future of Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback himself has used his chosen platform to call out the media once again. Reports have been circulating that Rodgers was demanding the New York Jets acquire hand-selected players before he would finalize a trade deal with the Big Apple. Speaking to Pat McAfee, Rodgers said that’s not at all how the conversation went down. Rodgers said the Jets asked him for a “wish list” of players he’d like to see on the roster if they made a trade for the four-time NFL MVP. Rodgers is being criticized for the way he’s handling the decision about his future and the way he handles the sports media. Jason is not one of his critics. “I don’t blame Aaron Rodgers for being adversarial with the media. They have an agenda.” On the other hand, “Fearless” contributors T.J. Moe and Steve Kim are leaning the other way and are experiencing some “Aaron Rodgers fatigue.” HBO’s resident race-baiter, Bomani Jones, recently attacked JJ Redick over his exchange with Kendrick Perkins during the NBA MVP debate. Jones said, “White people aren’t always racially biased. But you can never be 100% sure.” Jason, T.J., and Steve discuss the thoughts of sports media's pseudo-intellectual. In Tennessee Harmony, Shemeka Michelle joins Jason, T.J., and Anthony Walker to share a strange conversation she had with a pastor at a cigar lounge. Then, Virgil Walker joins the conversation to talk about the new controversial statements from former megachurch pastor Rick Warren. After retiring from Saddleback Church and after the church itself was disfellowshipped by the Southern Baptist Convention, Warren said he now has scripture to justify the church’s decision to ordain female pastors in leadership roles.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 401 | Ja Morant Reflects NBA Secular Culture | Ciara Bares All, Emasculates Russell Wilson
Following his Instagram gun video and a two-day strip club sexcapade, the NBA has sent Ja Morant to a counseling facility to address his recent off-court behavior. Jason suggests that it’s not Ja who really needs the help — maybe it's those who have carefully crafted the culture that has engulfed Morant who are in need of counseling. “Nike and the NBA in particular and professional sports in general cultivated Morant’s identity dysphoria. In the aftermath of the historic success of the Air Jordan brand, the entire sports world has spent the last three decades pursuing street credibility and promoting racial idolatry.” Jason explores the connections between Nike, the NBA, and gangsta rap that have created a secular culture in sports. Former NBA first-rounder Royce White, a longtime mental health advocate in the NBA, adds his firsthand knowledge to the issues surrounding Morant. Delano Squires joins “Fearless” to discuss the Ja Morant situation and pop star Ciara nearly baring all at an Oscars after-party, further emasculating Russell Wilson in the process. The first lady of "Fearless,” Shemeka Michelle, adds her own take on what’s really happening between Ciara and Russell. And Steve Kim wraps up the show talking about Michael Irvin’s legal issues following the sexual assault allegations during Super Bowl week. The surveillance video of the incident is out; what does the tape really show?We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 400 | Angela Bassett’s Black Entitlement on Full Display at Oscars
Hollywood made it through the Oscars without a single act of physical violence, but if looks could kill, Angela Bassett would have been able to pull off what Michael Myers couldn’t: take out Jamie Lee Curtis. When Curtis was announced as the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Bassett couldn’t even feign a little joy for her fellow nominee. She sat stone-faced in her chair as the rest of the audience responded with a standing ovation. Jason says Bassett’s reaction encapsulates the pandemic of entitlement and victimhood in America. Her role in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” should have all but guaranteed her an Academy Award — after all, it was the greatest film in black cinematic history. Jason refers to this type of entitlement as “trickle-down racial justice.” “Trickle-down racial justice is the theory that argues the rewards given to spoiled black elites eventually benefit poor black people. Denying Bassett an Oscar means a little black girl in Chicago or Buffalo or San Antonio is less likely to get an A in her math or English class. The celebration and honoring of Bassett and other black elites are critical to closing all racial achievement gaps.” “Fearless” contributor Shemeka Michelle adds her flavor to the discussion and tries to help Jason figure out how “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was the best film that Hollywood could muster last year. Steve Kim drops in to hit the latest NFL headlines, including Jalen Ramsey's journey to South Beach. Does this mean the Dolphins are now stuck with Tua as QB? And re-rack the Lamar Jackson outrage as rumors swirl that no other NFL team is willing to take in the former league MVP.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 399 | What Colin Kaepernick’s White Racism Tells You About Half-frican Americans
Colin Kaepernick is back, and you know what that means. Stand by for wokeness. The former kneeling back of the San Francisco 49ers has released a “graphic novel” comic book detailing his struggle to find his identity as a child. In this cartoonishly bad tale, Kaepernick paints his white adoptive parents as “problematic” and perpetuating racism by suppressing his true identity as a kid. Jason unloads on the lack of gratitude Kaepernick shows for the two people who chose to raise a little boy who had been abandoned by a father he never knew and a birth mother who didn’t want the job of being his parent. Kaepernick worships at the altar of racial idolatry, and he’s sacrificing his white parents in pursuit of his “blackness.” “Fearless” contributor Delano Squires adds his parental perspective to the conversation. Plus, the “Korean Cosell” Steve Kim joins the show to discuss Kaepernick, Tiger Woods' women problems, and Patrick Ewing getting booted from his alma mater.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 398 | How Media Exploitation Could Lead America into Civil War
For over a week now, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins has been leading the campaign against Nikola Jokic as NBA MVP. In a heated exchange with colleague JJ Redick, Perkins implied the system was rigged because, in his words, “80% of MVP voters are white.” What Perkins shouted loudly as a cut-and-dry fact proved not to be true. ESPN fact-checked Perkins' statement and issued a “correction” about the make-up of the NBA voting constituency. This is an example of the type of behavior that Jason says the media is using to spread racial division and conflict, division and conflict that are leading the country down a dangerous path. The media exploits people like Perkins, Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A. Smith, and Skip Bayless to present narratives that create animus among races. It’s not just the sports media creating division in America. Tucker Carlson has spent the week dismantling the mainstream media’s narrative about the January 6 “insurrection,” an event that was used to drive a wedge between citizens and portray an entire voting block as racist rioters. As Jason points out, all the media misinformation isn’t new. In fact, he can trace it back to Dan Rather in 1963.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 397 | A Lamar Jackson Conspiracy? | JJ Redick Blast Kendrick Perkins | “Jesus Revolution” Review
It didn’t take long for the sports media world to cry racism over the Baltimore Ravens slapping a non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson. It seems no other team in the league is interested in negotiating with the former league MVP, so according to Pro Football Focus, it has to be the racist team owners colluding against the black signal caller. Jason has a few alternative theories based more on common sense than conspiracy. “Fearless” contributors Steve Kim and Coach Jason Brown of “Last Chance U” discuss the business side of Lamar Jackson and why no team has stepped up to pay him what he wants. JJ Redick may not be an ESPN employee much longer after speaking the truth to Kendrick Perkins, Stephen A. Smith and blasting “First Take”. And in Tennessee Harmony, Pastor Anthony Walker, Bryson Gray and Shemeka Michelle join Jason to review the faith based film “Jesus Revolution”.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 395 | Ja Morant Succumbs to Gangsta Culture | Texas Tech Bible-Belts Mark Adams
Less than a week after allegations were made public that Ja Morant assaulted a teenager, for an encore, Morant took to Instagram Live brandishing a gun in a strip club. Morant is garnering sympathy from NBA alumni like Jalen Rose and Paul Pierce. Jason argues that the gangsta culture and the city of Memphis are seducing Morant into a lifestyle that’s detrimental to his future in the league — or is it? Maybe Nike and the hip-hop culture will make Morant more valuable in the long run. Former NBA first-rounder Royce White, Pastor Anthony Walker, Bryson Gray, and comedian Steve Byrne join the show to discuss Morant's recent downward spiral. Texas Tech head basketball coach Mark Adams has been suspended for “racially insensitive” comments he made toward a member of his team. Those comments were actually scripture the coach was using to teach his players teamwork and success. We are officially living in a world where the Bible is hate speech. “Fearless” contributors Steve Kim and T.J. Moe join the rest of the panel to share their thoughts on the coach's suspension. And we've saved the best: Jason strikes a match in his Fire-starter about Chris Rock’s Netflix special “Selective Outrage” and makes the case as to why Rock is on the “God Squad.”We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 394 | The Hershey Company, the Toronto Raptors & Marc Lamont Hill Bow to Transgender Lynch Mob
Is March “Women’s History Month” or "Trans Future Month”? The Hershey Company decided to make a trans woman the face of its Canadian ad campaign to celebrate “women,” and the NBA’s Toronto Raptors issued an apology for stating the fact that only biological females have the ability to birth another human. And before you think it’s just a Canadian issue, America’s token professor, Marc Lamont Hill, is still asserting that “men” can get pregnant. Luckily, our professor, Delano Squires, is here to speak the truth against the insanity.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
