Fearless with Jason Whitlock

Last week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones lamented on how great it would be if Cooper Rush played so well while Dak Prescott is out with an injury that they’d have a quarterback controversy in Big D. Looks like Jerry might get his wish. Rush moved to 2-0 as Dallas’ starter with a win over the Giants during Monday Night Football, and it has Jason asking the question: Is Cooper Rush a better option than Dak Prescott? "Fearless" soldier Steve Kim takes Jason to task over the notion. “Last Chance U’s” QB guru, Coach Jason Brown, lays out his argument as to why there will be a discussion to be had once Dak is healthy. ESPN couldn’t resist playing the race card when discussing Lamar Jackson's early season success. Then it's time for our "Fearless" ladies as Shemeka Michelle, Lauren Chen, and Jill Savage dissect a clip from “Deconstructing Karen” where a black lady confronts white women with a loaded question, which sparks a deeper discussion among the ladies as to whether white women are afraid of black women. Finally, Tiffany Odom joins the ladies to discuss the new film “Don’t Worry Darling” and its commentary on traditional gender roles.  We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Lamar Jackson has yet to receive a contract extension from the Baltimore Ravens, but that hasn’t slowed his 2022 season. Jackson has accounted for every touchdown the team has scored this season and is on pace to surpass his stats from his 2019 MVP season, arguably one the greatest seasons ever for an NFL quarterback. What is driving Jackson? Jason believes Lamar isn’t only a rare breed athletically, but he’s a rare breed in today’s culture — rejecting excuses and fueled by criticism. “He’s been criticized his entire career. Before the 2018 draft, Hall of Fame NFL general manager Bill Polian said Jackson should move to wide receiver. Few people believed and/or believe Jackson’s style of play is sustainable. Jackson has a boatload of doubters. Those doubters fuel his greatness. It’s a joy to watch. It speaks to the importance of criticism and the danger of excuses.” "Fearless" soldier T.J. Moe joins the discussion of how the media’s protection of black athletes from criticism is detrimental to their success. Steve Kim joins the show to hit all the NFL headlines including the sideline showdown between the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and his offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Plus, coach Jason Brown joins "Fearless" to discuss Lamar Jackson’s continued success despite criticism from pundits like himself, and he sparks a great conversation that leads Jason to unload the truth about the lack of black coaches in the NFL.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Almost immediately after the news broke surrounding Boston’s Ime Udoka’s impending suspension for multiple sexual relationships with women in the Celtics' organization, the refrain on social media became "but what about Brett Favre?" Former NFL QB Robert Griffin III went as far to say that if you have a bigger problem with an adulterous NBA coach than an accused former NFL fraudster, you are part of the problem. Jason rejects the false Favre equivalency but says there is something that ties the two stories together, and it has nothing to do with race. “We should be talking about the sense of entitlement pervasive among athletes and other celebrities because of our culture’s out-of-control idolatry. Entitlement explains the behavior of Favre, Udoka, and virtually all of America’s celebrities.” "Fearless" soldier Steve Kim returns to join the conversation about idolatry and entitlement and about Stephen A. Smith’s rebuke of fellow ESPN personality Malika Andrews' charge of victim-blaming. Former NBA star Royce White adds the athlete’s perspective to the discussion. Plus, viewer Len Cabrera joins the show to share his theory on how HBO’s "House of the Dragon" is actually a sad reflection of the current state of America. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Almost immediately when the news broke of Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka facing a one-year suspension over at least one extramarital affair with a team staff member, the question became, "Why such a harsh punishment?" The NBA recently banned Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for the same amount of time over repeated racist and sexist behavior. Cue Stephen A. Smith. The ESPN blowhard immediately decided racism was the motivation behind the lengthy banishment. Jason is here to put Smith back in his place and examine the damage done when everything is filtered through the lens of race. "Fearless" soldier Steve Kim joins the discussion and adds his thoughts on the race-baiting aspects of the story. Then, Shemeka Michelle, Jill Savage, and Tiffany Odom enter the discussion of Udoka and the rumors surrounding rock star Adam Levine. Jason asks the questions: Is it wise to date a celebrity, and is it unrealistic to expect men to engage in monogamy? Finally, Delano Squires adds a biblical perspective to the story and explores whether Boston needs credit for taking a moral stand against Udoka’s behavior. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Kaepernick disease is a deadly form of arrogance, shallowness, narcissism, and wokeness. The disease is triggered when agents, handlers, and media influencers convince young athletes their mission is to be more than athletes. Jason believes it just may be what’s ailing Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s 2022 season. There is no vaccine, but if diagnosed early, it can be treated. That was not the case for NFL flame-outs like Josh Rosen, Robert Griffin III, Colin Kaepernick, and Cam Newton. Jason has seen this all before. “I was ridiculed and reviled for arguing that their egos and off-field ambitions would undermine their success. That’s what I see potentially happening with Joe Burrow. He wants to be more than an athlete. He wants to be a fashionista. He wants to engage in political discussions. He’s distracted and cocky. He’s headed down the same path as Rosen, Griffin, Newton, and Kaepernick. Those guys all ignored my warning and continued down the path of destruction.” Fearless Army members T.J. Moe and Steve Kim join Jason to discuss Burrow’s struggles. The leftist tribune known as the Atlantic recently published a feature arguing that separating sports based on sex doesn’t make sense. Delano Squires joins Jason to destroy that notion. Plus, in "Tennessee Harmony," Pastor Anthony Walker stops in to walk us through recent comments from MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough regarding Jesus and abortion.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

CNN’s Don Lemon attempted to use a discussion about the British monarchy to call for reparations because of England’s colonial past. His guest, Hilary Fordwich, immediately flipped the slavery reparations narrative around and silenced Lemon. Jason says that even though Lemon went speechless on the matter, reparations is a conversation that America needs to have. “We need to discuss reparations in America. It’s a critical issue that impacts the mindset of many black Americans. Many black people believe America owes us for the oppression of our ancestors.” That reparations mindset leading to an attitude of entitlement isn’t one that Jason subscribes to. “America does not owe me. I owe America. I owe my ancestors.” "Fearless" soldiers T.J. Moe and Shemeka Michelle explore the topic of reparations and its damaging effects on the advancement of black Americans. Plus, Steve Kim joins Jason and T.J. to hit the headlines from Monday Night Football as well as the second-most talked about slap of 2022. Was Kyler Murray actually “slapped” by a fan? The Fearless Commission breaks down the film. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Kyler Murray’s monetary value to the NFL far surpasses his physical stature in the league. Murray’s athleticism is hypnotic and can be replicated only within the binary world of video games. It reminds Jason of another athlete with dynamic skills in a diminutive package, NBA star Allen Iverson. “Right now, Kyler Murray is football’s Allen Iverson. You might read that analogy as high praise. It’s not,” Jason says. “Iverson won an MVP trophy, but never won an NBA title. … I enjoy watching Kyler Murray. I don’t envision him winning a Super Bowl.” The Arizona Cardinals attempted to put a study clause in Murray’s contract. Jason fully expects to see him openly mocking the idea of practice the same way Iverson famously has. "Fearless" soldiers T.J. Moe and Steve Kim join Jason for a discussion of the biggest headlines around the NFL, including Tua’s turnaround in Miami and what it says about former Dolphins coach Brian Flores. Former “Last Chance U” star Jason Brown returns to the show. Jason asks whether his opinion of Kyler Murray changed after Sunday’s spectacular comeback win. His answer will surprise you. Plus, Jason prepares the eulogy for HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” declaring the show is dead to him.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Jason brought the heat in this week’s Firestarters. Torching former Fox Sports colleague Shannon Sharpe for his attack on Brett Favre, Joe Biden for leading the way for the Black KKK and Viola Davis’ latest film ‘The Woman King’ for its rewriting of history to further the black matriarchal and BLM agenda.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

The marketing campaign for "The Woman King" says it's based on true events. Jason says it's actually a work of make-believe carefully crafted in the BLM factory in Hollywood. “Factual history tells a much different story than the fantasy spun in 'The Woman King.' In the movie, General Nanisca convinces King Ghezo to abandon the slave trade and the female warriors thwart the white colonizers. It’s all fantasy. The French routed the Amazon warriors and the British forced Dahomey to give up the slave trade in the 1850s.” It’s simple to see the real goal of the film. “History isn’t the point of 'The Woman King.' Message is. The movie is on message. Men are evil.” "Fearless" soldiers Shemeka Michelle and Delano Squires join the show to discuss this work of matriarchal propaganda, complete with its ode to the greatest female warrior of our time: Breonna Taylor.  We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
