Shannon Sharpe’s luck may have just run out. On today’s episode of "Fearless," Jason dives into how the culture is reacting to Sharpe’s latest controversy. Charlamagne tells him to “settle down,” while Dr. Umar says he’ll stand with Sharpe — if he stops messing with the snow bunnies. But the icing on the cake? The ever-delusional “straight shooter” himself, Stephen A. Smith, questions Sharpe’s legal team: Was releasing all those te...

Shannon Sharpe is back in the news — and for all the wrong reasons. No Instagram Live leaks this time … it’s even worse. A $50 million lawsuit has been filed against Sharpe over rape allegations. Jason, however, isn’t surprised. He points out that Sharpe has a history of troubling interactions with women and says that we’ve become so desensitized as a society that public shame no longer exists. In America, shame has gone extinct. S...

Welcome back to "Fearless." We hope you had a blessed Easter! Jason is joined by Steve Kim, discussing Deion Sanders defending the retirement of Shedeur's jersey, questioning if it would be considered without the last name connection. Clay Travis suggests Stephen A. Smith could run for president, highlighting the absurdity in American politics. Mike Florio comments on the deportation of an MS-13 member and the liberal defense of cr...

Today on "Fearless," we revisit the topic of Karmelo Anthony. Dominique Alexander spoke at a chaotic press conference where Jeff Metcalf, Austin Metcalf's father, was attacked. Alexander attempted to blame the school for not canceling the track meet, while Karmelo Anthony's father remained silent. His comments were confusing, and he frequently referred to the Next Generation Action Network. Jake Lang, a participant in the January 6...

Today marks day three of the Great NBA Reset with Jason and Skap. However, the cultural debate surrounding Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony is reaching a boiling point. A newly formed group, Protect White Americans, is organizing a protest in defense of white people. But does this actually solve anything? It’s beginning to feel like a repeat of January 6. Why stoop to the level of BLM? Shemeka Michelle joins the conversation to w...

Let’s Make Fans Matter Again! Welcome to day two of the Great NBA Reset. Jason and Jay Skapinac (aka Skap Attack) dive into potential off-season solutions the NBA could implement to create even more compelling content off the court. The NBA fan base has been completely overlooked. The media, once the voice of the fans, is now treated more like the players. But it's the fans who fuel the NBA engine — never bite the hand that feeds y...

Today is the day of the Great NBA Reset! Basketball has fallen from its once esteemed place among sports. Now it’s full of entitled children who will sell out in a heartbeat for the bag. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Have no fear, though, because Jason Whitlock is here. On today’s special episode of "Fearless," Jason, joined by YouTuber and NBA analyst Jay Skapinac (Skap Attack), unpacks his plan to save the NBA from its o...

Welcome back to this "Fearless" Monday! Stephen A. Smith goes on ABC and starts flaunting his presidential run. Whitlock must have had a crystal ball, since his prediction of SAS becoming a puppet for the Democratic Party has come to fruition. Unfortunately, no one could predict what Stephen A. would run on. His message of standing out from the rest of the candidates is that he isn’t Trump. The next presidential election is almost ...

We don’t live in a collectivist society. Here in America, everyone has their own individual identity — beyond simply being an American. On today’s episode of "Fearless," Jason explores the “prison mentality” that has taken hold of our nation’s culture. This mindset was especially evident in the support for Karmelo Anthony, who allegedly claims self-defense in the killing of Austin Metcalf. We’ve become such a godless society that a...

As “diss culture” continues to rage across America, more and more people are falling victim to the influence of black culture. On today’s episode of "Fearless," Jason reacts to former NBA player Stephen Jackson’s explanation of a viral video showing him “checking in on O Block.” Jackson’s pursuit of drugs and alcohol in the presence of gang members highlights the very issues plaguing the black community. Why glorify that lifestyle?...

The last thing this country needs is more division. The tragic murder of Austin Metcalf has only deepened that divide. On today’s episode of "Fearless," Jason addresses Nick Fuentes’ anti-black rant. This murder was a tragedy — plain and simple. It doesn’t need to be turned into a racial issue. Those on both sides of the political aisle who are choosing sides based on race — even those defending Austin Metcalf — are two sides of th...

Jason congratulates the Florida Gators on winning the national championship, then turns his attention to exposing the fraudulence of Stephen A. Smith’s presidential  campaign, Nick Fuentes’ race-baiting and Christian faith, and Jasmine Crockett’s ghetto schtick. On Monday, Smith announced he’s not closing the door on running for president, Fuentes subtweeted Whitlock about Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf, and Jasmine Crockett sp...

If you’ve already picked a side in the Austin Metcalf–Karmelo Anthony case based solely on race — you’re missing the point entirely. On today’s "Fearless," Jason tackles the emotional and complicated layers of this tragedy. The internet is ablaze with hot takes, but Jason challenges viewers to look deeper — not through the lens of race but through the lens of truth, fear, and ultimately, forgiveness. While the motives behind Karmel...

Today, we unpack the NFL’s latest moves: Does paying Geno Smith signal that Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders are ready to pass on Shedeur Sanders? We step into Deion and Shedeur Sanders’ world. Would you step up to help Shilo Sanders or let him fend for himself? In the NBA, we debate Nikola Jokic’s legacy — only one championship, no All-Star teammates. Does he still crack the top 20 of all time? Plus, we’re asking the tough ques...

While Netflix's war on white men rages on, 18-year-old Division 1 football commit Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death last night in Frisco, Texas. Jason investigates the degradation of black culture in America. The media would have you believe that white masculinity is the issue, while black America falls farther and farther into chaos. This heinous act calls back to the murder of a young man outside LeBron James' I Promise school....

Don’t let the Netflix title fool you — there is nothing “adolescent” about this mini-series. In a special episode of "Fearless," Jason reviews the popular Netflix show "Adolescence." What initially appears to be a crime thriller ultimately unfolds into underlying tropes that paint men — specifically white men — in a negative light. The plot follows a young white boy accused of murdering one of his female classmates as detectives at...

Well, well, well, the WNBA season is on the horizon, and the Cait hate has already begun. Jason reacts to ESPN analyst and on-air host Monica McNutt boldly proclaiming that the only reason young girls gravitate toward Caitlin Clark is because she’s white. Yes, you heard that correctly. Winston-Salem State, the alleged alma mater of arguably the crookedest shooter of all time, posts a video of the school's 1991 basketball team. Sitt...

It looks like Whitlock isn’t the only one who has had enough of the Stephen A.-LeBron feud that has gone on far too long. OutKick’s Bobby Burack interviews ESPN sportswriter and host of "Pardon the Interruption" Michael Wilbon, who opens up about the state of the sports media world. Not only does Wilbon think this feud is a joke, but he also believes both LeBron and Stephen A. are acting like unprofessional children. Additionally, ...

What started as a mild confrontation has now exploded into the biggest sports media story in the country. On today’s episode of "Fearless," Jason — later joined by Steve Kim — dives into the almost reality-TV-like drama unfolding between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith. Lines are being drawn, and sports pundits are picking sides. Even Kendrick Perkins found himself blocked on social media by LeBron for siding with Stephen A. But ...

On today’s Fearless, Jason pulls back the curtain on how out of touch LeBron James really is. This past week, LeBron appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where he discussed his ongoing beef with the NBA media and shared his thoughts on the future of the league. Jason breaks down how LeBron didn’t quite fit the vibe of McAfee’s show. McAfee thrives in the world of casual, frat-boy humor and freewheeling energy, but LeBron’s discomfort w...
