Summary

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, he delivers a massive critique of how newsrooms operate at a fraction of their former capacity due to remote work responsibilities. Will sports media ever return to its former glory? Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on the Michael Wilbon interview, as well as the snoozefest that is the 2025 NCAA basketball tournament, the Pistons-Timberwolves all-out brawl, and Deion Sanders' new contract with Colorado. Also joining the show later in the day is everyone’s favorite "Fearless" first lady, Shemeka Michelle, as she elaborates on Jasmine Crockett’s recent bashing of U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds on "The Breakfast Club." Is Jasmine Crockett the next Kamala Harris? Lastly, Jason ends the show by discussing the "fearless" and outspoken nature of Auburn’s basketball coach, Bruce Pearl. While many believe his MAGA attitude is his authentic self, Whitlock has another point of view that might shock you. Thanks for joining us on this "Fearless" Monday. Tune in!

0:00.0	Welcome, Welcome to Fearless with Jason Whitlock. I am Jason Whitlock, your host. I'm a bit unshaven.
0:28.5	But I am prepared to deliver an awesome show on this Monday morning. I hope you are prepared for where we're going to go today.
0:40.7	We're going to start talking about Mike Wilbon's interview with Bobby Burak and Outkick.
0:48.1	We're going to pivot into a discussion about the NCAA tournament and four number one seeds advancing
0:57.0	to the final four. And we could end up in the women's bracket with three number one
1:04.0	seeds. I don't think USC without Juju Watkins is going to make the final four. I don't
1:10.0	think they can beat UCon without the best player in college basketball.
1:14.6	And so a number two-see, but it's all chalk all over this NCAA tournament, both men's and women's.
1:21.7	I'm going to tell you why I don't like it and why it's all a byproduct of name, image, and likeness and the transfer portal and how they've just destroyed college basketball.
1:34.3	We'll also talk about the Pistons T. Wolves brawl from last night. Is this a big deal, little deal, or no deal?
1:48.5	And Dionne Sanders got a brand spanking new contract. We will discuss that as well. So, oh, and then Shemika Michelle will come on. We'll talk
1:57.3	about Jasmine Crockett and Byron Donald's, who Jasmine Crockett has a problem
2:03.5	with Byron Donald's white wife. We'll talk about that with Shemika Michelle. And then after
2:08.7	Shemika Michelle, don't go anywhere. I'm going to end the show with some interesting thoughts on
2:17.1	Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers
2:19.2	and their accomplishment of making it to the final four.
2:24.5	An amazing show.
2:26.7	I got a lot to get off my chest.
2:29.0	Steve Kim will join me.
2:30.0	Shamika Michelle will join me.
2:31.9	And at the beginning and end of the show, it'll just be you and me.
2:37.7	Because I got a lot to say.
