Summary

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 four years away, so anything can happen. However, the American people have proven that they could be duped into thinking Joe Biden was physically fit to be our president … could they be duped again? SAS has the backing of Bob Iger and Disney; we better start taking his presidential aspirations seriously, or we will have another Joe Biden in the White House. In sports news, Steve Kim and Jason discuss the talented Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava reportedly wanting out of Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. There have been some NIL disputes between Iamaleava and UT’s quarterbacks coach. Nico then proceeded to skip spring practice and ultimately leave the school. This is what the unregulated NIL has created in college sports: entitled professional athletes who lack the loyalty and perseverance needed for success. These players know that some other school will offer them lucrative NIL contracts if they have an issue with their previous school. What kind of precedent are we setting for these kids? Finally, wrapping up the show, Steve and Jason discuss the tragic suicide of standout LSU football player Kyren Lacy. Lacy was preparing to be drafted in the first or second round of the 2025 NFL draft class. Praying for peace for the family of a child gone too soon. ​​Today's Sponsors: Real Estate Agents I Trust Real Estate Agents I Trust connects you with the top-performing real estate agents in your local area.
