Does rapid retirement of Shedeur Sanders’ jersey forecast a Deion exit?



#2 has been scratched off the list of available jersey numbers for future Colorado Buffaloes players. Just three months after his college football career ended, Shedeur Sanders, Deion Sanders’ youngest son, had his jersey retired. It now resides in Folsom Field, the Buffaloes' home stadium.

Most athletes have to wait years for such an honor. Occasionally, the standard is bent for extraordinary players or in cases of tragic death. Neither applies to Shedeur.

Jason Whitlock says the move to retire his jersey screams nepotism and potentially foreshadows Deion’s exit.

Rashaan Salaam, the University of Colorado’s first Heisman trophy winner, had to wait 23 years for his jersey to be retired, says Jason. Compare that to Shedeur, who “after going 13-12, 1-8 against top 25 opponents” gets “spanked in his only bowl game appearance.”

“He’s like the George Floyd of college football, getting statues and tributes and memorials undeserved,” he adds.

In a press conference, Deion was asked about the controversial decision to retire Shedeur’s jersey. Clearly agitated, he snapped, “If his last name wasn't Sanders, we wouldn't have this discussion.”

“Yes, because if his last name wasn't Sanders, his number wouldn't be retired,” says Jason. “Deion Sanders has turned his son into his sugar baby; he's made him an idol.”

Sanders went on to argue that waiting years to bestow honor on someone is outdated and that we’re in the “now generation,” where instant gratification is the norm.

“I give you your flowers now; I'm not going to wait 20 years down the street, then to bring you back when you limping and barely walk or some tragedy happens to recognize your greatness and what you contributed to this program,” he said, noting that Shedeur and Travis Hunter, whose jersey was also retired, “deserve what they deserve right now.”

“Everything we get is right now; we want something, we order off Amazon right now. We ain't in no waiting generation no more. That's over. That’s a wrap on that,” Deion added.

While he may be right about the nature of our now-obsessed culture, it doesn’t mean we should embrace it as good.

“This is idolatry,” says Jason. “I’m embarrassed for Deion Sanders.”

“Fearless” guest Steve Kim adds, “When Coach Prime said if his name was not Sanders we wouldn't be talking about it, it’s the most unironic self-own I've ever seen. I'm like, ‘Yeah, Coach, we all agree.”’

“I know for a fact that a lot of the great Colorado Buffaloes that have that big shiny 1990 co-national championship ring, who built that program, they're not happy about this,” he says.

Steve argues that the real reason Shedeur’s jersey was retired is not because we’re in the “now generation” but rather because “at this point, Deion Sanders has the leverage.”

Jason agrees. “This to me screams this is Deion’s final year at Colorado” because if he was planning to stay, he would have waited longer than three months to retire his son’s jersey.

Phase 2 of Karmelo Anthony PYSOP: Trial relocation



Jason Whitlock sums up Karmelo Anthony’s alleged fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf as follows: “A 17-year-old brought a knife to a high school event and stabbed someone over a typical teenage disagreement.”

Even though “this thing is so clear-cut,” the left is bent on using this atrocity to fuel a race war, and thus far, it’s working.

Some are trying to justify Anthony’s actions by saying Metcalf started it; Metcalf put his hands on Anthony; Metcalf called him the N-word.

But even if all three of those things are true, it still wouldn’t justify Anthony’s actions.

“I don't care if Austin Metcalf grabbed this dude's arm, grabbed his book pack,” says Jason. “I've been called the N-word by black people and white people throughout my life. Never grabbed a knife and stabbed anyone, never pulled a gun and shot anyone.”

“If you have that little self-control, if you're that easily triggered … you need to be on a reservation somewhere locked away from the rest of humanity and society that has more emotional control than that and doesn't buy into a culture that says any disrespect must be met with more disrespect,” he adds.

This "free Karmelo Anthony" “insanity” that we’re seeing, however, is “scripted insanity.” The whole ordeal, from the stories about Anthony’s family living a lavish lifestyle using the GiveSendGo funds to the support messages they’re receiving, is all part of a psyop that depends on stoking white fury.

The best thing white Americans can do is not play into it by adopting the same racial tactics.

Jason points to January 6 defendant Jake Lang as an example. While he respects Lang for “what he went through on January 6,” organizing a protest in Frisco with the slogan “protect white Americans” makes it clear that he doesn’t see “the big picture.”

A protest that “drums up more racial division” is exactly what they want.

“They want Charlottesville 2.0; they want January 6 2.0; they want some sort of race war, and they're going to send agitators to make sure that happens,” says Jason.

They need a racial conflict to ignite the next phase of their plan: relocating Anthony’s trial.

“The argument coming out of that will be we got to change venues — you can't have this trial in Collin County; you can't have this trial in Denton County. … We have to move this trial somewhere where we can get more black jurors on the jury,” predicts Jason.

“They want jury nullification; they want a mistrial; they want a hung jury. They know this kid is guilty, but they also know that black Americans have been so programmed, have been so brainwashed into anything that hurts white people is good for black people,” he explains.

This is why “they're happy that Jake Lang is leading a 'protect white Americans' rally in Frisco, Texas.”

Career criminal representing Karmelo Anthony sows chaos, blatantly disrespects victim's father



An activist from Next Generation Action Network is not only representing accused teen killer Karmelo Anthony but has a lengthy rap sheet of his own.

Minister Dominique Alexander, the appointed spokesperson for the alleged teen murderer, has been convicted on child abuse charges and allegations of domestic violence, but served almost zero prison time.

While on probation, Alexander was indicted on felony forgery charges, then in 2017 on felony theft charges of property between $2,500 and $30,000.

“The guy’s been convicted of several crimes,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments. “He’s reinvented himself as some sort of black activist. That’s the first sign that hey, there’s a problem here. A career criminal is the face of, ‘Hey, I’m fighting for justice for Karmelo Anthony and his family.’”


“They’re looking for justice for Karmelo Anthony,” Whitlock continues. “Who would take on that job? ‘We gotta get justice for the guy that [allegedly] stabbed and killed a 17-year-old.’ Who would do that? And why?”

And the latest press conference for Anthony’s family, led by Alexander, revealed Alexander’s true colors when Jeff Metcalf, the father of the slain teenager Austin Metcalf, showed up at the press conference himself.

“The father being at this press conference … is a disrespect to the dignity of his son,” said Alexander.

“That was disrespectful and just shows you all the character — he was not invited, he knows that it’s inappropriate to be near this family, but he did it,” the Next Generation Action Network president added.

“So this press conference that went 30 minutes yesterday started out with Dominique Alexander, the career criminal, the baby Al Sharpton of Texas. Austin Metcalf’s father, who came to the press conference. He wanted to hear what Karmelo Anthony and his family and their spokesman had to say,” Whitlock says.

“And they booted Austin Metcalf’s dad out of the press conference, and then Dominique Alexander, the man with virtually no command of the English language, took a dump on Austin Metcalf’s father,” he continues, adding, “Who’s the real victim here?”

Whitlock: Karmelo Anthony PSYOP goes FULL OJ Simpson



As Jason Whitlock watches the fallout of Karmelo Anthony’s fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, he’s reminded of O.J. Simpson’s 1995 trial. It was one of the most racially charged trials in U.S. history, exposing and deepening racial divides between black and white Americans.

“Karmelo Anthony is about to be the new O.J. Simpson,” says Whitlock.

“Black people celebrated when O.J. got off, and I'm not 100% that O.J. was the actual killer, but I certainly wasn't celebrating when O.J. got off, because O.J. had something to do with that crime, and everybody knows it,” he continues. “We celebrated it — ‘we paid the white man back; O.J. got off’ — [we celebrated] that two white people were murdered,” and now “we're doing it again with Karmelo Anthony.”

This entire ordeal is “a psyop,” says Jason, and the people who are behind it “want to frustrate white people” and “promote a racial conflict.”

The recent stories about Karmelo Anthony’s family purchasing a $900K home in a gated community and an Escalade using the funds from the "Help Karmelo Official Fund” are likely false or stretched truths designed to “raise the temperature” and “trigger people,” he says.

“They're putting out this false information because a psyop is going on, and I'm not seeing community notes to shut down the psyop, to shut down the bad information. They want everyone riled up; they want everybody saying, ‘Man, you see black folks gave a half million dollars to Karmelo Anthony?’”

The truth, he says, is that a facet of the black community is rallying behind Karmelo, but “most black people don't know or don't really care.”

“But online we've certainly created the perception that we are all on board with Karmelo Anthony,” Jason sighs, theorizing that the supportive comments on Karmelo’s GiveSendGo fund are most likely AI generated.

White Americans, he says, need to recognize that this psyop is designed to run on white fury.

“I understand why white people are frustrated, but why would you adopt the same tactics — racial idolatry — as the people you allegedly oppose?” he asks. “They want people to go, ‘Yeah, we're going to peacefully protest in Frisco, Texas,’ and then they're going to have their agitators there.”

Just because Donald Trump won the election does not mean the race war between black and white Americans is over.

“The war is not over by any stretch. They're doubling down, and they have Karmelo Anthony; he's the new O.J. Simpson; he's the new George Floyd, and we're falling for the trap; we're falling for all the triggers,” Jason warns.

“What is crystal clear to anybody with a brain is that Karmelo Anthony did something murderous, immoral, and stupid, and the people that want to promote a racial conflict have clearly reached out to the family and said, ‘We got 30 pieces of silver, and we'll help you out as long as you allow us to use you in the manner that we need you to be used to spark this racial conflict,”’ he explains.

He wants everyone to understand that Karmelo Anthony and his family are “pawns on a chessboard being moved around by the globalists and the people that want this country to devolve into racial conflict.”

Forced grins and old tensions: Hailey Van Lith reunites with Angel Reese in Chicago



On Monday, April 14, the WNBA held its 2025 draft in New York City. TCU guard Hailey Van Lith was selected by the Chicago Sky with the No. 11 overall pick in the first round, which means she’ll be reuniting with her old LSU teammate Angel Reese.

In a post-draft interview, Van Lith was told that she was walking into “some good energy” in Chicago. In response, she seemed to force a grin and replied, “Oh, I love that energy.”

Jason Whitlock says there’s no chance she actually loves the kind of energy Angel Reese brings to a team.

Shortly after the draft, Reese posted a message on X that seemed to confirm the suspected tension between her and Van Lith:

— (@)

“Fearless” guest Jay Skapinac says, “I think if I'm reading in between the lines, these two did not enjoy playing with each other the first time.”

Jason agrees: “I think she's already experienced what it's like to play with Angel Reese, who is a narcissist and selfish, and my understanding is a nightmare for all teammates to deal with.”

On top of making enemies on the court, Reese is also no stranger to making enemies off it with her “whining about equal pay” and complaining that “she’s underpaid.”

“She's only making $70,000 to jack up brick layups and airball layups somehow in games that no one wants to watch. ‘Oh poor me, I’m only making $70,000,’ not mentioning the additional couple million she's making in sponsorship and additional revenues allotted to her from playing in these games,” Skap mocks.

Clearly, Reese isn’t hurting that bad financially because she recently posted about buying a house. Her announcement was delivered in typical Angel Reese fashion.

— (@)

“She's been to two universities — Maryland and LSU. You would think she would have learned something and know how to communicate proper English, but she's leaning into her Jasmine Crockett,” sighs Jason.

ABC News EDITED Stephen A. Smith interview on presidential bid?



In an exclusive interview on ABC News, Stephen A. Smith discussed the possibility of running for president. However, Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” has noticed a glaring error in the interview — that is, that ABC and Disney may have edited the footage in order to favor him.

“Did you catch it? Did you catch those examples of this clip being edited?” Whitlock says. “Early on, like 30 seconds in there, there’s a little gap where I think Stephen A. and they edited the clip. And it’s Kamala Harris-type editing.”

Whitlock notes that Smith also works for ESPN, a Disney product, which is a curious connection — especially considering the interviewer didn’t ask him one hard or critical question.


“They’re paying you $20 million a year to talk about sports nonstop. Stephen A., given all that, given your job, what you’ve been doing, how hyper-focused you’ve been on sports, what makes you qualified to be the president of the United States?” Whitlock asks as if he were interviewing him.

“Why isn’t that the first question?” he asks. “Why do they go to, ‘Stephen A., what’s your reaction to what Donald Trump is doing?’”

While Smith certainly has a right to critique the president, Whitlock doesn’t believe only critiquing the president while planning to run for his position in the future is a good look.

“I mean, seriously. Stephen A. Smith works at ESPN. He’s an employee. It’s not like he’s run some major company and has a hundred people that are direct reports to him or that he oversees a bunch of people that have direct reports to him,” Whitlock says.

“He sits on TV and talks about sports. And now he’s flirting with the idea of being president of the United States,” he adds.

LeBron James ‘dolls up’ for Barbie, EMASCULATES his brand



If the trend of men fighting to play in women’s sports wasn’t enough, men’s sports stars are now being immortalized as Barbie dolls — and LeBron James is first on the list.

Mattel has announced that the NBA superstar is officially its first-ever Barbie “Kenbassador.”

“As a young kid, I was fortunate to have role models who not only inspired me but also showed me what’s possible through hard work and dedication,” James said in a statement about the partnership. “Now, as an adult, I understand how vital it is for young people to have positive figures to look up to.”

“That’s why partnering with Barbie to release the LeBron James Kenbassadors doll is such an honor. It’s an opportunity to recognize the powerful impact of role models who instill confidence, inspire dreams, and show kids that they, too, can achieve greatness,” he concluded.


Jason Whitlock and Shemeka Michelle of “Fearless” aren’t too concerned with the partnership, but they aren’t certain it’s a good move.

“I think he’s a decent role model for young black kids, and that depends on whether or not he was actually at those Diddy parties,” Michelle tells Whitlock. “That’s going to muddy up everything."

“This LeBron doll will probably be a house husband,” she adds.

“I think that if LeBron’s brand were as strong as it was supposed to be, they would have done some doll through Nike and some LeBron James action figure through Nike,” Whitlock says. “But because his brand isn’t that strong, he’s partnered with Barbie.”

“He’s trying to somewhat leech off their audience and their brand,” he continues. “He can’t get there; he’s so polarized his own brand that he needs to partner with Barbie. And it sounds like I’m being hyper negative towards LeBron, but I’m just telling you the facts.”

Whitlock believes that James’ brand isn’t reaching as many as it would “if he had chosen the Michael Jordan lane” and stayed out of politics.

“But he’s been out here trying an MLK Ultra,” Whitlock adds.

Luka’s 45-point revenge: Whitlock says Mavs trade is WAY deeper than just stupidity



On Wednesday, April 9, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks faced off on Dallas’ home court with the Lakers coming out victorious for the second time since Luka Dončić was traded to the team back in February. In the first game back in February, Dončić put up 19 points.

In the second game, however, his performance was truly astonishing. Dončić scored 45 points against his old team that traded him – a generational talent and the former face of the franchise – for 32-year-old Anthony Davis.

The trade has been condemned by many sports critics as the worst trade in NBA history. In response to Luka's staggering performance, ESPN analyst and former NBA player Jay Williams called the trade “basketball treason” and “self sabotage.” The scoreboard seems to confirm it.

Are the Mavs regretting their decision to let Luka go?

Well, that all depends on why they made the trade in the first place. Jason Whitlock and Jay Skapinac, host of “Skap Attack,” debate the real reason behind the Luka trade.

Skap chalks it up to pure stupidity on the part of Mav’s general manager Nico Harrison.

Harrison and Mavs ownership “lost their minds” when they traded Dončić – “an absolute generational star,” he says.

“The only two players ever to score at least 30 points per game in their playoff careers [are] Michael Jordan and Luka Dončić, and they trade that guy for Anthony Davis and one first round draft pick?” he asks in disbelief.

Skap predicts that the Mavs’ ship will sink early in the play-in tournament, if they can maintain their play-in position, while the Lakers, thanks to their new addition, may become “the best team in the Western conference.”

“Thanks for nothing, Nico Harrison and the Dallas Mavericks,” he sighs.

Whitlock, however, doesn’t think it’s that simple. Anybody who knows the basics of basketball understands that trading Luka is basketball suicide, so there must be another reason behind it.

Two theories have him interested.

Theory #1: The NBA pushed for the trade because they “wanted LeBron to have a playoff run.”

Theory #2: The trade was spurred by the owners — the Adelson family — who want to use the team to “leverage their way into a casino and new arena.”

“Blaming Nico is an easy way out,” says Whitlock.

Nick Fuentes goes full ‘Black Lives Matter’ on Jason Whitlock



There are a few far-right commentators orbiting the conservative space who stir controversy at every chance they get, and Nick Fuentes is one of them.

Recently, the young podcaster set his sights on Jason Whitlock of “Fearless,” seemingly blaming him — and the color of his skin — for Fuentes’ own powerlessness over how others perceive him.

“You are a token,” Fuentes began. “Hey, Jason, you’re a token. You are in conservative media as a black guy that can confer upon white people the dignity of not being called a racist for having their views. That’s why you get paid, and that’s why I don’t, because I didn’t have the privilege of being born black.”

“I was born white, so there’s a limit on what I can say. There’s a limit on what I can say without being penalized in the so-called free marketplace of ideas, and everybody knows it,” he continued. “And everybody’s sick of it, especially in the conservative space, that blacks have had it easy.”


While Fuentes went on to say that he’s sure Whitlock is “a sincere person,” he kept attempting to bash the “Fearless” host by saying he’s “playing by a different set of rules,” has “training wheels on,” and calling him “pal.”

“If you said the stuff that you said as a white person, your a** would be gone,” he added.

Whitlock found the clip of Fuentes bashing him to be rife with “jealousy.”

“There’s a couple things going on here. There’s jealousy, there’s some sort of belief that I’m immune to the consequences of my journalistic standards, of my approach to journalism,” Whitlock says, noting that Fuentes compared him to a much younger former BlazeTV host.

“I’m in my 50s, and he’s comparing me to a child who was at the beginning of his career in the media, and expects that a child, in this profession, should be treated like a decorated military veteran in this profession,” Whitlock says, adding, “That’s a level of privilege that they want that perhaps is irrational.”

“And the assertion that I’ve been given everything, oh boy, that’s quite a stretch. But he can have that narrative,” Whitlock continues. “The one thing I do want to answer to is this thought that I’m here to confer dignity on white conservatives.”

“I’m here to defend Christian values. I’m here to defend anyone that stands on Christian values, and I don’t want Christian values demonized as racist,” he adds. “I want to confer dignity to God’s truth, and I don’t want it smeared and promoted as racist or harmful for black people, and that’s what they’ve been doing.”

Jasmine Crockett EXPOSED for ‘code switching’ on the black community



Like many public officials before her, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) appears to change the way she’s speaking depending on who she’s speaking to — especially when her audience is largely black.

“I know black church, y’all. I know how we are, okay? And you ain't got to admit it, okay? ‘Cause I know. So you don’t have to admit, but literally, and even if we take it out of church, when we talk about black culture, I’ma be real with you and tell you that black culture has never really been one that has embraced the LGBTQIA community,” Crockett said in a recent appearance at a black church.

“This is just a reality. So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is ain't none of y’all trying to go and farm right now,” she continued. “We done pickin’ cotton. We are. You can’t pay us enough to find a plantation.”


Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” isn’t surprised in the slightest.

“Jasmine Crockett is at it again, appears to be speaking inside of a black church, and she wants to talk about how we done picking cotton and that’s basically the job of illegal immigrants, and this is all being met with applause,” Whitlock says.

“It’s illogical, it’s stupid, it’s denigrating work for one, and pretending as if somehow we as black people have risen above manual labor. And my belief is all work is honorable and worthy,” he continues, adding, “And then she’s also scolding, inside of a church, black people for not embracing the LGBTQIA+.”

“Not only do I find that stupid and silly inside of a black church, but I don’t even think it’s true. I think black has become the new gay, and the church has kind of just looked the other way,” he adds.

Shemeka Michelle finds Crockett’s tirade tired and disrespectful as well.

“It’s funny to me that they would allow someone like Jasmine Crockett to stand in the pulpit and be disrespectful to people, our ancestors. They are always talking about ‘the ancestors, the ancestors,’ but then they disrespect them every chance they get,” Michelle says.

“For her to say, ‘We done picking cotton,’” she continues, “You never picked cotton. You’ve never picked cotton unless it’s the thread out of the braids that you have so you could put that fat wig on your head.”

“I think it’s disrespectful when people who’ve lived very privileged lives start to act as if they were ever slaves, that they were ever whipped or beaten. It’s a joke,” she adds.
