The NBA is so bad that not even Caitlin Clark wants to be associated with it. As the National Basketball Association continues to decline, more and more people are distancing themselves from the once-heralded association. Whitlock points out that poor leadership has led to the plateau in viewership the NBA has seen recently. Adam Silver has no idea how to get the train back on the tracks, as he even suggests that teams should play only 10-minute quarters, just like the WNBA. Even worse, Caitlin Clark turned down the NBA's offer to participate in a three-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend. Someone better grab a life raft, because this ship is sinking. Steve Kim joins Jason to weigh in on the NBA's decline while also covering the unrivaled league's surprising ratings, Bill Belichick wanting to rename the Lombardi Trophy after Tom Brady, Joe Montana saying Dan Marino is the best quarterback of all time, Cam Newton stirring the pot and framing Dwight Howard as gay, and the new movement to boycott the Super Bowl. Later, T.J. Moe joins "Fearless" to debate whether Tony Dungy running for Senate in Michigan is a good idea. The former Super Bowl-winning coach is currently part of NBC's "Football Night in America." Assuming Dungy's Christian faith aligns him with the Republican MAGA movement, a career in politics would almost certainly end his TV career, especially at NBC. Wrapping up our show, Shemeka Michelle discusses a recent Vanity Fair article debunking the Obama drama. Is this just an attempt to cover up what could be the start of the collapse of the Democratic Party? Tune in to find out. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
