Ep 896 | The Cinderella Story Is DEAD at March Madness Tournament | The Memory of George Foreman

Does the slipper still fit? What happened to the Cinderella story? On this Monday episode of "Fearless," Jason asks the question — where is this year’s feel-good story? March Madness has always been about the unexpected underdog, the Cinderella team that captures the nation’s heart. But this year? The magic seems to be missing. Could the NIL era be to blame for the tournament’s increasing predictability? It’s not just the action on the court that feels off; March Madness commercials are drowning in virtue-signaling. Companies like Home Depot, Experian, and Gatorade are putting NCAA women’s basketball stars front and center, while male athletes take a back seat. That’s right — men are now being used as props to highlight female athletes. Steve Kim joins the show to break down the current landscape of college basketball. Meanwhile, UConn women’s head coach Geno Auriemma has a full-blown meltdown, complaining about Arkansas State having to travel 45 minutes from the team's hotel to play. When will women’s sports stop leaning into the victimhood narrative? Outside March Madness, ESPN’s very own Stephen A. Smith gets exposed as “the Angry Black Man” by a network producer in a secret interview. Is this a hit job, or is the truth finally catching up to Stephen A.? Plus, did Steph Curry actually sink that viral full-court shot, or is there more to the story? And with Jameis Winston now leading the New York Giants, what can fans expect from the new signal-caller? Finally, Jason and Steve Kim pay tribute to one of the greatest athletes of all time — boxing legend Big George Foreman. A jam-packed episode of "Fearless" you won’t want to miss!
