Happy day before hump day. Happy Tuesday. I'm Jason Whitlock. Welcome to Fearless with Jason

Whitlock. I'm going to dispense. I'm going to quit updating you guys on Uncle Jimmy. He's doing great. Talk to him last night. The best I've heard him sound. I think he's getting some stitches out maybe early next week.

But keep on, Uncle Jimmy, your thoughts and prayers. We can't wait to have him back here. I think I'm hoping next week he'll join us via Skype.

But we certainly appreciate your positive energy and good thoughts and prayers. But the show must roll on. And lucky for you, I'm still here. And I've got a great show plan for us today. And awesome show.

The smartest man on the show, Delano Squires, going to be here. He's written a blockbuster column. We'll get into that with him. That'll probably be in about an hour, I would think.

Shemika Michelle, she's going to be on the show to help me talk about Cam Newton and Netflix and the potential walk out by Netflix employees will talk to Shemika Michelle about that.

But we'll have my Asian brother from another mother. Steve Kim on the show very shortly. He's going to help me start a fire. Although I'm going to start this fire all by myself. He's going to help me keep the blaze going after I start this fire.

I've got a smoker. I've got a real smoker. It's one of my favorite columns. I've ever written. It's one of my favorite monos. I've ever written. And it picks up on what we were talking about yesterday. Larry Miller and Nike and what's what's really going on.

I've got a chance to do some additional research and kind of finalize my thoughts on that whole issue. And we're going to get into it today in a big way because it won't just be about Larry Miller. I'm going to broaden the discussion and try to explain to you how it applies to all of America, to sport illustrated, to all the corruption we're seeing.

Anyway, fantastic show. Buckle up and get ready. First thing I need you to do before you give away my mom, the first thing I need you to do is hit that subscribe and like button.

Nike founder Phil Knight. He's the modern day Don Corleone. The Mafia kingpin portrayed in the iconic Godfather movies. For writing this, I have expected to find a horses head lying beneath the covers of my bed.

Maybe Phil Knight will dispatch one of his soldiers to make me an offer. I can't refuse. Perhaps it will be Larry Miller, the chairman of Jordan brand. The Phil Knight soldier profile on the cover of the latest sports illustrated in a glowing 2800 word,

the biography slash biography written by Howard Beck Miller confesses to murdering an 18 year old black boy in 1965 while a member of the Philadelphia street gang.

The Philadelphia contains Miller is confessing to the murder. This is his second confession. He confesses to the police a day after the murder. But he it contains he's confessing the murder on the pages of sports illustrated because he and his daughter are writing a memoir of his life and he was afraid the details of the crime would leak.

This is why I analogize Phil Knight to veto Corleone, the Don of Don's. If you remember in Godfather 1, Don Corleone uses his friends in the media to write a friendly narrative about his son Michael murdering a dirty New York cop.

Only Knight and Nike have the power to get sports illustrated to write a puff piece about an executive who rose to power while concealing the fact that from age 13 to 30 he was a violent and routinely incarcerated member of a street gang.

The story contains that Miller worked alongside Knight, Michael Jordan and NBA commissioners David Stern and Adam Silver for nearly three decades without their knowledge of his criminal past.
