Jason Whitlock skipped the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game for Caitlin Clark and Aces-Fever — because Maria Taylor is NBC’s welcome mat, not football’s. Hall of Fame weekend used to feel like church. Now “Football Night in America” greets America with a siren on the cathedral steps while Drew Brees goes into Canton, Ohio. Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” shows Odysseus using wax and rope to avoid the trap set for men. In a desperate chase of new audiences, the NFL sleeps with the enemy of masculinity. Jason put wax in his ears last night. Full “Fearless” monologue.
