Jason Whitlock senses something off about Joe Burrow ever since his rumored linkup with Olivia Ponton came to light

In the Fearless with Jason Whitlock podcast, renowned sports columnist Jason Whitlock revealed never-thought-before details about Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow.Burrow is “autistic” and has “some quirk in personality.” “Something is off” about Burrow. Burrow’s girlfriend Olivia Ponton is a “weirdo” and “pansexual.”Olivia Ponton revealed in 2021 that she was bisexual. In 2022, she revealed that she identified as pansexual.She came out to her mother on a call in 2021, and she sent her father a t-shirt before Pride Month that read, “My daughter is gay.” Her father proudly wore that for over a year.She recalled this journey on Alexandra Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast in 2022: “He sends me pictures of it randomly, especially for Pride Month. I just absolutely love it.”In 2022, when Olivia Ponton identified as pansexual, she shared with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit that being able to live her truth to the fullest had been amazing for her mental health.“I would say I’m more confident, happier, more just, overall feeling like myself,” Ponton said. “I feel like before I wouldn’t really let myself accept those feelings that I was feeling, so I think now I’m just honestly, very happy and okay with myself.”Jason Whitlock carried this little confession into May 2026, just days before Pride Month.In the Fearless podcast, talking to Coach Jason Brown, Jason Whitlock said, “Have you heard about all this weirdness with Joe Burrow and his girlfriend and her being pansexual?There’s something off about Joe Burrow. And I know you’re a pretty big Joe Burrow supporter, thinking he’s maybe the most talented quarterback in the league. But I’m not sure if he’s ever going to reach his full potential.Because there’s some kind of quirk in his personality, and I think this [rumored] girlfriend [Olivia Ponton], he’s got that’s a weirdo, is a window into there’s something off about Joe Burrow.When they’re out in public together, either Joe walks out in front of her, and she walks behind, or she walks out in front, and he walks behind. But there’s also rumors of some occult-like things associated with her, and that’s why Joe Burrow dresses so weirdly.Someone sent me a long email about it, and it’s a perfect little window into, like, there’s something off with Joe Burrow.He’s autistic, he’s on the spectrum, there’s something different about Joe Burrow, and it may end up a little bit undermining his career.”Did you get where Jason Whitlock was trying to go? How is Olivia Ponton’s pansexuality reportedly going to hamper Joe Burrow’s quarterback skills for the upcoming season?How is her pansexuality reportedly related to his fashion sense, “something is off” vibe, or inability to reach full potential as a quarterback? Still trying to figure that out…
