The Wild, Wild NBA Western Conference + College Basketball on FOX broadcaster John Fanta Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by recapping a wild Wednesday night in the Association. The NBA Western Conference is so jumbled that every single night feels like a must-win for teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves. Later, College Basketball on FOX broadcaster and reporter John Fanta swings by to discuss his incredible rise up the ranks in the world of sports broadcasting, what makes the UCONN Huskies such a heavy favorite to cut down the nets this year, Miami (FL)’s chances of upsetting UCONN in the Final Four, why he expects San Diego State vs Florida Atlantic will come down to the wire, how NIL and the transfer portal have reshaped college basketball as we know it, which big name players could potentially enter the transfer portal this offseason and much more!

Kudos to Andre Drummond, Bradley Beal's Bad Beat & Hendon Hooker's NFL Outlook Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets things started by throwing heavy praise at Chicago Bulls big man Andre Drummond with the mental health issues he's been dealing with stemming from abusive comments he's been receiving on social media. It takes a big man to go public with something so personal. Brave, Andre. Later, J-Mac does a deep dive into the latest scuttlebutt surrounding Bradley Beal and the battery charges he's facing for slapping an unruly fan after some guy cursed at him over a failed sports wager. This whole thing is ridiculous. Granted, Beal should know better than to put hands on a fan, but the guy who instigated the whole thing sounds like such a jabroni. Switching gears to the NFL, Jason takes the League to task a bit for approving a plan to allow teams to play multiple Thursday Night games throughout the season. Not only does it fly in the place of player safety but it also almost ensures that sports dads like J-Mac will never get another 'freebie' Thursday Night off during football season. Finally, our fearless leader closes the show by discussing the NFL potential of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker. Hooker will be one of the oldest rookies in his class, but that could work both for and against him at the next level. Where Hooker ultimately ends up will be critical for his career long-term.

Embiid Should Stop Talking About the MVP & Lamar Jackson's Leaked Trade Request Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on Joel Embiid's decision to speak out yet again on his NBA MVP candidacy. It's odd that the Sixers big man has been so vocal about the award given that he's never even led a team out of the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Embiid should focus on winning playoff games, not MVPs. Later, our fearless leader takes Lamar Jackson to task a bit for trying to launch his new clothing brand on a janky new website. This just feels like a big time waste of time and energy. Speaking of Lamar, the Ravens quarterback publicly requested a trade out of Baltimore on Monday. The only problem is it's really hard to find a trade partner right now given what his asking price would be both in terms of draft assets to Baltimore and contract extension to Jackson. What makes the whole ordeal even more confusing is the teams that make the most sense (Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets) have publicly stated that they're not all that interested in making a move on Lamar. Finally, J-Mac reiterates once again why he's having a very hard time getting too hyped up about this weekend's NCAA Tournament Final Four.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - A F---ing Ugly Final Four & Kyrie is Detonating Dallas from the Inside Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by sharing their thoughts on the NCAA Tournament. We saw a lot of bad basketball – and bad officiating – over the weekend, and now we’re stuck with arguably the most unsexy Final Four in college basketball history. No disrespect to San Diego State, Miami, UCONN and Florida Atlantic but not having a single blue blood in the mix is just bad for the sport moving forward. Shifting gears to the NBA, even with LeBron James making his return to the floor, the biggest story has to be what’s going on with the Dallas Mavericks. The Kyrie Irving-Luka Doncic pairing has been an abject failure. Unsurprisingly, J-Mac lays the blame squarely at Kyrie’s feet. Rob, on the other hand, believes Luka deserves just as much – if not more – blame as Irving. Either way, how this season ends will go a long way in determining whether or not this duo stays together for years to come.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Drew Timme Dominates, Another Brutal Loss for the UCLA Bruins & Markquis Nowell is The Man Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall reaction to wild night one of the Sweet Sixteen. Drew Timme was unstoppable as Gonzaga came back from a 13-point halftime deficit - and almost gagged it back at the end - to hand UCLA yet another crushing NCAA Tournament loss. The Bruins will have nightmares about that Julian Strawther 3-point for a long, long time. The only question for UCLA now becomes whether or not super seniors Tyger Campbell and Jaime Jaquez are going to come back for their fifth years. In the East Region, Kansas State's diminutive point guard Markquis Nowell put on a legendary performance (20 points, 19 assists and 5 steals) leading the Wildcats to a thrilling overtime win over Michigan State; the kid was absolutely electric. Interestingly enough, none of Thursday's biggest stars (Timme, Jaquez or Nowell) project to be anything more than fringe NBA players, but maybe that's partly why this year's Tournament has been so fascinating? Finally, the guys close the show by making their official picks for the Sweet Sixteen Friday slate.

The Jets are Ready to Fly, How Paul George's Injury Impacts the West + NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on the New York Jets overhauled wide receiver room in preparation for their potential trade for Aaron Rodgers. Switching gears to the NBA, the knee injury to Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is absolutely devastating. If you thought the Western Conference playoff race was crazy before, just wait and see how this PG injury shakes things up. Later, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah swings by to discuss the long-rumored trade that would send Rodgers to the Jets, why he’s high on Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker as an NFL prospect, why Florida’s Anthony Richardson could be the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the NFL Draft, why he hanks Bryce Young over CJ Stroud and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show his Best Bets for this week’s Sweet Sixteen games in the NCAA Tournament.

Lamar Jackson Needs an Agent + Former NBA All-Star Larry Johnson Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the report that Lamar Jackson’s representatives are speaking with other teams - and he isn’t looking for a fully guaranteed deal. The fact that Jackson still can’t get a team to bite could be attributed to him not having an agent to represent him. How else do you explain a guy like Daniel Jones getting locked up long-term before Jackson? Finally, former NBA All-Star and UNLV legend Larry Johnson swings by to discuss his legendary Runnin’ Rebels teams of the early 90s, the biggest difference between the UNLV that won the championship and the one that got upset in the Final Four, what he doesn’t like about the style of play in today’s NBA, why he believes New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is the current player who most reminds him of himself and much more!

Rough Night for Lakers Fans, the Ugly Truth About Cam Newton + FS1 College Basketball analyst Casey Jacobsen Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by recapping a wild Monday in the NBA. Long story short, it was a really rough night for fans of the Los Angeles Lakers. Plus, J-Mac shares a quick thought on Cam Newton’s attempted NFL comeback. Between injuries and age, it’s clear that Newton should no longer be viewed as a viable starting quarterback in the NFL. Later, FS1 college basketball analyst Casey Jacobsen swings by to discuss the newfound parity in the sport, why he believes Creighton has what it takes to upend Alabama down the road and come out of the South Region, the Big East’s representation in the Sweet Sixteen, how Gonzaga matches up with UCLA in what many consider to be this week’s marquee matchup, how Purdue’s shocking first round loss to 16-seed Farleigh Dickinson could impact Matt Painter’s future with the program, his own NCAA Tournament experiences and much more!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre – Drew Timme’s NBA Future, Brandon Miller vs Scoot Henderson & Bronny’s Big Decision Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by recapping the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Top seeds Alabama and Houston still look like the cream of the crop, but if Drew Timme keeps dominating the way he has been then maybe it’s time to throw Gonzaga in the mix as well. Timme is one of the best college players we’ve seen in a decade. However, given his overall lack of prototypical size and athleticism, it’s hard to see exactly how his game translates to the NBA. Alabama superstar Brandon Miller, on the other hand, has a game that seems built for the NBA but he’s struggled mightily in the tournament. Are his issues strictly health-related or is that infamous murder investigation finally starting to get to him? Finally, J-Mac and Rob close the show by sharing their thoughts on Bronny James’ looming decision whether to go to college next year or go pro in a place like the G-League or Overtime Elite.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre – Day 1 of March Madness, the New-Look Las Vegas Raiders & the Soft Markets for Austin Ekeler and Lamar Jackson Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by recapping day 1 of the NCAA Tournament. Outside of perpetual disappointments Virginia and Arizona going down in the afternoon, it really was a rather uneventful day. However, the Round of 32 games on Saturday are looking extra spicy as two #1 seeds (Houston and Kansas) could be on upset alert. Later, the guys dive deep into the week that was for the Las Vegas Raiders. Rob G – a noted Raiders fan – isn’t feeling the acquisition of Jimmy Garoppolo or the trade of Darren Waller, while J-Mac is cautiously optimistic that Josh McDaniels can turn things around in year two if they can hit on their draft picks. Finally, the guys close the show by discussing relatively soft trade markets for Austin Ekeler and Lamar Jackson. Both guys are All-Pro caliber players… so why hasn’t anyone made an offer?
