A Weekend Without Tua Tagovailoa and Lamar Jackson + iHeartMedia podcast host Sean Brace Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the unfortunate injuries that will likely keep quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tua Tagovailoa out of their respective playoff games. All signs point to the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins getting blown out without their signal callers, which could make for the second consecutive season where the NFL Wild Card round winds up being an absolute dud. Later, iHeartMedia podcast host Sean Brace swings by to discuss why he expects the NFC playoffs to be a two-horse race between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, the general optimism surrounding the Eagles' injured players, why it's not out of the realm of possibility that Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers make a deep playoff run, why he's betting big on the double-digit favorite 49ers and Buffalo Bills, why he's expecting a close game between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants and much more!

Georgia Destroys TCU, the Truth About the Cardinals Job & Why the Rams Should Blow it Up Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets things started by sharing his thoughts on the Georgia Bulldogs' demolition of the TCU Horned Frogs in the College Football Playoff Championship Game. This one got so ugly in the first few minutes it had our fearless leader channel surfing for old movies in the third quarter. The only real question to come out of this one is what's next for Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett. Bennett lacks the prototypical skills and measurables of an NFL quarterback, but as Jason notes a lot of a player's success ultimately depends on the situation he gets drafted into. If Bennett can get scooped up by a forward-thinking offensive mind, he can absolutely have a long career in the NFL. Later, J-Mac does a deep dive into the Arizona Cardinals following their surprising dismissal of head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Outside of Kyler Murray (who has a prickly personality and is coming off a devastating knee injury himself), the cupboard is pretty much bare in Arizona. In fact, Jason argues that it's easily one of the worst head coaching vacancies available right now. Finally, Jason goes off the deep end by explaining how the Los Angeles Rams should use Sean McVay's impending 'semi-retirement' to tear their roster down to the studs are start trading away stars like Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp and Jalen Ramsey. Trust us, the idea sounds crazy on it's face until you hear him lay it out.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Aaron Rodgers and the Packers Choked, NFL Black Monday Predictions & College Football Playoff Championship preview with USA Today's Dan Wolken Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by sharing their thoughts on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers' choke job on Sunday night against the Detroit Lions. Making matters worse, Rodgers once again helped push the tired narrative that this could be his final game as a member of the Packers. Will he retire? Is he going to demand a trade? The smart money says neither. It would be absolutely crippling from a salary cap perspective for Rodgers to play anywhere but Green Bay in 2023. Sticking in the NFL, Black Monday is officially upon us and the Houston Texans' Lovie Smith was the first victim of the day. Given that several head coaching vacancies already became available during the regular season it's actually pretty hard to project who else might be giving their walking papers today but the guys did manage to identify a pair of NFC coaches who could get the call later today. Later, USA Today Sports national columnist Dan Wolken swings by to discuss why the 'Cinderella' story surrounding the TCU Horned Frogs doesn't really hold water, what makes Georgia's Stetson Bennett such a great college quarterback, how NIL and the transfer portal field has almost leveled the field in college football, if we should expect another offensive explosion in the Championship game like we saw in the semi-finals and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special College Football Playoff Championship Game edition of the Best Bet.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - AFC Championship Game on a Neutral Site, the Bengals Got Shafted + CBS Sports analyst Danny Kanell Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the decision handed down by the NFL that could result in a neutral site AFC Championship game should some combination of the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals make it that far. There’s a lot of minutiae to sift through, and ultimately the League made the best of a bad situation in the wake of Damar Hamlin’s injury, but our fearless leader has a problem with the provision that could keep the Bengals out of hosting a potential Wild Card round game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals got shafted in this one, period. Later, CBS Sports analyst Danny Kanell (appearing on behalf of BetOnline.net) swings by to discuss what the expectations should be for his alma mater Florida State moving forward, his biggest problem with the transfer portal and how he would fix it, how the skills of quarterbacks Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson might transfer to the NFL, what the TCU defense can do to try and slow down Stetson Bennett and the Georgia Bulldogs, how bettors should approach the College Football Playoff championship game and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special NFL Week 18 edition of the Best Bet.

Overhauling the NFL Playoff Schedule & a US Soccer Soap Opera Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by discussing a report suggesting that the NFL is considering overhauling the entire playoff schedule to ensure that the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game gets rescheduled. In this scenario, Bills-Bengals would be played in Week 19 alongside the NFC Wild Card round while the rest of the AFC get a bye week. The following week, the NFC would take a bye while the AFC play its Wild Card round. A scenario like this would have massive long-term implications as teams like the Philadelphia Eagles (Jalen Hurts), San Francisco 49ers (Deebo Samuel), Los Angeles Chargers (Joey Bosa) and Baltimore Ravens (Lamar Jackson) could potentially get extra time to get their stars healthy. This is definitely something to keep an eye on. Later, our fearless leaders shares his thoughts on a wild story coming out of US Soccer surrounding coach Gregg Berhalter. The parents of disgruntled star Gio Reyna tried to get Berhalter booted from the club by leaking information related to a domestic violence incident from over 30 years ago. We all understand wanting to protect your children at all costs but this is borderline psychotic behavior by the Reyna's. All signs point to Berhalter keeping his job after this whole ordeal but it's still a bad sign when the family of one of America's brightest young soccer stars is trying to stage a coup against the coach.

NFL Week 18 Playoff Scenarios, Jim Harbaugh is Coming Back to the League & LeBron is Putting the Lakers to a Decision Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets things started by previewing the upcoming Week 18 NFL slate. In the wake of the unfortunate injury to Damar Hamlin and the uncertainty surrounding the potential rescheduling of Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals, all signs point to the Kansas City Chiefs getting the top overall seed (and the first-round bye) in the AFC. In the NFC, it's looking increasingly likely that the New York Giants will sit their key players and essentially hand over the top overall seed to the Philadelphia Eagles. Guess we'll have to look elsewhere for playoff seeding drama this weekend. Later, J-Mac shares a little inside information surrounding Jim Harbaugh and his potential move back to the NFL. The Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers appear to be the most likely landing spots for Harbaugh... assuming neither one can land Sean Payton. The billionaire owners of each franchise clearly want established guys so we could see something of a bidding war develop for Harbaugh and Payton. Finally, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) joins the show to discuss LeBron James’ impressive play as of late. Both guys are hopeful that this incredible tear will inspire the Los Angeles Lakers front office to make a trade that might vault the club into legitimate championship contention, but neither is all that optimistic about it. Either way, it’s clear that the guys are probably higher on the Lakers’ on-court potential than Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss are.

INSTANT REACTION to Demar Hamlin and the Monday Night Football Postponement Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

On tonight's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you instant reaction to the unfortunate injury suffered by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. What exactly led to Hamlin's scary injury? What was going through the minds of the Bengals and Bills players in the immediate aftermath of the play? Did the NFL act appropriately by waiting over an hour before ultimately deciding to postpone the game? Is it realistic to expect that a game with such heavy playoff implications would even get rescheduled at all?

**During the course of the recording, we learned that Hamlin was being intubated at a nearby hospital. We're all hoping and praying for a full recovery.**

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - The Jets are Grounded Again, the Packers are Surging & College Football Kickers Strike Again Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by pouring one out for his beloved New York Jets now that they've officially been eliminated from postseason contention. It's become abundantly clear this season that Jets cannot be taken seriously in the AFC until they get their quarterback situation figured out, and if J-Mac had his druthers he'd be telling the powers that be to go all-in on Derek Carr in 2023. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to help discuss the Green Bay Packers' blowout win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings aren't a legitimate threat in the NFC but that doesn't make the Packers' performance any less impressive. Green Bay is surging right now and have the look of a dark horse Super Bowl contender heading into their de facto playoff game next week against the Detroit Lions. On the flip side, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to stumble without Jalen Hurts. Two weeks ago, Philly was considered a lock to earn the top overall seed in the NFC but that is very much in jeopardy heading into Week 18. Interestingly enough, the team that is most likely to steal the #1 seed - the San Francisco 49ers - looked pretty average themselves in a close win over the the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. This is really shaping up to be one of the wildest NFC Playoffs we've seen in years. Speaking of wild, did you see what happened on Saturday in the College Football Playoff semifinal games? Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines played an uncharacteristically sloppy game in their stunning loss to TCU while Ohio State came this close to upsetting the top-seeded Georgia Bulldogs only to be undone by what some are calling the worst kick in college football history. Seriously. It was that bad. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special Monday Night Football (Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals) edition of the Best Bet.
