Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - The Uninspiring Dallas Cowboys, LeBron vs the Lakers Front Office & College Football Playoff/NFL Best Bets Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys' uninspiring win over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night. The Titans rested all of their best players since the game was virtually meaningless in the AFC playoff race... and Dallas still didn't pull away until the fourth quarter. While everyone is jumping for joy after the Cowboys earned their 12th win of the season, the harsh reality is Dallas is playing mediocre football as of late and they're basically limping into the playoffs. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to help discuss LeBron James' public plea for help from the Los Angeles Lakers front office. It's clear that the Lakers as presently constructed aren't championship contenders - and The King isn't happy about it. While Jason and Rob agree that they'd like to see Los Angeles make a swing to make the club relevant again, they disagree on exactly how much blame the Lakers front office deserves for their current predicament. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special College Football Playoff and NFL Week 17 edition of the Best Bet.

The Raiders are Done with Derek Carr + Sports Illustrated senior writer Pat Forde Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) kick things off by sharing their thoughts on the Las Vegas Raiders’ decision to move off of quarterback Derek Carr. Will Carr land on his feet with a team like the New York Jets? More importantly, will Josh McDaniels attempt to bring a veteran like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers in to replace him, or will he opt to take a young signal caller in the upcoming draft? The guys have the answers to those questions – and many more. Later, Sports Illustrated senior writer Pat Forde swings by to discuss why so many college football fans and pundits are down on Ohio State entering the College Football Playoff, the inevitable Mark Richt comparisons for Ryan Day, how Stetson Bennett stacks up against a few of the other winningest quarterbacks in college football history, Deion Sanders’ impact at Colorado and why SEC schools will certainly be paying attention, what makes Wisconsin’s hire of Luke Fickell so interesting and much more!

Luka Doncic's Historic Night, More Dysfunction in Denver & a Dark Horse NFC Champion Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get the party started by sharing their thoughts on Luka Doncic's historic stat line against the New York Knicks. Luka is an absolute monster who has been putting up absurd numbers for years and his greatness has almost become under-appreciated at this point. With that in mind, the guys debate whether or not night's like this are meant to be celebrated given that he's the level of player who will only be judged by championships... and most agree this Dallas Mavericks team isn't good enough to win a title. Later, the guys take a few minutes to discuss the Denver Broncos head coaching search. The new ownership plans to take a hands-on approach moving forward and essentially make the general manager obsolete, while simultaneously building around a washed up version of Russell Wilson. Can you really expect any new coach to succeed with that level of disfunction around the team? Finally, J-Mac and Rob G close the show by explaining why Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are a decent long-shot bet to win the NFC. The uncertainty surrounding Jalen Hurts has really opened things up for the rest of the field and none of the remaining favorites (San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings) are without serious questions. Having said that, would it really be all that shocking if the suddenly-streaking Packers make a run to the Super Bowl?

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - The Chargers are Dangerous, Nathaniel Hackett Wasn't the Broncos' Only Problem & Tom Brady's Next Landing Spot Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started with a few thoughts on the Los Angeles Chargers' easy win on Monday Night over the Indianapolis Colts. With Keenan Allen and Mike Williams back and healthy - and Justin Herbert at the controls - the Chargers are arguably the most dangerous Wild Card team entering the playoffs. Don't be surrpised to see them make a Cincinnati Bengals-type run to the Super Bowl. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to help discuss the Denver Broncos’ decision to fire head coach Nathaniel Hackett before his first season with the club was even completed. Hackett was clearly in over his head, but the fact remains that much of the Broncos’ issues stem from the fact that Russell Wilson’s play has fallen off a cliff. Can a new coach (like Sean Payton, maybe) fix whatever is ailing Wilson, or is Wilson officially washed? Speaking of quarterbacks, it’s become abundantly clear that Derek Carr isn’t the answer for the Las Vegas Raiders. The only problem then becomes, who can they get that would represent an upgrade at the position? It’s highly unlikely the Raiders can get Lamar Jackson or Aaron Rodgers, but what about Tom Brady? At least he’s familiar with Josh McDaniels’ offense. The guys close the show by sharing a quick note on the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive explosion against the Philadelphia Eagles. We all think Philly will still end up getting the #1 seed in the NFC, but the Eagles’ reputation has taken a hit the past few weeks (even more so now that Jalen Hurts is dealing with a shoulder injury).

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - A Bad Omen for NFL Quarterbacks, NFL Week 16 Best Bets + Pickswise lead betting analyst Jared Smith Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason opens the show with a quick note on the Brooklyn Nets' beatdown of the Golden State Warriors in a game where the Nets led by over 40 points on several occasions. The only question is: Are the Nets that good or are the Warriors that bad? In the NFL, Nick Foles getting the starting nod this week for the Indianapolis Colts make them the ninth different team to play at least three different starting quarterbacks this season. It's no wonder why the NFL goes above and beyond to protect the quarterback. Later, Pickswise lead betting analyst and FOX Sports Radio’s Countdown to Kickoff presented by BetMGM co-host Jared Smith swings by to discuss why the overall volatility of Zach Wilson makes tonight’s game between the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars so tough to read, why he was in early on the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia – even before news broke about Jalen Hurts’ injury, why the market suggests that Ryan Tannehill will be out this week against the Houston Texans, what we can expect from Nick Foles in his first start of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers, why we should expect weather to play a huge factor this weekend in at least five different games, which Super Bowl futures tickets he’s holding that has him so excited and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show by revealing the NFL Week 16 edition of the Best Bet.

Drake Maye and the Defense of NIL + Former Pro Bowl WR TJ Houshmandzadeh Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by taking University of Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi to task a bit for trying to go scorched earth on Drake Maye and the NIL process. Narduzzi taking shots at the bigger schools (and to a lesser extent, Maye himself) simply because Pitt doesn't have the infrastructure to keep its own stars in place is a bad look. Don't you think Narduzzi himself would leave Pitt if another school offered him millions more than he's currently making? Of course he would. Later, former Pro Bowl wide receiver and ‘Up on Game’ on FOX Sports Radio co-host TJ Houshmandzadeh swings by to discuss how much credit Joe Burrow deserves for the Cincinnati Bengals’ dramatic in-season turnaround, why he picked Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles to make the Super Bowl even before the season started, the biggest thing Zach Wilson needs to get corrected if he wants to become a viable starting quarterback in the NFL, why he’s still a big believer in Tua Tagovailoa, how he expects the top of the 2023 NFL Draft to shake out and much more!

The Plucky Packers, a Sad Slate of Games on Christmas & Bad News for Jalen Hurts Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kick things off with a few thoughts on the Green Bay Packers' win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night. The Packers defense harassed Baker Mayfield all night long while Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones led a balanced Packers offense. No one really expects Green Bay to make the postseason but they did show they're capable of playing the kind of complimentary football it takes to win in the playoffs (at least for a night). Later, J-Mac goes up and down the Christmas Day NFL and NBA slate of games. What seemed like a gift a few months ago is now shaping up to be a lump of coal. Whether it's due to injury (Steph Curry Anthony Davis, Matthew Stafford and Kyler Murray) or generally underwhelming play (Luka Doncic's Mavs, LeBron James' Lakers, Tom Brady's Buccaneers and Russell Wilson's Denver Broncos), most of these games are setting up to be total snoozefests. Let's just hope someone can turn in a Christmas Miracle. Finally, our fearless leader closes the show by sharing his thoughts on the shoulder injury to Jalen Hurts that is expected to sideline the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback for at least a couple of weeks. Can Hurts still win the NFL MVP if he misses the final 3 games of the regular season, including that much-anticipated NFC East showdown with the Dallas Cowboys? More importantly, can the Eagles stay afloat and secure the top-seed in the NFC without their starting quarterback?

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - The Greatest World Cup Final Ever, a Wild Win for the Raiders & the Truth about the NFL's 'Elite' Teams Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on what some are calling the greatest Final match in World Cup history. Lionel Messi (2 goals) and Argentina ended up being victorious but Kylian Mbappe (3 goals) put on a legendary performance himself in defeat. It was one of those games that even the staunchest soccer haters had to admit lived up to the billing. Moving over to the NFL, J-Mac opens things up by diving deep into his beloved New York Jets' excruciating loss to the suddenly streaking Detroit Lions. The Lions are arguably the most dangerous team in the NFL heading down the stretch while the Jets continue to stumble. Speaking of stumbling, did you see what happened in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Some will argue that Joe Burrow engineered yet another massive comeback but the truth is that Tom Brady and the Bucs lost this one more than Cincy won it. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to discuss the Las Vegas Raiders' wild walk-off win over the New England Patriots. The Raiders have been involved in some of the craziest plays in NFL history, but I don't think we've seen anything close to an intercepted-lateral-returned-for-touchdown to finish off a game that had been tied before the snap. Crazy stuff. On a macro level, it's become painfully obvious that there are no truly elite teams in the NFL this season. The Buffalo Bills still can't run the ball, the Kansas City Chiefs defense is as leaky as ever, the Minnesota Vikings are clearly frauds, the Dallas Cowboys always disappoint and the Philadelphia Eagles are unproven; Don't be surprised to see one - or more - of these 'top' teams get bounced out early in the postseason.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - The Niners are Great and the Seahawks are Not + The Volume's Alex Monaco Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the San Francisco 49ers' bludgeoning of the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. The Niners are who we thought they were: a legitimate Super Bowl threat coming out of the NFC. Brock Purdy has shown he's more than capable of executing Kyle Shanahan's system, and he has an incredible defense to lean to boot. The Seahawks? Nowhere near as good as their record would suggest. Geno Smith is still limited and the rest of the roster is very limited. This one went just about how we thought it would. Later, MSG Network and The Volume host Alex Monaco swings by to discuss his career in comedy, the notion that this is a get-right game for the Cleveland Browns against the banged-up Baltimore Ravens, why he’s all-in on the New York Jets against the Detroit Lions, the potential that both the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are overlooking their Week 14 opponents and ahead to their own big showdown in Week 15, why he’s back on the Las Vegas Raiders this week even after their epic meltdown last week, why he trusts the Tennessee Titans more than the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday, why he loves the Cincinnati Bengals against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with an extended edition of the Best Bet featuring both NFL and World Cup action.
