Taylor Heinicke Ruins the Eagles' Perfect Season & Kliff Kingsbury's Veiled Shot at Kyler Murray Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the Washington Commanders' upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Taylor Heinicke is the kind of success story every sports fan loves to tell their kids about so it was pretty awesome to see him perform as well as he did on the big stage. His numbers don't jump off the page, but he's got all the moxie in the world and his teammates seem to love him. Don't look now...but the Commanders have an outside shot at the playoffs. On the flip side, everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. They turned the ball over three times (which they never do), they lost the second quarter (which they never do) and the opposing kicker drilled two from 55+ yards out (which never happens); the perfect season is over. Later, J-Mac explains how Kliff Kingsbury's comments praising Colt McCoy were actually a veiled shot at starting quarterback Kyler Murray. The Kingsbury-Kyler dynamic has been off for a long time, and there have been rumors that teammates like Budda Baker and JJ Watt aren't big fans of Kyler either. This is definitely something that bears. Finally, our fearless leader closes the show with a very quick NBA whip around.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Josh Allen is out of the MVP Race, the Raiders are the Most Disappointing Team in the NFL & the Truth About the Dolphins Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall reaction to Week 10 in the NFL. The Minnesota Dolphins earned a shocking win over the Bills to keep their homes of earning #1 seed in the NFC in-play, but the big story here is what's going on in Buffalo. Josh Allen has officially been eliminated from MVP consideration. His rollercoaster play so far this season (big plays and brutal turnovers) has cost the Bills several games on the year, and now it's not even a lock that Buffalo wins the AFC East. Sticking in the AFC, has any team been more disappointing than the Las Vegas Raiders? Josh McDaniels and the boys lost to the Jeff Saturday-led Indianapolis Colts to fall to 2-7 on the season. It's unfathomable that McDaniels could take over a playoff team from last year, add Davante Adams and Chandler Jones, and have the team actually get worse. On the flip side, one AFC team that has surpassed all preseason expectations is the Miami Dolphins. J-Mac and Rob G seem pretty split on Tua Tagovailoa and the fellas at this point in the season; Is Miami a legitimate Super Bowl contender or just the product of a soft schedule? Either way, the next few weeks should give us the answer. Moving over to the NFC, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is taking a ton of heat this morning for his controversial 4th down call in the Cowboys' overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers. But rather than tearing down Dallas, shouldn't we be giving Green Bay kudos for having the patience and discipline to stick to a ground game that ultimately broke the Dallas defense? Finally, our fearless leader closes the show with a very special Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Panthers Pound the Falcons, NFL Week 10 Best Bets + Professional sports bettor Brandon Lang Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the Carolina Panthers' suffocating victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football. It wasn't always pretty - and all signs point towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being the team that ultimately wins the NFC South - but it was still a nice win for Carolina. Later, professional sports bettor and Bleav Podcast Network host Brandon Lang swings by to discuss how he made a big score earlier this week betting on Bellarmine to upset Louisville in college basketball, how much of the movie ‘Two For the Money’ starring Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino (which is based on his life) is actually true, why he’s high on the Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers as underdogs against the spread this Sunday, why he likes the Houston Texans with the points against the New York Giants, why he absolutely refuses to bet on Arizona Cardinals vs the Los Angeles Rams, why he almost always stays away from the international NFL games, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with the NFL Week 10 edition of the Best Bet.

World Cup Roster Breakdown, Thursday Night Football Best Bets + FOX Sports College Football reporter Bruce Feldman Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the official 2022 World Cup roster. There were a handful of surprises as Alexi Lalas and Stu Holden suggested there might be. Will this young squad be able to gel in time to make some noise in Qatar? We’ll find out soon enough. Plus, J-Mac gives us his best bet for the Thursday Night Football game between the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons. Later, FOX Sports and The Athletic college football reporter Bruce Feldman swings by to discuss why the oddsmakers have the #4 TCU Horned Frogs as underdogs against the Texas Longhorns this Saturday, what makes the 2023 NFL Draft quarterback class so interesting, the biggest reason behind Jim Harbaugh and Michigan’s turnaround since the tumultuous 2020 season, preview what could be a de facto College Football Playoff game later this season between Michigan and Ohio State, the narrative that Alabama superstars Bryce Young and Will Anderson should sit out the rest of the season, and much more!

2022 World Cup Preview with FOX Soccer analyst Alexi Lalas Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, FOX Soccer analyst and former USMNT member Alexi Lalas swings by to help preview the upcoming 2022 World Cup. During the conversation, Lalas discusses the impact the 1994 USMNT World Cup and 1999 USWNT World Cup teams had on soccer here in the United States, who we can expect to be the primary goal scorers for the USA in the upcoming World Cup, how coach Gregg Berhalter has fundamentally changed US Soccer, why he expects the starting 11 to not feature a single player with World Cup experience when play kicks off in Qatar, what it's coming to take for the US to get out of the group stage, who he's picking to win it all, and much more!

Are the Ravens Super Bowl Contenders? Hypothetical Anthony Davis Trades & the Colts are Clearly Tanking Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started with a quick note on the Baltimore Ravens' blowout victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. The Ravens are one of the most banged up teams in the League and yet they keep finding ways to win. We still don't know for sure if the Ravens are legitimate Super Bowl contenders in the AFC... but we also don't know that they're not. Either way, the bye week could not have come for a better time for Lamar Jackson and the squad. Later, J-Mac closes the show with a deep dive into the rumor that the Los Angeles Lakers would be willing to trade Anthony Davis. The Lakers are going nowhere fast (2-8 on the season entering Monday), so it would make sense that they might look to blow things up and start anew. Would the Golden State Warriors be willing to flip James Wiseman to LA? Would the Atlanta Hawks include John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovich in an AD trade? The possibilities are endless. Finally, our fearless leader ends the show by taking a verbal blowtorch to Jim Irsay and the Indianapolis Colts for their decision to hire Jeff Saturday to be their team's interim head coach. Irsay is certifiably crazy and Saturday is woefully unqualified; it's clear the Colts are trying to tank.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Big Win for Gang Green, the Raiders Really Stink & a Bad Day for Betting Favorites Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall takes on everything that went down Week 9 of the NFL. The word of the day on Sunday was: "Parity". There were 6 games decided by 3 points or less, and neither of the day's biggest betting favorites - the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills - covered the spread. Speaking of the Bills, Josh Allen and the vaunted Buffalo offense was slowed by the stingy New York Jets defense in Gang Green's upset victory. Much like the Minnesota Vikings, we still don't know for sure whether or not the Jets are actually a good team, but they absolutely have a formula that works. In many ways, this current Jets squad is eerily similar to the Mark Sanchez-led crew that made back-to-back AFC Championship games. On the flip side, we absolutely know by now that the Las Vegas Raiders are arguably the biggest disappointments in the NFL this season. Davante Adams and the boys blew another 17-point lead in their latest debacle, and now we'd say it's fair to wonder whether head coach Josh McDaniels will still have a job after the season (and whether Adams' buddy Derek Carr will still be the starting quarterback). Moving over to the NFC, it's becoming increasingly hard to tell which preseason Super Bowl contender has been the uglier watch in 2022: the Los Angeles Rams or the Green Bay Packers. While Green Bay does have a bit of a built-in excuse given that they lost Adams in the offseason, the defending Super Bowl champions being this inept offensively is absolutely stunning. I guess there's a reason why we hardly ever see repeat champions in the NFL. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very half-hearted Baltimore Ravens vs New Orleans Saints Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

An Underwhelming Eagles Win, Kyrie's Half-Hearted Apology + Professional sports bettor Bill Krackomberger Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started with a few quick thoughts on the Philadelphia Eagles' underwhelming Thursday Night Football victory over the Houston Texans. Philly mostly sleepwalked through the game and did just enough to get the win... but not quite enough to cover the spread. Plus, our fearless leader discusses Kyrie Irving's Instagram apology in the wake of the backlash (and eventual suspension) stemming from his social media promotion of an anti-Semitic documentary. It's clear that Kyrie only apologized because the Brooklyn Nets hit him in the wallet. Moreover, if Irving is really going to miss at least the next 5 games, does anybody really think things are going to get better for Brooklyn on the court? Later, professional sports bettor and FOX Sports Radio weekend host Bill Krackomberger swings by to discuss why he’s always preferred betting NFL totals and futures rather than sides, why it’s a smart play long-term to take double-digit underdogs against the spread, the importance of getting in early on gambling lines you like rather than waiting until the day or two before a game, why it’s not unusual for big bettors such as himself to move gambling lines, why professional betting syndicates have been unable to make a ton of money through the first half of the NFL season, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with the NFL Week 9 edition of the Best Bet.

A (Sort of) World Series No-Hitter, Tennessee vs Georgia Preview + Author Jeff Pearlman Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick note on the Houston Astros' Game 4 World Series win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Four Houston pitchers combined to no-hit Philadelphia, and while it is impressive, it's nowhere near as impressive as a single pitcher throwing a no-hitter. Plus, J-Mac gives us a quick preview of the upcoming college football showdown between the #1 Tennessee Volunteers and the #3 Georgia Bulldogs. In a stunning turn of events, almost all of the early money is on the Vols plus the points. And, should Tennessee win this one outright, quarterback Hendon Hooker should be the Heisman favorite. Later, author Jeff Pearlman swings by to promote his new book, “The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson”. During the conversation, Pearlman discusses the difference between being a sports television celebrity and an ‘author’ celebrity, why just getting Bo’s blessing to write the book was more than enough – even if the two-sport star didn’t want to be involved with it himself, the levels of racism that Bo faced during his college years at Auburn, which of Bo’s legendary athletic achievements are the most unbelievable, how an unfortunate hip injury ultimately derailed Bo’s career as a professional athlete, the dark story behind the ‘Bo’ nickname, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

The Dolphins are Ready to do Damage while the Cowboys and Packers are Not & Kyrie is Killing the Nets Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started with a deep dive into a surprisingly active NFL Trade Deadline. The Chicago Bears' acquisition of wide receiver Chase Claypool was one of the better under-the-radar moves of day. The former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout definitely has his warts, but he also helps Chicago both in the short-term and the long-term as they look to build out the roster around quarterback Justin Fields. The biggest winner of the day, however, has to be the Miami Dolphins. The trade for pass rusher Bradley Chubb signals that the they're all-in on Tua Tagovailoa as their franchise guy moving forward, and that they should be viewed as a legitimate threat to the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC. If we include the Baltimore Ravens' trade for Roquan Smith, it's clear that both the Ravens and the Dolphins aren't about to concede the conference to Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. In the NFC, two of the biggest 'losers' have to be the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers as they both decided to sit back and let division rivals like the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles improve their rosters. Are we sure Dallas and Green Bay are all that serious about winning a Super Bowl? Finally, J-Mac closes the show by taking a verbal blowtorch to Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets in the wake of their decision to fire head coach Steve Nash. Brooklyn is an absolute dumpster fire right now, and so long as Kyrie is on the team, it's hard to imagine things getting any better.
