Chargers Luck Out Again, the Broncos Look Busted + ESPN NBA reporter Dave McMenamin Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a few thoughts on the ugly Monday Night Football game between the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers lucked into victory for the second consecutive week (this time thanks to a muffed punt in overtime), and were it not for some absolutely horrendous quarterback play from Russell Wilson in the second half and overtime, fans in Los Angeles would be losing their minds this morning. Neither team looked like they deserved to get the win last night, but given how clustered things are at the top of the AFC, we're sure the Chargers will take it. Later, ESPN NBA reporter Dave McMenamin swings by to discuss what the realistic expectations should be this season for the Los Angeles Lakers, why Patrick Beverley is the third most important player on the team behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis, why the team has such high hopes for Kendrick Nunn, why a rumored Russell Westbrook trade to the Indiana Pacers ultimately fell through and whether or not we can expect Russ to finish the season on the roster, what it’s like covering LeBron on a day-to-day basis, and much more!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Tom Brady Isn't Focused, Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson are on the Struggle Bus & The Bills are the Best Team in the NFL Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall analysis of all the Sunday NFL action in Week 6. With apologies to Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, the biggest story has to be Tom Brady. TB12 skipped a Saturday walk through to go to Robert Kraft's wedding over the weekend... and promptly lost to a Pittsburgh Steelers team that just got blasted by 35 points the week before. Whether it's the Kraft wedding, the separation from Gisele Bundchen or the two-week sabbatical during training camp, it's pretty clear that Brady isn't fully focused on football right now. However, Brady isn't the only NFL quarterback whose currently going through a rough patch right now as both Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson appear to be stuck on the Struggle Bus the last few weeks. Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense have been stuck in neutral all season long, and it's become painfully obvious that they need to make a move for a veteran wide receiver (DJ Moore, Brandin Cooks, etc.) In Baltimore, Jackson has seen his play taper off considerably the last few weeks. If he can't get back to the MVP-level he showed early on, are we sure he's going to get that fully guaranteed contract from the Ravens he's been seeking? Later, the recap the two biggest games of the day (Chiefs vs. Bills / Cowboys vs Eagles), and do a quick debate about whether the Bills or the Eagles should be viewed as the best team in the NFL right now. Their answers may surprise you. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with the Monday Night Football Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers edition of the Best Bet.

Commanders Win the Latest Thursday Night Snoozefest, a Dark Horse College Football Playoff Contender + Vegas Insider host Joe Osborne Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get the party started by sharing their thoughts on the unbelievably boring Thursday Night game between the Washington Commanders and the Chicago Bears. The fact that Ron Rivera's postgame rant is getting more play on Friday morning than the game itself speaks volumes. Later, the guys hit us rapid fire with sports takes on everything from UCLA's case as a dark horse College Football Playoff contender to whether or not Josh McDaniels could be one-and-done as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Oh, and with NBA Opening Night around the corner, J-Mac and Rob G tell us whether or not we should expect the LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers to miss the playoffs yet again. Finally, Vegas Insider ‘Chasing That Paper!’ host Joe Osborne swings by to discuss why he likes – but doesn’t quite love – the Buffalo Bills to cover the spread this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, why the public bettors might be on to something by going to heavy on the New Orleans Saints over the Cincinnati Bengals, why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Pittsburgh Steelers is one of the biggest mismatches on the board, why he’s betting the over in the Minnesota Vikings vs Miami Dolphins game, why he loves the Seattle Seahawks with the points against the Arizona Cardinals, and much more!

Bad News for Bryce Young, a Strange Decision on Draymond Green & the Thursday Night Football Best Bet Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started with a little inside information pertaining to Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. College football fans across the country are geeked for this Saturday's showdown between the Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Volunteers. Unfortunately, all signs point to Young missing the game due to injury. On a positive note, at least now all eyes will be focused on Tennessee's dark horse Heisman contender: Hendon Hooker. Later, Jason switches gears to the NBA to share his thoughts on the Golden State Warriors' decision not to suspend Draymond Green after he punched teammate Jordan Poole at practice. The video getting released certainly changed the way the public felt about the incident, so it is a little shocking that the Warriors would welcome Green back so easily. Either way, don't be shocked if this is Draymond's final season with the Warriors. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a Thursday Night Football Washington Commanders vs. Chicago Bears edition of the Best Bet.

Monday Night Football Recap: Chris Jones got Hosed, Davante Adams Shoved a Fan & the Chiefs Got the Win Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason hits us with a deep dive into the wild Monday Night Football game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs won the game, but the end result seemed almost secondary given how many 'other' storylines emerged. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were unstoppable for Kansas City... and yet the Chiefs player generating the most buzz this morning is defensive tackle Chris Jones in the wake of that phantom roughing the passing call. The NFL officiating in the wake of the Tua Tagovailoa injury has been absolutely brutal. Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams had monster games themselves... and yet all anyone wanted to talk about was Adams shoving a cameraman in frustration as he exited the field. At a minimum, Adams is looking at a hefty fine - and a potential personal injury lawsuit. With the Raiders sitting at 1-4 and head coach Josh McDaniels making a series of questionable decisions, it's entirely possible that he could be sitting on the coaching hot seat the rest of the season.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Time for the Steelers to Tank, How the Jets Can Make the Playoffs & Is Stafford Better than Goff? Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall analysis on all the biggest headlines to come out of Sunday's NFL action. First, it's time for the Pittsburgh Steelers to embrace the tank. The Buffalo Bills absolutely obliterated the Steelers on Sunday, and given how banged up that roster is right now, there's a good chance they could be 1-7 at the season's mid-way point. Pittsburgh is going to be bad whether they want to be or not, so they might as well dive into the deep end. Sticking in the AFC, have you noticed that the New York Jets have the third best record in the conference through five weeks? With teams like the Miami Dolphins banged up beyond recognition and teams like the Cincinnati Bengals being woefully disappointing, it's not hard to image a scenario where the Jets sneak into the playoffs - especially if the Los Angeles Chargers continue to eschew common sense in favor of analytics. Moving over the NFC, it's time to have a real conversation about the Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. Stafford has been a turnover machine, but he's not getting much help from anyone else on that offense outside of Cooper Kupp. That said, is it fair to say that the move from Jared Goff to Stafford was a lateral one? A case can certainly be made that both guys only seem to thrive when everything else is clicking around him and turn into dumpster fires when things get shaky. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special Kansas City Chiefs-Las Vegas Raiders edition of the Best Bet. try to manipulate the line in their favor

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Another Rough Night for Russell Wilson and the Broncos, NFL Week 5 Best Bets + Vegas Insider reporter Patrick Everson Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off by taking a verbal baseball bat to Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos in the wake of their embarrassing home loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Wilson and the offense have been unbelievably bad through the first week of the regular season. If things don’t turn around – and fast – head coach Nathaniel Hackett could get fired before the calendar hits December. Later, Vegas Insider and FOX Sports reporter Patrick Everson swings by to discuss why some sportsbooks are less forthcoming with betting trends, why in-game wagering can actually be more beneficial for bettors when they don’t really love one particular side, why the Pros and the Joes are split on the Dallas Cowboys-Los Angeles Rams game, why the sharps were in so early on the Cincinnati Bengals over the Baltimore Ravens, why he’s staying far away from Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special NFL Week 5 edition of the Best Bet. try to manipulate the line in their favor

Defending Anthony Davis, Draymond Green Decked His Teammate + CBS Colorado sports reporter Justin Adams Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick defense of Anthony Davis in the wake of the online backlash that hit the Los Angeles Lakers big man after he sat out Wednesday’s preseason game with a back issue. Has anyone noticed that AD has actually been more available than superstars like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Kyrie Irving? Why the talking heads have taken Davis to task but let the other guys slide is beyond me. Sticking in the NBA, multiple outlets reported that Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole at practice on Wednesday. Almost immediately after the news broke several reporters tried to spin the news in Green’s favor. Chances are this whole thing blows over, but if it doesn’t, you just know the Golden State Warriors would choose Poole. Later, CBS Colorado sports reporter Justin Adams swings by to preview the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, how the Denver offense has turned Russell Wilson into the rookie year version of himself, where Wilson ranks in the hierarchy of AFC West quarterbacks, why it’s become clear that head coach Nathaniel Hackett is in over his head, the possibility that Eric Bieniemy could become the next head coach of the Colorado Buffalos, and much more! Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
