The Truth About Aaron Judge's 62*, Wenbanyama and Scoot Steal the Show + FOX Soccer analyst Stu Holden Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Aaron Judge hitting his 62nd home run of the season. It's a great accomplishment, but the fact remains that Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa all hit more dingers in a single season. So why then are television executives going out of their way to ignore it? Is it because Major League Baseball was complicit in the Steroid Era? Plus, J-Mac does a quick dive into the big showdown between the presumptive #1 and #2 picks in the 2023 NBA Draft - Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson. Big Vic is obviously the crown jewel, but Scoot is no consolation prize. In fact, Jason argues that Henderson is the second-coming of Derrick Rose. Later, FOX Soccer analyst Stu Holden swings by to discuss the US Men’s National Team’s underwhelming outings recently ahead of the upcoming World Cup, how he sees the final roster coming together and which potential lineup issues they could face, what we can expect from this young team in their first World Cup, the keys to getting out of group play, the steady growth of Major League Soccer here in the United States, and much more!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Rams Aren't Real Contenders, Matthew Stafford the Turnover Machine & NBA Preseason Overreactions Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to discuss the San Francisco 49ers' bludgeoning of the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. As impressive as the Niners looked, however, the real story here has to be the Rams. Their offensive line has been terrible through the first 4 weeks, and if they can't get it together it's hard to take them seriously as a Super Bowl contender this season. In fact, the guys argue that the defending champions shouldn't even be viewed as Tier 2 Super Bowl contender at this point. The only point of contention for J-Mac and Rob G is how much of the blame lies at the feet of Matthew Stafford. Was last season's playoff run just a mirage? Is he really nothing more than a more polished version of Jameis Winston? Finally, the fellas close the show with a quick NBA preseason whiparound in which Rob G details what went right for the Los Angeles Lakers and what wrong for the Brooklyn Nets.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Ravens Blow Another Big Lead, the Bucs Deserve a Pass & Baker Mayfield's Last Season in the NFL? Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get the party started with a deep dive into the Baltimore Ravens' crushing loss at home to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens have now blown 17+ point leads in both of their losses so far this season, and John Harbaugh is taking a ton of heat this morning for his decision to forego a field goal in the final minutes in favor of a 4th down try from the two yard line (which resulted in a Lamar Jackson interception). Baltimore wasn't the only heavyweight taking arrows today, however, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got absolutely blasted by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night. Even still, J-Mac says Tom Brady and the boys deserve a pass for their performance for several reasons - most notably because there was a freaking hurricane ravaging through the state of Florida all last week! It's hard to focus on football when the entire region is flooded. Just sayin'... Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers beat the New England Patriots, but they haven't been impressive in any of their 3 victories so far this season. On the flip side, Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos lost to the Las Vegas Raiders in what was arguably their best offensive performance of the year. Is it fair to say that neither team is all that good? Speaking of disappointments, have you seen what Baker Mayfield has been doing with the Carolina Panthers thus far? Yikes! In fact, things have gotten so bad for the former #1 overall pick that J-Mac and Rob G actually had to discuss whether or not Mayfield would be back in the NFL in 2023. Finally, Jason closes the show with a Los Angeles Rams-San Francisco 49ers Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Aaron Judge's 61st Blast Got Botched, a Tipping Point for the Patriots & Monday Night Football Best Bets Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick homage to Aaron Judge after the New York Yankees' slugger hit his 61st home run of the season. It was a historic moment in MLB history... and YES Network play-by-play man Michael Kay absolutely botched the call. Moments like that deserve an iconic call (and a little ambient crowd noise), but Kay couldn't deliver. Not to be outdone, a group of fans in the stands had a chance to catch the historic home run ball and not a single one was able to come down with it. Oy! Moving over to the NFL, it's all bad right now for the Los Angeles Chargers and the New England Patriots. Now that Joey Bosa is on the shelf, the Chargers will play the foreseeable future with their best pass rusher and their starting left tackle, their starting center; Not to mention, their best wide receiver, their top cover man and their quarterback Justin Herbert are also banged up. This season could get away from the Chargers pretty quickly. In New England, it's become pretty clear that we've reached a tipping point as it relates to Bill Belichick and his future with the club. Mac Jones looks to be average-at-best and the overall roster is pretty terrible. So why then is Belichick choosing to stick around? Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special Monday Night Football Cincinnati Bengals-Miami Dolphins edition of the Best Bet.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Tough Times for Tua, NFL Week 4 Best Bets + Professional sports bettor Rufus Peabody Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Tua Tagovailoa's scary injury on Thursday Night Football. The Cincinnati Bengals won the game, but the result of the contest became secondary once we saw Tua taken off the field on a stretcher with a concussion. Things have not gone according to plan since Tua exploded on the scene at Alabama (hip and ankle injuries, former head coach Brian Flores mostly hating him, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross trying - and failing - to replace him on multiple occasions), so it's hard not to feel bad for him, especially after last night. Later, professional sports bettor and co-founder of Unabated Sports and Massey-Peabody Analytics swings by to discuss why it’s so important to shop around for the best number when betting on everything from futures to props, why is ranking system is so much higher on Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars than the general public seems to be, why it’s clear that Russell Wilson’s move to the Denver Broncos has been overvalued by the market, why you shouldn’t buy into the narrative that the Buffalo Bills can’t win close games, why he likes the Green Bay Packers to win big over the New England Patriots – but not that big, how his system differentiates from other sites like Pro Football Focus, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special NFL weekend edition of the Best Bet.

FOX Sports Radio NFL insider Adam Caplan on the Flying Eagles, a Floundering Justin Fields, the Banged Up Bills & More! Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, FOX Sports Radio NFL insider Adam Caplan swings by for a lengthy conversation in which he and Jason discuss why so many view the Philadelphia Eagles as the favorites to win the NFC, what to look for in the 'Doug Pederson Revenge Game' between the Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars, how the injury bug that's hit the Buffalo Bills will impact their Week 4 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens and long-term in their AFC East against the Miami Dolphins, the Chicago Bears' complete lack of on-field faith in quarterback Justin Fields, why all of the Los Angeles Chargers' injuries could actually save Brandon Staley's job, whether or not the Las Vegas Raiders roster is truly good enough to compete for a playoff spot, and much more!

Cowboys Have Something with Cooper Rush, Russell Westbrook the Sixth Man & More Kyrie Irving Foolishness Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) kick things off with a deep dive into the Dallas Cowboys' Monday Night Football victory over the New York Giants. Most of us left the Cowboys for dead once Dak Prescott went down in Week 1, but backup Cooper Rush has been an absolute revelation in his absence. Dallas has won two in a row with Rush under center and suddenly look like they could be a top-5 team in the NFC once Dak and Michael Gallup return to the lineup. Later, the guys share their thoughts on the latest scuttlebutt to come out of Los Angeles Lakers media day as Darvin Ham admitted publicly that Russell Westbrook won't have a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup. It's been pretty clear for months that the team would prefer to move on from Westbrook altogether and perhaps relegating him to the bench could be the first step towards accomplishing that goal. Finally, J-Mac and Rob G close the show with a deep dive into the latest nonsense to come out of Kyrie Irving's mouth. The Brooklyn Nets point guard actually said with a straight face that he sacrificed over $100 million by refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine before last season. The problem with that statement, however, is general manager Sean Marks said a few minutes later that no such ultimatum ever existed and multiple NBA salary cap experts have said that Kyrie actually stood to make over $50 million more by signing an extension after the season. The foolishness never ends!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - The Fraudulent AFC West, Eagles Run the NFC & the Monday Night Football Best Bet Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall analysis of all the biggest storylines to come out of Week 3 in the NFL. In the AFC, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs inexplicably lost on the road against the Indianapolis Colts, while Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills ran out of gas in their road loss to the Miami Dolphins. Neither fan base should be all that concerned about their respective teams, but the facts remain that the Chiefs special teams are still a disaster and the Bills can’t seem to win close games. Both teams will need to get those bugaboos under control. Speaking of the AFC, remember when we all thought the AFC West was supposed to be a Murderer’s Row? Not so fast, my friend. The Las Vegas Raiders are the only winless team in football (and head coach Josh McDaniels is already getting called into the principal’s office), Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers are the walking wounded, and Russell Wilson’s Denver Broncos might be one of the worst 2-1 teams we’ve ever seen. Moving over the NFC, J-Mac is already declaring the Philadelphia Eagles as the best team in the conference; have you seen what Jalen Hurts and that offense are doing to defenses these days? Just dominant. However, Rob G argues that Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the last team standing in the NFC when it’s all said and done – and that’s with the Bucs only scoring 3 offensive touchdowns so far this season! Time will tell which man gets proven right. Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre – Recap of Steelers/Browns on Thursday Night Football + Bet Online's Dave Mason + Best Bets for NFL Week 3 AND 1 NCAA Football Best Bet! Sep 23, 2022

Show notes

Jason begins with his recap of the boring and ugly Thursday Night Football game between the Steelers and the Browns. Weather was supposed to be a factor in the game, but with the crowd not having any energy, and game script feeling dull, the matchup just felt flat. Jason thinks the Steelers need to get Kenny Pickett in, but of course, Mike Tomlin in his press conference said he wasn’t in the headspace to make a switch so the answer is “definitively, no.” Bet Online’s Dave Mason joins Jason to discuss his experience with giving betting advice and how he handles consumers with their wins and losses, and shares his tips & tricks on how to read and understand sharp lines and what plays to make. Dave also gives his reads for NFL Week 3, including trying to get everyone on the Jets and Broncos bandwagon — just for week of course. Plus, Jason shells out very own best bets for a busy, busy Week 3 in the NFL, one Best Bet for College Football on Saturday, and much more!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre – Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad + NFL Week 3 Best Bet for Thursday Night Football's Steelers & Browns Game Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason begins with a quick mention of Thursday Night Football between the Steelers and Browns in a rivalry matchup. Minor news out from Chicago Bulls camp is that PG Lonzo Ball is having another procedure done on his left knee. This being the 3rd instance he’s having his knee cleaned up with many seeing Ball as a bust as a 2nd overall pick. Chicago has already paid Ball, but his continued absence leaves Zach LaVine and the Bulls stuck in a bad position. Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad swings by and discusses the 2-0 Dolphins and previews their upcoming game against the seemingly immaculate Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins are now a fun team to cover and watch with Tua Tagovailoa and HC Mike McDaniel off to a fast start. Schad explains that McDaniel is a huge part of why Tua and the organization is doing well, and has really pumped up the surging QB. Schad suggests that McDaniel is able to connect so well with the team, the complete opposite of the Dolphins’ regime that preceded him. Jason and Joe preview the Dolphins’ matchup against the Bills and how Miami’s offense matches up against Buffalo’s stout defense. Schad thinks Tua and company have a decent shot, especially with some of the injuries on Buffalo’s end. Plus, Jason is here to give his best bet of NFL Week 3 in the Steelers-Browns game, and much more!
