Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by recapping a wild Wednesday night in the Association.

On today's episode, Jason gets things started by throwing heavy praise at Chicago Bulls big man Andre Drummond with the mental health issues he's been dealing with stemming from abusive comments he's been receiving on social media.

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on Joel Embiid's decision to speak out yet again on his NBA MVP candidacy. It's odd that the Sixers big man has been so vocal about the award given that he's never even led a team out of the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Embiid should focus on winning playoff games, not MVPs. Later, our fearless leader takes Lamar Jackson...

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by sharing their thoughts on the NCAA Tournament.

No disrespect to San Diego State, Miami, UCONN and Florida Atlantic but not having a single blue bl...

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the report that Lamar Jackson’s representatives are speaking with other teams - and he isn’t looking for a fully guaranteed deal. The fact that Jackson still can’t get a team to bite could be attributed to him not having an agent to represent him. How else do you explain a guy like Daniel Jones getting locked up long-term...

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by recapping the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Top seeds Alabama and Houston still look like the cream of the crop, but if Drew Timme keeps dominating the way he has been then maybe it’s time to throw Gonzaga in the mix as well. Timme is one of the best college players we’ve seen in a decade. However, gi...

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by recapping day 1 of the NCAA Tournament.

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by explaining why he hates the idea of Aaron Rodgers joining his beloved New York Jets.

Both sides are dug in at the negotiating table so this could take all offseason to get finalized. Later, Action Networ...
