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 lik...

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...

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 heads...

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...

On today's episode, Jason breaks down the difference between betting in the NBA compared to the NFL. He believes the Bills & Chiefs are the Tesla stock of the NFL through Week 2 of the 2022 season. He takes listeners through values of teams & his reasoning behind his theory. Jason was shocked to see that Tua Tagovailoa is now 20/1 MVP odds better than Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers odds (bo...

In today's episode, Jason reacts to a pair of noncompetitive Monday night games in Week 2 in the NFL. Jason breaks down how the Buffalo Bills did everything they can to make sure Josh Allen became the elite franchise QB that they hoped he would be when they drafted him. Jason looks at how the Dolphins are attempting to follow in the footsteps of the Bills with their handling of Tua Tagovailoa. In...

On today's episode of "Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre," Jason dives into all of the exciting action from a wild Sunday of NFL action. Despite the win, Jason is not impressed with Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson in Denver so far, but Miami's comeback against the Ravens has him thinking the Dolphins could be scary. Pittsburgh and New England was a boring matchup, but Jason reveals an interesti...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the Kansas City Chiefs' primetime victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Patrick Mahomes didn't look like the best quarterback in the league for most of the night, but he did do just enough to get the win; Mahomes was clearly missing Tyreek Hill. The big picture point, however, is that the Los Angeles Chargers looked like the better...

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the latest surrounding the Robert Sarver scandal. With LeBron James and Chris Paul publicly condemning the NBA’s response to his repeated workplace violations, the League may have no choice but to increase their punishment. Later, Kansas City Chiefs radio network sideline reporter Josh Klingler swings by to preview Thursday Night’s s...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick note on Aaron Judge hitting his 56th and 57th home run of the season. Judge is rapidly closing in on Rogers Maris' famed 61-homer mark, and is now the heavy favorite to win the American League MVP award over Shohei Ohtani. Later, J-Mac goes in on Brett Favre in the wake of the bombshell report that the former Green Bay Packers quarterback and...

On today's episode, Jason opens things up by taking a verbal blowtorch to Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett in the wake of the Denver Broncos' stunning loss to the Seattle Seahawks. What should have been Russell Wilson's triumphant return to Seattle was marred by arguably the worst NFL head coaching debut in recent memory. Hackett's clock management on the final drive was atrocious, and...

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall reaction to all the biggest headlines to come out of Week 1 in the NFL. MVP candidates Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow absolutely stunk up the joint, but the biggest story to come out of Sunday's action has to be the unfortunate hand injury to Dak Prescott. The Dallas Cowboys looked like they were headed to medi...

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get the party started with a few thoughts on the Buffalo Bills' beatdown of the Los Angeles Rams on Opening Night. Josh Allen and the Bills looked as advertised, so the bigger story was how poorly the Rams played. Matthew Stafford threw a bunch of picks, Jalen Ramsey kept getting cooked and the offensive line couldn't block anyone....

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get the party started by sharing a few thoughts on the Buffalo Bills' bludgeoning of the Los Angeles Rams on opening night. Josh Allen and the Bills were as advertised, but the big story here was how bad the Rams looked. Matthew Stafford couldn't stop turning the ball over, Jalen Ramsey kept getting cooked and the offensive line co...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the San Francisco 49ers' decision not to name Trey Lance a team captain for the upcoming season. The Niners have hung Lance out to dry all offseason - most notably with the decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo on the roster - so this decision shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Even still, the fact that San Francisco continues to mism...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick nugget on the peculiar line movement involving this Sunday's showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Arizona Cardinals. When you get that much movement that quickly, it's clear that somebody knows something that the rest of the betting public just doesn't. Just something to file away as we move towards Sunday. Later, 4 for 4 Football...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Clemson's victory over Georgia Tech on Monday night. Embattled Tigers quarterback DJ Uiagalelei got off to a slow start (much to the delight of the Twitter Trolls) but got back on track later in the game as Clemson cruised. DJU might never develop into the top-5 pick J-Mac predicted he would be, but it's definitely way too soon to b...

Since a lot of us will be conducting our fantasy football drafts this weekend, Jason did us all a favor by welcoming NBC Sports fantasy football analyst Matthew Berry in for a special Saturday conversation. During the interview, Berry discusses why he decided to make the move from ESPN to NBC, why he's so high on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and conversely so low on guys like New Yo...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the blockbuster trade that saw the Utah Jazz send All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's really exciting to see middle class NBA teams like the Cavs (and the Atlanta Hawks before them) swings for the fences; Having this much high-end talent spread throughout the NBA makes the League so much deeper than in ye...

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing a quick thought on the report that expansion could be coming to the College Football Playoff. It's been clear for a few years now that four teams just isn't enough so this expansion to eight or twelve teams will be a sight for sore eyes; Football fans everywhere should rejoice at the mere thought of it. Later, former NFL wide receiver and...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few quick thoughts on the reports that 'sworn enemies' Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley have been in contact recently and that head coach Darvin Ham envisions the two playing on the court together this season. Wait, what?! If Westbrook is still on the roster on opening night, there is absolutely no way the Los Angeles Lakers can be viewed as...

On today's episode, Jason blesses us with a deep dive into the San Francisco 49ers' peculiar decision to bring back Jimmy Garoppolo to serve as the backup quarterback to Trey Lance. All offseason we've been told that this is Lance's team and that Jimmy G would get dealt elsewhere, so it's natural to assume maybe the San Francisco brass isn't as sold on their second-year quarterback as they led us...

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) kick things off by doing a deep dive into Tom Brady's mysterious training camp absence. Brady spoke about it for the first time over the weekend... and said a whole lot of nothing. Regardless what the exact reason was, it's clear this version of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is nothing like the one he won a Super Bowl with two years ago...

On today’s episode, Clevanalytics founder and professional sports gambler Clev TA swings by for a lengthy discussion with Jason in which he discusses the delicate balance between being a guy who touts picks and a guy who sells information, his issue with the way the big sports networks cover sports gambling, why he’s down on both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams – mostly due to in...
