On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a quick thought on the Pittsburgh Steelers' decision to bench Ben Roethlisberger in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns.

On the NBA front, Jason tells us why you shouldn't overreact to the Milwaukee Bucks beating the Miami Heat by 47 points. The l...

It's Episode 100 of the Straight Fire Podcast! On today's show, Jason explains why Cam Newton's benching on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills is the nail in the coffin for the former MVP's NFL career. Cam will be hard-pressed to find another starting gig next season after the way he played this season. On the flip side, Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has turned quarterback...

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the biggest headlines to come out of a wild weekend in the NFL. Kansas City had yet another nail-biting win on Sunday, and Jason says it's to start worrying a bit about Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. In an ideal world you want your team to be peaking heading into the postseason, but the Chiefs seem to be stuck in mud. Even worse, they appear almost...

On today's episode, Jason shares a quick thought on the latest report that James Harden was spotted without a mask at yet another strip club this week (Er, "a night club with strippers present"), and explains why the Houston Rockets are only hurting themselves by waiting to trade him. The longer they wait the crazier Harden's antics will become, and thus the worse the trade offers will get. Later,...

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on Tuesday's NBA Opening Night action. The Brooklyn Nets blew out the Golden State Warriors, but it's just one game. The big takeaway here is that Kevin Durant looked like the KD of old. If he can stay healthy, the Nets could be a legitimate title threat. In the nightcap, the Los Angeles Clippers spoiled the Los Angeles Lakers 'Ring Night' and walked w...

On today's episode, Jason shares a quick thought on the Pittsburgh Steelers ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. After starting the season 11-0, the Steelers have lost three in a row and Ben Roethlisberger looks absolutely washed. The defense has slipped a bit and the offense looks abysmal. Thanks to their hot start to the season they'll still make the playoffs but they ha...

On today's episode, a clearly despondent Jason opens things up by sharing his thoughts on the New York Jets upset victory over the Los Angeles Rams... and dropping them out of the #1 slot in the upcoming Trevor Lawrence Sweepstakes. Lawrence is arguably the best quarterback prospect to enter the NFL Draft in decades, and all the Jets had to do to get him was keep losing. They couldn't even do that...

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob share their thoughts on the Los Angeles Chargers' ugly win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football. It didn't look like either team wanted to win that game. On the plus side, we can all rest a little bit easier knowing that stud quarterback Justin Herbert won't be shackled by the wildly mediocre Anthony Lynn. Plus, CBS Sports analyst Danny K...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on Giannis Antetokounmpo's decision to forego free agency and sign a supermax contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. On the surface it sounds like a heartwarming story, but the reality is that player movement and the formation of Super Teams is what makes the NBA such a hot topic year round. By staying in Milwaukee, Giannis has...

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens' wild victory over the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. This game had EVERYTHING. Lamar Jackson had to leave the game with 'cramps', or 'diarrhea' if you believe the folks on Twitter, but was forced back into action when his backup injured his leg with less than two minutes left in the game. Naturally, Jackson threw th...

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a very simple question: Are the New Orleans Saints the team we thought they were? The Saints had been the hottest team in the League until rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts lit them up in his first career start. Chalk it up to a lack of familiarity with the opponent - or just a rare bad game from their defense - but either way the loss knocked them out o...

Plus, NBA champion Jared Dudley stops by and shares where he predicts James Harden to get traded to in the next ten days! Guests: Lakers Power Forward Jared Dudley, New York Post writer Brian...

Jason opens things up with a quick reaction to the Los Angeles Rams suffocating victory over the New England Patriots. The Patriots appear set to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008, but more importantly, the Rams look like arguably the most complete team in the NFC. In fact, you can see shades of the Kansas City Chiefs with how varied and explosive their offense is. Later, former NFL...

FS1 NBA analyst analyst and FOX Sports Radio host Chris Broussard joins the show for a lengthy conversation leading up to the start of the NBA season, and Broussard explains why he expects James Harden to at least start the season in a Houston Rockets uniform, what a Harden-Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving trio might look like in Brooklyn, why the chemistry issues that plagued the Los Angeles Clippers la...

Jason opens things up by sharing a quick thought on the Baltimore Ravens victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday Night Football. It’s hard to really take much away from the game given that the Cowboys are so bad that the Ravens hardly ever had to step out of their comfort zone to win. In fact, the most interesting thing to come out of the game actually took place off the field as Dez Bryant had...

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on when he believes to be the biggest headlines to come out of Sunday's NFL action. First, it's time to admit that Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns are for real. Did you see the way they demolished the Tennessee Titans? More importantly, did you see the way they demolished the Titans without Odell Beckham Jr ? In the crazy year that is 2002, it'...

On today's episode, Jason explains why the knee injury to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree is a much bigger deal than you might think on the surface, why he's shocked at how much Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III has regressed as a passer since his rookie season in Washington, and why he's a tad concerned about the Steelers' sputtering offense. Jason also shares his thoughts...

On today's episode, Jason opens things up in reverse by dropping a quick Best Bet for this afternoon's Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers showdown.
