On today's episode, Jason is bringing you a very brief preview of all the upcoming Thanksgiving Day NFL games, and in true Straight Fire fashion he's previewing each game from the gambling perspective. While Joe Public is likely going to bet heavy on the Houston Texans against the Detroit Lions, Jason says the smart play is Detroit. Matthew Stafford always plays better at home and the Lions should...

On today’s episode, Jason opens things up by dropping a few verbal haymakers on Tom Brady. Tom was anything but terrific in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. His arm looked shot as he continued to misfire on anything beyond 15 yards, and he turned the ball over 2 more times. Don’t let the season-long stats fool you; Tom Brady is washed. He can get by...

On today’s episode, Jason tells us why the Seattle Seahawks impressive win over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football should propel them to the best record in the NFC at the end of the season. What’s more, it was clear late in that game that Kyler Murray still has a lot to learn about playing the quarterback position. His time will come – and come quickly – but right now he’s not quite...

On today’s episode, Jason starts off by addressing his report that the New York Giants fired their offensive line coach after he got into a fist fight with head coach Joe Judge. Local media were quick to shoot the story down, which isn’t all that surprising if you know the inner workings of sports media, but our fearless leader is standing by what he said. Jason also shares his thoughts on the unf...

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a quick preview of tonight's NBA Draft and tells us why he's placing a small wager on James Wiseman to go first overall to the Minnesota Timberwolves and why he's a little miffed about Anthony Edwards' peculiar comments on the eve of the Draft.

On today's episode, Jason does a deep dive on all the wheeling and dealing that went on Monday in the NBA. The biggest news by far was the Milwaukee Bucks working deep into the night to acquire guards Jrue Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic.

On today's episode, Jason starts things by telling us how impressed he was with the Indianapolis Colts and the way they thoroughly outplayed the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. The offensive line is tough and the defense is great, but the emergence of rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has turned Indy into a legitimate threat in the AFC. Suddenly, Philip Rivers is surrounded by...

On today's episode, Jason share his thoughts on reports that Russell Westbrook has requested a trade from the Houston Rockets. Westbrook has proven over the years that he doesn't play well with others and his style of play doesn't translate to playoff success, so it's really no surprise that he flamed out in Houston. The real question then is: Which team is crazy enough to trade for him? The Knick...

On today's episode, Jason starts things off by explaining why he's fully on-board with the NFL's plan to switch to a 16-team Playoff bracket in the event that not every team can complete a full regular season schedule due to COVID.

On today's episode, Jason starts things by taking a small victory lap after his beloved New York Jets managed to stay competitive and still lose on Monday Night Football to the New England Patriots.

Trevor Lawrence is a once-in-a-generati...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a quick thought on the New Orleans Saints beatdown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Now, there are a lot of conclusions you can draw from that game, but the biggest one is this: There is no dominant team in today's NFL.

On today's episode, Jason starts things off by briefly talking about the Green Bay Packers beatdown of the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. The game was basically over in the second quarter, and things went pretty much how most of us thought it would: Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams were too much to handle, and the 49ers offense was too banged up to really changed the Packers defens...

On today’s episode, Jason starts things off by previewing tonight’s Thursday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers. To say these teams are banged up would be an understatement.

He's to...

On today’s episode, Jason starts things off my explaining how the Baltimore Ravens loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers proves that Lamar Jackson is the Giannis Antetokounmpo of the NFL - a marvelous regular season player whose fatal flaws get exposed against the best competition.
