Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today’s episode, Jason recaps a wild first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. During the show, he discusses why he hated the Los Angeles Rams' decision to draft quarterback Ty Simpson in the middle of round one, whether the Arizona Cardinals should have any regrets about taking the best player in the draft - Notre Dame running back Ty Simpson - while the rest of their roster is in shambles, why it's clear that the Kansas City Chiefs don't realize that they're no longer in 'win now' mode, and why the New York Jets should be viewed as one of the big winners of the first round. Plus, J-Mac explains why this ongoing scandal involving New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and longtime NFL reporter Dianna Russini should serve as a cautionary tale.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses Victor Wembanyama’s scintillating playoff debut for the San Antonio Spurs, whether the top-seeded Detroit Pistons should be on upset alert after dropping Game 1 to the Orlando Magic, why the Lakers’ Game 1 win over Houston says more about the Rockets than it does about Los Angeles, and whether we should expect the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks to go up 2-0 on Monday night.
