On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the Pac-12's impressive run through the NCAA Tournament thus far. The Conference of Champions has 4 teams in the Sweet 16, and they all have one thing in common: bright, young head coaches. All of this begs the question - is the Pac-12's sudden surge the beginning of the end for the Blue Bloods? Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina's Roy Williams are two of the greatest coaches in college basketball history, but UNC getting bounced in the first round and Duke missing the Tournament altogether feels like a sign of things to come; Krzyzewski and Williams have a coaching style and overall style of play may not work in today's game. The first weekend of March Madness definitely feels like a changing of the guard in college basketball. Later, Producer Rob G joins in on the action to help Jason make sense of all the latest NBA trade rumors as we approach Thursday's trade deadline. The Boston Celtics appear to be the team most in need of a shake-up, and thankfully the Orlando Magic seem willing to send them disgruntled superstar Aaron Gordon to help expedite the process. On the flip side, all signs point to Lonzo Ball leaving the New Orleans Pelicans at some point in the near future, but which team is willing to meet his reported salary demands? Point guard is arguably the deepest position in the NBA so Ball may have no choice but to accept a lesser deal this offseason. Finally, Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry could be on the move as well, and if he ends up heading 'home' to the Philadelphia 76ers, he could be the piece that swings the balance of power entirely in the Eastern Conference.Click here to subscribe, rate and review all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts!

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by paying homage to the 'Washed King' himself LeBron James. At age 36, LeBron continues to defy Father Time and is currently the odds on favorite to win his fourth NBA MVP award... and people are still looking for reasons to hate the man! What gives? Whether is sports media talking heads who claim that LeBron ruined the NBA with the Player Empowerment Era or former players like Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley who seem more worried about going viral than providing honest analysis, it seems folks are just unwilling to recognize greatness when its staring them right in the face. At the quarter pole of the season, it's clear that LeBron is the MVP. On the flip side, one NBA star who isn't having a great season is Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal. That's not to say that Beal is playing poorly (he's not), but his team stinks (again) and it's clearly starting to take a toll on him mentally. Beal should be the next All-Star to get traded, and don't be surprised to see the team that missed on the James Harden Sweepstakes swoop in and make a deal: The Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, news leaked on Tuesday that New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball is back on the trade block for the second time in 3 seasons. It sure has been a far fall from grace for the former #2 overall pick. Is it too soon to call Ball a bust? Would another change of scenery be enough to unlock the talent Daddy LaVar has raved about since he was in college? There's only one way to find out.Click here to subscribe and download all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts!

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.

Producer Rob pushes back on the idea in a big way - and even Jason admits that the contingency plan should've been put into place before the season even started - but you can never have too much good NFL football.
