Second-Guessing an NFL Futures Bet + Sports Illustrated senior writer Greg Bishop

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the Jacksonville Jaguars' recent string of puzzling personnel decisions. If the Jags are going come through on Jason's long-shot bet to win the AFC South, they're going to need to get their act together. Sports Illustrated senior writer Greg Bishop swings by for an in-depth conversation in which he discusses what the atmosphere was like covering the Olympics in Japan in the middle of a pandemic, why Manny Pacquiao's upcoming fight is about a whole lot more than winning a championship belt, how tough it can be navigating a world where sports and politics constantly intersect, his secret to getting high-profile athletes like Dak Prescott to open up to him, the current trend of athletes openly speaking out about their mental health, the overall impact of social media on sports and society as a whole, his upcoming book on Kansas City Chiefs lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, and much more!
