Kyrie Irving, Kirby Smart, Ben Simmons & The Importance of Trust

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason uses a handful of high-profile sports figures to make a bigger point about the importance of trust. Now the Ben Simmons has officially ended his holdout and reported back to the 76ers, should we trust him to actually play hard for Philly? Simmons never wanted to play for the Sixers to begin with, and now after an offseason of malcontent, we're just supposed to believe that his intentions are pure? Doubt it. Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are the top-ranked college football team in the country. But, if and when Georgia and Alabama meet in the SEC Championship game, can we really trust him to knock off his mentor Nick Saban? We'll see. Finally, now that Kyrie Irving has doubled-down on his plan to be a 'voice for the voiceless' and not get the COVID-19 vaccine, can we trust that he's reading the right information? Kyrie has been a contrarian without a cause for some time now, contradicting himself on more than one occasion, but we're supposed to trust him now? No thanks. Later, Jason closes the show with a very special Thursday Night Football Buccaneers-Eagles edition of the Best Bet.
