The Lakers Latest Meltdown + FOX Sports college football analyst Matt Leinart

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a quick thought on the Los Angeles Lakers' ugly loss to the lowly Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers led by 26 points in the first half but melted down in the second thanks in large part to the erratic play of Russell Westbrook. Westbrook had another triple-double, but he also had 10 turnovers and was a team-worst minus-12 on the floor. Safe to say the Westbrook experiment isn't off to a great start. Later, former Heisman trophy winner and FOX Sports college football analyst Matt Leinart swings by to discuss why he’s so fascinated by the gambling lines in college football these days, what's going on with Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler and his looming decision about whether or not he should transfer, why he can't imagine Pete Carroll coming back to coach at USC, whether or not James Franklin could succeed if he does in fact get the USC gig after all, why its so important for USC to dominate the recruiting cycle in Southern California – even though he doesn’t fully embrace the idea of exposing kids to the world of college recruiting at such a young age, and much more! Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special Thursday Night Football (Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals) edition of the Best Bet!
