Grant's Rant: 6-10-22 Mr and Mrs Green!

bonus

On Wednesday the fans in Boston were chanting F-U Green during Game 3 of the NBA Finals. After the game Donte's wife Hazel Renee took to Instagram to rip the Boston fans. She had a lot to say including this " in NO WAY shape or form should fans be able to chant obscenities at players! Are they not human? My kids were at the game tonight hearing that mess. Very DISGUSTING of you little Celtics fans. Just shameful!" I am just curious, is your husband the dame Donte Green who gave the double bird to the fans in Memphis a few weeks ago. Is he also the same guy who answered a question on Wednesday night with his sone sitting next to him and responded " like shit". Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up!

Grant's Rant: 6-8-22 NBA Finals Ratings

bonus

What a country! Even the NBA Finals Ratings have become political. If you are on the right the numbers are down because the NBA has gone woke. If you are on the left, it's because of the pandemic and fewer people now watch tv etc. The reality is the numbers are down from 5 , 10, 15 years ago. There are many reasons including the ones aforementioned. I think the games just aren't as compelling due to the three point shot. Look at this year's playoffs. There have been so many bad games. I think the three point shot is the main reason. With that said google NBA Finals ratings. It is as confusing as can be based on the narrative of the publication. Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 6-7-22 Guilty !

A 24th massage therapist has filed suit against Browns QB Deshaun Watson. Innocent until proven guilty yes, but is there anyone that really thinks Watson is being framed by these 24 women? Common sense tells me that Watson is indeed guilty of these allegations. Now the question is how long will Watson be suspended pending the completion of the NFL's investigation?

S2 Ep 172Episode 172: Cloudy Rainbow in Tampa

On today's episode I examine the backlash from the Tampa Bay Rays "Pride Night" this past Saturday. Five players decided not to wear the rainbow patch on their sleeve and rainbow hats. They cited it was a faith-based decision. On this episode I look into what this was really about and some of the criticism that the Rays and players have endured the past few days.

Grant's Rant: 6-6-22 "Pride Night" Backfires On Rays

bonus

The Tampa Bay Rays had "Pride Night" on Saturday. As part of the celebration, they put rainbow-colored patches on the uniforms. That was not ok with five of the players including pitcher Jason Adam. Adam spoke on behalf of the other four players and said it was a faith-based decision. He also made it very clear he wants people of the LBGTQA+ to "feel safe and welcome here". As you can imagine Adam and the other four players are being attacked by the "woke" mob and has put the Rays in a tough spot. My question is why put the logo on the uniform in the first place?

The Celtics beat the Warriors last night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The C's beat the Warriors at their own game shotting over 51% from 3.

We talked about the NBA and their mixed messaging especially as it relates to the LBGTQA+ community. Bobby then talks about Mark Jones, who announced Game 1 of the NBA Finals last night.

bonus

Former Cowboys running back Marion Barber III has died at the age of 38. ABC News put on Twitter " the former Dallas Cowboys ,running back who scored plenty of touchdowns without recording a 1,000 yard season, has died". Really? Last week the Washington Post put out a tweet commemorating the two year anniversary of Geroge Floyd's death. The only problem is they said Floyd was shot and killed in police custody. No wonder why so many people don't trust the news media anymore. What the hell has happened to journalism in this country? Just embarrassing! Learn more about your ad choices.

There those who think he needs an NBA Finals MVP to cement his legacy as one of the game's greats. What a bunch of nonsense.

S2 Ep 170Episode 170: How Do You Define Racism?

On today's episode I explore the definition of racism and who determines what is racist and what's not. I explore athletes using the "race card" to defend themselves from criticism. Last week Josh Donaldson of the Yankees called Tim Anderson of the White Sox "Jackie". Anderson thought is was a racist comment. So did MLB who suspended Donaldson for one game. I read a column from Phil Mushnick of the NY Post who makes some great points about this. I also talk about an incident at Arco Arena in 2016 as the Kings were celebrating the Lunar New Year. The bottom line is we need to do better in this country and stop calling people we don't like racist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 5-27-22 Zip it Luka

bonus

The Golden State Warriors are moving on to the NBA Finals. The Dallas Mavericks are done for the year and that means no more Luka Doncic bitching to the refs all the time. No question Luka is a tremendous player, but enough is enough. How many easy baskets did the Warriors score in this series because Luka was late getting back because of arguing with the refs. Enough is enough already! Shut up and play would you please!!!! The guys is too good and to me this takes away from some of his greatness. On another note I am very happy for Klay Thompson. Klay is a top shelf pro and has bounced back from an ACL and Achiles injury. I for one love rooting for players like him! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's the deal with fans at NHL games banging on the glass all the time? It looks like they are trying to hit the other team's players in the head. I don't get it. Don't your hands hurt after a while? It goes on in every arena all the time. I have never understood what fans are trying to accomplish by doing that. Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 5-24-22 Brutal NBA Postseason

bonus

Last night in Boston, another awful game between the Celtics and Heat. The game was basically over five minutes into the first quarter. This continues an alarming trend of what we've seen in this year's NBA Playoffs. Is it an aberration, or is because of the way the game is played now? Do teams rely on the three ball too much? Whatever the reason there have been many unwatchable games in this year's playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S2 Ep 168Episode168: A Month of Racial Divide

It has not been a good month is the sports world when it comes to racism. Last weel Bronny James, Lebron's son, got lambasted by many for taking a white girl to the prom. The comments on social media were disgusting both towards he and his date. Then two weeks ago Draymond Green accused sports talk show icon Cristopher Russo of being racist. Draymond know considers himself as " The New Media". Let's all pray that doesn't become reality. This past weekend Josh Donaldson called White Sox Shortstop Tim Anderson Jackie. Donaldson claims it was a joke from a SI article in which Anderson referred to himself as 'today's Jackie Robinson". Yesterday Donaldson was suspended for one game by MLB. Also, over the weekend Nazem Kadri of the Colorado Avalanche ran into St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington. Binnington injured his knee and is out for the rest of the series. Kadri who has a history of dirty plays is a Muslim of Lebanese descent. No penalty was called on the play and after reviewing the play the NHL said no discipline would be forthcoming. Over the past few days Kadri has received numerous threats and racial attacks. The St Louis Police Department has had to put officers in from of the team hotel. Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 5-23-22: Sleepless in St. Louis

bonus

It is really unfortunate what is going on in St. Louis currently with the Blues and Avalanche series. On Saturday night the Avs Nazem Kadri collided with Blues goalie Jordan Binnington. Binnington hurt his knee and is out for the rest of the series. No penalty was called, and the league reviewed the play and determined no suspension, or fine was warranted. Kadri has a reputation as a dirty player and has been suspended in the past for dirty hits. Kadri is a founding member of the Hockey Diversity Alliance. an organization of current and former players seeking to eradicate racism from the game. Since the incident Kadri has received many threats and racist attacks. Kadri is a Muslim of Lebanese decent. It has been so bad the St Louis Police department has stationed officers in front of the team hotel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

bonus

Inside The NBA On TNT took their show outside before Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals and it was not a good look. You had fans chanting vulgarities among other things. At one point before the show began Charles Barkley turned to the hecklers and said, "if you don't leave me alone, I'm going to come to your home and f***your mama." That's a bad look for Charles and TNT. I have never understood why sports networks do shows in uncontrolled environments. Makes no sense to me. Learn more about your ad choices.

What the heck is going on in the NBA Playoffs? Can we please get a competitive game? Last round the Suns-Mavs series was awful as was the Heat-Sixers series. Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals was over after the 3rd quarter and last night's game in the west was over after quarter one!

The PGA Championship begins tomorrow in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Defending champ Phil Mickelson won't be there to defends his title and has been incognito the past several months after his comments about Saudi Arabia regarding human rights among other things Phil's comments were in response to joining a new golf league sponsored by Sauda Arabia. PGA Tour players are divided regarding Phil not being on tour currently, but most want him to come out of hiding and address the issues. When will the day happen and will Phil's legacy be restored? Only time will tell! Regardless, what a difference a year makes. Mickelson has lost all of his sponsors, isn't on tour and who knows what's next! Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt Barnes on ESPN yesterday called Patrick Beverly's comments about Chris Paul " disrespectful and out of the line". Beverly made comments about Paul on ESPN's First Take yesterday. Barnes of all people has the nerve to call someone "disrespectful and out of the line"?

Chris Paul once again melted on the biggest stage! The 12-time all-star looked like a rookie yesterday! And how about Deandre Ayton? The Suns center blew off the media after the game! Gutless!

S2 Ep 165Episode 165: NFL Analyst $$$$ and NBA, ESPN Hypocrisy

On today's episode i give you a little quiz. after seeing Tom Bardy signing a reported $375 million dollar deal with Fox. Do you watch the NFL because of the announcers? I sure don't. I ask you to name the analysts from each network after I tell you the play-by-play announcer's name. How did you do? I then move onto the hypocrisy with the NBA and ESPN. The NBA will be playing a preseason game next season in the United Arab Emirates. In the UAE homosexuality is a criminal act and has a maximum penalty of death. In 2016 the NBA pulled their all-star game out of Charlotte over a transgender bathroom bill. Now they are going to play a game where homosexuality is a crime? Really? Why is ESPN and other media outlets remaining silent over this? This is the definition of hypocrisy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
