bonus

How bad is the bottom of the Western Conference in the NBA? The Portland Trailblazers are currently 10th at 21-31. I had a Kings fans send me a message yesterday talking about the Kings getting into the 10th spot. I'm like really? The Kings are 16 games below .500. Stop it please! I know the NBA is trying to increase fan interest, but this is awful! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

bonus

The NFL has a huge mess on its hands. Brian Flores has filed a class action lawsuit in federal court and now Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has responded with a very terse statement.

The Kings lost to the Knicks by 20 points last night to cap off an 0-5 trip. The last time thew Kings won a road game was December 1st.

S2 Ep 139Episode 139: NFL's Awful Messaging

E

On today's episode I discuss Snoop Dog performing at halftime of this year's Super Bowl. Phil Mushnick of the New York Post wrote a very interesting column over the weekend about the league's ridiculous messaging. He cited Snoop's lyrics encouraging violence on police. I discuss this and our need for better communication in our society. I use personal examples of sitting down with people who don't look like me, or sound like me and discussing these important issues. There continue to be too many people who remain silent about things that matter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 1-31-22 A Wrap On Championship Weekend

Can't complain about the last two weekends of the NFL Playoffs. Tremendous entertainment. Speaking of entertainment, Tony Romo of CBS doesn't entertain me. Talks too much and smothers the game in my opinion. Not a good 4th quarter for the 49ers and Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan's 4th quarter play calling in the biggest of games hasn't been good. Speaking of not being good??? How about the Ram's fans once again selling their tickets? Yesterday the stadium was at least 50% 49er fans. Just embarrassing! Learn more about your ad choices.

S2 Ep 138Episode 138: The State Of The Kings

The Sacramento Kings are in the midst of another embarrassing season. I start off today's episode with a video DeAaron Fox made on the Player's Tribune back in 2018. The sentiments of Fox have certainly disappeared from the day the video was released. The team is 18-32 and playing uninspired ball on most nights. I also get into the despicable tweets by Kings TV voice Mark Jones made over the weekend regarding Aaron Rodgers. These tweets are in a long line of other unprofessional, embarrassing social media posts made by the also ESPN announcer. Just can't make this stuff up! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 1-26-22 Down 60 In Boston????

bonus

The Kings played in Boston last night and lost 128-75. The lethargic Kings trailed by as many as 60 points during the rout. How many embarrassing losses is that now for the Kings this season? Too many to count! The Kings feel like they only need to play hard on certain nights. No wonder why so many fans have stopped going to games and stopped watching them on TV. Just pathetic!

Grant's Rant: 1-25-22 Shut Up Tony Romo

bonus

Tony Romo of CBS gets paid a ton of money. I for one don't understand the infatuation with the guy. He never stops. He doesn't let the game breathe and steps all over the big moments. Sunday night in Kansas City he was nauseating. On the big KC TD's he started talking the second Jim Nantz was done and you couldn't hear one word he was saying....he was just trying to talk over the crowd.

The 2022 Winter Olympics begin in Beijing next week. There has been increasing backlash towards China regarding the Uyghur genocide and other alleged crimes against humanity. The games will go on, but are too many people turning their head about this? How will NBC cover this as the rightsholder for televising the games. I talk about comments from former NBC host Bob Costas on this topic and others as well. I also discuss a column by Phil Muchnick of the NY Post titled " TV networks, NFL's hypocrisy damaging to racial equality.

Grant's Rant: 1-24-22 Best NFL Weekend Ever With Some Horrible Coaching

bonus

Wow! What a weekend in the NFL! Many people are criticizing the Bills for not doing a squib kick with :13 left in regulation. Here's the bottom line. A team should not be able to go from their own 25 to the other team's 30 in two plays....just awful!!!! But not as awful as Bucs Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowles and his decision to call an all-out blitz which allowed the Rams to set up a chip shot game winning FG.

Grant's Rant: 1-21-22 Lame NFL Fine For Dak

bonus

Dallas QB Dak Prescott was fined $25K by the NFL for his remarks about the officials following Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Prescott called the fans throwing debris at his teammates as "sad". When he was informed that the fans were throwing stuff at the officials Dak replied, " credit to them, then". My question is why did it take two days for Prescott to apologize?

Detroit ended the game on an 11-0 run with former Kings Corey Joseph hitting the game winning show. So, Kings fans is this a new rock bottom? Just embarrassing! Learn more about your ad choices.

bonus

The Kings play host to the Pistons tonight to wrap up a home stand. I can't imagine many people will be in attendance to watch two of the worst teams in the league. Kings fans still want to know what the heck is going on. Where is owner Vivek Ranadive? Is he going to take responsibility for this mess? Will we see any significant deals before the February 10th trade deadline? The Kings lost to the worst team in the conference on Sunday. I can't imagine the crowd reaction if they lost to Detroit tonight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 1-18-22 DeAndre Hopkins For MVP

When you discuss the MVP this year in the NFL who has been more valuable than DeAndre Hopkins of the Cardinals. He suffered a knee injury when the Cardinals were 10-2. Since then, they have been awful. Last night in the Wild Card game they were embarrassed by the Rams. QB Kyler Murray looked like he had never played before! Just a pathetic performance. Bottom line when Hopkins was on the field this year, they were great and awful without him! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 135: Disgraceful Behavior Towards Sports Officials

On Sunday Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott made a very disturbing remark about the officials after his team lost to the 49ers. Prescott thought the fans were throwing debris at his teammates and called it sad. He was then told the fans were throwing things at the officials. Dak responded " credit to them then". Dak's comment was not only unprofessional but has definitely stained his reputation. I talk about abuse towards officials both on the youth sports and professional level. I read excerpts from several articles talking about abuse towards sports officials. This is a big problem in our country! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 1-17-22 Dak Far From Elite

The Dallas Cowboys season is over. The 49ers went into Big D and came away with the victory. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott validated that he is a good QB, but nothing more in my opinion. His performance yesterday was subpar and so were his comments after the game. about the officiating. Once again, another lost season for the Cowboys! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 1-14-22 MLB Greed

MLB and the MLBPA met via Zoom for the first time in 42 days yesterday. The word is they are still very far apart in reaching a labor agreement and the players were less than impressed with the owner's new proposals. Talk about a league being out of touch with reality! Do they really think fans are going to be sympathetic? Spring Training is in serious jeopardy and once again it is the little guy on the food chain who will suffer the most from this work stoppage.

Episode 134: Inspire Change NFL? Come On Now!

Yesterday the Houston Texans fired head coach David Culley. This makes Mike Tomlin of the Steelers as the league's only Black head coach. I talk about the constant messaging by the league such as end racism and inspire change....the league has fallen way short when it comes to Black coaches in the league. I read a list of all the Black head coaches since 2000 and talk about the negative reaction by so many. I then talk about the labor impasse with MLB and the Player's Union. What a disgrace!

Sixers President Daryl Morey said he isn't trading Simmons unless he receives fair market value in return. In the meeting Simmons agent Rich Paul said that his client is dealing with mental health hurdles. What the hell does that mean? If Simmons has mental health issues why would any GM in the league trade for him? Makes no sense to me! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Sunday it was a gutty effort by 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo who helped get his team into the postseason. Garoppolo played with a torn ligament and chip fracture in his thumb on throwing hand and was solid. It seems like many fans underappreciate him. I don't understand why.

Episode 133: Lebron James Reckless Tweet And Kings Midterm Grades

Lebron James is at it again. This time King James is calling for the head of Washington Wizards broadcaster Glenn Consor. Last week during the Rockets game Consor made a mistake regarding Kevin Porter Jr's father. Consor said after Porter hit a game winning shot, " Kevin porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time." Porter's father pleaded gulity to first manslaughter in a 1993 shooting death of a 14 year old girl. Consor thought Porter's father was former NBA player Kevin Porter. That didn't stop James from putting out a series of tweets calling for Consor's job. It never ends with James and his reckless behavior on social media. I then give the Sacramento Kings midterm grades for their key players. My grades aren't pretty. The team overall received an F! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So, Antonio Brown releases text messages he had with Bucs Head Coach Bruce Arians showing that Arians knew of his ankle injury. Here is the bottom line, Brown's actions Sunday vs the Jets was an embarrassment. There is no defending his actions. It was one of the worst moments in recent memory for the NFL. To watch Brown take his uniform off, throw stuff into the crowd and act like a clown leaving the field is as bad as it gets! Period! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

George Steinbrenner had a huge impact on Suzyn's life, and she shares some great insight into the late Yankees owner. Suzyn then talks about the 1989 World Series and how that really had a huge impact on her career. She shares stories about Ricky Henderson and Don Mattingly as well.
