Episode 132: Yankees Broadcaster Suzyn Waldman
This may be my favorite episode yet. Suzyn's story telling is magnificent. We start off talking about calling her first game at Fenway Park, a place whereas a little girl she watched Ted Willaims and Johnny Pesky play. 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. This is just a fabulous conversation with an iconic New York sportscaster! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 1-6-21 Kings Worst Loss Of Season?
Another pathetic performance by the Sacramento Kings last night. They lost to the Atlanta Hawks who were without eight players including Trae Young , Bogdan Bogdanovic and John Collins. Do the Kings players care? They were listless at the start of the game, lacking heart and energy. Things just continue to go downhill for this team. Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 1-5-22 "Biggest Jerk In The League"
bonusHub Arkush, the Executive Editor for Pro Football Weekley among other things went on 670 The Score in Chicago and called Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers the " biggest jerk in the league" and " a bad guy". How about that? Arkush is one of the fifty people who vote on NFL Postseason awards, and he isn't voting for Rodgers. Fine, don't vote for him, but to say those things? Disgraceful!

bonusGreen Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is getting killed again for his comments regarding Covid. He was on the Pat McAfee Show on SiriusXM and said " when did we lose the ability to respect somebody's opinion"....he is spot on. He has made it clear that his comments on Covid are how he feels...his opinion, but obviously many people can't handle that! What a sad commentary! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 12-28-21 Now What Niner Fans?
bonusYesterday is was revealed by ESPN that 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a torn ligament as well as a fracture in his thumb on his throwing hand. On Friday past I did a rant on how I thought Jimmy G was one of the most underappreciated players in the NFL. He was getting killed by fans and members of the media after Thursday's loss at Tennessee. Now what do you say 49er fans? You wanted Trey Lance and it looks like you will get Trey Lance. I think the 49ers will miss Garoppolo a lot assuming he is out of action. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 12-27-21 Gutless!
bonusThe Sacramento Kings were so bad last night that Coach Alvin Gentry called it absolutely ridiculous and the most disappointed he's been in 34 years of coaching. It doesn't get much worse that that....but actually it does. Gentry also questioned the team's pride. That is pretty much rock bottom. And what the heck has happened to DeAaron Fox? His post game presser last night was embarrassing! Is he now just a paycheck guy? Did he get his max deal and check out? It sure looks that way to me! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 12-24-21 Jimmy G With No Respect
EThe 49ers lost to the Titans yesterday and it was not a good game for Jimmy Garoppolo. Of course the fans and media killed the guy after the game. When the 49ers win Jimmy G doesn't get the praise he deserves and when they lose he stinks. If I'm him I'd want to get out of San Francisco and go where I'm appreciated. To me the 49ers are going to be in the playoffs. They just lost to a very good Titans team. Relax for crying out loud! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grant's Rant: 12-23-21 Another Awful Performance For Kings
bonusLast night the Kings scored only 89 points in front of another small crowd in Sacramento as they lost to the Clippers. Yes the Kings were shorthanded due to Covid, but so were the Clippers. How much longer before the Kings make a move? This can't continue can it? Is this rock bottom? Let's hope so! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S2 Ep 127Episode 127: Sacramento Kings Fan Memory Lane
On this episode I talk about something I would never see. I thought I would never see apathetic Kings fans, an empty arena, booing on a regular basis, but that is what's happened to the Sacramento Kings. Owner Vivek Ranadive has pushed one of the most loyal fan bases out the door including several minority owners. Things in my opinion are at rock bottom. I talk about the early days of the Kings, the old Arco 1. I reminisce about those days and what it was like being a Kings fans and attending games. I reflect on the first playoff game at Arco ll and how truly amazing those days were. Then the 2000's arrived and the Kings became the darlings of the NBA and Sacramento was the place to be with the most electric atmosphere in the league. Now look at it. Fans have said no more, they aren't going to games and things continue to look very bleak for the franchise becoming competitive. I talk about what i think needs to happen for Kings to move back towards respectability. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grant's Rant: 12-21-21 Antonio Brown's Nine Lives
bonusIf he screws up again, he's gone. Those were the words from Tampa Bay Bucs coach Bruce Arians last year when the team signed Antonio Brown. Yesterday Arians said Brown is good to go despite having a fake vaccination card. Why? The Bucs are desperate after losing receiver Chris Godwin for the year with an ACL. When Arians was asked about the change of heart he said I'm doing what's best for the football team. Welcome to pro sports! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

bonusYesterday the NY Giants hosted the Dallas Cowboys and of course they lost. Hey no problem, because the Giants gave a free medium Pepsi to the fans for Fan Appreciation Day! Can you believe that?

S2 Ep 126Episode 126: Broadcasting Perspective
On this episode I read a very interesting article I saw on Awful Announcing. com. ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy was talking about his relationship with Marv Albert which he referred to as contentious. JVG talked about how when he coached the Knicks he that Marv was too critical and had a bias towards Patrick Ewing. JVG also gave some advice to broadcasters which I discuss as well. Then in the finals few minutes I talk about the social messaging on the back of some NFL helmets. My rant is another version of ( Are You Ready For Christmas) Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 12-16-21 Urban Meyer Fiasco
bonusJacksonville Jaguars Coach Urban Meyer is gone less than a year after he was hired. The disgraced coach was fired by team owner Shad Khan yesterday after another run in with a player. This is just a long list of mishaps for the veteran coach. The sad thing is we we will probably see him coaching again in college one day. Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 12-15-21 Raiders Stupidity
bonusSunday the Raiders were embarrassed by the Kansas City Chiefs. Before the game the Raiders embarrassed themselves when Yannick Ngakoue led his teammates to the Chiefs logo and stomped on it. The Chiefs and their fans were incensed by the move and scored a defensive TD from on the first play from scrimmage. The game was basically over after that. Talk about a stupid move by Ngakoue and the Raiders.... that was one! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's rant: 12-14-21 Now What Kings Fans?
bonusThe Kings had another miserable performance last night as they come home 0-3. Things continue to look worse and worse. I feel bad for Coach Alvin Gentry. He once again called his team's performance embarrassing. No Alvin, what's embarrassing is you were put in an impossible situation by the franchise. So now what Kings fans? I am out of answers....what do you do now? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
S2 Ep 125Episode 125: Here Comes SuperDraft!

Grant's Rant : 12-13-21 Another Kings Meltdown
bonusWhat is the deal with the Sacramento Kings? Year after year they have more embarrassing performances than maybe any team in sport. Saturday in Cleveland the Kings gave up 81 first half points as they lost again. This team seems to lack heart and any desire to play defense! Sad! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant:12-10-21 Sports Networks And Their Over Spending
bonusI've never understood why CBS feels like they needed to pay Tony Romo one million dollars per game. Just ridiculous and meanwhile networks lay off many people every year because they make ridiculous decisions. We've seen it at ESPN and pretty much every other network. Pay talent ridiculous salaries and fire the people behind the scenes who do a great job and work their asses off! Awful! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 12-9-21 Let's Redo 2021 NFL Draft
bonusThere are many chapters left in the 2021 NFL Draft Class, but if the draft were held all over again would Mac Jones go #1? I do know this....the 49ers wish they had drafted Jones. Trey Lance may be good some day, but he will need to be very good to be Jones. Make that very, very good! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's rant: 12-8-21 A Sacramento Kings Forecast
trailerThe Kings have a very good chance for a winning streak this week. After back to back wins over the Clippers the Kings host the lowly Orlando Mahgic tonight and then begin a three game trip in Charlotte Friday vs a Hornets team currently depleted by Covid protocols. Kings guard DeAaron Fox may be out the door soon too if you believe what you read. Fox has been playing better lately, but his shot is still very inconsistent.

bonusOk Raider fan...is Derek Carr the man to take you to the playoffs? To me Carr is to Jekyl and Hyde. at times we can look great, but unfortunately, he has too many moments of inconsistency. He and the Raiders may be running out of time as they travel to Kansas City Sunday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
