Grant's Rant: 10-28-21 Turnover Machine Named Russ

trailer

The Lakers blew a 26 point lead last night and Russell Westbrook was ejected at the end of the game. He was unhappy with Darius Bazley's dunk with 1.5 seconds remaining. Maybe Russ should worry more about his turnovers. He had a quadruple double last night with ten turnovers....the game before that vs Memphis he turned the ball over nine times. Seems to me Russ and the Lakers have more to worry about than a dunk at the end of the game! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 10-27-21 New Commish For NFL?

bonus

The NFL is having their owner's meetings and commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell said the NFL's investigation into the Washington Football team won't be released. Why not? So you are telling me the only emails leaked involved the Raiders and Jon Gruden? Goodell also said they need more time for the Deshaun Watson investigation. How about we do an investigation on Goodell and his office? The league has been an embarrassment under his watch the past several years! Learn more about your ad choices.

S2 Ep 112Episode 112: NBC's Ridiculous Hiring Of Matt Barnes

On this episode I point out the ridiculous hypocrisy of NBC Sports , particularly NBC Sports California. NBC is ok hiring former NBA player Matt Barnes for the Sacramento Kings pre/post game shows despite his many arrests and violence, but they condemn all lives matter. I give many examples of NBC's hypocrisy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 10-26-21 A Disinterested Marvin Bagley

bonus

Things can not be easy for the Kings Marvin Bagley. He has fallen out of Luke Walton's rotation and wants to be traded. It isn't a good look at games though when the 4th year man out of Duke looks completely disinterested. He is very distant during timeouts etc....just not a professional look!

Grant's Rant: 10-25-21 Kings Need The Real Fox

bonus

After a big opening night win in Portland the Sacramento Kings lost both games this past weekend. On Friday the Utah Jazz were too good down the stretch and last night the Golden State Warriors put 119 on the board. In both losses DeAaron Fox was ineffective shooting the ball. Bottom line is the Kings are paying him a ton of money to be elite. He needs to be a lot better and soon if the Kings are to be competitive this season. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Kings opened the season in Portland Saturday, but their announcers weren't there. What a joke! The arenas are full, most teams are sending their announcers on the road, but not the Kings.

bonus

The Kings beat the Blazers last night for a big opening season road victory. That apparently isn't good enough.

S2 Ep 110Episode 110: NFL'S Double Standards and Hypocrisy!

On today's show I talk about Jon Gruden and the noise his resignation has created in this country. I read an article by Phil Mushnick from the New York Post detailing the hypocrisy of Roger Goodell when it comes to the league's messaging. Mushnick feels the Super Bowl halftime shows are a great illustration of the league's double standards when it comes to race and ethics. He references Snoop Dog among others as examples of the league's mixed messaging! Do you agree with Mushnick or is rap music just entertainment like going to the movies?

bonus

Good job by the Kings front office not to give Marvin Bagley and extension on his rookie deal. He hasn't earned, nor does he deserve it. Bagley will become a restricted free agent next summer.

bonus

It has been a crazy week thus far. Jon Gruden is out In Las Vegas. Kyrie Irving has been to stay away from the Nets and with these stories come a lot of viewpoints.

Grant's Rant: 10-13-21 Nets Tell Irving To Stay Away!

bonus

How about a round of applause for the Brooklyn Nets. They basically told Kyrie Irving to get lost. GM Sean Marks said they aren't interested in a part time player. Irving refuses to get the Covid vaccine and due to local mandates is ineligible to play in home games. The Nets said either you're all in, or you're not! Good for them!!

Amazing what a difference a few hours can make. Jon Gruden has resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after reports of anti-gay, misogynistic language used in emails.

S2 Ep 107Episode 107: Jon Gruden and Race!

Today's episode deals with Friday's Wall Street Journal article on Jon Gruden. I talk about what I feel is a massive overreaction. Gruden at 58 is now all of a sudden a racist? How come his body of work isn't being looked at? How come no former, or current player as of today has come out to say Gruden is a racist? Lord knows we have a lot of problems in this country relating to race, but was Gruden's comments about De Maurice Smith racist? I certainly don't think so! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 10-11-21 Gruden Now a Racist???

bonus

The Wall Street Journal came out with a story on Friday revealing an email Jon Gruden wrote ten years ago. In that email he referenced NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith with 'rubber lips"....a term Gruden uses for people who lie. That doesn't seem to matter though. Smith claimed racism in a statement he released...the NFL threw Gruden under the bus and said they are investigating the matter. Has anyone ever used Gruden and racism in the same sentence? Now all of a sudden the man is a racist! How sad!!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 10-8-21 Ex NBA Players In Big Trouble

bonus

18 former NBA players have been charged with defrauding the league's health and welfare benefit plan. One of the players. . According to the indictment the players ripped off nearly $4 million. One of the players in the indictment Tony Allen made over $40 million over his career.

bonus

Last night's Dodgers/Cardinals game was a classic! Too bad many people didn't see the finish. How does a pitchers duel with a combined 12 hits last 4;15? And MLB runs their Play Ball campaign during the game, but the problem is most kids in the eastern third of the country are asleep. Great game yes, but MLB needs to figure this out!

Grant's Rant: 10-06-21 A Yankees Mess

bonus

The New York Yankees season can be told in the 1st inning of last night's game vs Boston. Giancarlo Stanton jogs out of the box because he thought he hit a homer. The voice of the Yankees John Sterling botched the call as bad as one can. Then in the bottom of the inning Gerrit Cole who only makes 36 million a year gives up a two run homer. Cole has become an average pitcher, because he can't cheat anymore. That is a microcosm of the Yankees season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's show I talk about my weekend in Tuscaloosa and being at the Alabama-Ole Miss game. It was an amazing experience. The NFL season is 4 weeks in and as always there is a major overreaction to quarterback play especially rookies. Trey Lance did not play well in relief of Jimmy Garoppolo Sunday against the Seahawks. For some reason fans are worried. It's ridiculous! I talk about the other rookie quarterbacks as well. Then I end with playoff baseball talk. It begins tonight as the Yankees play the Red Sox!

bonus

College Football needs to do something about their replay system. It is ridiculous. It disrupts the flow and rhythm of the game. Why does every questionable thing need to be reviewed. No wonder why the games takes forever to play. One more thing, is there anyone out there who thinks anyone could be Alabama or Georgia?

bonus

Josh Gordon is back in the NFL as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes is a hell of a QB, but he obviously doesn't follow the league that closely. He was quoted as saying about Gordon "everywhere he's been, he's kind of dominated". He dominated his first season in the NFL. After that he dominated in suspensions!

The 49ers didn't lose the game because of Jimmy Garoppolo so cool it with the Trey Lance talk. Anyone still think Aaron Rodgers isn't into playing for the Packers and where is the 49ers defense?
