Grant's Rant: 10-28-21 Turnover Machine Named Russ
trailerThe 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?
bonusThe 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. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
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
bonusThings 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
bonusAfter 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.

Grant's rant: 10-22-21 Kings Announcers Don't Travel?
bonusThe 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.

Grant's Rant: 10-21-21 Kings Fans Still Not Happy
bonusThe Kings beat the Blazers last night for a big opening season road victory. That apparently isn't good enough. Many Kings fans were upset with Kings Head Coach Luke Walton for substitutions at the end of the game. Hey the Kings won! Relax! The team hasn't been in playoffs for a generation. Enjoy the wins!

Grant's Rant: 10-20-21 The Malcontent Ben Simmons
bonusBen Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers was kicked out of practice yesterday for conduct detrimental to the team.

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?

Grant's Rant: 10-19-21 Bagley Needs To Earn Extension
bonusGood 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. It is up to him to determine his market value something he hasn't done yet! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Gran't Rant: 10-18-21 A Giants Embarrassment
bonusThe New York Giants are 1-5. Since 2017 they have the worst record in the NFL. After being embarrassed by the Rams at home yesterday defensive lineman Leonard Williams said he was bothered by the fane booing! Really? Who the hell would go to the game and not boo? Play better and the fans won't boo. Pretty simple! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 10-15-21 An MLB Embarrassment!
bonusHow bad was the check swing call in San Francisco last night? Are you kidding me? What a joke! The two best teams in baseball play a classic elimination game and it ends like that? Can't have it! Something else you can't have...you shouldn't play a team in your own division in the divisional round! Stupid! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 10-14-21 Social Media Deteriorating Society
bonusIt 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. The problem is people are getting verbally attacked for their opinions. On today's rant I get into that! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grant's Rant: 10-13-21 Nets Tell Irving To Stay Away!
bonusHow 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!!

Grant's Rant: 10-12-21 Baseball's Absurd Rule
bonusSunday night in Game 3 of the Red Sox/Rays series Tampa got screwed by a bad rule. A Ground Rule Double may have changed the outcome of the series. My rant talks about why MLB needs to change the rule! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
S2 Ep 108Episode 108: Jon Gruden Follow Up
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. The emails also showed complete disregard for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Bottom line, Gruden has no one to blame, but himself! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
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???
bonusThe 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
bonus18 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. Do the math....it is hard to understand why a guy who made that much is trying to rip off the league for a relatively small amount! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Ep 106Episode 106: ESPN Hypocrisy and Bad Draft Picks!
ESPN is at it again. This time they took Sage Steele of the air for comments made on Jay Cutler's podcast. ESPN's public statement made no sense to me and I discuss on the show. I also talked about bad draft picks in the NBA and NFL. It mystifies me how so many teams make mistakes at the top of the drafts. And I wrap up the show talking about the MLB Playoffs.

Grant's Rant: 10-7-21 A 4:15 Pitching Duel?
bonusLast 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
bonusThe 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

Grant's Rant: 10-5-21 The Stupidity Of Urban Meyer
bonusJacksonville Head Coach Urban Meyer gets the award for stupidest move of the month and we are still in the first week. Fist he doesn't travel back with the team after losing to the Bengals Thursday night. On Friday a video surfaces of a female dancing on his lap followed by another video of Meyer putting his hand on her bottom. The 57 year old married man apologized to his family, team and owner....ya think!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
S2 Ep 105Episode 105: Odds And Ends
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!

Grant's Rant: 10-4-21 College Football's Awful Replay System
bonusCollege 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? The difference between them and the rest of the country is significant. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grant's Rant: 10-1-21 Get The Pels Out Of Nola
bonusNew Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Gayle Benson announced succession plans for the teams. She wants the teams to stay in Nola. She is also donating much of her estate to charity in the area. She is a great lady! With that being said the pelicans need to move. New Orleans isn't a basketball town. It's all about football. The city doesn't support the Pels. Move the team to Seattle, or another market that would support it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grant's Rant: 9-30-21 Josh Gordon Again?
bonusJosh 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! Gordon has let down every team he's been on. Time will tell in KC. but let's not get carried away! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grant's Rant: 9-29-21 A Chicago Bears Mess
bonusIt looks like the Chicago Bears will have a long season. Last week's loss to Cleveland was a disaster with rookie QB Justin Fields getting sacked nine times. Head Coach Matt Nagy isn't naming a starting QB yet for this weeks game vs the Lions. Why? Name a guy...yes I know there are some injuries, but just say if this guy is healthy he will be the starter. Have you looked at their schedule the next month? If the Bears lose to the Lions Sunday things will go from bad to worse! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
S2 Ep 103Episode 103: Sports Bucket List Part 1

bonusBen Simmons is officially a now show with the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite having four years left on his deal, Simmons is adamant about never playing for Philly again. To make matters worse some of his teammates were going to fly to LA to talk to him about his decision. He said don't bother. Simmons needs to grow up and start acting like a professional!

Grant's Rant: 9-27-21 Last Night's 49ers-Packers Game
bonusWhat a game last night! Other than the officiating that is...what an embarrassment for the NFL. Just awful!!!! 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? They allow the Packers to go down the field with :37 left and no time outs??? AWFUL!!!!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
S2 Ep 102Episode 102: David Halberstam Talks Cancel Culture In Sports Media
My guest is David Halberstam of Sports Broadcast Journal. We talked about cancel culture in the world of sports media personalities. David recently interviewed Thom Brennaman who was fired last summer by the Cincinnati Reds and Fox for saying a homophobic slur on TV. We talked about that and others who have been sent to pasture for one comment. David is also a sports broadcast historian. We talked about his favorite announcers of all time!

Grant's Rant: 9-24-21 Doc Rivers Now Kissing Ben Simmon's Butt?
bonusBen Simmons has made it clear. He doesn't want to play with the Philadelphia &6ers anymore. Earlier this week Sixers Head Coach Doc Rivers went on ESPN's First Take and talked about Simmons with high praise. It was a love fest. Why now just a few days before camp? Simmons has four years left on his deal. Why kiss his ass now? The entire scenario is ridiculous! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grant's Rant: 9-23-21 Minnesota Timberwovles????
bonusYou know things are going bad when a team puts out a press release announcing the firing of their President of Basketball Operations and the name of the team is misspelled. That's right, the press release had this spelling of Timberwovles . How freaking embarrassing is that? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
