Grant's Rant: 8-18-21 Pathetic MLB Base Running Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

What has happened to base running in Major League Baseball? Houston Astros Manager Dusty Baker was right...the base running is as bad as it's ever been. Almost every time I turn on a game I see mistakes on the base paths. Guys have been playing baseball since they were kids and yet still make mistakes running the bases on a fairly regular basis. My question is why? How hard can it be and what happened to running hard? I really don't get it!

Grant's Rant: 8-16-21 Absurdity In Chicago With Fields Overreaction Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

Talk about overreaction. Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears made his preseason debut against the Miami Dolphins Saturday. The rookie QB of Ohio St went 14-20 for 142yds and a TD. He also rushed the ball 5 times for 33 yards and a score. Some in the Chicago media and fans are hyping his performance as the greatest thing since deep dish pizza. Can we relax for a second? Can we at least watch Fields play in a regular season game before anointing him as a future Hall of Famer?

Episode 90: "There's Value In Everybody" Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Ernie Johnson Jr of TNT recently addressed the Alabama football team. His message was simple. There's value in everybody. You will be able to listen to the entire speech, one of the best five minute messages I've ever heard. Ernie ended the speech by saying "be a better human". I also talk about Lift Every Voice and Sing, often referred to as the Black national anthem. I read excerpts both pro and con, from media members around the country. The Black national anthem will be played before every NFL regular season game this season.

Grant's Rant: 8-13-21 The Boredom of Preseason Football Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

After the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the preseason at the Hall of Fame game all the NFL teams are in action this weekend. Are you really watching these games? Is there anything more boring than preseason football? Didn't we learn anything from last year that no preseason is a good preseason? You should be rooting for one thing...no injuries. That's what makes a good preseason!

Grant's Rant: 8-12-21 How Does Skip Bayless Have A Job? Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Skip Bayless of FS1 went after Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy yesterday over his weight. His colleague Jenny Taft criticized Bayless to his face over the stupid comment. My rant is very simple. Do you like Skip Bayless? Do you know anyone who likes the guy? How does he make a reported $7 million dollars a year? Is there anyone in sports media that makes more ridiculous comments that Bayless? Anything for ratings I guess.

Grant's Rant: 8-11-21 Luka And The Mavs Going Overboard Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

What a scene in Slovenia yesterday as the Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic signed a 5 year extension worth $207 million. Luka said he had no doubt in his mind he'd sign the deal. Yeah no kidding! Mavs owner Mark Cuban couldn't control himself in gushing over Wonder Boy....but that's the way it is now. Ya just can't sign a player, you now have to kiss their ass! Here's what I do know...I haven't seen Luka win a playoff series yet. Rick Carlisle is gone, there is a new front office and there are no more excuses. Yes Luka is a great talent, but it's time he starts winning on the NBA stage!

Episode 89: A Rocky Mountain Embarrassment, Peyton Manning + Awful TV Ratings Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

What an embarrassment for the Colorado Rockies. The organization handled an alleged racial slur at their game on Sunday as poorly as possible. A fan was yelling for mascot "Dinger" and they and others thought the fan was yelling a racial slur. Their statement after the game was embarrassing! I talk about that plus a statement by Tony Clark of the MLBPA which was just as bad. I also share a story about hanging with Peyton Manning one night in Indianapolis. Last, but not least the awful TV ratings from the Tokyo Olympics are announced. What's the reason for that and so many other sporting events losing viewers?

Grant's Rant: NBA Summer League Thoughts Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

The NBA Summer League is underway In Las Vegas. I've always thought it's pretty much a big waste of time with the exception for one, or two players on each roster. The NBA has turned Las Vegas into a big event so it's not going anywhere, but most of the games are so boring. With that being said if a player is going to be a good NBA player they better excel in Vegas. If not your favorite team probably made a mistake on draft night.
