Grant's Rant: 7-29-21 NFL Quarterbacks In The News Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

NFL camps are underway. Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers made it very clear yesterday that he's pretty much running the franchise now. In Baltimore Lamar Jackson of the Ravens tested positive for Covid-19, the second time in eight months he's tested positive for the virus. My question, why not get vaccinated? The New York Jets took the field without their top draft pick QB Zach Wilson. The second overall pick is the only player from April's draft not under contract yet. That is very hard for me to understand!

Grant's Rant: 7-28-21 NFL Distractions Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

NFL camps are underway and Aaron Rodgers decided to show up thanks to concessions made by the Green Bay Packers. Isn't it nice that in 2021 star athletes making a ton of money need concessions to go to work? In Houston the Texans begin practice today and we are still waiting word on Deshaun Watson. Will the Texan's QB be on the field? 22 women have filed a civil suit alleging sexual assault and now 10 women have filed complaints with the Houston Department, 8 of whom are part of the civil suit. Don't teams say they hate distractions? It sure seems they have distractions in Green Bay and Houston!

Episode 85: Bill Wennington talks Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks and of course, Sacramento Kings Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

7 footer, Bill Wennington and I got to know each other a bit from his time in Sacramento primarily. That's beside the fact that he has Long Island history. And yes, he hails from Canada! Once he figured out the NBA he turned it into a wonderful career. A career that includes three championships with the Chicago Bulls from their heyday. We talk a little bit about the character of that team as well as the others Bill has played on as well as the coaches he played under. There's some great perspective you won't hear many other places so I hope you enjoy the discussion we have.

Grant's Rant: 7-27-21 Make Some Moves Kings! Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

The NBA draft is Thursday this week. What's going to happen with the Sacramento Kings? Something I sure hope. Something has to happen because that organization is broken and to do nothing with something broken is going to yield the same result it has for a generation. Nothing. Hopes and promises are over. Make some moves, Kings. You're the leader on the chess board, make some moves. Your fans deserve better.

Grant's Rant: 7-26-21 An Olympic Mess Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

The Tokyo Olympics are only a few days old and things couldn't be much worse. The Opening Ceremony on NBC drew only 16.7 million U.S. viewers, a 33- year low. As of yesterday 14 athletes had tested positive for Covid and over 100 others affiliated with the games had tested positive as well. Team USA Men's Basketball team was upset by France and people are blaming the coach, Greg Popovich , who I guess doesn't know how to coach anymore. The big question is will the Olympic Games continue to spiral downward on all fronts?

Grant's Rant: 7-23-21 Oh no, not Holmes! Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

So it's out there. The ugly truth is leaking out. Richaun Holmes becomes a free agent and he's talking about how nice it would be to play on a playoff caliber team. Well, with him that wasn't the Sacramento Kings this year and without him, it's a sure bet it isn't the Kings again. What on earth is up with this team? First they give away Bogdan Bogdonovic for nothing more than money and no asset, and now, it looks like they could lose Richaun Holmes. He is an absolute shining star on the team. So Sacramento, in my opinion, you need to help Buddy Heald find the greener grass somewhere, help Marvin Bagley find somewhere he can love ( it sure isn't Sacramento) and do whatever is necessary to help Richaun Holmes see there is light at the end of the tunnel if he stays. Hey...I never said it was going to be easy.

Episode 84: Olympics, Entitled Athletes, and Winning Cultures Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

Can you even think about making this up? The Olympics are beginning to rage with Covid. I have been talking about this for months. The Olympics, in the interest of all parties, should not have been continued this year. Life is more fragile than any monetary consideration. Let's simply hope these already challenged Olympics do not become any sort of a political platform for any of our athletes. All this and more on today's program. I hope you'll reach out and leave me your thoughts as well. On YouTube (If you don't like that with Grant Napear) or Twitter @grantnapearshow.

Grant's Rant: 7-22-21 Bucks Title Lucky? Come On! Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

It's hard to believe, but many are saying the Milwaukee Bucks championship was lucky. In round 2 of the NBA Playoffs the Bucks played the Brooklyn Nets without Kyrie Irving and an injured James Harden. I don't recall anyone on the Bucks blowing off his team the way Harden did in Houston. I also don't recall anyone on the Bucks taking three leaves of absence and making a mockery about talking to the media the way Irving did. I know not everyone can be as classy as Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks handled their business the right way and hey most teams have to have some luck to win a title. Can't hold that against them!

Grant's Rant: 7-21-21 Three Stars With Class Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

If you're tired of hearing about Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans and Trevor Bauer of the Los Angeles Dodgers I've got good news for you. There are three guys who are dominating their sport and are easy to root for. Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels and Colin Morikawa of the golfing world are doing it with class! With all of the double standards and hypocrisy in sports that I've talked about on this platform, those three are a breath of fresh air.

Episode 83: Bob Rathbun, TV voice of the Atlanta Hawks tells his story. Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

Bob Rathbun has been doing the Atlanta Hawks for 25 years on television as the voice of the team. But his story began at the age of 12. Yes, 12. That's when he was at the local radio station running errands and learning the craft. You have to hear his first on mic broadcast story to really get a grasp of how this man has grown his career. And what a career it's been. He's a motivational speaker, sportscaster, former voice of the Detroit Tigers. He's done baseball, football, hockey and of course basketball and he has a unique perspective on what Nate McMillan has been able to do in Atlanta as well. He'll share his relationship with Dominique Wilkins and some personal, retrospective observations from his many years in the industry. This is a show, you'll not want to miss.
