Grant's Rant: 4-20-21 What do I think about the NY Yankees? Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

This fires me up. How can they be so bad? How does Brian Cashman still have a job? Virtually unlimited resources and they still haven't won a championship since 2009. What's that tell you? If Steinbrenner were alive he would have fired Cashman 5 times by now. I can't even watch them on TV any more. What do you think???

Grant's Rant: 4-19-21 Hey coach, I'm sore. Gonna sit this game out. Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

So the Utah Jazz decide to rest Mike Conley and Derrick Favors over the weekend because of knee soreness. That's right. Sore. Not injured, not hurt. Sore. And guess what? They lose to the Lakers. What is happening to our professional athletes and them sitting it out due to soreness? You think hockey players get sore and still play? How about football players? This is making me crazy. Here why in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 4-16-21 The NBA's embarrassment is, once again, the Sacramento Kings. Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

Another year down the tubes. Same ol' song and dance. I'm hearing from fans that the team has given up on Walton and his coaching staff. Sounds oh, so familiar. If you're a Kings fan, you know the drill. Current season sucks, look ahead to next year and hope for a good ping pong ball drop in the draft and then rebuild. But it's really getting old hearing it now for so many years. Every year past was the year it was going to change. Dysfunctional. Embarrassing. But the Kings are not without talent, there are no excuses. Let's call it the "Kings Curse". Fans deserve better in Sacramento and at some point soon, they had better get what they deserve. Agree, disagree? Reach out to me on YouTube or Twitter and let's talk about it. I'd love to hear what you've got to say.

Grant's Rant: 4-15-21 Does Rick Carlisle owe the Atlanta Hawk's an apology? Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

What do you think? So Lloyd Pierce goes away, Carlisle rips the Hawks front office calling them "insane" and the Hawks go on to a 16-5 run under Nate McMillan. Hmmm. And they do it with the help of that guy the Sacramento Kings decided to let go, never really got the most out of, Bogdan Bogdanovic. Makes you scratch your head there too. Hear what "Bogey" is doing for Atlanta in today's podcast and yeah, I think Carlisle owes somebody an apology.

Grant's Rant: 4-14-21 Luka Doncic doesn't quite seem to understand the playoff play-in format. Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

Poor baby. He doesn't understand why the NBA would make a playoff format that could mean two and through. He maybe doesn't notice there are no fans in the stadiums. He may be just so focused on his game that he can't comprehend that the league has likely lost it's butt this year and this is a way to get some revenue toward the gap. Enter Mark Cuban to the rescue. Now he doesn't like the play-in format either. Thinks it was a big mistake. Could it be because his team is in 7th place right now??? Let's talk a little about the process in today's rant.

Episode 55: The "Double Standards" in professional sports are becoming a regular occurrence. Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

So it's not enough for calls to go one way some of the time and that same play get a different call another time. Or that same infraction or that same use of a word, or a slur or a racist comment. On the Master's this weekend, just the sheer fact that it's being played in Georgia after Major League Baseball pulled its' All Star game from Atlanta is a double standard as golf turns its' head the other way. Or is it MLB that turned its' head from the fans and businesses in Atlanta? How about all the comments referencing Tiger Woods during and after the Masters and his situation with the accident? Think it would have been any different if that were you or me? You know it would have been. How about Kevin Durant's comments on social media and his responses? Or Kyrie Irving just choosing to not show up with no consequences? I'm also going to touch on the advantages of anonymity that I've been fortunate enough to experience and why I think there's value in that sometimes. Hear all this, plus your questions to me in the crowd questions Q&A. You'll leave with some things to think about today.

Grant's Rant: 4-12-21 Major League Baseball's bash the replay... all over again. Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Here we go again with a major league sport bashing their own system because they don't like it. All the complaining and moaning about the MLB baseball replay being used, not being used, liking it, hating it. Nothing is perfect. Not the players, not the umpires and not the replay system. So if you're going to call it out and rip it because you don't like it, you better be prepared for the alternative. You cannot have it both ways. I, for one, say we go back to no replays and let players be players and umpires be umpires. What do you think?
