Grant's Rant: 2-10-21 What do you think about Luke Walton of the Sacramento Kings? Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

Let's take a minute to talk about Luke Walton. When the team is losing, he's the worst coach in the NBA and he gets bashed to pieces. When the team is winning, silence. C'mon folks, you can't have it both ways. The Sacramento Kings do not and have not had a coaching problem. Not now, not even in the recent past. They have other issues that distract them from the mission and purpose of the team. But right now it appears that those things may have subsided and we're getting a chance to see what the Coach can do. 7 of the last 8 games against tough teams and they've come out with the "W". Let's talk about it a for a minute today...

Grant's Rant: 2-9-21 Why all the talk about Superbowl team coordinators becoming head coaches? Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

Right now, the social media space is heating up with all the talk about Todd Bowles being a head coach. Why is it that when a team gets into the Superbowl, the coordinators, offesive, defensive, are then almost expected to be ready to be head coaches somewhere? And more so, like Todd Bowles of Tampa Bay or Eric Bieniemy of Kansas City, why all this distinction about race? Really? Isn't it about that quality of coaching that person brings to the table and then demonstrates in an interview? Enough about it already. Let's give the consideration to the most talented and likely to succeed. Right now there are many black assistant coaches, coordinators and other personnel in the league and each and every one of them deserves the opportunity to grow into the next position of advancement. But let's, please, evaluate talent on the basis of skill and all the other attributes of great coaches as opposed to just expecting that since they got to the Superbowl that they deserve to be a head coach. Oh boy, I have more to say in today's podcast. This one really fires me up!

Episode 37: Who's done play-by-play in 10 different leagues, called big-time heavyweight boxing matches and crazy events? Steve Albert tells some great stories. Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

I cannot say enough good things about my guest today. Steve Albert is simply remarkable for what he's accomplished in his career and letting him tell his stories of how just about everything came to be for him was so much fun. You're going to hear him talk about the Tyson/Holyfield bite fight, his great stories from his hockey career, the oddities he's called like Robbie Knievel's jumps and the athletes and people he's come to know along the way. He may be retired but you're going to think he's about 50 years old. This was some of the most fun I've had speaking with people since I started the show. I know you're going to love it since he covers a lot of ground in a short period of time. There's something for everyone here. Enjoy, laugh along with me and smile at his memories of the events he's called.

Grant's Rant: 2-8-21 Kansas City just demonstrated the value of the offensive line. Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

The Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers played in the Superbowl yesterday and Kansas City really never had a chance. Mahomes was rushed all day and could never get into his rhythm. Losing one great offensive lineman is tough, losing two, as we saw yesterday makes it impossible to get anything going. And that's what we saw. But there was more to the game yesterday that I'll talk about in today's rant.

Episode 36: Grant's pick for the Superbowl and a little history in the broadcast booth from year's past. Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

On today’s podcast I want to shed a little light on the way Superbowls have been covered by the broadcast teams in the booth with a little opinion sprinkled in for good measure. Wow, there have been some great talents in the broadcast booth over the years. You’ll be surprised who the play-by-play teams have been and who some of the best are, in my opinion. Names like Curt Gowdy, Pat Summerall, Merlin Olsen, Dick Enberg, John Madden, Greg Gumbel, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman… and others. Amazing. It’s all about chemistry and communication. Can’t wait to see what we’re going to get this Sunday. Oh, and I’ll have my picks for the game. Maybe it’s the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, or it could be Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Or should I say the Tamp Bay Brady’s? You want to know who I think is going to win? Listen up. Let’s get ready for Sunday together!

Grant's Rant: 2-5-21 Why is Brett Favre getting hammered for talking about Deshaun Watson? Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

The Green Bay Packers Brett Favre's comments about Deshaun Watson are just an opinion. He's entitled to that. What's the big deal? Really. If you're making 30+ million a year, why are you complaining about your job? It's time for everybody to just step back a minute and take a breath. There's nothing wrong with what Brett said. Too many people are overly sensitive. Hear me out and let me explain. It's all on today's podcast.

Grant's Rant: 2-4-21 NBA All Star Game in spite of 24 games already cancelled? Why? Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

Picture this... Atlanta in March. Nice weather, sunshine and a great time for basketball. NBA All Stars coming to town with trainers and coaches and support folk. A stadium filled with the league's best athletes. And a pandemic. Then, during or on the way home they find out somebody or more than one of the players test positive. There goes the season. 24 games have already been cancelled. Why risk something that seems to be working right now? Why put the remainder of the season in jeopardy by bringing, literally, the entire league together in one place in March? Is it worth it? I'll give you my opinion in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 2-3-21 CDC guidelines for Superbowl parties are ridiculous. Can't make this stuff up. Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

So this is a rant you just have to listen to for it's utter absurdity. The Center for Disease Control has posted guidelines for those of you intending to attend a Superbowl party. How about no cheering, chanting or drinking alcohol for beginners? Are you freakin' kidding me? This is a joke. And there's a lot more I'll go off on when you listen in. You're not going to believe how stupid this whole thing is. And be sure to check me out on "Nofilter.net" at 3p PT tomorrow. Should be a lot of fun.

Episode 35: Author & sportswriter Ian Thomsen talks basketball and how several players are responsible for the game we see today. Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

Ian Thomsen joins me today for a discussion on his career as a sports writer for such great publications as The Boston Globe, The National Sports Daily, the International Herald Tribune, Sports Illustrated, and NBA.com. He is also author of The Soul of Basketball: The Epic Showdown between LeBron, Kobe, Doc, and Dirk That Saved the NBA. We're talking about many of the players that are responsible for the NBA we see today, stories of his coverage as a reporter and what he had the privilege of seeing and doing over the past three decades. I think he portrays the NBA today and into the future with a view from experience that you are going to appreciate. Join us for the conversation today and I hope you enjoy this most interesting perspective on how several players alone have shaped the sport as we know it today.

Grant's Rant: 2-2-21 What's wrong with Patrick Reed's lying balls? Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

PGA golfer Patrick Reed gets approval for a decision he makes at Torrey Pines during tournament play. Lighten up already, the officials made the same decision for Rory Mcllroy. It's fine. It looks like he may have made a mistake with his ball placement but it was ruled legal so give him a break. He won by 5 strokes. Hear my opinion of it all on today's rant.
