Grant's Rant: 1-12-21 What is going on with Kyrie Irving? Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Seriously now. If you or I had acted the way Kyrie Irving is acting, we would no longer have our jobs. We get paid, we go to work and we support our "team" ...our company, our fellow workers, right? So why does the NBA allow this sort of behavior to continue? Why do these players the team so desperately needs for many reasons, get to simply disappear? What's with Kyrie anyhow? C'mon, if you need help, get it and we'll all understand but this just not showing up is unacceptable. Enough already Kyrie. Time to play ball. Show up. And the same for the league. Stop it already. Get control of your players and hold them accountable. I've got more to say about it all in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 1-11-21 What on earth has happened to the Sacramento Kings? Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Just days ago I ranted about the lunacy of Marvin Bagley's father tweeting about trading his son and harping on Luke Walton, the Kings' coach. And then De'Aaron Fox's father chiming in and then De'Aaraon having to get a last word in. And the Kings were playing well. That was then and this is now. Marvin looks like he's forgotten something in the locker room and the team has been embarrassed by both the Toronto Raptors and setting a franchise record for points against an opponent for the Trailblazers. I thought I was watching men play boys at times. Sporadic hustle, little heart and certainly a lack of demonstrated determined team play. What the heck is going on in that locker room? Good thing fans aren't allowed in as the few who chose to go see them play would have certainly been booing at points in each of these last two games. It's also a good thing the arena is empty now. It might be that way when they re-open if something doesn't change and change soon.

Grant's Rant 1-8-21: Jim Harbaugh. Michigan Wolverines, should he stay or should he go? Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

Why does a losing coach get to call the shots? I don't care what his name is or what he wants to do going forward, make a decision and let everybody get on with it. Why is Jim Harbaugh dealing with the Michigan Wolverines like this. Enough already. He needs a deadline so everyone else can move on, with or without him. Let's talk about this shall we?

Show notes

Today's conversation is with a gentleman who has been recognized as Tennessee's Sportscaster of the Year seven times in a row! He's also the longtime voice of the Nashville Predators Hockey Team having been in that role since the franchise began. What an accomplishment as well. But it didn't start out all that simply. Join me as Pete and I have a discussion on his remarkable career and the incredible route he took to get to where he is today. I think you'll appreciate his story, his experience and his acquaintances. He's a talented guy with a wonderful and rich sports history.

Grant's Rant: 1-6-21 Chris Webber's mini-series on the Fab Five is too late. Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

Chris, it's too late. Your teammates from Michigan have already spoken about the Fab Five. There have been numerous stories told and videos made already. Problem is you just refused to participate when you had the chance to join in with the guys and set the stories straight. But you can't for some reason and now, 30+ year's later, you're finally going to tell your story? How about you just apologize and move on? There's no secret here. I'm sorry but this is one mini-series I'll not be able to watch.

Episode 27: Tennis announcer and analyst Doug Adler's incredible story of being fired by ESPN. Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

What happens when you say something that is technically correct, then completely misguided by someone on social media? If you're Doug Adler, you lose your job, your career, your voice and damn near your life. Doug's story is a frightening one for anyone in the media with a microphone in front of them. Describing play by Venus Williams at the Australian open in 2017 did it. Now nearly three years later, ESPN has settled with him. His story is one that should be told over and over. "Branded" incorrectly as a racist, hear how he has grown from the experience and how one horribly incorrect and even malicious tweet destroyed so much of what he worked so long to build.

Grant's Rant 1-5-21: The Philadelphia Eagles Doug Pederson sits Jalen Hurts because? Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Maybe you haven't heard but this past Sunday the Eagles could have, should have won the game. But they didn't. And that meant the New York Giants didn't get to the playoffs. The Giants didn't deserve to be there anyway but that's not the point. Pulling Jalen Hurts from the game is and boy do I have something to say about it in my rant today.

Grant's Rant: 1-4-21 How Big an Embarrassment is Marvin Bagley's Father? Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Someone has to talk some sense into Marvin Bagley's father. This is an embarrassment to the entire league and a bigger embarrassment to Sacramento. I thought this issue was done at the end of last year it was so ridiculous and now, it gets even more exaggerated. Who's the child and the father in this situation? Mr. Bagley, go away and come back when you grow up!
