Grant's Rant: 11-23 Hey, Hey Harry Giles. Relax Kings Fans. Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Look, we all like Harry but the the knees, oh those knees. So he leaves the Sacramento Kings and heads to the Portland Trailblazers. League minimum. What's that tell you? Relax. Disappointing, yes. More in today's rant. Much more!

Episode 14: Kenny Albert shares some history and how to get into sports broadcasting. Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

Yes, I'm talking with that Kenny Albert. Son of Marv Albert and one incredible sports broadcaster. While our stories as kids are very similar, he has clearly gone on to accomplish some things nobody else has done. He's also doing the play-by-play for all four of the major sports concurrently. He loves telling stories and I love hearing them as I think you will too. Pull up a chair and join me as I talk with Kenny Albert today.

Grant's Rant: 11-20-20 December 22 for the NBA season. Better think again. Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

The NBA has stated they're going to open the season on the 22nd of December. Do you really think so? This isn't a bubble, NFL players are getting infected, college games are getting postponed and the country is going back into lock-down. And the NBA knows something we all don't? My bet is it won't be happening in December. More, in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-19-20 Antonio Brown, NFL Wide Receiver and bike thrower. Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

Here we go again. I would rather not have to be ranting on this but is it not predictable? The Miami Herald is reporting on an incident where Antonio Brown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or I should say Tampa Bay Bradys, wide receiver had a bike throwing incident a couple of weeks before signing with the team. No police report was filed as the security guard was afraid of retaliation. (Perfectly understood!) The team acknowledges they were aware of it as well. Uh oh. Management catered to Brady's request for Brown. I'll tell you my opinion of this in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-18-20 The NBA Draft: National Stupid Day Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

Seriously, the NBA draft is today. And many reporters and sports news outlets are going to grade the picks and trades. Right? Who the heck knows what some player coming out of college is really going to do? Think of all the A+ grades that were given to players that aren't even distant memories any longer. What happens with these grades 4 years later? How did they really pan out if they were A+ picks? I'll tell you with my examples in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-17-20 Harden to Brooklyn? Love it. Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

That's right. James Harden of the Houston Rockets possibly playing for the Brooklyn Nets next season. Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyle Irving together. Imagine that. And then there's the NFL still getting in the way of letting players play. One only has to look at the sack from the New Orleans Saints / San Francisco Niners game to know what I'm saying. More on todays rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-16-20 Has the NFL lost all its' common sense? Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

That headline says it all. So the NFL's New Orleans Saints are going to get fined and punished for the players not having masks on in the locker room after the Tampa Bay game. Think about that for a minute. A huge penalty for not wearing masks in the locker room with the guys on your very own team. After three hours on the field, sweating, coughing, spitting, touching, bleeding with another group of guys that aren't even from the same state! Yeah, that makes me crazy to see something like that happen. Who are you kidding? More in my rant today.

Show notes

Yup. You read that right. It's not often I have back to back Rants on the same team but yesterday it was James Harden moaning about the Houston Rocket's culture and today Russell Westbrook is all over the sports news about wanting out. Trade 'em both and rebuild. I'll tell you why in today's rant.
