Grant's Rant: 11-12-20 James Harden and the Houston Rockets, time for a change? Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

No, that's not sacrilegious. It's the truth. James Harden and playoff championships are synonymous, right? Wrong! How many Championships has Hardin won with the Houston Rockets? Count 'em. It's easy. No fingers. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. So why are he and Russell Westbrook balking about the direction of the team? Time for a change? Here what I have to say in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-11-20 What is up with Jerry Reinsdorf and Tony LaRussa? Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

Hey Jerry, I think you should step away from both teams, the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls and do Chicago a favor. Take your buddy Tony LaRussa with you. What a pathetic situation for the fans. Something is not right. Nah, not gonna work for me. I'll tell you why in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-10-20 New Orleans Saints meal ticket for Jameis Winston Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

Yeah, it's a big win, yeah, Drew Brees may be the man to take the Saints marching in to the Super Bowl but what's up with Jameis Winston? C'mon. This eating a win is childish. Grow up. Hear my thoughts about Drew, the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and of course, this awkward eating a win thing on today's rant.

Episode 11: Neil Funk, Chicago Bulls play by play announcer recalls highlights of his 29 years with the team. Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

This is a special conversation for me as Neil was calling the Chicago Bulls games for most of their Championship teams. He lived through "The Last Dance" as a participant, not a bystander. Nearly 40 years as a play-by-play guy and 29 with Chicago. Oh what a great time that must have been watching Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen do their thing. We'll talk about many of the "greats" he got to see, get a little personal with him and close out with questions from you, the listeners. I think you're going to enjoy today's show.

Grant's Rant 11-9-20 Notre Dame & Clemson, wait let's replay that. Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

What a great game. Notre Dame and Clemson go into double overtime but how do you spoil a great experience? Keep stopping it. C'mon. Replay after replay after replay. Enough already. College ball has to change their replay protocol. It came close to ruining the game for me. Yeah, that kind of stuff just sets me off. It's goofy. Hear my suggestion on today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-6-20 The NBA in December, right? WRONG! Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

We'll call it the 25% rule for the NBA. They want to get the season started in December. Not cool. Covid cases are rising and they want to put 25% of the fans in the stadiums. Nope. Not for me.

Episode 10: Grant ponders the future of sports broadcasting. Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

As a young sports journalist travel was everything and doing what you had to do to get an interview was part of the thrill of the job. But travel is done. At least for the foreseeable future. Interviewing players like Steve Garvey, and Jack Clark. Or Walter Payton and Mike Ditka when the Chicago Bears were all that. Those are fond memories. But what does that look like going forward? How will tomorrow's new breed of sports journalists function? ESPN just laid off 300 people. Things are changing. Let's talk about that today.

Grant's Rant: 11-5-20 MLB's Rob Manfred and three blind wives. Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

What is wrong with MLB? Enough already. Why would you even think anyone would pay attention to your show, The Gold Glove Awards, up against the Presidential election returns? Not smart. And neither are the three blind NFL wives who think somebody cares about what they have to say about their husbands. Do you care??? Let me tell you why nobody does in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-4-20 Idiot of the week is Chicago Bears Javon Wims Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

That's right. Big game with the New Orleans Saints for the Chicago Bears looking for redemption from either Monday night's embarrassment or last year's big loss to the Saints. Javon Wims decides he'll get even with Chauncy Gardner Johnson for knocking off his mouthgard... with two sucker punches to the head. Brilliant. And then gets suspended. And then appeals it. You have got to be kidding me. I have something to say about that in today's rant.

Episode 9: Jerry Reynolds and Grant share some stories from over the years. Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

Two time Sacramento Kings Coach, General Manager of the Sacramento Monarchs and my dear friend and broadcast partner for the past 20 years, Jerry Reynolds and I are going to have some fun today. Takes a little of the anxiety of the election off and gives me the opportunity to share some stories with a great guy. Wait 'til you hear what he has to say about Bill Russell or Larry Bird, Ralph Sampson and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers. If you're a Sacramento Kings fan, you've got to be a fan of Jerry. I think you'll really enjoy joining us for today's conversation.
