Grant's Rant: 11-3-20 Election day so let's talk politics...once only. Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

That's right. I could rant on so many other things but I-am-sick-and-tired of politicians ripping the other person to shreds and never telling me why I should vote for them. Enough already. Put up or shut up. I am fed up with it all.

Grant's Rant: 11-2-20 Brawlin' Dan Mullen, Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers today. Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

Alright already. I know. Lots going on so I had to touch on a few things. No, I don't think Dan Mullen should be allowed to attend the big NCAA Florida Gators vs Georgia Bulldogs game. No, I don't think the Detroit Lions have a chance in the next few years to get close to a playoff game. No, I don't think the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to miss the Superbowl unless something unfortunate happens to them. Lots to talk about today.

Grant's Rant: 10-30-20 Why is Jack Nicklaus getting torn up over Trump endorsement? Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

So 80 year old Nicklaus shares who he's voted for with some commentary and all of a sudden the "Golden Bear" has become a beast. C'mon. He's not wearing a MAGA hat on the course or suggesting anything more than his opinion off the course. And all of a sudden he's a bad guy? What is happening, and I mean that, what is happening to our country? Listen to my thoughts and comparisons on my rant today.

Grant's Rant: 10-29-20 Two viruses pollute Major League Baseball. Turner and Sabermetrics. Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

So, for all the world to see, a confirmed Coronavirus case named Justin Turner intentionally goes out on the field to celebrate a World Series victory hugging and kissing after being pulled from the game for a positive test. We all watched and nobody stopped it. Horrible look for MLB. Horrible look for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nearly as bad are the moves by the Tampa Bay Rays for their apparent reliance on what appeared to be analytics vs common sense and solid coaching in decisions made that likely cost them the game. Oh boy am I fired up. This is a huge black eye on the sport for so many reasons. Let me explain...
