Grant's Rant: 12-7-20 PATHETIC! That's right. The New York Jets are Pathetic. Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

I don't recall ever seeing an NFL team so awful, so embarrassing to the players that have previously worn the uniform, so embarrassing to the city they represent as the New York Jets. And don't give the Las Vegas Raiders any credit for it either. They looked equally as bad. My comments in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 12-4-20 Kirk Herbstreit's comments about University of Michigan? Wow. Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

I like Kirk Herbstreit for the most part but I also have to agree with Warde Manuel University of Michigan's AD. It was the statement of a "fool". And Kirk did play at Ohio State so I think there could have been a little more to it all. At least he walked it back and apologized. I'll talk about that as I see it in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 12-3-20 NBA fans don't hold your breath. Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. The NBA is going to release the first-half of the season tomorrow and I hope it's in pencil. Think about it. Where are the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors going to play. If the San Francisco 49er's can't play at home outside, is the Governor really going to let the basketball guys play... indoors? What will the NFL say about that? Interesting right? I like the way the NHL is playing its' cards. Hear what I have to say about it in today's rant. If you like what you heard, give me a thumbs up, subscribe and share. Thanks for listening!

Grant's Rant: 12-2-20 Buddy Hield off the bench for the Sacramento Kings? Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Look, I really like Buddy and you'll hear more about that in today's rant but Monte McNair, Sacramento Kings General Manager says all is good. I don't think so. Covid is beginning to rear it's ugly head in the NBA just weeks before the season is supposed to start and some of the players are complaining about having to play. Buddy wasn't happy about playing off the bench last year but that strategy was working. NBA players need to pay attention to what's going on around them. Fans are frustrated, stretching to buy or keep their tickets if they choose to continue to keep them. Some are tired of multimillionaire athletes complaining while they have to scrape together are few bucks and skip a meal to attend a game. And then there's the Sacramento Kings doing what they do so frequently. Starting over. Again. New GM, fairly new coach and staff and a new mix of players now looking at a different strategy. Or not. We shall see. More in today's rant.

Episode 17: Gerry Davis umpire math. 39 + 43 = 5000 in Major League Baseball. Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Today I have the incredible privilege of interviewing Gerry Davis, Major League Baseball Umpire extraordinaire. 39 years behind the plate and on his way to 5000 games. Unbelievable. He's only 43 games away. 2021 should get him there. What's equally unbelievable are the stories he can tell from that many years. I mean think about it. What he's seen. The players he's watched come up, build their careers and retire. Repeat that sentence several times for the generations of players that he's umped. If you like baseball, you're going to love sitting with us on this conversation.

Grant's Rant: 12-1-20 Sarah Fuller SEC Special Teams Player of the Week? Gummy bears for all. Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

C'mon now. A squib kick down the field and you're awarded special play recognition? What's going on? Absolutely agree with Sarah's accomplishments but "player" recognition for just one not so average kick? How about something different in her recognition? Give the award of the week to somebody who really deserved it. Not just a one kick wonder. I applaud Sarah, I do. But is she really Special Teams PLAYER of the week? I have a little more to say about that in today's rant.

Grant's Rant: 11-30-20 Relax NFL fans, you're lucky to have a season. Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

Hey, NFL fans, what are you complaining about? Maybe the games aren't great. Maybe the star players are getting sick. Maybe some games are getting cancelled. But hey, there's a season. The NFL is going to make a season happen regardless of what it looks like in the end. There will be a Super Bowl. They're doing what they have to do to give you something to watch so relax already. It's 2020 and that's it. I'm also fired up about the Las Vegas Raiders but you're going to have to listen to get that fury. It's all in today's rant.

Episode 16: A very heartfelt THANK YOU to YOU. Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday. Certainly, it's a day of family and friends and, of course, food. And more food. And then sports for people like us. And more sports. But I really want to take a minute to reflect and share some stories of gratitude and appreciation for you. Without an audience of fans and friends, there really is no show. There's no value. So it's you that makes what I do worth doing. For that, I'm grateful. For being there when I needed you in this craziest of years, thank you. For listening and making the podcast a success in such a short period of time, thank you. And for sharing your questions and stories and concerns and opinions. Thank you. I can't do this without you. I hope you appreciate my reflection on Thanksgiving in today's episode. And again, I cannot say it enough, thank you for your support.

Grant's Rant: 11-27-20 A day of gratitude and thanks, and a bit of wonder on the NBA. Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

What better way to share the holiday of thanks giving than with appreciation for you, my listeners and fans. Please know I appreciate you and thank you for your support in this crazy year. Be sure to check out the full podcast today as I share my thoughts and memories of the Thanksgiving holiday. And for today's rant (You didn't think I wasn't going to rant about something did you?) College football is running into Covid trouble. The NFL is running into Covid trouble but the NBA is going to start in three weeks? Folks, don't get your hopes up. There's no bubble this time and the NBA players are just as human as college football players and NFL players last I checked. I said it before and I'm saying it again. Here what it is in today's rant.
