Episodes

Grant's Rant: 4-9-21 How many masseuses does Deshaun Watson need? 09.04.2021

One masseuse, two masseuse, three masseuse, four. Keep losin' sponsors and you're going to have no more.  Deshaun Watson in  the news  again as his sponsors are putting him on hold.  I'll keep his comments of innocent until proven guilty for now but somebody is lyin' here and really now, how many masseuses does one guy need?  This could end very ugly if there's truth to the stories and there seem...

Episode 54: Gary Gerould, 36 years as the voice of the Sacramento Kings, shares some history. 09.04.2021

Gary Gerould, the G man.  The voice of the Sacramento Kings.  80 years old and he's still going strong.  He's done motorsports, the Olympics, local sportscaster, and the NBA.  His stories and history with the team are invaluable.  His familiarity with the league, the players, the coaches and the community show his professionalism and his humility.  He's an icon in the market, well loved and respec...

Grant's rant: 4-8-21 Are we too quick to judge and can we not accept apologies? 08.04.2021

Dusty Baker referenced an old quote on those who are too quick to judge.  If you live in a glass house, you had better not throw stones.  How many people today judge first and then act like it's no big deal.  After the judgement has been passed?  Yeah, this one irritates me for oh so many reasons but let's just stop this nonsense and really try to understand the situation.  Carlton Davis and Meyer...

Grant's Rant: 4-7-21 Major League Baseball's Rob Manfred's hypocrisy and hurt. 07.04.2021

So Manfred, Major League Baseball's commissioner jumps on the political bandwagon and yanks the All-Star game from Atlanta Georgia in an effort to make a statement about the new voting law that was passed into legislation.  Hear what Marco Rubio has to say about it, the hundreds of small and minority owned businesses that are going to be hurt by the loss of the $100 million dollars that come to to...

Episode 53: UCLA vs Gonzaga, Sacramento Kings as a team and the double standard in consequences for ignorance and stupidity. 06.04.2021

Yeah, I need to get a few things off my chest so let's talk about them.  Saturday, we saw the epitome of college basketball between Gonzaga and UCLA.  Now that was basketball as it was meant to be played.  Oh boy!  Then I had to suffer through the Sacramento Kings performances the last two games vs the Lakers and the Bucks.  Oh my.  They are just plain and simple, not a good team.  Sorry Kings fan...

Grant's Rant: 4-6-21 Tampa Bay Buccaneers DB Carlton Davis Offensive Tweet. 06.04.2021

Here we go again. Another player making a stupid move and trying to cover it up hoping there is no backlash.  What's worse is Carlton Davis insults the Asian community, deletes the tweet and then tries to cover it up with some BS that he didn't know what he said was offensive to Asians. Really?  And the consequence from the NFL leadership?  What?  Nothing yet? a. How stupid can one be to think the...

Grant's Rant: 4-5-21 The Jekyll and Hyde Sacramento Kings aren't going anywhere until they figure out consistency. 05.04.2021

De'Aaron Fox has a good game, the Kings tend to win, he has a bad game, they tend to lose.  Where's everybody else?  Yeah, De'Aaron is good but he's going to have off nights.  They lose to a battered Los Angeles Lakers team by a bunch, then almost win against the Milwaukee Bucks coming within one point of a victory.  Win five in a row and then start the losing streak.  What is going on?  This isn'...

Grant's Rant: 4-2-21 What's up with all this NFL Pro Day workout hype? 02.04.2021

The NFL's Pro Day workout is a joke.  Watching a quarterback throw the ball around with no defense pressuring him, no pads and shorts is no indicator of capability.  Watching that quarterback play in college is a much better gauge of skill and capability than what the reporters will write about what they saw at Pro Day workout.  Let's drop the wishful thinking and get real.  That's what I'm taking...

Episode 52: Retired Chicago Bear, Brian Urlacher, shares his thoughts on the NFL today...and more. 02.04.2021

Brain Urlacher, Hall of Famer, played his entire professional career with the Chicago Bears.  He shares what it's like walking the hallowed halls of defense that is legendary Bears history as well as his sense of the game today.  From New Mexico to Chicago he tells his story and what he thought of the team he played on and the people that surrounded him.  His good fortune in never having any serio...

Grant's Rant: 4-1-21 So what will the NBA do to address Kevin Durant's messaging to Michael Rapaport? 01.04.2021

Nope, this is no April Fools joke.  Kevin Durant and Michael Rapaport have been privately feuding over his comments about an earlier interview this year with Charles Barkley.  Apparently, Kevin has upped his personal vendetta with regular, even daily comments to Michael and the most recent spate of them has clearly crossed the line into vulgarity and more.  Not professional, not mature, and not wi...

Grant's Rant: 3-31-21 Mr. Bagley's favorite "dumb ass" named Western Conference Player of the Week. 31.03.2021

Haven't heard much from the Bagley family of late have we?  Actually, since Marvin broke his hand, Kings have won 7 out of 8 and the last 5 in a row.  Now that may mean something.  Especially since they've played some defense.  And it's working.  Without Marvin.  Hmmm.  And this week D'Aaron Fox gets Western Conference Player of the Week. He must be passing the ball pretty well to earn that recogn...

Episode 51: San Francisco 49ers make some interesting trade moves. 30.03.2021

So the San Francisco Forty Niners wrangle their way to a number three draft pick and we know that's going to be a quarterback, right?  Then what?  Does Jimmy Garappolo somewhere else?  Kyle Shanahan is on the hot seat with regard to his decision... that he hasn't even made yet!  This is a no win situation for whomever it is they decide since it's never going to be perfect.  But, c'mon, give it a r...

Grant's Rant: 3-30-21 I can't help it. This Deshaun Watson story is getting bigger. 30.03.2021

Here we go.  You've heard me address this a couple of times in the past few weeks.  You know I also believe innocent until proven guilty but what's beginning to materialize isn't looking good and it's getting a lot of attention.  If what is coming out is true, Deshaun Watson needs to worry about himself and get some help.  The NfL is going to have to make some tough decisions too.  Let's talk just...

Grant's Rant: 3-29-21 Competitive Balance in the NBA? You're kidding me, right? 29.03.2021

Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers when he want's out of New Orleans, LaMarcus Aldridge wants out of the San Antonio Spurs, he ends up in with the Brooklyn Nets, just like James Harden wanted out of Houston and ended up in the same place. Andre Drummond wants out of the Cleveland Cavaliers, off to the Lakers.  The rich are getting richer and the smaller market teams don't have a chance in hel...

Grant's Rant: 3-26-21 Marvin Bagley's father is a man of faith. 26.03.2021

We now know Marvins Bagley's father is a man of faith.  That's right.  He had prayers going out on his twitter feed of hands praying.  Unfortunately, they weren't prayers that were answered for him as Marvin is still a Sacramento King.  Now, on the flipside of that Mr. Bagley, we've got nothing against your son and I think he's going to grow up to be in the league playing for years to come.  You,...

Episode 50: NBA Trade Deadline winners and losers 25.03.2021

So let's talk trade today.  Eventful or uneventful is going to be the perspective of the team you favor.  For some teams, it was just another day,  like the Sacramento Kings.  Lots of rumors were swirling around Harrison Barnes and Buddy Hield to be certain.  Nothing though.  They're both still gainfully employed in Sacramento.  Or strategies like lose everybody to start fresh with a new draft, or...

Grant's rant: 3-25-21 Kyrie Irving takes a few days off...again. 25.03.2021

First, I want to be sure to say that if there are significant family reasons for missing the games your team so desperately needs you to play, then do what you must.  But, if what we're seeing is the personal implosion of a great player, then I don't get it.  I never wanted to miss a game, or a day of work.  I would never let my team or myself down. This is what I was born to do and I love doing i...

Grant's Rant: 3-24-21 Deshaun Watson accusers are piling on and no penalty flags...yet. 24.03.2021

I know.  I talked about this last week but the story is getting bigger.  Is there some  sort of  conspiracy?  Is there truth to the matter?  What if there is something behind the accusations?  There sure seem to be enough of them at this point.  What if it's nothing?  Then what's the point?  Who stands to win here?  This one is getting interesting and the facts are what we're all going to want to...

Grant's Rant: 3-23-21 The Sacramento Kings prepare for next year with trade deadline Thursday. 23.03.2021

Don't even think about it.  Not gonna happen and I'm sure this won't be the last time I talk about.  Kings aren't going to the playoffs this year.  No, they should not make a trade to help them get there either.  With their track record, that won't work either. With only 30 games left, this season is over and, once again, it's time to look forward to next year.  For what it's worth, Kings fans hav...

Episode 49: Greg Lukenbill and his history with the Sacramento Kings. 23.03.2021

This is a little slice of history today that takes us back to the genesis of the Sacramento Kings.  Without the gentleman I'm interviewing, there never would have been a team in town.  There would be no arena and there would never have been the oh so close, Sacramento Raiders.  That's right.  To hear how that almost came to be and how the Kings made it here, join me in the conversation with Greg L...

Grant's Rant: 3-22-21 Golf announcers please shutup! 22.03.2021

If you watch golf you're going to know what I'm talking about.  The networks have invested millions into "Pro-tracer" technology so we can see exactly where the ball is going.  So why do we have to endure somebody who is more often wrong than right, trying to explain to us what we're more accurately seeing depicted on the screen?  Right?  Am I wrong?  Isn't it irritating?  C'mon already,  talk to...

Episode 48: Has NFL free agency forever destroyed team dynasties? 19.03.2021

Let' s talk about some of those dynasties and the players that made them.  These were guys that made the team what it was and, in many cases, played out their careers with the same team.  If you were a kid with a player's jersey, you could proudly wear that jersey with confidence that number was going to be with you for a long time.  Think about the teams that fit the bill with multiple hall of fa...

Grant's Rant: 3-19-21 Deshaun Watson... how about innocent until proven guilty? 19.03.2021

We've seen this play before and will continue to see it after the challenges Deshaun Watson is facing.  But before we jump to conclusions, how about we let it go through the proper channels?  How about we don't just jump on the bandwagon of assumption and not be so quick to judge?  I'll share my thoughts in today's rant.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Grants Rant: 3-18-21 Hawks soar without Pierce. 18.03.2021

Hey, Atlanta Hawks former coach Lloyd Pierce lost his job for one reason.  Performance.  Regardless of what Dallas Mavericks, Rick Carlisle said in his support, there were supposedly issues in the locker room and Pierce was losing control of the team.  Do nothing and the problem gets worse.  Do something and you win 6 games in a row.  Right decision?  Let's talk about it in today's rant.  Learn mo...

Grant's Rant: 3-17-21 Marvin Bagley's hand...out. 17.03.2021

It's unfortunate that Marvin broke his hand.  It puts the team in a tough spot now.  But isn't it karma, the one day Uncle Reggie makes a fool of himself with a stupid tweet and the next day, Marvin s hand gets broken?  Call it what you will, I'll call it in the rant.  Take a listen and let me know what you think.   Learn more about your ad choices.
