IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT WITH GRANT NAPEAR

Give the NBA credit for trying.  But the COVID protocols have now caused 21 games to be postponed.  So it's a great effort but good enough. I'm going to say it.  I told you so.  This was inevitable.  How are you going to make those games up in the season?  What's going to happen with baseball?  That's an even bigger disaster waiting happen.  Let's hope not.  Let's talk about it for minute today.  ...

Major League Baseball's Eric Byrnes sure is passionate about his projects.  You'll hear that come through loud and clear today as we have a conversation about all he's doing right now and this boy is busy!  He's launched a non-profit entity called "The Let Them Play Foundation", has a podcast, a fitness program and now, "No Filter Network" doing some unique approaches to disrupt the traditional br...

We all saw it.  Unbelievably bad decisions by Kevin King and Green Bay ultimately loses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  It happened.  It's over.  And now rumblings Rodgers wants out.  Oh boy.  Let's talk about it for minute on today's rant.   Learn more about your ad choices.

There aren't too many guys that are still playing in the NFL at the age of 38 and still at the top of their game after 16 years.  Robbie Gould has played for the New England Patriots, the Chicago Bears, and currently the San Francisco Forty-Niners. He also had a shorter stint in Baltimore and with the New York Giants.   He is one of the those guys that has not only been able to survive in the leag...

That's right.  I hear more people rave and boast about the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team than most other collegiate sports programs.  So here's a taste of what I rant about today.  John Calipari has won one, yes, count them, one National Championship at Kentucky in the last decade.  Yes, lots of great players but only one championship.  How would that fly let's say, in Alabama?  Hey, 'Bama fan...

Bill Belichick's longtime significant other decides to make some comments on social media about Tom Brady and his team's win over New Orleans.  And then gets hammered for what she sent out.  And then tries to clarify.  How about everyone's boyfriend, girlfriend, significant other, family member, husband or wife just let the actual person speak for themselves?  And if they choose not to comment or...

Kurt Warner, former St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals and NY Giants quarterback wants to see the NFL playoff games played in closed environments.  Not on the natural turf of the teams that play in the frozen tundra.  Really Kurt?  And take the playoff game away from the fans that support their home team?  Take the team away from home field advantage?  The NFL is meant to be played outside on whate...

How about that!  The Sacramento Kings not only set a franchise record for the most average points allowed on defense but it's also a league record as well.  That's right, the Kings have the  #1 absolute worst defensive rating  of any team in the NBA, ever.  Way to go guys.  Oh, but De'Aaaron Fox had a career high 43 points.  They still lost.  Who cares how many points De'Aaron had?  Pretty soon, n...

Did you know Reggie Theus was not only a basketball recruit but played football and baseball with the same vigor and passion that he did as basketball?  From his college days at University Nevada Las Vegas to his professional start in basketball in Chicago with Jerry Sloan, Reggie gives a great perspective on his career.  He was one of a kind during his days on the court and he continues today in...

What is going on with Houston sports?  First it was James Harden with the Houston Rockets and now that the soap opera has ended and he's a temporarily happy camper in Brooklyn with the Nets, up pops Deshaun Watson.  Yeah, that Deshaun Watson.  Franchise quarterback for the Houston Texans.  He wants out.  This is one special player you do not want to lose if you're a Houston football fan.  But it's...

As promised, today is a sort of rant off between Zack and John.  Zack goes off on the NBA and the crazy Covid protocols and John gets after the Cleveland Browns.  Both did a good job but let me know what you think too.  We'll be doing it again so let's see who can bring it.  I look forward to your comments!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Scot Pollard, former Sacramento King and Indiana Pacer talks with Grant about his perspective on today's NBA and the attitudes and behavior of players in the league.  The conversation goes in a variety of directions that you may not have expected as they reflect on how players were when Scot played versus how they are today.  There are many differences  but you'll be surprised to hear the similari...

As you know, I've been ranting on James Harden for over a month.  The Houston Rockets may now be a better team because of his moving to the Brooklyn Nets.  I hope so. Now he can see what he can do to disrupt another already challenged team.  He's going to get to play with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.  Well, at least Durant.  We know where he is on game night.  Isn't it clear to league leadership...

Every year around College Bowl time the conversation bubbles up.  Big 10 vs Pac 10 vs SEC.  After so many years of less than stellar performances, let's just call it what it is.  Big 10 is good.  That's it.  Not great.  If you want to know more about how  I come to that conclusion, then be sure to listen up today.   Let's end this annual discussion.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Seriously now.  If you or I had acted the way Kyrie Irving is acting, we would no longer have our jobs. We get paid, we go to work and we support our "team" ...our company, our fellow workers, right?  So why does the NBA allow this sort of behavior to continue?  Why do these players the team so desperately needs for many reasons, get to simply disappear?  What's with Kyrie anyhow?  C'mon, if you n...

You know I could go on forever about the value of sports and it's impact on so many things, including life in general.  I have a particular story that I want to share for it's value in so many ways that began with a parking space and led to a lifelong relationship for two families that just happen to be Alabama fans.  One of those families also happens to be the family of Jordan Battle of the Univ...

Just days ago I ranted about the lunacy of Marvin Bagley's father tweeting about trading his son and harping on Luke Walton,  the Kings' coach.  And then De'Aaron Fox's father chiming in and then De'Aaraon having to get a last word in.  And the Kings were playing well.  That was then and this is now.  Marvin looks like he's forgotten something in the locker room and the team has been embarrassed b...

Why does a losing coach get to call the shots?  I don't care what his name is or what he wants to do going forward, make a decision and let everybody get on with it.  Why is Jim Harbaugh dealing with the Michigan Wolverines like this.  Enough already.  He needs a deadline so everyone else can move on, with or without him.  Let's talk about this shall we?   Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's conversation is with a gentleman who has been recognized as Tennessee's Sportscaster of the Year seven times in a row!  He's also the longtime voice of the Nashville Predators Hockey Team having been in that role since the franchise began. What an accomplishment as well.  But it didn't start out all that simply.  Join me as Pete and I have a discussion on his remarkable career and the incr...

Chris, it's too late.  Your teammates from Michigan have already spoken about the Fab Five.  There have been numerous stories told and videos made already.  Problem is you just refused to participate when you had the chance to join in with the guys and set the stories straight.  But you can't for some reason and now, 30+ year's later, you're finally going to tell your story?  How about you just ap...

What happens when you say something that is technically correct, then completely misguided by someone on social media?  If you're Doug Adler, you lose your job, your career, your voice and damn near your life.  Doug's story is a frightening one for anyone in the media with a microphone in front of them.  Describing play by Venus Williams at the Australian open in 2017 did it.  Now nearly three yea...

Maybe you haven't heard but this past Sunday the Eagles could have, should have won the game.  But they didn't.  And that meant the New York Giants didn't get to the playoffs.  The Giants didn't deserve to be there anyway but that's not the point.  Pulling Jalen Hurts from the game is and boy do I have something to say about it in my rant today.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Someone has to talk some sense into Marvin Bagley's father. This is an embarrassment to the entire league and a bigger embarrassment to Sacramento.  I thought this issue was done at the end of last year it was so ridiculous and now, it gets even more exaggerated.  Who's the child and the father in this situation?  Mr. Bagley, go away and come back when you grow up!
