IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT WITH GRANT NAPEAR

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.  Learn more ab...

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 s...

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.

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.

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 wi...

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. Learn more about your ad ch...

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 m...

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 Sampso...

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.

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 happ...

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 to...

A dear friend and an incredible human being, Sean Salisbury and I talk about his professional sports career, his professional broadcasting career,  his crash to the bottom and now his drive to regain what he once had.  Only this time it's a little different.  From USC to a championship in the Canadian Football League, ESPN sports and now Houston Radio, his story is one that should be shared with a...

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 apparen...

So let me help you all understand some things about the NBA.  It's not a charity.  Playing the game is how the league generates revenue to pay the players.  Danny Green of the Los Angeles Lakers thinks 8 weeks off before starting up the season again is too short.  I got some news for ya, Danny.  I'll tell you in today's rant.

We started our careers very close to each other in Sacramento and have been friends for over  30 years.  I'm talking with Marcos Breton of the Sacramento Bee about sports and the changes over the years on how games are covered.  His love of baseball.  The challenges facing sports coverage going forward with regard to the changing media landscape and the changes in player participation.  We'll even...

After Sundays game with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Rays finally ending after 4 plus hours with an error, a bobble and a trip, how can you call that the greatest sport.  Football TV ratings crush baseball.  Hear me out on todays rant.

This one is hard to believe.  But because Tom Brady says hire the guy, they do?  What is wrong  with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?  Who would think this is a good move?  I for one, do not and if you agree, be sure to let me know.  Hear my thoughts on it in today's rant.

An incredible man, an incredible announcer for the NBA and the TV voice of the NY Knicks, Mike Breen and I have some fun today.  We'll talk about our business, our teams and his experience in the "bubble" with the NBA.   We even drift into a conversation about NBA players, like LeBron James and so much more.  Join me as I speak with a soon to be basketball hall of famer, Mike Breen.   Learn more a...

Emily Mayfield seems to have an opinion about the feedback on her husband's performance.  I think the Cleveland fans should be the ones with the opinion and they don't need any help.  I'll explain in today's rant. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This game has no hope.  Here's a riddle with the answer in my rant.  What does 2 and 5 mean in the NFC East?  Don't waste your time  tonight.  Do something fun. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Yeah.  The Miami Dolphins.  Ryan Fitzpatrick looks good.  3-3.  Maybe make the playoffs.  Oh wait,  he's not starting.  Need to play for the future.  Play Tua.  I have an opinion on this.  But then again, you knew that .  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey, everything I rant on isn't sports.  Scot and I experienced and complained about the absurdity of 4 way stop signs but in Indianapolis,  roundabouts make all the difference.  Who's dumb idea is it to keep those stupid 4 way stops when we could keep things moving smoothly at the intersection?  Our thoughts are similar as you'll find out as we hang out in Carmel...Indiana.  And just so you know,...
