Episode 306: Perils of Sports Gambling
April 19, 2024 12:13 - 27 minutesThis past week the NBA gave a lifetime ban to Jontay Porter of the Raptors for his involvement in betting on NBA games. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? In today's episode I explore the perils of sports gambling particularly among young men. It is fast becoming a big problem in our society. I let you listen to a few stories from our major networks, who disclose disturbing data regarding sports gambling. This multi-billion-dollar business continues to grow and continues to swallow up ...

Grant's Rant: 4-18-24 Banned From NBA
April 18, 2024 13:00 - 4 minutesIf you're stupid enough to bet on games in the league you play for then you deserve to be banned forever! The NBA gave a lifetime ban to the Raptors' Jontay Porter after an investigation revealed he violated the league's gambling policy. In a word, stupid! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 4-17-24 Bye Bye Warriors
April 17, 2024 11:32 - 3 minutesIt was all Sacramento last night as the Kings rolled over the Warriors. I think it's safe to say we just watched the end of a great run by a generational team in Golden State. For the Kings, they will try and do something that they were unable to do all season and that's beat the Pelicans. New Orleans went 5-0 against the Kings this season all in blow out fashion!

April 11, 2024 10:14 - 3 minutesThere is no tomorrow for the Kings if they want to secure the final guaranteed playoff spot in the West. It is a must win vs the Pelicans tonight.

April 10, 2024 11:52 - 4 minutesThe Kings were rolling in the first half vs the Thunder last night as they led by 19 points. It didn't matter as the Kings once again blew a big lead and lost 112-105. It certainly looks like the Kings are heading towards next week's play-in game as a 7th or 8th seed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

April 05, 2024 12:00 - 3 minutesThings were looking great for the Kings last night against the Knicks. Up 21, leading by double digits in the 3rd quarter and then things fell apart. The Kings lost 120-109 and, in all likelihood, will now be a play-in team. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Episode 305: Misguided A's Fans
April 05, 2024 07:04 - 17 minutesYesterday it was announced that the Oakland A's will be playing in West Sacramento beginning next season for three years. On today's episode I talk about the facts...numbers that cannot be disputed regarding the franchise's attendance spanning seven decades. I feel bad for the A's fans, but the bottom line is they didn't support the team even when the A's were winning. I read an excerpt from Marcos Breton's column in yesterday's Sacramento Bee. He put it better than I could have. A's fans...

April 04, 2024 10:48 - 3 minutesThe Kings open a four-game trip in New York tonight. This is a huge game for both Knicks and Kings! 100 points may very well win this contest. If the Kings win, they will be tied with Phoenix and New Orleans. In all likelihood only one of these teams is going to be guaranteed of being in the playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices.

April 02, 2024 13:00 - 3 minutesThe Kings take on the Clippers tonight before heading out onto the road for a season defining 4-game trip. As I've said, I think it is going to take a minimum of 5-3 to secure a top six spot in the West with wins against Phoenix and New Orleans a must! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grant's Rant: 4-1-24 Kings Looking Like A "Play-In" Team
April 01, 2024 13:00 - 3 minutesThe Kings have 8 game left. They probably have to go 6-2 to be the 6th seed or at the worst 5-3. I don't see that happening! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

March 28, 2024 13:00 - 3 minutesGood to see Draymond Green of the Warriors has improved his behavior on the court. He was ejected last night just a few minutes into the game against the Magic for arguing with the officials. It was his 4th ejection of the season. Same 'ole story for Green!

March 27, 2024 12:00 - 3 minutesThe Kings lost by 36 last night to the Mavs. Am I surprised by the deficit? Yes, but I told you before the game the Kings were in a rough spot due to their crazy schedule. Time to move on to Friday! Kings need to win that game against the Mavs, plain and simple!

March 26, 2024 13:00 - 4 minutesAccording to ESPN, the NBA is investigating the Raptors Jontay Porter for suspicious activities involving sports gambling.

Episode 304: USA's Sports Gambling Mess
March 26, 2024 09:48 - 26 minutesGambling on sports in America has been going on for generations. What was once taboo for sports leagues has become the norm, and that's promoting sports gambling. On today's episode I discuss the past week and the various stories that are having a negative impact on our sports leagues. Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers said publicly yesterday that he has never bet on sports or instructed anyone else to do so on his behalf. Yet, many questions remain involving his former interpreter and gamblin...

March 22, 2024 11:12 - 3 minutesThe Kings lost to the worst team in the NBA last night. The Wizards who had lost 21 of 23 games and entered play with only 11 wins beat the Kings 109-102.

March 21, 2024 10:07 - 4 minutesI may be in the minority, but to me the news regarding Shohei Ohtani, and his interpreter is a non-story if baseball wasn't being bet on. Who cares if Ohtani was paying his friend's gambling debts. If baseball was not part of the wagering, big deal! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 303: March Means College Hoops
March 19, 2024 10:25 - 16 minutesIt's that time of year! The NCAA Men's and Women's tournaments take center stage this week. On today's episode I explore the reasons why so many people watch these games, despite knowing very little about the teams. Most of us fill out brackets, but base our picks on merely a guess. Some pick teams because of a nickname, or geographical location. Gambling also enters into the attraction of these games besides just a bracket. I have always wondered is there a bigger sporting event annual...

March 18, 2024 09:02 - 3 minutesThe Kings have 16 games remaining beginning tonight vs the Grizzlies. I feel the Kings need to go at least 10-6 the rest of the way to secure a top six spot in the West. These three games, Griz, Raptors and Wizards need to be automatic W's.

Grant's Rant: 3-15-24 Aaron Rodgers Attacked
March 15, 2024 12:00 - 5 minutesThe Aaron Rodgers story reported by CNN is hard to believe. CNN reported that Rodgers told a reporter in 2013 that the Sandy Hook tragedy was a conspiracy. The report came less than 24 hours after Rodgers name was linked to Robert F Kennedy's potential running mate. Why now? Why didn't we hear about this in 2013? Maybe because it never happened. Rodgers has since released a statement on X. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
