Grant's Rant: 12-12-23 Overrated Dolphins
December 12, 2023 12:00 - 3 minutesThe Miami Dolphins may be 9-4, but they don't scare anyone. They have yet to beat a good team and last night they crumbled to a so-so Titans team. Bottom line, the Dolphins aren't nearly as good as their record indicates! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Episode 288: Giving Thanks Part VI
December 12, 2023 09:32 - 34 minutesI continue my series of giving thanks. I begin by talking about recent comments made by former Reds and Fox announcer Thom Brennaman. Thom lost his career when he used a homophobic slur over a "hot" mic back in 2020. Recently, Brennaman said he wouldn't change a thing about his life the past three years. It got me thinking, would I change anything about my life the past three years? That is very difficult to answer, but I am grateful I have this platform. I talk about Sean Salisbury and...

Grant's Rant: 12-11-23 Shame on Mahomes
December 11, 2023 12:00 - 4 minutesBad look in my opinion for Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs. After yesterday's loss to the Bills, he tore into the officials for calling offsides on Kadarius Toney that negated a TD on a trick play. The officials made the correct call. Toney was clearly offsides. Mahomes should blame Toney, not the refs! Bad look by #15 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 287: Giving Thanks Part V
December 08, 2023 12:00 - 41 minutesOn today's podcast I continue my series on giving thanks. There are so many great people I've met along the way, way too many to name, but they have all had an impact on me. I talk about the biggest thrill of my career when I announced a Knicks game courtside at MSG with my idol Marv Albert a few feet away. I think that was the first time when I realized that I achieved my dream of being an announcer. I talk about being around Bill Russell and Willis Reed when they coached the Kings. Tha...

Grant's Rant: 12-7-23 Classless Jamal Adams
December 07, 2023 10:48 - 4 minutesYou really can't go much lower than Jamal Adams of the Seahawks. He got into it with a reporter from the Jets who posted a video on X showing Adams allowing the go-ahead TD against the Cowboys last Thursday. The reporter put "Yikes" on the post. So what did Adams do? He posted a picture of the reporter's wife with the same comment "Yikes". If you want to go after the reporter who you don't like, fine, but keep his wife out of it!

Grant's Rant: 12-6-23 Rodgers Unloads on Jets
December 06, 2023 12:00 - 4 minutesJets QB Aaron Rodgers unloaded on the Jets front office yesterday while appearing on the Pat McAfee Show. Rodgers is very upset at leaks coming from the organization regarding QB Zach Wilson. The Athletic wrote a story citing sources saying Wilson didn't want to risk injury by playing the final few games. It is pretty obvious won't be on the Jets after this season, but Rodgers isn't happy with the reported leaks coming from within the Jets locker-room. Learn more about your ad choices. Vis...

Episode 286: Giving Thanks Part IV
December 05, 2023 09:05 - 34 minutesOn today's episode I continue to give thanks for the great things that have happened in my career. I begin talking about my love for hockey and how it led to me calling some Sharks games on TV. One of the games I announced involved Wayne Gretzky and the LA Kings. To this day, that was a great thrill for me. I also talk about working for the Raiders and being their TV announcer for the preseason. I had tremendous experiences including being around the legendary Al Davis. I share some s...

Episode 285: Giving Thanks Part III
December 01, 2023 11:00 - 27 minutesOn today's episode I reflect back on some of my fondest memories that don't involve the Kings. I start off talking about doing mock play-by-play back in junior high school. All the students would chant my name at class assemblies if the program ran short and I would go on stage and do a game. Doing high school football and basketball games gave me tremendous experiences early in my career as well. This business is about reps. Perhaps the thing I reflect back on the most was working at ES...
Grant's Rant: 12-1-23 Sanders SI Sportsperson of the Year????
December 01, 2023 08:31 - 3 minutesLet me get this straight....Deion Sanders is SI's 2023 Sportsperson of the Year? Seriously? For what? Corado won 4 games this year and only once in the conference. What a joke!! Overhyped and overrated. That's the story of the 2023 Colardo Buffaloes football team! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Kings are 10-7, but too many players are having off nights. Last night Fox was the only starter to produce. Where are the rest of the guys? Learn more about your ad choices.

November 29, 2023 12:00 - 4 minutesThanks to Draymond Green the Warriors are imploding. Last night the Kings scored 69 second half points enroute to the big come from behind victory. Green helped the Kings cause with a technical foul in the 3rd quarter and an unforced turnover in the game's final minute. I really don't know why fans root for this guy!

November 28, 2023 09:52 - 3 minutesWarriors and Kings in Sactown tonight. Golden St has lost 8 of 11, but will have headcase Draymond Green back after serving his 5-game suspension for choking Minnesota's Rudy Gobert. The Kings are coming off a 4-2 trip but will most likely be without Keegan Murray who is listed as doubtful with a back injury. It should be a dandy! Learn more about your ad choices.

November 21, 2023 10:52 - 4 minutesThe Kings six game winning streak came to a screeching halt last night as they were embarrassed by the Pelicans 129-93. Other than the 1st quarter the Kings were thoroughly outplayed. I'm not going to make too much from just one game, but the Kings better play much better tomorrow in the rematch with the Pelicans!

November 21, 2023 10:41 - 38 minutesHappy Thanksgiving! I hope you are getting ready for a great holiday weekend. On today's episode I reflect on what I'm thankful for from my experiences with sports. Sports has dominated my life and I share some memories from my early years especially on Thanksgiving Day. Two plays that always stand out to me are Lawrence Taylor's 97 interception return against the Lions in 1982 and Leon Lett's blunder that cost the Cowboys the game against the Dolphins in 1993. I also talk about going ful...

November 20, 2023 10:54 - 3 minutesIs there a player in the NBA's Western Conference more valuable than the Kings De'Aaron Fox? I don't think so. Fox has the Kings surging and is averaging 31.9 points per game. When Fox is on the floor the Kings look as good as anyone and when he isn't, it's just the opposite pretty much!

Episode 282: Death of Oakland Sports
November 17, 2023 14:00 - 22 minutesYesterday the MLB owners voted 30-0 to approve the move of the Oakland A's to Las Vegas. This leaves the city with no professional teams. On today's episode I let you listen to some hillites from the great late Bill Kings who was behind the mic for so many great Bay Area moments! If you count the California Golden Seals who played in Oakland from 1967-1976 Oakland has now lost four teams and the chances of pro sports ever coming back to the East Bay are slim! The A's lease expires after n...
Grant's Rant: 11-17-23 F1 Disaster in Vegas
November 17, 2023 10:16 - 4 minutesThe F1 is in Vegas for tomorrow's race and thus far things couldn't be much worse. The first practice session was called off after just 9 minutes when Carlos Sainz ran over a loose manhole cover that damaged his car considerably. There are many hotel rooms and tickets available which is shocking! As of now this entire endeavor in Vegas looks like a bad idea! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
