It's time for Grant, Brandt's, Grant.

Yes, each and every day at 5 o'clock or shortly thereafter, we do a Grant's rant. What is on the menu today, sir?

Grant, is it really necessary on ESPN.com to put a report out that the Lakers most likely

will not be using their NBA Cup court for their quarterfinal matchup?

And I will parlay that with Rich Paul, LeBron James' agent.

Coming out and paraphrasing here,

the Lakers do not have enough to win this season, win a championship.

How about that?

Ridiculous.

Rich or Dan Patrick hit on it right there, expanding the fields for the NCAA tournament

and talk about expanding the college football playoff.

It doesn't matter if you expand it to 100 for both events.

There's always going to be one team left out.

Period.

End of story.

It just doesn't matter.

Keep it the same.

And I thought you hit on something really good early in this show.

Can we get rid of the NBA playing?

What's the point of it?

Go back to the best eight teams.
