Pitino follow up on our raw radio chat
At the University of Louisville basketball tipoff luncheon, head coach Rick Pitino spoke to a crowd of 1,200 fans excited for the new season, but also nervous about the alleged prostitution scandal swirling about. FULL TRANSCRIPT OF PITINO REMARKS via Courier-Journal My October 8 radio conversation with Coach Pitino came up in his address to the crowd. ------ From WDRB.com - Pitino said that he was not angry at WHAS radio personality Terry Meiners, who began an interview last week by asking Pitino if he had plans to resign. “Some people thought he blindsided me,” Pitino said. “He probably did … The person who blindsided me is my friend … his job is not to build me up in that moment, his job is get

Hello, George Jetson. It’s about time your flying car arrived.
The Terrafugia TF-X flying car is here. Now if enough people fund the project, we may finally live like The Jetsons. I have a few questions. (1) How is air traffic separated for safety? (2) Since pilots can fly at very young ages, how would a 15-year-old pilot transition to street driver after landing? (3) If a runway is unnecessary, how is a public space cleared for a landing? (4) What's to keep that angry Bullitt County resident from shooting it down like he did to his neighbor's drone? FULL SCREEN FLIGHT Another flying car is the AeroMobil, but it requires a takeoff and landing strip. However we achieve this goal, let's get it done. Flying time is quality time.

My Rick Pitino interview on UofL’s prostitution scandal; fans react to media spotlight
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino is under fire for alleged scandalous behavior between players, recruits, and their adult guardians with prostitutes. Prostitute/madam Katina Powell claims she brought multiple prostitutes into UofL's Minardi Hall at the request of former director of basketball operations Andre McGee. The salacious story is told in Powell's book "Breaking Cardinal Rules." Hours before the radio interview, University of Louisville president James Ramsey issued a statement praising athletics director Tom Jurich without one word of support for Coach Pitino. Also, CBS Sports quoted an unnamed source saying that Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle, a former Louisville recruit, acknowledged to the NCAA "the gist" of allegations of paid escorts. Pitino had no idea any of this nonsense was

Now your day is perfect because you took a few minutes to watch puppies run through piles of leaves. Watch it again. And again. You'll get back to work eventually.

I wonder whether someone could give him some Louisville lessons and tell him that it's West End here. Same goes for the reporters who talk about the SeelBOCK hotel. Anyway, I enjoy you.

2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits a hooker
Surely you have heard that the University of Louisville basketball program is mired in an alleged sex scandal. A prostitute claims that she was paid by team staff member Andre McGee to provide female escorts for players, recruits, and sometimes the fathers of recruits. If true, and if the prostitute's claims that her own underage daughters were sometimes involved, massive federal charges related to sex trafficking on a public university campus would send the sports world into a Penn State Sandusky fervor and forever stain the careers of many prominent University of Louisville leaders. Early speculation is that head coach Rick Pitino will keep his job. (I've known Pitino for 25 years and my best guess is that he
The Pope is dope again, the truth shall set you free
After show pony lawyer Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel began crowing that his client Kim Davis had a private audience with Pope Francis, skepticism ensued. The Southern Poverty Law Center now lists Staver's firm as a hate group. Davis is the Rowan County clerk who refuses to acknowledge the U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing for same sex marriage. Her supporters say that the media is needlessly bashing her by prolonging the story. Every day brings a new chapter. Davis told ABC News “Just knowing the pope is on track with what we’re doing and agreeing, you know, kind of validates everything.” But there was no agreement or validation. An official Vatican statement clarified that Davis was one of dozens invited by the Vatican
