Could Tom Jurich retain a position of authority at the University of Louisville? Yes. Don't believe the denials. There is backstage maneuvering to examine that possibility. More on that in a moment. First, let's deal with the nuclear meltdown that rocked our world. Since the University of Louisville's ties to a funneled shoe money scandal rocked the basketball world, the commonwealth of Kentucky is soaking in schadenfreude - taking pleasure in the misery of others. Rick Pitino is out. Tom Jurich is out (for now) after once again refusing to fire Pitino. That's the Jurich loyalty factor. "If he goes, I go." Well, Pitino is definitely gone after the FBI sting illustrates Louisville's involvement in a pay-for-play scheme to

Once Shining Moment: UofL’s rock bottom is at hand
The University of Louisville athletics department is imploding over the massive FBI sting that rocked much of the college basketball world today. The best college sports town in America is tone deaf. As UofL awaits an NCAA decision that could wipe out years of glory, two more Cardinal coaches cry out "Hold my beer. We can make it worse with fraud and corruption to enrich agents and financial leeches." Federal law enforcement documents reveal references to one, maybe two, University of Louisville assistant coaches negotiating with shoe company Adidas on the landing spot for one or more prized recruits. A side note: those connected to assistant coach David Padgett say he was shocked to learn of today's indictments and has zero knowledge
GIDDY CITY – The Beasman & Cat fans bask in UofL’s misery
For University of Louisville fans and the city that benefits from its revenue and research, today's announcement of an FBI sting involving coaches and multiple recruits was as tough as it gets. UK superman The Beasman didn't miss an opportunity to revel in schadenfreude. The wide ranging probe could involve many more schools. Let's just see where all the overpriced shoes drop.

Russian out another thriller
Jennifer Lawrence's film MOTHER! is racking up great reviews and now comes the first trailer for Red Sparrow, her next thriller (opening March 2, 2018). Jennifer makes Jason Bourne look like Benny Hill.
Bevin excoriates Beshear over continuing challenges to his administration
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has had it up to here with Attorney General Andy Beshear. Last week, Bevin directed many state agencies to cut budgets by 17.4%. Beshear claims the governor is breaking the law by replenishing the state's nearly depleted rainy day fund. The governor and attorney general are regular guests on my radio show. It just so happened that today was the governor's scheduled monthly appearance. He was loaded for bear. LISTEN Andy Beshear's next scheduled radio appearance is September 19th at 4:10 PM on 840WHAS. See you then.
Jen on hurricanes and American upheaval, MOTHER!
Haha. Bwahahahahahaha. When Jennifer Lawrence talks... ...some people lose their minds trying to read too much into it. handle with fear. don’t miss #mothermovie in theatres friday and your gettickets now: https://t.co/8WCqd9F3iy pic.twitter.com/QeuMzumyU7— mother! (@MotherMovie) September 11, 2017 Even SNOPES (a known hoax site) had to weigh in on the overreaction. Jennifer Lawrence responds: "My remarks were taken grossly out of context. Obviously I never claimed that President Trump was responsible for these tragic hurricanes. That is a silly and preposterous headline." Promoting her new film MOTHER! on Jimmy Fallon's show, Jen also talked about her trip to Louisville where ax throwing became a memorable moment (approx 6 minutes into video). I hope this is the theme song for the crazy horror film MOTHER! And since
Most annoying songs ever
Everyone has a roster of songs that are so irksome that just one note induces an immediate station switch. In no particular order, I despise each of these songs and never want to hear them again because I never wanted to hear them in the first place. Kill me now so I don't have to hear Terry Jacks whine one more time. But what's even worse is the sound of grownups chanting ooga shagga ooga shagga ooga shagga ooga... And the absolute worst song of all time...
Freeway Rick Ross walks a straight line today
Once America's top cocaine dealer, Freeway Rick Ross has traveled an arduous path. He hid his drug dealing profession from his mom by purchasing buildings instead of pricey cars and flashy clothes. Ross notes the irony of buying drugs from foreigners funded by the U.S. government. Freeway Rick sold over a billion dollars of cocaine in the 1980s. Eventually he wound up in prison, learned to read, taught himself legal strategies, and made it back into the free world. But now he wants to teach young people, particularly black males, that "the life" is a fake fantasy. He knows today's opioid crisis could be the end of us all. Freeway Rick Ross wants to stop people from making the mistakes
