Former WHAS11 and WDRB meteorologist Jeremy Kappell was fired at a Rochester, New York station after the internet mob determined that his on air phrasing of Martin Luther King Junior's name was a deliberate racist shoutout. In what reasonable people would consider spoonerism, Kappell mashed up "King" and "Junior" and said "coon" and quickly corrected himself. It's the exact same verbal mashup that ESPN's Mike Greenwell tripped through a few years back without repercussion. Wait, what? That's right. The ESPN guy said "oops" and went on with his life back then. Today it's all about the WOKE factor. It doesn't matter what a person says in their own defense. The WOKE crowd is allowed to determine what is in another

The Golden Globes with balls…and without
Here's the 2016 Golden Globes monologue by Ricky Gervais...cracking jokes about Caitlyn Jenner, old man balls, cross dressers, celebrity egos, aged women, Catholic priest molestation, the Holocaust, Ben Affleck's infidelity, Charlie Sheen's hookers, awards prepaid by studios, and other uncomfortable subjects. As he was introducing actor Mel Gibson, Gervais annihilated Gibson for his anti-Semitic rant, arrest, and addiction problems. Gibson then walks onstage, gives Gervais a giant hug and tells the crowd that he loves seeing Ricky every three years (as host) because it "reminds me to get a colonoscopy." Comedy is exaggeration. This is the very basis of show business, but in today's WOKE world of sensitivity, comedy died. Had that Gervais & Gibson exchange occurred today, the media
David Padgett on this year’s Cardinals, Chris Mack, Pitino in Greece, and the new Padgett basketball camps
Former University of Louisville basketball star and interim head coach David Padgett popped onto the radio to share his views on this season's Cardinals, the progress of his former players, new head coach Chris Mack, how Pitino in Greece makes sense, and the new Padgett basketball camps. Great insights from a guy who played, became an assistant coach, and then led the Cardinals to a decent season in the midst of turmoil. As for Pitino now coaching in Greece, have a look for yourself. Rick Pitino is not messing around!#GameON pic.twitter.com/jeDCSLoPVj— EuroLeague (@EuroLeague) December 28, 2018

Goodbye 2018, Hey ’19, We Can Dance Together
My best friend Dr. Henry Sadlo, a renowned Louisville cardiologist, organizes weekend hikes via group texts. Fellow physicians, medical professionals, athletes, neighbors, and longtime schoolmates gather together to walk for anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. We launched 2019 with a 5 mile trek through a portion of The Parklands, an incredible parks system cobbled together by various philanthropists. The family of Humana co-founder David Jones Sr. created much of the organizational work and design. The Parklands is one of the most stunning public parks in the region. Any person who is capable of walking, running, or biking has a heavenly exercise playground available to them every day of the year. Cheers to a healthy 2019. As for the insanity of
