GO PACK! 🏈 practice underway…former UK Wildcat ejected for cheap shot

Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans practice on August 5, 2019

Packers practices are underway. This week features a pair of practices with the Houston Texans visiting Wisconsin. Former Kentucky Wildcat Lonnie Johnson Jr. was ejected by his Texans coach for taking an unwarranted shot at Packers tight end Jace Sternberger. Johnson apparently ignored the no-hitting rule by jacking Sternberger after he caught a pass. Johnson then taunted Sternberger as he lay on the field.

Packers players were not pleased. Johnson later tweeted that he’s “not trying to hurt nobody.” Johnson’s UK degree was not in English.

Former Green Bay fullback John Kuhn (30) now analyzes team play for the Packers network. Here’s Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn’s report for August 5, 2019.

On a visit to Indianapolis, Peyton Manning explained how his famous Saturday Night Live kids football sketch almost never happened.

Thank God for that one parent. Comedy gold was birthed.

Kids and famous athletes. Always comedy gold.

What a proud legacy – bias, vulgarians, and the splintered media climate

Women’s March 2018

Stay classy, snowflake.

It’s time for President Donald Trump’s 2018 State of the Union address. TV pundits eagerly promote that they “will be providing analysis” after the speech. Haha. They mean “analysis” that they’ve already written in advance. Fox will kiss ass. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, all awards shows, late night comics, social media, Hollywood, sad newspaper dinosaurs, and vile snowflakes will kick his ass.

Now you you don’t have to watch! Colbert leads the daily Trump hate parade.

Remember the overriding rule in today’s grievance culture. Whine, whine, whine. Somebody will eventually give you some attention.

American media teaches us the basic rule: If it’s a conservative, it is evil. If it is liberal, it is to be embraced. If it is a “cause” where 3 people claim to be marginalized/mistreated/invisible, RUN WITH YOUR CAMERAS! IT’S A CRISIS! #crisis #mediamanipulation #fillingairtime

Media loves swimming in virtue posing. “We’re with you, girl! Your cause to save the anteaters from eating red ants is now OUR CAUSE!” #wearegoodpeople #andyouarenot

Hey look! It’s the Obamas! They’re great! If you don’t agree, you are a racist. Don’t be a racist! Tell everyone that Obama was the best president ever! And Bill Clinton was second best! And Joe Biden will be third best after he wins in 2020.

Michelle and Barack Obama. Aren’t they great? Everybody loves them…the best first family EVER!

Shhh. Quiet everybody! Will Ferrell is on Saturday Night Live and I’ll bet he’s going to have to admit that George W. Bush is NOT an idiot. Just you wait and see!

Will Ferrell studied sports communication at the University of Southern California. George W. Bush has degrees from Yale and Harvard.

As for that woman at the top of this post, she is 100% correct.

Gov Matt Bevin on pension meltdowns, tax overhaul, SNL, and Kentucky’s “pathetic” media

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is not shy in his radio appearances. I’ve had conversations with Mr. Bevin since his 2013 senate primary challenge to incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Gov. Bevin and I usually go long form on a variety of issues. This time we talked about Saturday Night Live’s skewering of Kentuckians, expected tax overhaul plans, alleged political corruption by both parties, and secrecy surrounding the governor’s new Anchorage home.

A few members of the media took offense to a comment Bevin made about Courier-Journal Frankfort bureau chief Tom Loftus. I spoke with Loftus about it the next morning and he simply laughed off the governor’s dig.

NBC’s Saturday Night Live perfectly chronicled the strange war between the media and the Trump presidential team. Melissa McCarthy is masterful as White House spokesman Sean Spicer.

After a blistering week of bizarre statements from Spicer and Kellyanne Conway, the pushback is that many media outlets are publishing incorrect information.

Dude. I’m a media guy. If we are going to press forward, let’s at least get our facts straight.

The cartoon below from Joel Pett of the Lexington Herald-Leader created quite an uproar over the reference to Governor-elect Matt Bevin’s children, four of whom are adopted African Americans from Ethiopia.

MY RADIO INTERVIEW WITH JOEL PETT HERE — Mr. Pett said he has no preconceived agenda for drawing future cartoons about soon-to-be Governor Bevin.

The governor-elect issued a strong response:

Statement from Governor-Elect Matt Bevin Regarding the Lexington Herald-Leader Cartoon

Frankfort, KY – The following is a statement from Governor-Elect Matt Bevin regarding the cartoon by Joel Pett published in today’s Lexington Herald-Leader:

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Indeed, today, the Lexington Herald-Leader chose to articulate with great clarity the deplorably racist ideology of “cartoonist”, Joel Pett. Shame on Mr. Pett for his deplorable attack on my children and shame on the editorial controls that approved this overt racism.

Let me be crystal clear, the tone of racial intolerance being struck by the Herald-Leader has no place in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and will not be tolerated by our administration.”

Cartooning cuts both ways. One day after the Paris terror attacks, this image popped online.

Bill Maher: “This is known as parody, and it’s a form of something we in the comedy business call a joke.”

Joel Pett and I discussed the careful treading required of white satirists to address the issue of race. What we are often told is that it’s better to let black people to make jokes about black people.
