Does the NBA2Lou scare you?
The Louisville Forum asked former NBA player and Denver Nuggets general manager Dan Issel to offer his thoughts on the NBA2Lou project. I was asked to moderate and throw in my own comments about the potential of snaring an NBA team for the city of Louisville. Naturally, the subject creates animated opinions from those who are opposed to adding professional sports. Some fear that it would harm the University of Louisville's athletic pursuits and others worry that taxpayers will be on the hook for various concessions made for team owners. Issel and his investors have the city's best interests in mind. Bring it on. The CJ's Phillip M. Bailey live-Tweeted the forum. Great audience questions and general enthusiasm for the prospect
The Paul Sorvino death stare – don’t blink or you’re a dead man
Actor Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas) made headlines a few months ago after threatening to kill Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for allegedly derailing his daughter's acting career. Weinstein faces a litany of allegations that he sexually abused, debased, and squelched the careers of women who rebuffed his sexual advances. Paul Sorvino and his wife Dee Dee appeared on Great Day Live this morning for Friday's Unbridled Eve gala. Off the air, Sorvino told me that men praise him every day for validating that dads will go to any length to defend their daughters. We talked about Weinstein's reign of terror and Sorvino reiterated that he would "kill that mother fucker" (Weinstein) if he had 5 minutes with him. That's what dads
Who wants to drink poison now?
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin used some twisted logic to describe his concern for the state's schoolchildren last week. Surely you've seen the video that made national news. Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin on the teacher rallies today. “I guarantee you somewhere in Kentucky today a child was sexually assaulted that was left at home because there was nobody there to watch them.” pic.twitter.com/Q4PpzFsTt2— Marcus Green (@MarcusGreenWDRB) April 13, 2018 Bevin was undoubtedly upset that overrides of his vetoes of multiple bills had produced new legislation that he did not like. But to swerve from teacher protests leaving school kids vulnerable to sexual assault, drug use, and inadvertent poisoning sounded cray-cray. 48 hours after the governor's rant roiled Kentucky and made
Gov. Matt Bevin on KEA: “They’re frauds…they just want mayhem”
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin jumped on the radio with me last night for his monthly interview. It became explosive pretty fast. With a midnight deadline looming, Bevin announced that he had just signed the pension reform bill to stop its financial freefall. Kentucky teachers have been protesting the bill for changes affecting new hires. Bevin said that the Kentucky Education Association (KEA) leadership had been against it but in recent days had been touting it. Bevin taunted the KEA as "frauds" who don't have a real sense of what's best for teachers. (transcripts via Courier Journal) Bevin claims the KEA "just wants mayhem" Replies from the KEA, the Democrat Party, attorney general Andy Beshear, and teachers have been harsh. The AG
Chris Mack shudders at being compared to Terry Meiners – wouldn’t anyone?
Well...this is character building. New Louisville basketball coach Chris Mack has already declared that he is way better looking than I. Ouch. WHAS-11 sports anchor Kent Spencer just sat down with Coach Mack on a variety of topics but it eventually got around to the Mack & Meiners comparison. He's right, you know. Here's part 2 of Kent Spencer's interview with Chris Mack... and part three. Thanks to Kent Spencer for the videos. Brothers from different mothers.

Meet Amy McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot now running for congress in Kentucky-6
Former Marine Lt. Colonel Amy McGrath is an outsider in the Democratic primary race for Kentucky's 6th congressional district. The Democrats have all but ignored her, opting instead to back Lexington Mayor Jim Gray. The primary winner will run against incumbent Republican Andy Barr this November. Amy McGrath popped by my radio studio today to talk about her vision for the sixth district, the Second Amendment, arming school teachers, government funding for health care, Governor Matt Bevin's Medicaid waiver, violence, and her military service. Amy's web site: amymcgrathforcongress.com Amy McGrath likens Donald Trump to the central figure in "The Emperor's New Clothes"
