The joy quotient in the Commonwealth of Kentucky shoots through the ceiling every November when basketball season begins. It's a religion in the state. Other states celebrate Rhodes scholars changing the world. We celebrate sweaty teenagers who can dunk a ball or sprint with a pigskin. That's just who we are. >>>>>>>>>RADIO SCRIPT>>>>>>>>> THE BEASMAN tipoff luncheon air date 10-28-16 WELL, THERE’S YOUR GAY BOYFRIEND SLICK RICK OUT THERE TO THE TIPOFF LUNCHEON TELLING HIS LIES AGAIN. “OHHH.

Coach Cal and Rick Pitino: crying on the yachts
With perpetual local interest in basketball, media outlets have found an off season storyline. The head basketball coaches at UK and U of L are in a war of words. Last week, Kentucky's John Calipari launched a not-very-subtle slam at Louisville's Rick Pitino, saying that coaches know about scandalous behavior when it happens on campus. Louisville is stewing in a sex scandal related to prostitutes brought into its basketball dorm. The NCAA is expected to make its final ruling soon. Calipari's notorious vacated Final Fours at UMass and Memphis were rooted in off-campus misdeeds by players. After Calipari's radio rant last week with Mike Lupica, Pitino returned fire this week on my radio show. AUDIO: Pitino also commented on Governor Matt Bevin's dismissal
Slime Time punishes current Cardinals…or will it?
Will these Louisville Cardinals play in the post-season after all? Will a judge issue an injunction based on breach of recruiting claims made to innocent athletes, thus overturning UofL's post-season ban? This would shift the national conversation about UofL from prostitution to students' rights. Will Rick Pitino forgo his $7.5 million retention bonuses as a show of good faith to self-punish for lack of program control? Will the university pay out, as Pitino suggested, $10 to $15 million in fines to take the punishment off the players? Will the money go to children's charities instead of an already cash-stuffed NCAA? How about scholarship money for impoverished students? Did President Ramsey say that he made the decision to
Pitino talks about the ongoing sex scandal at UofL
University of Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino broke his silence on the sex scandal involving recruits and prostitutes meeting in the school dorm named after his late brother-in-law. He's angry about media coverage given to an author whose storyline has been shown to have credibility issues. Pitino also says that "one person" (former assistant Andre McGee) probably did arrange some trysts and the head coach is baffled by the violations. WDRB columnist Rick Bozich defended his previous columns that Pitino referenced above. Here is part two with Pitino. January 1, 2016 Two months ago after Rick Pitino appeared in a tense interview on my radio show, I appeared on ESPN's Outside the Lines in defense of Pitino, saying
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
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
