UofL severs ties with final two shoe scandal connections
The University of Louisville threw a little more water onto its dumpster fire of scandals by releasing student-athlete Brian Bowen and assistant basketball coach Kenny Johnson today. Bowen's scholarship to attend UofL remains valid but he was told he will never play basketball for the Cardinals after the FBI revealed secret meetings about shoe company money being funneled to his family. Johnson was terminated likely as another illustration by the school to the NCAA that it was cleaning house of the entire Rick Pitino leadership team, save for new acting head basketball coach David Padgett and a few support staffers. Rick Pitino tells me he is completely finished with coaching although he told ESPN earlier this week that (when he is proven innocent

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin joined me on 840WHAS for a wide-ranging interview on: expanded gambling to bolster pensions, sexual harassment among Kentucky legislators, being alone with a woman, was his UofL board of trustees correct in firing Tom Jurich, a potential LouCity FC stadium, Kentucky outpacing Indiana, tax perks, imbibing, and would he consider being a running mate to Mike Pence in 2020.
Jennifer Lawrence never forgets her hometown buddies
Jennifer Lawrence did one of her first radio interviews with me in 2009 for the release of the film The Burning Plain. She returned the next year for a chat about Winter's Bone, which would earn Jen her first Academy Award nomination. The first time we met, I walked into the WHAS radio studio and Jennifer said "Dude, I'm starstruck. I've seen you on TV my whole life!" She refers to me as her "first celebrity" friend. Last week on WDJX radio, she popped into an interview with singers Linkin Bridge as they prepared to go on Jimmy Kimmel Live, hosted by Jennifer Lawrence. Thanks for the shoutout, Jen. It gave me a hearty laugh. You rock!
Back on ESPN describing local reaction to Jurich firing
Got invited back on Outside the Lines. Once again, I appreciate getting to represent the city of Louisville on these ESPN updates on UofL's meltdown. This time the matter at hand was Tom Jurich's reaction to the scathing termination letter sent by Dr. Greg Postel. Per usual, I was marginally lucid. Dude, I'm trying to cram a lot into a tight space.
