I actually thought Dakich was a great color guy. Wouldn’t mind reading the article tbh, but I don’t plan on subscribing to the Indy star

Went to Annapolis this weekend with the wife to meet some old friends. Great town, good crab and seafood. Overall a real cool town and easy visit. Lots of drinks and gummies, which apparently are all the rage right now. Pretty sure everyone in our group of 8 had them - amazing how popular those have become. Also makes coordinating people and a large dinner comically impossible.

-dolye and dakich...like every other talking head/columnist *love* the smell of their own feces. Doyle** is a **** and dakich* is a world class piece of ****. No news here.

*his analysis is very good...appears it can't outshine the loudmouth dumbassary and boorish behavior.

**just another sanctimonious journo.

Speaking of sanctimonious journalists, anyone else like to read the newspaper?

The Enquirer is a zombie paper. I’m not sure if they even employ any actual reporters anymore, just interns that replicate press releases and then post them under “breaking news.” Doc retiring might kill it for good.

The HL seems to be in relatively decent shape. I’ve noticed them publishing some good enterprise pieces lately, particularly those with an EKY focus. CJ seems like it has an actual newsroom at least, but still has suffered the same fate as the Enquirer courtesy of Mother Gannett.

To make up for the void of having an actual newspaper to read, I have found the Washington Post to be a really solid subscription. Their editorial board makes a point to accommodate right of center opinion columnists, which is rare, but it’s good for the public debate, and maybe some of you neocon ******** could even try reading?

Also read the NYT every day. It’s a great paper, but the ultra leftist **** gets old on the opinion page. I’ve always been a tad left of center, but the pronoun people are my breaking point.

I also prefer WLWT for Cincinnati broadcast news. Allison Rogers is pure sex on the weekend meteorology rodeo.

Im really high and on vacation, so no idea if any of that made any sense. Peace to you and yours.

Same. When they actually do journalism, it is incredible. And then there's a bunch of pinko idiocy from Charles Blow and Paul Krugman, etc that appears to be designed to intentionally irritate the piss out of people like the print version of Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless.

I'll be glad when intentionally irritating your audience as a business model finally goes the way of the dodo -- which will probably be after we've all uploaded our brains into the neural net and are just digital ghosts floating in a metaverse ether.

Jeff Bezos already owns my soul. Might as well just let go.

Who owns yours? You don’t.

Concerning Ryan Lemond running the bases: Did the LL overreact? Probably. Did Ryan commit a crime? I sure would think so. Access to the field was locked, and he circumvented it. I see both sides, but to act like they were within their rights to hop a fence to gain access to the field is just silly. How is that not misdemeanor trespassing?

Doyle is great, even when I don't agree...and always wondered why he left a national outlet like CBS to take a traditional journalism job with a dying newspaper industry...

That article sheds some light on why.

With work, I have to read basically every national paper everyday, read them online...but LOVE grabbing a paper off the front desk when I'm staying at a hotel and reading it over some ****** continental breakfast.

Bill Maher has a good story about that...

"When I'd play Columbia, SC, I'd go to the hotel gift shop and get a New York Times every day. Always got the last one.

I told the lady, 'I must be the luckiest guy in the world. Every time I'm here I get the last NYT.'

Front desk, 'We only get the one. You get it every time.'"

Concerning Ryan Lemond...
... you can't make me care about anything that goober ever does. When he drops the doofus schtick, he seems like a helluva dude who married very, very poorly but I just cannot tolerate his media persona.

* I'm pumped to watch some Bahamas games. Calipari has handled this summer about as well as possible given the circumstances. You can feel him getting his mojo back in real time.

International trips are almost always an omen that a special season is coming. Oscar has a shot to be the most beloved wildcat since Mashburn. We've got a squad of likable veterans and a couple of pipe hitting frosh (that word is ripe for a comeback, imo). Our roster actually makes sense for once in a decade and (assuming Fredrick is healthy and Reeves keeps up his percentage from ISU) we should be able to put multiple shooters on the floor almost all the time. Laissez les bons temps rouler, imo.

* The NY Times is a fascinating beast. It is simultaneously clearly a propaganda agent of some powerful force that skews legitimate stories with editorial nonsense to meet narratives, a collection of editorials from smart people saying preposterous things while trying to keep a straight face, and (on occasion) the best newspaper the world has ever seen.

For instance, the NY Times recently ran an article on Ray Epps that is borderline hagiography, contained shockingly few facts, and basically concluded with "nothing to see here, folks!" That dude gives every indication of him being a federal intelligence agent who was doing things in advance of January 6 that invite close scrutiny. That sort of stuff makes the NY Times appear to be working on behalf of the government to sell a narrative rather than acting as the independent paper of record. For context:

Megan plays for the other team.

Hank, agree on NYT. Read awhile back that State Dept, CIA, etc., are each aligned with a different media outlet. So, when CNN has a certain story, you know it came from the CIA, NYT, you know it came from State. So, Epps story makes more sense.

As Tommy is now part of the machine, maybe he can confirm.

Oh yes, the Times needs to do a better job of dispelling the thousands of insane conspiracy theories permeating through the heads of morons like Hank. Could just be a high-falutin Snopes. Dive deeper into the mania!

On a thread full of knowitall blowhards, Hank is far and away the most obnoxious. Every time I unhide this idiot I regret it.

I’m in the Nashville local televised news market. I hate to jump to assumptions, but many of the female meteorologist wear pant suits. I’m really not trying to be stereotypical/close minded here, but they “look the part.”

With the information above, it makes me wonder if meteorology is some sort of safe harbor for that lifestyle. It could also be coincidental, I don’t know.

-NYT and WSJ for my news sources. Haven't ever watched cable or local news. I thought Leonhardt was pretty fair through most of the 2nd year of Rona. After that I trust Chief and UKO to fill me in.

-Monday drive to Louisville in the rain and quick turn around back zapped me. Was in bed asleep by 8:30p. At this point I'm confident I could make that trek with my eyes closed. Pain in the *** now but will be nice once it's all 3 lanes like 75 to Cincy.

-Clark, you're probably getting the upper tiers of kids, ones that mostly have parents who give a ****, imagine the ones that didn't have any support. Wonder what they're up to? Hopefully they picked up welding.

-Someone send me that article. I'm not paying for the Indy effing Star. Dakich is a sad person, nothing redeemable. His stupid arrogant voice drove me nuts.

-College football just needs to drop conferences and be done with it all. Grab the P5 schools and super league. Save 1 playoff spot for non P5. They won't.

-Liv Golf is becoming a serious issue. Feherty and Smith this week. Gonna be Rory, JT and Tiger playing the John Deere alone.

-The Boys Season 3 was fantastic. That show is something else. Terminal List is really good, only a few episodes in. The new Bill Burr was just alright. He had some great bits but his whinny mocking voice gets to be too much.

-Feel like a bunch of really lazy people are just casually still using "supply chain/covid" issues to justify a real downgrade in the quality of service. "Mother f*cker, you can't refill the receipt paper in the gas pump because you're f*cking lazy, not because of the supply chain." Everything is just like 20% shittier than before we decided to shut down the world.

-Brits should reconsider their reluctance to use air conditioners and ice. 104 today. That's bloody hot.

Is there any science behind Wednesday being the most extreme weather day nearly every week? It's uncanny.

For the past few years it's been weekends for hot/cold extreme weather. Like clock work. Big fan of the mid week change as we're fully staffed then.

Upper-tier can be misleading as far as being able to survive and figure things out on your own. We constantly boast about how much more intelligent each freshman class is, which may be true scholastically. But the reality is it seems increasingly difficult for each incoming class to function on their own. I think there is a line to acknowledge for parents between caring/supporting and helping their child- and just holding their hand through every decision, double checking every school assignment, and minimizing any independence they have.

It's ok for a kid to not be perfect. Its fine for them to struggle a bit to make their own decisions. I only speak anecdotally from my own experiences- but all of these "best of the best" incredibly intelligent and talented students, are often so robotic they can't manage when there is a bit of a fork in the road.

When it's too hot that you can't enjoy a cigar or beer, just focusing on lots of water and the club not slipping out of your hands, makes for a grinding, unenjoyable evening of golf...Still better than going home straight after work tho..

Yeah, the guy in military fatigues and dozens of videos instigating a riot gets a pass, granny with cancer gets a stint in prison. Seems legit to everybody but us tin foil hat wearers.

...or of late, 100+ degree indexes. It really pisses me off, b/c often the day before/after is ideal.
Speaking of golf, I was watching some of the Open this weekend with some buddies. The topic of toughest hole in Louisville/Southern Indiana came up. As you know I'm not a golfer, but these sorts of things interest me.

Some of the ones mentioned were 18 at Champions Point, 18 at Charlie Vetner and the first hole at Quail Chase, I think.

I was curious as to what you thought.

Hard to form an opinion when you only hear what you want, Mark.

Has zero to do with hearing "what you want".....you think the current dismal **** is all made up and that is what is preferred listening? Or do you prefer the NYT spin that it is still a trickle down effect from DJT?
