"Durrrrr the refs screwed us by giving us too many free throws and fouling out our opponents. Somebody teach me how to use a spoon." - meth head StevieJ

The real question is why are you STILL posing as a UK fan ? Low post count, made your account during UK's four game losing streak, trolling, etc...all of the signs. #copyandpastedagain #youareonesadandpatheticlittleman

Deadspin....is that some amalgam of modern sports journalism?
As in real journalism is DEAD and every single article written these days has some agenda driven SPIN behind it.
Maybe the guy they referenced in their article is crazy, maybe not. But, I certainly don't hold so-called sports journalists in any high regard. Hell, any idiot can call themselves a sports journalist nowadays. Don't even need a piece of paper.

I wouldn't worry about it. Deadspin is completely irrelevant nowadays and will do just about anything for clicks. I'd be surprised if the website survives another year.

Umm, just one problem with this position:

https://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/deadspin.com/

This ain't just some random idiot calling himself a sportsjournalists starting a website. Instead, it's one of the most widely-read, monetarily-valuable and succesful sports-related websites in the world.

Not sure how that valuation is done or how accurate it is but I can tell you Deadspin has been completely left in the dust by sites like Barstool. Their live streams get like 200 viewers, it's actually almost sad to see. Factor in their parent company's financial troubles dating back to the Hulk Hogan case and hard to see them hanging on much longer. The content is terrible and the readership is dwindling by the day. I'd put money on the site being offline within a year.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our questions. It seems that this conspiracy involves more than we initially thought. To be clear, your claim involves referees, the NCAA President, ESPN, Chris Webber, Clark Kellogg, and from what I can gather here some UK fans.

Our expose is in its beginning stages. We just had no idea of the sheer number of people that are conspiring to keep Kentucky from winning basketball games and the lengths that they will go to.

My colleagues have a few more questions that may help them as they attempt to unravel this mystery:

Where do the, I guess you would call them, anti-Kentucky meetings take place?

Do all members of the conspiracy attend all meetings?

Which member do you think came up with the free throw disparity attack?

Thanks again. We'll be in touch.

Not at all. We find the conspiracy concept fascinating. This could be just the tip of the iceberg and you are the one who started it all.

While we're at it, guys..let's talk about Knox's bogus charge call that wiped out a three point play and resulted in a SEVEN point swing after Coach Cal got a bogus T that very rarely ever gets called in games..on any Coach..or Diallo's phantom over the back that was called a foul that practically gave KSU two free points and the lead.

I’d really like your opinion on aliens. Could this have been aliens?

Cory Gardner faked high school football career. Nice job.

Are you saying Webber showed no bias?

You do understand people have bias?

As journalists we strive, as much as possible, to keep our personal feelings out of a story like this. That's why we are relying on you to provide the facts that will help us to uncover the evidence of the anti-Kentucky basketball conspiracy. Any further information that you can provide will be most helpful.

Listen to the tape. Not my job.

If you don't hear bias, fine. I do.

You know what the funny thing is ? I have not once said that the officiating/refs was/were the reason we lost..not once. I've just mentioned how garbage and suspect it was. Just a bunch of trolls/rival fans/posers, Deadspin, moronic Deadspin readers and commenters, agenda driven UK fans, etc...spun it around. Not my fault or problem.

We strive for a mix of sports journalism and popular culture opinion pieces. In this case, you have introduced us to something we take very seriously--the integrity of officiating. If game officials, in concert with NCAA institutions and celebrities, have created a cabal with the sole purpose of causing UK to lose games, that's something that is in desperate need of reporting. Help us to help you.

Chris Webber is not an official. He is an analyst that was seemingly one sided. Try to keep up.

I've not noticed it from Webber nearly as much Kenny Smith. Smith is terrible about it. Been the same story every year since he started doing the tournament--never has anything good to say about UK, and never passes up an opportunity to take nasty little shots at Calipari and UK.

UNC Kenny is SO blatant about it, he doesn't even try to hide his anti-UK bias.

Interesting take. Would you please elaborate on how this has an effect on the games on the floor? I'm not seeing the correlation.

“This is wonderful: a forum thread on a Rupp Rafters, a Rivals.com page dedicated to Kentucky basketball, has produced a conspiracy theory that positions the Wildcats as the victims of a plot to undermine their success by granting them too many free throws in their Sweet 16 loss to 9-seed Kansas State ...”

Most stupid threat of 2018 by the most stupid poster. How can you call yourself a UK fan.

Sorry, but you're dropping that bait in front of the wrong fish here. This one's smart enough to see what you're trying to do.

I completely understand, and thank you for your input. The staff understands and empathizes with each and every one of your complaints, we are, however, still searching for actual evidence to validate them.

Holy **** !! I actually agree with you on something. Great post. Now, I'll get back to "smoking crack" and "smoking meth" and "melting my brain away" or "snorting coke" or whatever it is you and your troll/poser buddy (Hopefully you know he is now) were accussing me of and saying to me yesterday and today. Lol Jk jk..but you guys were saying that **** and I just got a kick out of it. :joy:

That's not my "buddy." And I've never accused you of doing those things.

I mocked your theory because I thought it was stupid. Period. And I agreed with some posters who also thought it stupid. But that doesn't mean I agree with them on other things. And none of that has anything to do with what I think of any of you personally.

Good to know, man. Another good post. Thanks for being respectful this time. If a person is respectful toward me, then I'll be respectful toward them..and the opposite. That's just the type of person I am. Again, thanks.

Lol at your avatar. Henry Earl aka James Brown, used to come by the bar I worked the door at in Lex. The Bottom line, which became the Wrocklege. I'd let him in once and a while. He never bothered anyone. I wonder if he's still alive?
He is. Going for arrest 2000
