    Local media should accept freelance "assignment" from a national outlet and show up to practice.

  4. Indiana as a state doesn't have much success in football?

    This guy wonders why he had to get on a plane to make media appearances. http://www.knuterockne.com/

    Football is much bigger in Idaho and Hawaii than basketball. Agree with New Mexico. I cannot take a stand on Wyoming since there are no people in the state to root for any sport.

    Then the Courier-Journal writers should scrap the scrimmages and write gamers on the players' noted Call of Duty battle royales:

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Teddy Bridgewater killed 36 German soldiers and 14 Italians on Tuesday night during an epic Call of Duty shootout in his dorm room.

    Awful is way too kind.

    Nothing peaks media interest into a situation more than being denied access to it.

    I wonder if dipshit fanboi enjoyed the TV show Twin Piques.

    I was banned from covering a certain HS when I was corresponding for local paper. Mostly due to the fact my grandfather outed his ass about renting a trailer that sat on school property and the coach's ability to spend a lot more money than the booster club had on football equipment.

    Instead of taking the back seat, I started corresponding for all the opposing team's newspapers and still interviewed him after the games. SE at the shop in town told him, "Hey, I didn't assign him that game. Podunk Weekly did."

    Louisville football sucks. Kentucky football sucks.

    Louisville basketball was in the Final Four. Kentucky won the basketball national title.

    Why would anyone in that state give a shit about being banned from football practice?

    Because readers, by and large, are idiots. Especially the ones that have been blasting the CJ the last few days over this shit.
