Lexington Herald-Leader buyouts

Yes.

 

Some of my favorite people in the business work there. Hope it works out.

 

You do realize I have to work with kysportswriter, right? Something's bound to get corrupted with that combo...

Anyhoo, when Fields or Tipton call and need something (roster, mug shot, phone number, whatever), we have never hesitated to help those guys out even though they are technically the competition. The LHL is still sold at quite a few places in the Elizabethtown metro area (aside: Yes, it is a metro area, dammit).

 

I will second that Tipton is a machine who does great work.

 

Well, that's a relief. Points for honesty, I suppose.

Disciples of Conrad Fink must surely remember now more than ever the phrase "rising tide of shareholder expectations." I confess I didn't fully grasp it at the time. I sure as hell do now.

 

central, you will pay for that.

 

Sticking up a bit for the hometown shop, but to say that Tipton "owns" the UK beat is a bit strong. The Courier-Journal has had a few fair folks on that beat over the years, as a glance at the alumni will show:

Scott Fowler, Pat Forde, Mark Woods, Mark Coomes, Rusty Hampton, Michael Smith and now Brett Dawson.

Can't think of one of them who was "owned."

But Tipton is great. He's relentless and deserves every bit of praise he gets.

 

Jerry Tipton isn't a TV star, but there has never been a more worthy USBWA Hall of Famer.
