One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment, perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is, that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions, but every situation is different. Race change, market shift, and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally.

That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contact stock the mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions. That's what it's all about. Get into the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at Stockton Mortgage focus on helping people and understand their options.

Whether you're ready to buy now, later, or just starting to ask questions. There's no pressure to make a decision, just a chance to get real information and a clear picture of what's possible.

I wonder, I wonder where the good place to eat here for lunch. I come here often. Do you really? There's a place up here called Cafe Patachew. It's one of my favorite places in town.

Really? Yeah, probably go. If I tell them I know you, it's, am I good? They would have no idea who you're talking about. Well, I won't do that then. 859-280-2287. Let's go over a couple stuff here. First of all, The NFL, I don't know if you saw this, but there have been a lot of pictures recently of players. At the end of practice, they've been sitting with their girlfriends out on the practice field, holding hands and making out. They had Justin Herbert and Madison Beer, who I guess is a person, and there were like three or four other people, quarterbacks in their girlfriends making out.

And people were like, this feels like a lot of people doing it. Then it turns out the NFL paid the players to make out with their girlfriends after practice so that they could try to appeal to women to say, look, our players are romantic. They make out with their girlfriends after practice. No word on how much money was given, but this was going to be my question for you. We have this remote here at Alumni Hall. I was going to ask you, let's put yourself in your dating days, not your. married days, how much would I have to pay you? What is the minimum amount I could pay you that

you would sit right there during the two hours of the show holding hands, staring at your girlfriend and making out during a KSR show? Well, I'd do it for free. I was going to say a dollar. I was about saying at Billy's wedding. I saw that happen. But anyway, now that you see it. I mean, if you want to. I'm not getting no details. You put a dollar amount on it. I would say $100. $100.

$100 for you to do that? That's it? Well, it depends on how much you're offering. If you're saying, like, I get to say the amount, and $100,000. But would you want, I mean, like, let's assume you're these quarterbacks. The whole world is going to sit there watching you, and it's not just like they're like being lovey-dovey.

They're like playing with each other's hair, and it's really gross. And, like, are you going to be fine with that? Yeah. I mean, you're getting paid. extra. I mean, how hard is that? You do it at home and you go home anyway. All right, Drew. I'm glad that the NFL is trying to appeal to more women and kids are doing a good job with that. Also, don't mind people make it out. I've even encouraged it at Central Park on a bench. When you have encouraged. But when you're in camp.

See, that's what I'm saying. Like, I need you focused on camp. Like, I'm not trying to be the hard at all. I need my quarterback to be tough. But like, you are there to practice football. You can make out when you get home. That's the way I see it. How about you? Yeah, happening on the practice field makes it a little odd. I mean, here in front of you guys, I'd do it for 25 cents. I don't know. It doesn't matter to me.

It would be gross. But to do it on a practice field seems a little, awkward, little out of place. So they probably had to pay quite a bit for these guys to kind of go ahead and do that. I mean, they're not stopping practice, right? They're not cutting into practice to do this. It's after practice, right? See, you guys are, I guess, much freer about wanting videos of you making that. Like, I would not.

First of all, I wouldn't want, like, my teammates watching me doing it. That would make me feel awkward because you know they're going to give him a hard time. Oh, in the locker room, they're going to give him a hard time. They're going to give him a hard time because he's out there being, you're smoochie, no, you're smoochie. I'd say it sounds like jealousy to me, pal. It's not jealousy. I'm just saying. So if you said to me, like honestly, if you said to me, Matt, we're going to do a remote,

and you just have to sit over there for two hours and be lovy-dovey with your girlfriend with all these people watching. I'm not sure there's an amount of money that's going to make me do that. Everybody's got a price. Thank you million dollar man. It's going to have to be a high amount of money because that would be like really embarrassing. I can't think the NFL think that's the way to attract female viewers. Let's have our board. Well, it worked.

It went viral. See, that's my takeaway. But it worked. Like all of a sudden everybody was like, oh, how sweet. It actually, Drew, I think it really worked. I think it was a marketing campaign that was because I saw those pictures everywhere, didn't you? Especially the Herbert and Matt Sabirwin and Joe Burrow with his girl. friend. I think that was the first time they'd kind of gone public.

Yeah. I'm just, if I'm on the team, I'm like, can we, can we look at the playbook or something? Maybe let's run? I don't know, but I don't need to see you making out at the 50 during camp. Alabama and Tennessee announced that this year and the next two years when they play each other, instead of wearing home whites for one team and the colored jersey for the team, both teams are going to wear their colored jerseys when they play. So Alabama will wear red. Tennessee will wear orange, and they want it to be red versus orange, or orange versus, yeah, red. So here's my question.

Kentucky and Louisville, wouldn't you like to see us when we play red versus blue every time instead of one of the teams wearing white? My vote is yes. I would 100% vote yes. I love that idea. I wish they would do that. Hopefully maybe they will now that Tennessee and Alabama decide to do something like that. Definitely. You know, it's been alleged that Louisville's want to do this for a while, and our end was the one.

that was pushing back, but that guy doesn't work here anymore. So maybe Jay Bat and Will Stein can revisit that conversation because women's basketball did it last year, and it looked awesome. I think volleyball's done it. If we had football and basketball doing that every year, I think that would be great. I don't know why. I mean, with the exception of maybe Penn State, I can't think of any team that looks better in their home whites.

Like, especially in basketball. Now, sometimes a football jersey can look clean when it's white, But in my view, where the colors? Now, if the two teams have the same colors, I understand that you can't do that. But when you have red versus blue, that's such an outstanding, like, contrast, and I think you wear your best jersey, I would love to see it. I wish all Kentucky Louisville games are red. You're right, I forgot the women's game was like that.

And it was very, very cool. Yeah, I'm all for it. I surprised it hasn't already happened. And, you know, as long as it's contrasting colors, like you said, it's fine. Now, if it's Alabama, South Carolina, that would be terrible. Might not be able to do it. Kentucky and Louisville, absolutely. They should do that. Even Alabama, Tennessee, if you're kind of colorblind, those will look close to some people.

I'm a little surprised that even got to... If you're colorblind? Yeah, I could, like, our guy Freddie, you know, he has struggles with colors. I could see someone struggling with the red and orange on TV. Not everyone. So, I mean, if they can do it, red and blue, anything with some big contrast, should be an easy decision. Well, I would love for them to do that.

I'm hoping, especially in football, I mean, would you all be for Will Stein doing at Kentucky what they did at Oregon where every single time they played they had a different uniform and all that. Would you all be for that for football? Yes. We're Kentucky football. We need to do some things to make us kind of cool and get people talking about it. I think that would do it. I think I'm good losing the chrome. Oh, I love the chrome. You like the chrome? See, I like the chrome helmets look good. I don't really necessarily like when they wear the chrome jerseys. The anthracite is what they call. But I think those, I think the anthra, the chrome helmets look good. We have to get better. We never win when we wear them. That's the only problem.

I even want throwbacks in basketball. It was crazy to me that they brought the denim out, beat Tennessee and Rupp, had that awesome Saturday, and then never wore them again. Didn't wear them again. Basketball has so much tradition and so many looks. I think it's crazy that they've been leaving all these uniforms in the closet, all these years. Me personally, I like our blue uniforms better than I do. Our white uniforms.

I've always said this is a better uniform, the one you're wearing, than the white. I've always thought that, too. So to me, I love doing the color thing. I hope Tennessee, Alabama spurs more teams to do that. Who's next? Grant is up next. Grant. Go ahead, Grant.

Good morning. I just had two quick things. First thing, the other day they were talking about fantasy football. And I thought of one question I wanted to share this way. I can't hear you, my man. You're going to have to talk into the phone, and if you're going to talk about fantasy football, it's going to have to be really good. Okay, I'm sorry, I fixed that.

Can you hear me now? Yes. Okay. Okay. So they made him do a television puzzle of a picture of baked beans, and he lost him in a room, so he finished it. The only thing he was glad to eat for his phone. I can't hear you, my man.

I appreciate the call. We had the JT's phone. You must be, like, talking into a tornado. We picked our Cover Zero Fantasy Football League, had over 200 applicants. Drew selected, along with a couple of Billy and Paul. That was all, Billy. He selected 10.

What was the criteria? That was your all's assignment. What did you use? Well, Billy and Paul did it all. I know he eliminated a kid, and she called. Oh, you didn't hear that call. She called. Evelyn.

Evelyn. She called up. Evelyn. Oh, wait a minute. You didn't have the 13-year-old. And then she called in. She blistered Billy. Yeah.

Yeah. I think she said, Billy, you're the worst. She did. Yeah, that was what she said. Well, Billy, back me up. I said I was fine with kids I said as long as we had one girl and one boy

and you said no kids oh Evelyn gave it to him yes she did well Evelyn deserves it but we're going to have that draft next Sunday we're going to do it with just 10 fans and us are you excited about that I am there was one person that Billy picked what was it

20 something people sent in a letter of recommendation for him like he had his whole family right in so I know that was one trip That's a really good way to do. And there's a guy coming from Dallas, too, right? A former college football player. That's pretty impressive. Somebody coming from Dallas to do it.

So we're doing that on Sunday. I'm disappointed. I thought a 13-year-old kid wanting to do it, I thought that would be cool, but Billy is so anti-children that we ended up with that. Evelyn, let's put her name on it. You can do an expansion, though, next year and expand it and have a couple of teens. I think Billy was just afraid to lose to a 13-year-old.

That's why I think he eliminated her. I think that's exactly right. Who's next? Brady is next. Brady, go ahead, Brady. Hey, Matt. Have you been in Flamingesburg in the roundabout at the courthouse? Not recently.

No, I mean, I know what roundabouts are, but I don't know that one. It's backwards. I work at the courthouse there, and every day when I cross the crosswalk, I look both ways. What do you mean it's backwards? What do you mean? Okay, so like when you're coming, you yield. inside the circle. Oh, yeah, that is backwards.

I'm supposed to yield before you get in the circle. Yeah. If you're in it, you own it. It's not as many reg. Oh, okay. So when you're in the circle, you're supposed to stop, but when you're pulling in, you have the right, yeah, that's a terrible system.

Why do they do that? It's never been explained to me. It never had. But today, when I was crossing the crosswalk, I almost got hit by a lady with a Louisville license plate. And I was just going to let it go. Yeah. I was going to let it go, but then I was going down the hill, and she almost hit me head on at the bottom of the hill. So my question to you all is, have you all ever been in a traffic situation with a Louisville fan?

Yes, many times. I get into traffic controversies. I appreciate the call, and then sometimes they'll recognize you're the guy from KSR, and it usually makes them more angry at me in Louisville. That's happened a number of times. So yeah, I've done that. That seems really weird to me. Why would you, if you were Flemingsburg, intentionally make your roundabout not follow the rules of regular roundabouts? Wouldn't you be asking for accidents? You say intentionally, maybe they just didn't know how the roundabout works. That's true. They got it wrong.

That's what I fear. They didn't really know how to do it. You think no one in Flemingsburg knew how a roundabout about it. They're like, we're going to try to be a little European. You think Fleming County is so backwards that they don't have any idea. They decide to build a roundabout but have no idea how it works. I'm going to go with that. There's evidence of it.

Yeah, I'll try that. It's right there in front of me. Flemingburg does have the best Dairy Queen in the state, though. I'll give them that, but the roundabout needs more. That seems. It's kind of like I was on the air with Meyer the other day, and I was saying somebody was old, and he goes, you shouldn't say old. There's a better word.

And I was like, what are you supposed to say? And he said elderly. And I was like, elderly is much worse than that. old, isn't it? I feel like you saying Fleming County people are too dumb to understand roundabouts is worse. I don't think I said dumb. I just think maybe they did it wrong.

Okay. It's definitely worse, by the way. I picture someone hunched over. I agree with you. Tell me about stock to mortgage. I got a script I'm supposed to read. Well, get it ready. That's why I went to you. Just talk amongst yourselves. All right, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.

How about that weather in Cincinnati? Don't do that. Weather in Cincinnati. just wing it. How about those round about? All right, let's go. Don't they have them when you're supposed to? Go ahead. Stockton mortgage. They're all over the state. There's 14 of them in this area right here. But what do they do? Well, they can help you buy your

home. They can help you refinance your home. Well, you go on their website, stockton.com, you hit that button and they'll get a pay for a loan officer. There's a button right there. What does it say? You put your mouse on it to start here. You click that button. You'll pay you up with a loan officer. Then you tell them what you want. Are you looking to get pre-approved before a new home? But what do they

they even sell? Well, they sell mortgages. You help you refinance your mortgage. They help you use your equity, your house is built up.

wherever you get your podcasts. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers in Appalachia. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian,

of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need bad to rule. Great. And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bull-h-h-h-h-hue.

They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test to. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

All right, we have some breaking news. The federal court in Colorado that said fifth-year players were all eligible if they entered the portal. That case has the NCAA's motion for a stay on that decision was granted. So that means as of now, fifth-year players are not eligible. Unless they actually entered the portal before May 1st. So that means Seth Trimble at Louisville right now, not eligible. And for Kentucky's purposes, Alex Safari as of right now, would not be eligible to play at Kentucky. They will hear the appeal, but the fact the Tenth Circuit granted it means they think there's a likelihood the NCAA could win the appeal.

So this will be the first NCAA win in a long time. What does that mean? Well, basically it means for Mark Mitchell, the Kentucky case is the whole back, because there is now no eligibility based on the Colorado case. So there we go. Kentucky, the decision this afternoon will decide Mark Mitchell, and for Alex Safari, he didn't join that case in Kentucky. So I don't think at this moment Alex Safari will be eligible to play.

He obviously could do something, file a case himself or something. But as of right now, that's the decision. So that's a big deal. All these people that have just signed 50 years, I would think Jackson Pollard that just went to BYU, I would think is not now eligible under this. That's a lot of teams have taken a lot of guys thinking they were going to be able to play. Speaking just for Kentucky and Oxfari, I think Kentucky felt so confident it was going to pass. They invited him onto the practice field.

Yeah. I think they wouldn't have to start practicing. So what happens? Right now, I think as of today, Alex Safari cannot play. They could move him back to student assistant. Now, of course, this case is going to go to the Tenth Circuit. They'll make a decision on the merits. But my guess is, again, you never know,

but generally speaking, a court wouldn't grant a stay like this unless they thought there was a pretty good chance they were going to overturn that woman's decision. So I think now our whole focus has to be on what happens in this Kentucky, in this court in Louisville. So that's a little surprise to me. I mean, the NCAA's been losing every single decision, but they won this one, and so I think that's a pretty big deal.

It's too late to slide Alex Safari onto the sheet of paper in Louisville with Martin McHugh. Well, it would be nice because Alex Safari, it didn't look like he was going to need the Kentucky case. Now he would need the Kentucky case in order to be eligible. I know this. This is why the NCAA is ridiculous. Literally, you need to have taken civil procedure in law school to even have a clue what's going on as a sports fan, which is not what should be the case. The NCAA, they had a way out of this mess. They've decided not to. And now you have a situation where in 50 states, as of today, no one's eligible, except in the seven states where people have filed. So in seven states, fifth years are eligible. But in 43 states, they're not, which you know what that means? What's going to happen in those 43 states? Everybody's going to file a lawsuit. They're going to end up having 50 states with 50 different cases because of this.

That's what's going to happen. Are you surprised as I am that this happened? But you know who I think is still eligible? Denzel Aberdeen. Because he got in the portal. Because he did it before. I think Denzel Aberdeen, Shannon, is going to end up having been like the smartest dude in history.

And I have to ask, I've got to find out how Denzel Aberdeen knew to do this. Had to have some sort of insider tip. Or he's the smartest guy in college basketball, one of the other. I mean, Denzel Aberdeen, I think, again, maybe somebody will interpret it, because I haven't read the most. But I think Denzel Aberdeen is going to be like the only person that ends up. It snuck through. There's always a loophole, and he found it.

Absolutely crazy. Who's next? Judy is up next. Judy, go ahead, Judy. Hey, how are you all the day? Doing good. You all were talking about the derby glasses, and my friend Omar Pruitt, you mentioned Casper Realty yesterday. I talked to him last night, and they sold the 1940 glass for $39,000.

That's wild to me. So that was that the auction house that I mentioned? Yeah. So they sold a 1940 glass for 39,000. So it sounds like whoever buys that Glasgow glass is getting a steal. Yeah, exactly. And I've got one comment. Matt, I know you're a lawyer.

I don't understand how some of these players can be eligible from 22. And it's just state by state, I guess, or Kentucky rules. So, I mean, look, the argument, yeah, I appreciate the call. I understand that it's confusing. I mean, again, here's the basics of the argument these kids are making. The NCAA is starting next year allowing all players to get to play five years. And the basics of the argument these fifth years are making is, if you're doing that next year and people last year could play,

why are we the only class that doesn't get to play? basically like last year you could be a fifth year starting next year you can be a fifth year why is it we're the only class that doesn't get to play and the NCAA is required to give some explanation as to why that makes sense and seven state courts have said that doesn't work one federal court has said that doesn't work but then today this appellate court has put a stay on it and said, we're going to wait and we're going to think about it. So that's the, it's actually, I mean, the argument's just, hey, these guys before we got to play, these guys next year are going to get to play.

Why don't we get to play? And NCAA is saying, sorry, that's how the timeline fell. Yeah, they're basically saying. Rules changed and you were on the wrong side of it. Yeah, essentially what they're saying is, we never intended these guys the last few years to play. So they probably shouldn't have. so you shouldn't either. But starting next year, it's going to be different.

Which is really not a good argument, in my opinion, but it's the argument that they're making. So now, when is this decision going to come in Louisville? Is it coming this afternoon? Well, the judge said last Friday, he would have a decision by this Friday. So today is the day. But here's the thing. He can take, he can do it every once. Like, he could wait until next week.

There's no way to force him to make a decision. So he probably will make a decision today, but if he chooses not to. News always comes at noon since we're off the air. We'll probably get the... Courts love to give decisions at like 4.30 on a Friday and get the hell out. So I wouldn't surprise me

if it's like 4.30 this afternoon that we find out what happens. 859-28027. We are here at Alumni Hall in the summit. We'll take a break. Come back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. All right.

So some clarification. on Denzel Aberdeen. Aberdeen's got a different argument than the other guys. His argument was he was a fifth year red shirt because he got hurt his freshman year. When you get hurt, back in the old rules, you could get a red shirt with 10 games or less. He played 11 because he played one NIT game

because the rest of the Florida team quit. And so he was arguing he should get another year. So Aberdeen, Aberdeen, the NCAA, will have to make a special decision on him. It's not clear if he's eligible or not, to be honest. But the rest of these guys like Seth Trimble that went to Louisville, they are all not eligible.

Aberdeen will depend on whether or not they think that extra game should keep him out. So knowing that, when he entered the transfer portal, he knew it was a risk anyway if he had to get this appeal to get that extra year. Well, Aberdeen has never even filed a lawsuit. Aberdeen is just asking for a red shirt like any kid would, if they do over the years. If the rule was 10 and he played 11, I mean, that's an easy decision. But you might say if Florida would have had to forfeit that last game if he didn't play.

Maybe he should have not played. Just let him forfeit. Maybe so. Yeah, so again, simply put, all will come down to the Kentucky case and we'll see what happens. And by the way, starting next year, the whole concept of a red shirt is gone, by the way. Right. Starting next year, there are no more red shirts. You get five years.

You can sit a year out if you want. You can play all five years. But starting next year, no more red shirts. You have five years to play five. But if you're a good player, Drew, starting next year, you can play college basketball or football for five years. No questions asked. Make a lot of money.

I don't know if they've flipped it yet, but if you go to the UK football roster on their website, it would say red shirt. Sophomore, Richard Jr., now to say freshman through senior and then fifth year is the name for it. Fifth year will be the new thing. So we are going to have to learn fifth year as a name. But there are going to be guys like, I'm trying to think of an example of a guy.

Like Antonio Reeves is a guy who will play five years of college. There are guys out there who could play five years of college and leave college with $20 million. Like, I mean, that's not, that is not a crazy notion. If you are, Antonio might not be an example, but I'm trying to think, who's a high-level, recruit that might not be an Alex Poitris. If Alex Poitris played today, Ryan, he could have probably made $20 million in college. Yeah, you're talking he would have made a lot of money to start with his freshman, increase it for five years.

He's walking away a rich man when he leaves here. Yeah, if you make $20 million in college and you live a modest life, you'd be fine. You don't have to work. No, like there are going to be guys who will do that. Yeah, live off that. And then I think you're also going to see there's going to. there's going to like what year is Kenny Minchie? I never remember what people's years are.

A junior? Let's just say he's a junior. Okay. Kenny Minchie may whatever he is at the end of the year, it will make a perfectly smart decision for him to come back. If you're not a first round or second round NFL quarterback, you should come back. You will make more money in college than you will in the,

unless you're a first round quarterback, you will make more money in college than you will in the NFL. Yeah, if you go to the NFL, you make the practice squad, that's what, like $250, $250,000 a year? You're going to make a lot more than that if you come back to college and play another year. Well, a second rounder wouldn't make $250, but he still would make more in the pros. I mean, let's look at basketball. I'll go even further. In basketball, if the system says like it is now, you'll make more money in college than you will unless you're a lottery pick.

Like, unless you're a lottery pick, you should come back. Well, always a good example. he's going to be fighting for a spot in Oklahoma City where he'd make $4 or $5 million and do the big man on campus. Ultimately, that's good for the game of college sports, right? That's why I don't think it's bad. I think it's great for college sports.

I mean, again, he's not going to be able to do it. But imagine if Otega Oway was coming back this year. Like, how excited would people be for another year of Otego? We were begging for these guys to stick around for four years. Now we're getting that. And the money you spent on Alex Wilkins, you could have gone and spent on a big and you would have probably had the same or better team.

Well, Milan's like this right now. He'll have a decision to make at the end of this year. Yeah, right. Is Milan only a senior this year? Yeah. So, I mean, think about that. We could get two years of Milan. Because that's another guy that'll be fringe making a team next season in the NBA

or go be one of the best players in college basketball. I just think what's interesting is I used to, you guys know this. A lot of you all have listened to this show for a long time. How many calls did I get over the years of, Matt, I'm tired of one and done's. I want guys who will stay a long time. Well, we have a system now that's going to encourage guys to stay for a long time. And you're going to get to know players. And then if Congress passes the rule where you can only transfer once,

you're definitely going to get to no players, you know? And last thing I'll note, if they pass that rule that says you can only transfer once, what are players going to do? After you transfer, you're trapped at that school, right? You wouldn't be able to go anywhere else. So what are players going to do? If I'm a sophomore and I'm transferring, Shannon, you know what I'm going to say to the college? You've got to give me a three-year deal.

Yes. Because if I'm leaving and I can't go anywhere else, I don't want to be trapped and I can't go anywhere else. You've got to guarantee me three years. That's what's going to happen. You're locked in. It's amazing how much college sports has changed just over the last few years. It continues to evolve like that. And in recruiting, you can see a high school guy who's a lottery pick or I could be like, this guy in the portal,

I know I will get him for three years, might not have the same season. I get three years with this guy as opposed to just a few months. If they pass the only the one transfer, guys in the portal with eligibility of multiple years become worth a ton of money. Because not only do you have them, you have their rights to where they can't go anywhere else. You get a kid out of high school, they can still leave and be a free agent. But you get a kid out of the portal, it's either play for you or he's got to go to the pros. Those are his options. So I think you'll see dudes become.

When people go in the portal, they will be very valuable when they do that. Who's next? Carter is next. Carter. Go ahead, Carter. Yes, I just was going to say that there's obviously a lot of confusion and chaos here with all the different NCAA cases getting appealed. It seems like the NCAA is almost relying on that to try and get this legislation passed.

I think that's right. I think part of what the NCAA wants to do is create chaos and then go to the Senate and say, you got to pass a bill, it's chaos. But I think if that was going to work, to be honest with you, it would already work. I mean, I appreciate the call. They had a chance to pass a bill, and then the Senate didn't pass one. Shannon, what do you think about the dude in Louisville that went around the city shooting the flock cameras?

A lot of people think this guy's a hero, just going around and taking out every flock camera of the DECs. When he shoot 10 of them? It was a bunch. I don't know the exact number, but there was a lot of them. And ended up being arrested. Well, his mug shot, he looks like he's been on a bender. He shot 10 flock cameras, but if you read, like, Reddit,

people are treating him like he's Luigi Mangione in terms of, like, and he went around and he was just shooting, and he said, these cameras are a danger to society. I'm not hurting anybody. I'm only taking out the cameras. Yeah, but you still can't go around shooting property. I mean, you can't just because you don't like it. Like, you know, I don't like plot cameras, but you can't go around.

I agree with you. Yeah. We're not recommending it. Yes. but I understand push people far enough you know push people far enough they'll react

yeah like these the flight camera thing I thought there've been like four cities in Kentucky in the last three weeks to ban them and I have a lot of people right in me going Matt I understand it sounds bad but these help solve crimes

which is true but you know I've kind of split on I don't really like them in theory but then, you know, they are out there helping solve crimes, right? But let me give you a hypothetical. If every time anyone committed any violation, you put them in jail for life, you know what would happen? Everybody be in jail.

Crime would go down. Crime would go down. But that doesn't mean we should do that. If we had, if the police were allowed to put cameras in every person's house that streamed. dreamed all the time. You know what would happen? Crime would go down. But that doesn't mean you want that. So the question is, is this something you actually want? You could say going in a neighborhood and kicking down every door will help you solve a crime.

Without question. But you can't do that. So do you think these cameras should exist? Well, there's just ten of them. You said, did he shoot them all out or there were more than ten? You think there's only ten in the city a little bit? I don't have any idea. I don't know how many are in Lexington. He shot ten, but I mean, I'm sure there's thousands. This is just me. I think the pros outweigh the cons. Like you said, help crime, maybe a golden alert. You see somebody driving.

Maybe the camera might pick them up. What about the stories, though, of, like, there was a female cop recently in a city who found, who, like, just was searching her boyfriend's history of everywhere he went and used it to harass him, like, because she had access to it? Yeah, you can't be doing that. She needs to get in trouble. But people are doing it. But people clearly are doing it. You have to get caught? Get them, find them, fire them, whatever you got to do.

But I just think those cameras do more good than harm. Do you see them? Because, I mean, if they're out there, I don't, I don't think there's a sign. I'm almost certain there's probably one right here somewhere. I mean, I would think, I would assume, since we're in a commercial business area. Sure. Well, there's cameras here, but I don't know if it's a block. Well, those are for Shake Shack.

But I would bet you somewhere around here, there's one right here. There's certainly a ton on Nicholsville Road at the intersection and stuff. I'm just, you know, I've conceded at this point. If you go outside, you're going to be filmed on something. Somebody's ring doorbell camera or some sort of camera everywhere you go in public. Yeah. Well, I don't think I like it, but everybody can do their own thing. Draft Kings, you can bet $5.

Went up to $150 in bonus bets. Let's do Bears, Bingles, preseason game. My team and the local team. I know it's a preseason, but who you got? Bears are playing their starters for just one, one, one quarter. And, you know, the Bengals played their starters last game. They're going to play them a little more of this game, I understand. So with that knowledge, I'm going with the Bengals.

I'm going Bears, because your boy, Ben Johnson, that offense scored like 34 points playing the second string last week. Tyler Badgett and He's hurt, though. He's not playing. I'm saying they were still scoring a ton of points without playing their starters, so I will roll with the Bears back. I'm going with the Gary Indiana Bears. They will win. Don't be saying that.

I'm going to go Bears as well. Hammond? I think it's Hammond. I will say this. You see, Jagger Burton is starting for the Packers at right guard. Starting. Is he starting in the preseason or he's like actually going to start during the season? Both. He has won the starting job at the moment because I think the regular starter's hurt.

Jagger beat out everybody else. So he's starting now. Good for Jagger Burton. The Lexingtonian. That's great news. We'll take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Behind every night spent making the kids lunches, there's a lot of suspense.

On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.

I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip,

I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America. Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers in Appalachia. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site

of a social experiment. God need men to rule. Great. And decides to fight back. Do not use My hard work to sell your bull. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test tube. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to Our Town on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live.

You wanted to tell people in Lexington about a big event tonight. Big high school football game tonight.

Frederick Douglas hosting Fort Thomas Highlands. Fort Thomas Highland's best player is Taden Lorenzen. Son of Jared Lorenzen. He plays tied-in, plays quarterback, plays running back. Last year he scored the game-winning touchdown to beat Douglas. He just committed to Miami of Ohio. Great opportunity to go watch a great football game. Watch a great kid play tonight at Frederick Douglass.

So Jared's kids play at Frederick Douglass. And high school football season starting all over the state. Drew, excited. One person wrote in a minute ago and goes, tell Drew that Madisonville and Hopkins County are just the low-budget version of Hopkinsville and Christian County. Wow. I mean, we have the better Elbroseau, the better ferriles, the better people. They had to combine their schools because they're afraid of what's brewing in Madisonville.

they won't be able to keep up in sports. I like that you said that. Shannon, what do you think about Lenora Sellers, the quarterback at South Carolina? He was asked, he's the starting quarterback for South Carolina. He was asked, how you're going to balance in your fifth year here playing quarterback and getting a master's degree? Yeah. And he said, my only class this year is an internship at the driving range. No class.

So his class this year is he has an internship at the driving range. range where he said, and this is his quote, I drive the little cart and pick up the balls and I do weed eating around the place. Well, the student athlete is a term that is long gone, so we know that doesn't exist anymore. That's the same job that Billy had, though. He got fired from that job, so I know just from hearing that, that's a tough job. You can't drive that thing into the lake. Wasn't it you that really wanted the job of driving the little thing where people could hit

golf balls into you? One of my retirement jobs is going to be working at a golf course. The driving range is a ranger. That's a great. Walmart greeter. Walmart greeter. Yeah, you've got a lot of options in your retirement. At the golf course, though, you're outside all day.

I'm in a glorious job that would be. I, by the way, had someone at a golf course that's trying to get me to join, send me and say that if I joined, they would let you do that. That's my summer job, and then the winter I'll be a greeter at Walmart. Perfect retirement jobs for me. There's a Walmart nearby. What a gig, though. I mean, you get credit hours for that, too, to work there.

Yeah, it's called sports. It's for his sports management degree. he's learning how to manage a driving range. Actually, I noticed it. Didn't even say management? He is graduating with a degree in sports and entertainment. They didn't even use the word management. I thought you at least had to add another real word.

Just sports. You can get a degree in sports. I don't believe that he's out there shagging balls. In fact, I don't either. He's not weed eating during the season. Your star player that plays quarterback on Saturday. You cannot have him operating a weed eater. And if he cuts his leg, you cannot do that.

Who's next? is next. Mark, go ahead, Mark. Mark, turn your volume down. He'll be with us in about 10 seconds. All right, thank you, Mark. Who's next? The truth is next. Oh, wow, truth. How are you, truth? I'm calling you, man. I got a bonus to pick with you.

You got a question, man. Go for it. Hey, I want to know about your new head coach. What do you want to know about him? His name is Will Stein. I want to throw this out since the SEC, how he don't get in Indiana football. Ask Will Howard. He played just Indiana twice.

Wait, hang on. Will Stein, not Will Hahn, Will Stein. Will Stein. whatever name is. Indiana blowed him out twice. We blowed Alabama out. And then I want to tell you, Indiana football teams going to win the national championship.

They got to ask the team. You think they're going to win it again? That's impressive. I mean, I'd like to be able to talk trash to you. But the fact that Indiana won the national championship in football might be one of the most impressive things to ever happen in college sports. So there's really not much I can say. I did not only that, man

You better get played A basketball team I'm not worried about Indian basketball They're going to always stay Yeah you better be You better be aware of it When's the last time you won something

In basketball truth You haven't won a game that mattered In 35 years Hey man But here's the thing I got on you Little got a half the trophy winning

Indiana got a Yeah Indiana got a half stuff But we've got a massive championship in football. I understand. Well, that doesn't have anything to do with basketball. I appreciate the call. Truths like all those Indiana fans didn't give Jack Squat about football until this past year.

Now they're all over the place. I can't talk trash, though, Drew. I would give anything to have the season in football that Indiana have. It would be in the last two years to go from a guy who comes up and says, Google me, and then actually backs it up, wins the national championship. I mean, I don't know that you, what are you going to say? That's one of the more amazing things. I think it's the most amazing accomplishment ever in college sports.

Yeah, I don't have much trash talk to say with Indiana. It's remarkable what they did. I wouldn't bet on them, bet against them doing it again this year. It's what we strive to be with UK football. So he can talk all he wants to talk on that sport. Let's do our final predictions. Does Mark Mitchell get ruled eligible today by court in Kentucky? I feel good.

The Colorado decision went the other way. I feel yes in Louisville today. I'll say yes I don't know that what happened would impact it this morning but maybe that affects the judge a little bit but I'll still say it's a positive I'm surprised by the ruling earlier today

but I'm going to say yes he is eligible I'm going to say yes I mean look seven states seven judges across the country district judges have ruled for the plaintiffs if you're going to go against them you're essentially going against all precedent in a state you're going to look at your two

sports teams in your state and you're going to say, y'all don't get players and every other state may. I just don't see a judge who's up for elected office deciding to do that. Maybe he does, but I just think that's unlikely. And the SEC can't fight it. We'll fight through it. That's right.

Thank you guys very much here at Alumni Hall. We appreciate it. I'm on Matt Myron this afternoon on ESPN Radio. Otherwise, we'll be back on Monday.
