This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

Welcome everyone in Kentucky Sports Radio. It is Tuesday, May the 21st. I am Matt Jones. I'm here in Louisville, Kentucky, along with Shannon the dude, Ryan and Drew. are in Lexington. You can give shout on the Clark's Pummit Shop phone line where we'll be right here making it happen. 859-2-802287. A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine is 772-744. And this edition is sponsored by the T.J. Smith law office, you call T.J. I'll make them pay. There's a lot going on. You know, usually this time of May, honestly, is kind of slow. Not a lot happening. But with the PGA last week and basketball and just random stuff, Ryan, it feels like I, I, I, I saw somebody yesterday. I went to the dentist.

And somebody at the dentist said to me, feels like it's gone nonstop since we lost, which, by the way, was two months ago. I mean, think about that. We lost Oakland now two months ago, Ryan. And here we are. And it has continued.

Really, the train has not stopped going since. You know, really, that's right. With Cal leaving, Pope coming in, the derby, all the stuff with the PGA, Scotty Sheffler. Recruiting? I mean, all the recruiting, Pope having. to build a team and all that. We forgot about spring practice, Drew. It's like we didn't even, it didn't even happen. Yeah, flew completely under the radar. It has been absolutely

nonstop since that game ended. And it doesn't seem to be slowing down that much anytime soon either. It doesn't. Now, today is a big day. Okay, we had the bracket contest at KS Bar. And Shannon, it was quite a success, thousands of entries. And we had one winner. His name is what, Ryan, Darren? Is that right? Darren from Hazard. Darren from Hazard, he won. And at 1130 today, Darren and his cohorts are going to come and host KSR. Shannon, you have from moment one of me announcing this said this is a terrible idea.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I'm going to stand by that. But I'm going to support the guys. I'll be pulling for you. And I hope that you brought a couple of extra maybe guest hosts. Maybe you're going to be taking a lot of phone calls, whatever you have to do. But otherwise, I think it's probably going to be. Now, Drew, Ryan, you all don't have that same kind of negativity, do you? First of all, you're there with them.

They are there in Lexington. How do they look? Do they look like they're ready to go? Well, you can go to Twitter. I tweeted a photo of them. They're here and Darren brought his own championship belt that says KSR on it with the little picture of Mark Pope on the belt. They seem like very outgoing guys. I have full confidence that they're going to put together a good segment or two. Oh, look, there they are. Drew just tweeted. them out. I'm going to retweet them. That looks like a group of guys to me, Ryan, ready to host a radio show. What do you think? This championship belt is as sharp and as fancy as any belt I've ever seen. I mean, it puts Shannon little. Oh, please. The radio title is a good point, Ryan. That is better than

the radio type. That's a made-up belt. Shannon's look like a widow bitty belt. I won my title. I didn't have that one just made in a factory somewhere. I actually won mine. Who did you beat for that, by the way? Like every radio personality. But I mean, didn't you create that title yourself, Ryan, I believe. It was presented to me by Adam Revolver. Do you not watch OVW TV? Yes, it was presented to you like 10 years ago, but you didn't win a match for it. Sure, I did.

I was like 10 and 0 to start off my career. And you wrestled what, Tony Venetti? Yeah, the Venetty. That's right. Hey, well, all right. Cruz, Terry Miners. He's all right. All right.

All right. Cutler and couldn't get him to sign the contract. Yeah, well, he'd talk, he'd talk you, talk you till you laid down and took the loss. Yeah. All right. So these guys are here and they will be at 1130. So here's what I ask the fans. Help them out.

Right, Ryan, call, maybe ask them questions. They have all the knowledge. They're from hazards. They're good 606 guys here. And I am looking forward to seeing what they do here at an hour and a half. Apparently, the only thing Darren is scared. of today is reading the Draft King's ad. That's what's going to make it happen.

All right. So I will do the other three ads. All he has to do is draft king. All he has to do is draft kings. All he has to do is draft king's ad. All right. I'll do red state barbecue cornbread and Pelican. Okay. All right. So, but he has to do draft kings.

And Shannon, he has to read the disclaimer. Slowly. Not slowly. But he has to read it. And he's got to do. That's what he has to do. As long as he does that, that's the only. And then he has to get in and out of break.

Shannon, he's got to hit the hard break, right? Or the show will just end. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right at the end. The show will just end. It'll be like Cal. Think about this. Cal's last words to the Big Blue Nation were going to commercial. That's true.

I don't know that anybody's realized that. That's right. Actually, no, his last words to Big Blue Nation were, I'm walking my dog. Oh, yeah. That's the last thing he ever said to us while he was coach, right? I believe it was. I thought it was when he getting cut off by the hard break, but you're right. Them catching him walking his dog was the last thing he said publicly.

That was the last thing he said publicly as the UK coach. Well, all right. So that's where that is. Everybody, like I said, root these kids on and they will go at 1130. Now, I just saw the video. I guess it came out last night. You know, so I admit I was of the view that the Scotty Schepleur Louisville thing was going to kind of fade into the distance. and I'm still of that view, but last night made me question it.

So I'm going to try to explain it to you because, Ryan, the process of someone getting indicted and then ending up at trial, Ryan, do you know how all that works? No, I'm waiting for someone to explain it to me so we can figure this out. Drew, what about you? Do you know how it works? No, this is where I would go to the internet and say, explain this to me like I'm five. All right, so let's go through what happens. Okay, so you're arrested. You are charged with something, and the cop is the one that charges you, the cop that arrest you. Chanon, did you know that?

Did you know your initial charge comes from the cop? Nope, didn't know it. Okay, then you will have an arraignment. Now, in Kentucky, our system goes like this. You know, did you know there are two types of court, Ryan? Do you know the two types of court? District and federal Close

There's federal and state But I mean like in in Fayette County Do you know the two types of court? Circuit court Circuit well done Shannon give him a bell there Nice job You have district and circuit court

Now district court is for the small things Circuit court is for the felonies Now Ryan do you know what the prosecutor In district court What he's called He or she No. Drew, do you know what that is?

No. They are the county attorney. County attorney. The prosecutor in all my jury duty. The prosecutor in circuit court for the felonies, do you know what that's called, Ryan? No. The Commonwealth attorney. I was going to say that.

I almost said that. That's what my mom was. Right? She was a Commonwealth attorney. That's for the felonies. So when you get arrested and you get charged with a crime, you go to district court first. And that's where you are arraigned, right? That's where they read the charges to you. Okay. And you can plead, you can plead guilty or not guilty, right?

So is that what was supposed to happen today? So what was supposed to happen today in Louisville was that. Gotcha. And when you are charged with a felony, you have to show up. So Shannon, you can't just go, let my lawyer do it. If you're charged with like a misdemeanor, like a speeding ticket, You don't have to go. Your lawyer can go for you. But if you're charged with a felony, Shannon, you have to show up. Does that make sense? Yeah, so he'll have to come back then.

So when you are arrested, they give you a date. You've gotten a speeding ticket, Drew, before, right? Yeah. They give you a date and say, here's your court date. Usually, not always, but usually the more serious the crime, the quicker the court date is. All right, so they tell Scotty Sheffler, you have to be there Tuesday. day. Now, what often happens is your lawyer, Ryan, he might have other things to do that day. Right. Happens a lot. So then what happens is the lawyer will say to the prosecutors, to the county attorney,

hey, I can't be there that day. Can we reschedule it? And they almost always will say yes. Yes. Matter of fact, I'm not saying they would never say no, but like as an attorney wants to, said to me, Shannon, you say yes for other people because one day you might need it. Yeah, exactly, right? Right? It's like a courtesy. You say that for other people because one day you might need it. And I can't think, I'm sure there are times it doesn't get agreed to, but it's almost

always agreed to. So yesterday, Romance comes walking in at motion hour and says, hey, we're supposed to do this tomorrow. can we change it? And the county attorney shows up. Now, normally, Ryan, at these things, the assistants do it, right? They don't have to show up to everything, especially in a place like Louisville where there's a ton of them, right? Okay. The main guy shows up. Did you see that? Names Michael Connell. He shows up. And he says, he argues and says, we are not postponing. Romines, if you watch the video, seems Drew, we know, we know, him pretty well, right? Seems kind of upset, doesn't he? Ducks his head a little bit.

Yeah, he seems a little upset. The judge, and they argue, and that video is on the internet, and if you haven't watched it yet, you got to watch it, I retweeted it, because Ryan, it's classic Romines. He's doing his thing, where he's like, judge, you understand. We agree, you know, he does that whole thing.

The judge sides with Romines. But it does make me wonder, right? If they fought the arraignment date, which no one fights, that gets continued all the time. It does make me wonder, are they not going to drop this? I assume they would. I just did. I was like, this is not going to keep going. But now you got to wonder if he's fighting over the littlest stuff, what will they do about the actual charges?

And honestly, how's that going to make the city of? Louisville look in the long run. See, I'm kind of with you. I felt like this prosecuting attorney maybe he's like okay, this is my chance. I can't let this go or I'm going to be criticized. I've got to fight it as if he's any other person.

But any other person would get a continuance. Like actually, Romance is right about that. Romance says if you want to treat him like any other person, you would give any other person a continuance. That's a good argument. So, I was surprised when I saw that video.

and Drew, it makes me wonder if maybe this thing, which most people thought would just go away, maybe it won't. And why, you might ask. Well, you know, a cynic would say, well, he just wants his moment in the sun. But then there's also the possibility maybe he knows something we don't. Right? I don't know. It's hard to say.

Yeah, I think me, a lot of people assume this would, you know, they'd move on from this, get it over with as quickly as they got him out of the, cell and to his tea time. It seemed like the city of Louisville, everyone involved wanted to get this behind them and handle it, but prosecutor has other intentions, it seems, now is it went to the courtroom. It's weird because you would have thought maybe with no body cam footage, it would make me speculate that it was much worse for Sheffler than anyone thought, but then there was, but there's no body cam footage. So you're still going on each. So you're going on everybody's word at this point. So the next step is when they have the, I think now they're going to have an arraignment. Why would he not

postponant if they're going to end up having it. I don't know, Shadden. I kind of wonder if this is going to end up being more than people realized. Yeah, the prosecution sounds like they're going to push the issue. They're not just going to let this fade away. And remember now, the county attorney does the preliminary part. But then if they charge him with the felony, it will go to the Commonwealth attorney. And right, it's important to remember those are different people. And they may or may not even work together. Right. It's a different. different office. So it may be the case that once it gets to the Commonwealth attorney, then they decide to dismiss it. Who knows? But it is worth noting those are two different

offices with two different powers. Most of the time they work together. But Ryan, maybe in this case, they don't. I don't know. So which one of them did this yesterday? The county attorney. The county attorney. Okay. But he will not be the one that if he would not be the one that would end up prosecuting the case. Does that make sense? Yeah. So why is he arguing to not continue it. If he's not even going to be involved with it. Well, he will be involved in charging him or sending him to the grand jury. You're confused, are you?

A little bit. I wish I could see his face, Drew, because I can see the puzzlement on his face even from Louisville. I think he's processing a lot of it. It was just a lot at once. A lot of it still having trouble getting all the way in there. What is, here's the big takeaway. What today was supposed to be is kind of a procedural thing.

that people continue all the time. And the fact that they fought it, to me, is quite weird. And I am really surprised by it. And it makes me wonder what's in that guy's mind. Because nobody fights that. And the fact that he did is strange to me. 859-280-2287. We're going to talk a little basketball.

We have the final set for, they didn't play game one last night, did they? the Eastern Conference? No, it's tonight. Okay, so that all starts this week. Plus, we've got some football news, and I'm going to say at 1030, what is the most important thing that has happened in college sports

in the last five years is happening this week, and I don't think people really realize it. That's next, Aaron KSR.N. KSar. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game.

We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson,

we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the bar. Like, you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out. real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Nice job, Shannon. District Court. A little Johnny Cash. Well done. That's cocaine.

That's right. Cocaine Blues. That's one of the best performances in the Walk the Line movie. Absolutely. Right? He plays that right towards the beginning, isn't it? and he does his little, you know. What do you think is the best?

The Amy Winehouse movie just came out. And people say it's awful. I haven't seen it. Have you seen it? No, I haven't. What do you think is the best music biography? Is it that one? Is it Walk the line?

For me, it probably is. I'm trying to think of the other ones that I've seen. Bohemian Rhapsody, the Queen movie came out. That was good. I thought that was kind of blah. I think that guy seemed a lot like Freddie Mercury, but I just thought that was kind of a blah. Walk the line's probably the best one.

that I've seen. Yeah, what about you, Ryan? What's your favorite? I was blown away by how good walk the line was. I didn't think it was going to be that good, but it was outstanding good. And part of why it was so good is both those dudes could sing so. Yes. I'm not, you know, Reese Witherspoon and, uh, what's the guy's name? Walking Phoenix. We're both, they, they perform so well themselves. Like, I would say the Reese Witherspoon version of Wildwood Flower, I like as much as the June Carter Cashwood. As crazy as that sounds. I think that's why I went into it thinking it was going to be good because they were going to sing their own songs, but ended up being fantastic. Yeah.

What about you, Derr, do you have one? I own Ray on DVD. Oh, Ray, yeah. I don't remember if it's good, but I have it. I think didn't Jamie Fox win the Oscar for that? I think he did. Yeah, I think he did. Well, I mean, eight mile, maybe.

It's got part of Eminem's life story in there. Do you get to play yourself, though, in your own life story? Is that allowed? Howard Stern did, right? That's true. It's true. That's a very good point. That was actually a pretty good movie too.

All right, 859-280-2287. I need a Ryan and Shannon thought, what do you think of the SEC tournament playing with two first base? So for people who haven't seen it, you can see the picture on my social media. I didn't know this was a problem. I have to tell you, this was a solution that I didn't even know was a problem. Apparently, they are doing two first base.

one is the first base that the defender will stand on to try to throw you out. But then there is a green first base to the right of the regular first base that will be for the runner. And I guess the reason is what, Shannon, so that you don't hurt your ankle? I guess so there's not a collision at first base. I mean, listen how ridiculous that sounds. There's going to be two first bases. What are we doing? Like, we're making a complete mockery.

Was this an issue? I mean, I'm sure there's been collisions in the history of baseball at first base, but there's also been a ton of collisions at home plate. We're going to do a double home plate now? I have to tell you, I don't, I mean, I don't watch a ton of baseball, but I watch a lot of reds. How many times do you see a collision at first base? I don't know that I've ever seen one at all.

Ryan, what am I missing on the first base? When I saw this, I played baseball for 18 years and never won. had a collision at first base. And my four years are playing college baseball. I don't remember one time a collision at first base. Now, there's a lot, like Shannon said, like it's second base, breaking up a double play. So what are they going to do? We're going to have a big flying saucer out at second base for that base?

I mean, it's just ridiculous, I think. It's also weird to me, Drew, that they are, this is a test, right? They're testing it. Why would you test it in the postseason? Like, why wouldn't you test it in the preseason? Why are you testing it in the postseason? Why are you testing it in the postseason? season. The base doesn't bother me that much. It looks weird. I didn't know there's a lot of collisions

either, but at the end of the day, whatever. But it is weird to just throw it in the middle of the postseason where guys, I mean, I was reading the rules. There's a little bit to it, and they're going to have to know which one to touch, you know, rounding the base. That's going to be completely different, and you're throwing it in right as they're starting their tournament. That's the weirdest part for me is that it wasn't, you know, started in the preseason. It looks like a broken ankle waiting to happen. But isn't that why they don't do it? I mean, The reason they put that on there, wasn't it to stop broken ankles? Just to make it, I guess, safer.

But to me, it's more of a hazard. If you step right in between those two bases, you can hyper extend a leg. I mean, easily there. So what has, let me ask you, is this a problem that I didn't know about? No, I don't know of it. And didn't they already extend the bag, make it bigger anyway? They did that in the majors. That's part of why people are stealing more this year.

The bag is bigger now. Why wouldn't they just do that rather than add a, you know, some little leagues do this. Okay, so I've heard that. Tell me about that. Some little leagues have been doing this. Why do they do it? Just for that, try to protect a collision at first base, because usually the throws kind of more wild in the little league level, and the first baseman kind of maybe get exposed.

So is that the thought process when you, is it to keep the first baseman when there are bad throws? Is that the thought process on it? Yeah, yeah, because, you know, if he's, if he goes up over the back, to catch a high throw, boom, he's just a target for a guy barreling down the sideline. But does that happen a lot in Little League? Or maybe a Little League? I mean, but am I missing these train wreck hits in Little League, Drew? Or is that happening?

I don't know. Well, I just have to assume it does because multiple levels are saying they're doing it to prevent collisions. So I don't, I mean, they didn't just wake up and make up collisions. I think they have to be happening a little bit for them to take the time to consider this and put it implemented into place. Well, maybe somebody can tell me. 772-745-254.

I never, it was odd to me to hear. Somebody sent me a text on the text machine that says, I can't believe there are two first bases. And Shannon, I thought I was like, I thought I had taken the ambics. Because I was like, what do you mean there are two first bases? When I saw this on Twitter, first of all, checked the date and make sure it wasn't April 1st.

And then I had to check to make sure it was a verified account because I'm like, this has to be some sort of parody account that's tweeting this out. I had to like double and triple check. I'm like, this is a real thing. It's really strange to me. Maybe somebody can explain it. Let's go to Tio.

How are you T.O.? Hey, Matt Jones. God bless you, boys. God bless you. That's Scottie Schaeffer. He's a bona fide American hero, boy. You get in between him and his tea time, he's going to run you over. It don't matter whether you're a law dog or not.

But don't you believe Tio in respecting. the police? A blue lives matter, boys. But I would sure love to see that body cam footage on YouTube later. But it is to me, Tio. There are people who like always say believe the police, believe the police. Why

not? Why aren't people? Why don't you give him the benefit of the doubt now? Well, I just like to see the body cam footage. I go but let's say it doesn't exist. So now that it doesn't exist, I mean, you know, most incidents people have with the police, they give the benefit of the doubt to the

police, why not this time? Well, I wasn't there, but I know Scottie Schiffer's a hero. Now, Matt Jones, how many guys do you know could go to jail? What'd he say? Could go to jail? How many boys do you know could go to jail in the morning? Get a cavity search. He did not have a K-I.

Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

All right. So apparently people say to me that, like, they do the two first bases in Little League in a lot of places, and they do it in Church League softball. So that's what we've dumbed down. SEC baseball too. Church League softball and Little League. Do people really get hurt, Drew, in Church League softball a lot? Is there a rash of Church League softball injuries I'm not aware of? I haven't attended a lot, but that's kind of my thinking here is if it's been done at so many levels, I don't think they're just making up these collisions. So in my brain, they have to be existing in some form for them to make these changes. Apparently it's prevalent in high school

girls softball. They've been using it for years. Really? Yeah, that's what somebody said. I don't, it just seems weird to me you would do it in the postseason. Yeah, that's what's kind of odd. Like they used to do it like in the college basketball when they have a rule change. They'll do it like Shannon, like in the Maui invitation or the preseason NIT. And then sometimes they'll do it in the postseason NIT because they're like, well, this doesn't really matter. You know? Yeah.

But to do it in the SEC tournament, I mean, can you imagine if they just made the basketball goal 10 and a half feet tall for the SEC tournament? Yeah. like, what are you doing? Why are you messing with the game? It's not broken. Don't try to fix it. Just weird. Just weird. But I guess that's, I guess that's what it works. One more college baseball thing real quick. Have you seen the story right about Birmingham Southern? No. Tell me about it. Birmingham Southern is a school that actually a guy I went to high school with went to play baseball for. Really? Division III school. They're shutting down. This will be the last year that Birmingham Southern ever exists.

not going to exist anymore. I don't know why, but the college is shutting down. You don't hear about that a lot, but the college is shutting down. But they're playing in the NCAA college world series, and they're in the final four. They beat Transylvania this past weekend. So Birmingham Southern is in the final four of the Division III baseball series. But as of now, the school has closed. They've already had graduation.

Oh, my. And so the last thing this school will ever do is, play in this tournament, but they're trying to win one for history. Apparently, that's a very good college baseball program, has won national championships before. But Ryan, the school has closed, but the last thing is they're trying to win this. Do you want to see them win for the school that won't exist? It makes me want to pull for them so bad.

And I wish what are they going to do if they win, they get their banner. They can't hang their banner anywhere. They're going to walk around. I think they just hang in their. house. Why not? Why not? Walk around an empty campus celebrating and enjoying their national championship. Do they have to stay as Birmingham Southern or can they go as Drew's Brew or something? No, I think they want to win it. I mean, they have a long ban. Drew's Brew. I was looking at Drew. Drew's. I think you want to change the name of the team to Drew's Brew? The Beer League softball.

You think they would, you think they have a better chance to win since they're not going to exist anymore? I think they're good with Birmingham Southern, but I like the idea of them winning and going back to campus and just having a wild party with all the locked buildings. Do you get to have a parade, Shannon? If the school doesn't exist anymore? Yeah, you win the title, shut it down.

Then you never defend that title. You leave as the champion forever. You're the champion forever. You don't ever defend it. You're the champion forever. You don't ever defend it. Then you just get to keep it. Whoever wins next year?

I think there's actually been a lot of kids from Kentucky play at Birmingham Southern. It actually really, I think, did have a really good baseball tradition. I have no idea why the school had to shut down. Jake, go ahead, Jake. Hey, Matt, first time, long time from Philly. What's going on, Jake and Philly? Oh, all kinds of good stuff.

Talk about music bios. You guys forgot Rocket Man, the Elton John one. Was that good? I didn't see it. It blows Bohemian wraps the out of the water because Aaron Edgerton and whoever. He actually sings all his songs, does good stuff. Who played Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody?

Rami Malleck. Yeah. Rami Malleck. With the University of Evansville, yep. Well, that's what matters, Shane, is that he went to the University of Evansville. Let's make sure. But go ahead, Jack. Double first base.

If the cats lose this tournament, you can just throw the tournament out entirely. They didn't say that. I totally agree with you. I'm not playing any Mickey Mouse rules in the postseason. Let me ask you a question. Do you know, like, when they're on first base, because, you know, the Kentucky steals a lot. Do they have to stand on the outer first base,

or can they stand on the inner first base? It better be on the inner one. Yeah, because it's the one that's in play. Here's the white one once you get to it. Yeah, not the green one that's actually in foul territory. What if you're rounding for, let's say I hit it to the outfield and I want to go for a double? Do I have to touch the outer one or can I touch the inner one?

You better touch that inner one. Yeah, you touch that outer one. you maybe you will trip yourself up go for that corner on the so the outer one is only if i'm running out a like a infield hit yeah i think so yeah i guess if you hit the outer one you're going to make that trip to second base another foot and a half longer that's what i'm saying yeah so you do by the way do either of you know what you're talking about or you're just guessing about the rounding the second i'd say it would be ridiculous to try hit that outside bag you got to hit that inside bag the white one it's because it's in that's going to you know help you

on your way to second base. Okay. I have the official rule, if you want to read it. Yeah, read me the rule. On extra base hits or other balls hit to the outfield where there is no chance for a play to be made at the double base, the batter runner may touch either the white or colored section of the base. However, the batter runner, if they're reaching go beyond first base,

they may only return to the white. So it sounds like they can touch both, but only the white is in play. Why would you touch both? That would seem awkward. You can, I guess you touch either one of them. I don't know. starting to sound like kickball or something. I mean, this was ridiculous.

All right, go ahead, Jake. What if you have big feet? You know, you got to hit both of them. Yeah. It's tough that way. Well, I appreciate the call. I agree with you, Shannon. That's a good point about if you end up between them,

you could easily turn your ankle, right? Yeah, to me, it's causing more of a problem than what exists already. Yeah. One person writes in the text machine, Matt, did you see the video of Bryson D. Shimbaud with the golf ball? What would Shannon have done if he caught the ball? All right. So I don't know if you all saw this.

This was at the PGA championship. Bryson D. Shimbaud is walking off the range. And he takes a golf ball. And you know, all these kids are standing there. And he just tosses the kid a golf ball. He's like, the kid's like, hey, can I have your ball? And Bryson tosses it to the kid. But then a man is standing like five feet behind.

Sees Bryson's about to throw it. Come sprinting up. up reaches and catches the ball from the kid and then starts to walk away. And Bryson sees it, runs back and yells at him and goes, hey, give that kid the ball. I wasn't throwing it to you. And at first the guy looks like he's just going to keep it. But then he brings it back and hands it to the kid. So two things, Drew.

Number one, if you're that man, is that the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you in your life? And two, are you giving the ball back? You have to give the ball back. And good for Bryson for doing that. I'm glad, you know, he's walking to his next nine, and he stopped to call that guy out and yell at him and wait for him hand it to the kid. Grown men out there, if you're pushing kids out of the way for autographs

or taking golf balls thrown to them or foul balls thrown to them, that is embarrassing and you should be a shame. There was a lot of that, the PGA, where kids are trying to get autographs or get a ball, and you see some 40-year-old fat guy leaning over him, shoving them out of the way. That's embarrassing to watch. Let the kids have their moment. Ryan, would you, was that

the most embarrassing thing you've seen a dude doing a while? Yeah, because what's the first thing his coworkers are doing as soon as he walked, went in and walked into work yesterday. They're making fun of him, yelling at him, and for the rest of his life, he's going to be that guy that took a golf ball from a little kid. From a kid.

Now, Shannon, I can see you doing this. No, now, if there's a kid that, you know, first of all, there's a kid anywhere close, you have to give the ball to the kid. But you were just last week saying you wouldn't give a foul ball to a kid. I said a kid can't run over from another section and ask for the ball. If a kid is closed, you have to give the kid the ball. Now, if the kid ran up from the T-box, he goes, hey, give me that ball.

No, now it's my ball. But if you're close, all right? If you're like right around me, you've got to get the ball. Okay, so the Shannon's standard of keeping balls is. If you're within, I'll say, 25 feet of me, then you get the ball if you're a kid. If you're within, there's a 25 foot rate. That's a big radius. We're social distancing from the kids.

It's like Mitch Barnhart and fear, proximity to the kids. Yeah, exactly. You can't run over, though, from the other. Okay. Yeah, you can't run it from the other green or the tea box and demand the ball from me. So, all right, there's a chance that the guy who did it, Drew, is listening to this show. Very much chance. Right?

I mean, he was at the tournament in Louisville, could be a UK fan, could be a KSR fan. There's a great chance, a 100% chance that, someone listening to this show knows that guy. Yeah. Unless he just happened to be here from out of town, there's a very good chance someone listening to this show knows that guy. Does he deserve the public scorn that he is getting for stealing the ball from the kid? Well, he saved his butt a little bit by bringing it back and giving it to the kid, you know? But did he have a choice? I mean, if he hadn't done that. What would have happened? I like how Des Chambot was like, we're using his club.

You're like pointing him out like a rifle. Like he's got him zeroed in. Like that's him, it's him, it's him. Are you going to arrest the guy for taking the ball? I mean, nothing was going to happen to him. I think the internet would have been brutal. The internet would have been brutal. Yeah, no doubt.

You're right about that. Well, I tell you what I'm like a foul ball. Bryson pointed the kid and like lobbed it. It was for the kid. That's true. It was for the kid. He was like, here you go. And the guy jumped in front of it.

But I wouldn't take the guy to Red State Barbecue because they are a KSR Heritage Spobes. sponsor and they're getting ready for Memorial Day. You can pick up Red State barbecue products. It's the best barbecue sauce you can get in Kentucky. It's Kentucky Prouds. It's Red State barbecue. It's at Liquor Barm, Kroger, Critchfield, on Southland, the Kentucky Horse Park,

jungle gyms in Cincinnati, Publix in Louisville. It's Red State BBQ.com. Try it for Memorial Day. Use the promo code MD20 and get 20% off your order with Red State. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. The smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash will get that thing.

That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball, like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app,

I'm not worried about Policic. I'm not worried about balligan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team.

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarter-final. or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back, Kentucky Sports Radio. We have some breaking news.

Running a nah! I do wonder if this will be the first of many times this happens. Jaden Rashada has sued the University of Florida, and head coach Billy Napier over breaking their promised NIL deal to him and backing out of promising $13 million. $13 million. God, 13.

What? Wow. That's not going to be the last time that happens. So he's saying they promised him $1 million if he signed. He did and they never sent him the money. Oh, yep. I can see that happening. Like you said, a lot.

It's starting to happen a lot. Dude, I'm telling you, when you hear all this money, especially in football, I think it happens less in basketball. But in football, the amount of money promised to guys that they never get is like the most underreported storyline in college football. And a lot of times it's what leads to people leaving. When you see schools with a mass exodus and you're like, why is that happening? the money is almost always at least part of the reason right now.

And Drew, that will not be the last time that happens. That's for certain. Yeah, this opens the door for more of them. But this one alone is just going to be so weird because you have, I guess, a quarterback at Georgia suing the current coach in Florida. And in the story, it says when Kirby Smart was notified of intentions, he gave him his blessing. It's like, yeah, I'm sure you do.

did give him the blessing to sue your rival coach. So the Georgia quarterback, Shannon is suing Florida. This is crazy. And the head coach is named. He's part of the lawsuit. So it's like quarterback versus coach in one of the biggest college basketball or football rivalries. Imagine Brock Vandergriff suing Jeff Robb. This is going to put a stop, though, to coaches guaranteeing money to any recruits. I think it certainly will. It might because they're going to get sued otherwise. It's really interesting. Let's go to Dwayne. Go ahead, Dwayne.

I'm calling about the base thing, and Ryan is right. And girls' softball in Kentucky, they do have two bases, and you don't even really pay no attention to it because it's always there. And they mainly just use it like when they're around in the base or when they're going for a base hit the first. Other than that, it's never even really in play. And in baseball, my son's team, he did have a kid. Their first baseman got their wrist broke because the third baseman threw the ball up.

the line a little bit and he reached out to get the ball and wasn't paying attention to the runner. The runner ran straight into his arm and broke his wrist. There is injuries there that happens. Well, I didn't realize it. I had one person right. I appreciate it. One person writes, my husband blew out his knee sliding into second base playing co-ed church league softball and I was pretty angry at him.

Good grief. Competitive much? Yeah. Would you be mad? Would Abby, yoga girl, would they be mad if you blew out your knee sliding into second in church league softball? I don't think mad would be the word, but I would get absolutely roasted in my own home. I would not hear the end of that, maybe forever. Why are you sliding in church league softball?

Yeah. At my age, if I'm trying to slide in coach pitch softball, you guys need to have a serious conversation. But of the four of us, who would be most likely to slide in church league softball? Ryan Lemon. Shannon? Is it obviously, Ryan Lemon? Ryan, you are the one that is absolutely most certain to do it. Well, I guess I didn't thought about that.

I go to the bottom of the last inning and I got to get in scoring position and I got to take that extra bag. I guess I'd have to do that for my team. Oh, you're going to get halfway down that path and you're going to be filling 20 years old again and you can slot in there. Tom Leach could be the catcher in a media softball game and you would bowl him over to get to home play. Yeah, I remember he was arguing.

You would. You would literally go shoulder first into the voice of the cat so that you could score. And you're the most competitive person in that world I know. You know, you don't lie. You're telling you, you're speaking the truth right now. He still argues fair or foul over that home run ball. Which was clearly fair. Clearly foul.

What was the call on the field? Was the call on the field? It was wrong. It was what it was. The blind up fire is what it was. Aaron, go ahead, Aaron. Yeah. So the biggest mistake Kentucky football and Jerry Claiborne ever made was not recruiting John Leppard out of high school in 1987.

All right. I appreciate the call. I mean, thank you for that waste of time. Tracy, I mean, that's like he, that has to be he knows that guy, Shannon, right? And it was just like. Or it was him. Or it was him. Yeah, go ahead, Tracy.

Good morning, guys. How's everybody doing? Doing good. I just have a comment on the college that's closing. That happened to my son back in 2019. He was a freshman at Urbana on the other side of Dayton. And he got a swim scholarship that's a Division II school. And he broke two records, was close to breaking three more by like 100th of the second.

and the school closed after COVID. And being the optimist, my son is he's like, well, mom, no one's ever going to break my record. Like, my record's going to stand for us. You know, I always worry about, I always think about schools that consolidate in high school. And I appreciate the call. Like, like Freddie, did he go to Kaywood? Is that right?

He went to Cumberland. Cumberland. Well, that school doesn't exist anymore. Right. So how does that feel? Like, are you a Harling County? fan now. Like I always think about Middlesboro. One day that might become

just Bell County. You know, I hope not. I'm wearing a Middlesbrough shirt today. But, but, Ryan, that has to make you feel a little empty when that happens, right? Yeah, I think it happened. I think I was in the third grade and Otwell High School closed to consolidate into the county school.

And it was a lot of hurt feelings for many years that lose their school. But you hadn't graduated yet, right? No, I had no. I was like third grade, I think. I just wonder what it would be like, Shannon, to graduate from a high school that doesn't exist anymore. Be weird. But I think I would take the same approach, though.

Nobody's going to break my record anymore. I mean, you got to look at the positive side of things. I don't have any records. That's true. Most time on the bench. First seat trumpet player. Okay. You know what?

First of all, one should be proud of being first chair on the trumpet. At least you made the team. Had my braces not come, I'd still be a good trumpet player, Shannon. I could join your band if you wanted. We need one. We could do like, I don't know, sublime, I think. Exactly. But then I got the braces and then it was there went the ambition.

Not too late. You could still learn. It could have been a great thing. 859, 280, 20287. I got time for one more. Let's go. Yeah, Bob and Jamestown. Go ahead.

That's plenty of time. Go ahead. Yep. Anytime you're ready, Bob. Which Bob? The one in Jamestown. You. Oh, I didn't hear it.

Yesterday, Matt, you were talking about Constantine. rights. Quick, quick. All people have to worry about is your first, fourth, fifth, and fourteenth amendment. When police cop, uh, confidence. What about the second? What about the second amendment? And don't you want, don't you want to keep the, don't you want to keep soldiers out of your home?

Third amendment. Well, yeah, you want to, you know, but the first, fourth and fifth and the 14th of the main was when police. What about the 11th amendment? What if you're a woman, the right to vote? Yeah. Anyway, this is the short one. When police challenge you, all you had to tell.
