Glad I cancelled my subscription to that POS paper 6 years ago but I have to admit I was still amazed when I saw the front page of the sports section at my brother's house this morning.
I'm sure they will defend giving the University of Calipari basketball team the headline on the front page by saying that going 31-0 in the regular season is the bigger story. If both schools resided in the city of Louisville you could argue that but they don't. To be honest Louisville beating the No.2 team in the nation on a last second shot on Senior Night is a much better story than an NBA farm team going undefeated during the regular season playing in a Mid-Major conference anyway. But to put that crap on the front page of a Louisville newspaper is an insulting joke, especially in a city where Louisville fans outnumber UK fans 2-1.
I'd be willing to bet that if Tony Bennett and his Virginia team stayed overnight and picked up a Courier-Journal and saw the headlines they would be shocked and wondering if they had awakened in Lexington. A small side note on the corner of the front page after 2 heavyweights played one of the best 3 college basketball games all year and the city's home team was the winner? For a spread about a quasi-pro team from 75 miles away beating a team that has a losing record and equaling what Wichita St. did last year. Bullsh!t.
I hope the C-J loses a huge number of subscriptions and glad I haven't given them a dime for almost 6 years.
