In case you haven't noticed, WDRB's Bill Lamb likes making major statements, most of which he unloads on his "Point of View" news segments. But the biggest recent statement was snatching two top sports columnists Rick Bozich and Eric Crawford from the pages of the Courier-Journal.
At University of Louisville women’s basketball games, I sit where I can watch head coach Jeff Walz. All by himself, he is worth the price of admission. He gets excited. About everything. If basketball is a dance, he is the prima ballerina — arms in the air one moment, hands on hips the next. Lips twisted for a growl. Shouting, shouting, shouting! Yet when U of L made a video of him inviting students to use the school’s new online course-evaluation program, he read from a script.
Way boring.
A University of Louisville medical-research team is in the thick of a worldwide race to come up with a cell-replacement cure for the nation's number-one killer: heart disease.
Stage a celebration that accepts that good people can’t ignore the Westboro tribe, yet subversively aggressively ignores them. My suggestion: A dance party.
Breeders’ Cup planners suffered Kentucky Derby envy. Or perhaps Kentucky
Derby intimidation is a better diagnosis. That’s why it took five years
to bring the Cup to Churchill Downs.
Because every state establishes its own rules for racing, including
veterinary care, the Breeders’ Cup has to announce and enforce its
strict veterinary standards wherever the meet is held, demanding a fully
equipped trauma center as well as two state-of-the-art equine
ambulances.
You can fit 45 Thoroughbreds on a DC-8. But horses crossing an ocean to
race in the Breeders’ Cup have more legroom than some of the fans who
flew into Louisville this week.
This is biology’s inner sanctum, soon to be home to Louisville’s most dangerous inhabitants, lined up in tiny tubes inside locked freezers. There will be bubonic plague, and hantavirus.
