The Beasman is losing his mind over media attention paid to that no count U of Smell suckup Larry Minner, who is celebrating 50 years on Kentucky radio stations!

That aside...it's time to FIRE MARK POPE! The University of Kentucky basketball team was manhandled by Alabama - a record fourth consecutive loss to the Tide - so Big Blue Nation is losing faith in Coach Pope.

Beasman wants him gone right away and replaced immediately with Alabama's coach Nate Oats.

Always love speaking with Jim Graven, the hardest working man in Louisville. When he's not helping first responders or snowplowing most of St. Matthews, he's working with his son Gunnar and daughter Allison at the family business Steepleton.

The company was founded in 1910 and is the second oldest retailer of billiard tables in the United States. Through the years, Steepleton has added sales of high quality hot tubs, saunas, basketball goals, grills, swing sets, trampolines, patio furniture, and lots more outdoor entertainment goods.

Jim is announcing his retirement and his son and daughter will carry on the Steepleton legacy, a great win for the Louisville business and retail community.
