Kyle Tucker calling it quits. WCS story was his last story.

Smart move. Journalism is being ripped apart and the money has always been scarce. Sad times but crying won’t change them.
He blocked me years ago so I haven't seen or read anything of his in a while. He is the biggest whiny ass crybaby on the planet but when he stuck to just writing and covering basketball he was excellent. He has some serious anger issues, hope he gets those addressed in whatever he does next.
No one believes the press. They have themselves to thank for all the fake new. Once politics ruled the forth estate, they were doomed.
And immediately politics. SMH.
Tucker has always been very good at covering UK Sports, albeit a little grumpy from time to time. He wasn't afraid to go after Cal in the last couple of years either (when it was needed). Gonna miss him a bit.
But maybe this is a good thing, Pope basically gets a fresh start with new media members as well (minus KSR and a few others).

Many many reasons involved. In this instance I’d say he got offered better money with less travel. That lifestyle seems like it would be fun but I’d bet it gets real old real quick.
Yeah, I've seen some ads for freelance photographers for like $30 bucks PER assignment. Like, dang, that's awful.
Kyle and his family are dealing with some tough issues I won’t go into. I think it best to send good thoughts his way.
Is it just me or does it seem like recently they have empty phone lines quite often. At one point you couldn't hardly get into the show but I have noticed that this summer, and even since Matt has been back, when they say to go to the phone lines Shannon or Rick will say they don't have anyone waiting on hold.
Their show has become very very boring. Same shtick that’s no longer funny.
I can get the off season or even when Matt was in Europe but I think it was last week that he asked Rick for the next caller and Rick told him they didn't have anyone waiting. Then this week Drew asked Shannon and he said the same thing. Football starts tomorrow so you would think people would already be getting pumped up for it.
The way the season ended last year kinda has us where we were in basketball last season. It's put up time for Stoops.
The "pony up" comments, the A&M "I wasn't leaving but I was" ordeal, the insanely hard schedule, has put a damper on the season a bit. If we come out this weekend and look crisp and dominate the cupcakes like we should (30 points wins) then you'll see the hype build a bit.
I listen to the podcast and rarely get to listen live, but whenever someone calls they are put on hold for a LOOOONG time and when they get the opportunity to talk, if it's a subject Matt doesn't like, they are cut off QUICK!! Even if it is something that is relevant to the conversation, Matt will STILL cut them off even when what they say is interesting, if he doesn't like it.
Then he will go ON AND ON about something leaving the caller a short amount of time to ask a question or make a comment. So that's why only the regulars call in now. They are used to Matt, so they aren't offended by him when he cuts them off.
Callers were actually given WAAAYYY MORE airtime while Matt was gone.

You may be right. I just don't recall ever hearing them have no callers this often. It makes me wonder if the shine has worn off the new penny.
Honestly I listen to radio and podcasts to hear the hosts and their qualified guests. I couldn't care less about Bubba from Harlans take on UK sports.
You calling anyone out on being a whiny assed crybaby is hilarious.
You bring a bottle and a bib into every game thread like the best of 'em, JF.
He was flamboyant in his politics. You can’t make politics so integral to your identity and then be surprised when it’s brought up any time you are.
Oh, I totally agree, I was just answering WHY more people don't call in anymore. But lately, there seems to be a TON of "Bubba's" that are regular callers to KSR!!😂😂😂
“An opportunity too good to pass up” = wasn’t paying the bills
Tucker is a puss. Hope wherever he ends up has a padded room because the dude is soft AF.

Regardless of the type of person I believe him to be, I’ll never hope for illness on anybody. Hope he ends up as a Starbucks assistant manager though.
When I used to listen to finebaum his show was the worst. The callers were psychos and seemed like paid F level comedic talent. I think callers are bad on most shows but his wins the trophy for worst.
1 day away from you saying our Football teams sucks, the players suck, etc....nonstop until we are about to win and then POOF you'll vanish. Then you get an entire season to do the same thing and cripple the basketball game threads under Pope.
Shocked that someone would block you...........
The only thing he ever elevates to positive status is Duke basketball, lol.
Jesus @Cold Stout Beer you posted a laugh emoji?!!?! I hope you never get crushed by a mountain of medical bills
Sorry you have an issue with comprehension. I was clearly laughing at you suggesting JFcats to ease up on Kyle as he won't and my reply made that obvious.
Keep your gun in the holster a little longer, Barny Fife.
I'm just sick of every damn conversation in the country turning into it. It's like we can't go two seconds without whipping out our political views. And that goes for all parties.
Today I learned that some of their store managers can make as little as 26k/year. No wonder that company is tanking.
