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

I meant 20 years ago. I have no idea what they make now. I was a supervisor and made $8.30. Minimum wage was still $5.15

Yeah, I'm sure there are some very small volume stores or kiosks.

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.

I don’t disagree. Point the finger at Kyle Tucker too.

Haha, so he can't post his opinion on his own account 🤣

Always wondered how anyone at his company could be making any money. Hed put out one really thorough story every one or two months while the site only charged $5 per month or something.

No way there are enough subs to pay him anything much if thats his volume. Especially in short attention span of today.

Where did I say that? My point is that if you lament people bringing politics up, he’s just as guilty.

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.

KSR has pissed off half their fanbase because of their outspoken political beliefs. Good riddance.

View embedded media

Ahhh now he can’t block people who disagree with him.

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...........

First time the football team gives up a FG tonight they will be the worst team ever.

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).

Yes it's unreal how people who 20 years ago didn't give a rats ass about politics, but now it totally consumes their every thought. So much so that a guy retiring from a job completely unrelated to politics is somehow a chance for these clowns to inject politics.

Good luck to the guy. He was a wimp when it came to taking public criticism and for a while was a Cal butt hugger, but he still dedicated his life to covering UK sports. Gotta at least give him that.

 

[Cawood86]

Anyone know who will be covering them now in his place?

I agree
we can all remember when sports writers and sports radio hosts would push sports and not their political views, then ban or block anyone that disagrees

i go to sports forums to talk sports
i go to political forums to talk politics

Really too bad that a thread about a guy leaving the UK coverage world is getting hit with such vitriol. People crying that he blocked them from his own feed as if they would have acted differently if it was their feed. This is Maga and right wing hate radio and fox to its full effect. Anything outside the cult thinking is met with anger and rage. I have a neighbor that won't talk to his circle of neighbors anymore because we're not Trumpers. Politics is all he thinks about, sitting with his garage door open and his hate radio blaring. When we approach him he quickly just shuts his garage door. Last Christmas he would not answer the door when my wife tried to bring him cookies. Maybe when trump goes away things will improve, atleast that is what we hope.
