Always enjoyed his show. Of all the local media, he was by far the fairest to UK during the Emory scandal. RIP!

RIP Paul. Always liked his show back in the day. I was actually listening Paul's show the morning of 9/11. Will never forget that. Paul was signing off just as news of the first tower hit was being reported.

He was by far the best talk radio guy. I thought WHAS missed when they didn't replace Van Vance with Paul.

I agree 100 percent Paul was very knowledgeable about Coach Rupp..We worked on a series of cassettes called The Rupp Tapes and 'They Still Keep Score..Don't they"

Always enjoyed listening to Paul when I lived in the Louisville area, a great loss to sports journalism.
