October 30, 200916 yr Maybe Tipton has more information than what he's letting on at this point. Just a thought. And no, just because one detail — it's not as though the vehicle was what the entire story was about — was incorrect or needed clarification means the entire story was wrong. Yes, that is what I call throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Maybe pigs can fly. Just a thought. The baby is in West Virginia. The bathtub and bathwater are in Lexington. Maybe he should take some advice from Chad and kiss the baby rather than throwing it out.
October 30, 200916 yr Given UK's history, when a basketball player shows up somewhere with a slick new vehicle, it raises red flags, whether you like it or not. I really do feel like it's March 30th and people are saying "April fools". He put the part about driving a brand new car in the story to raise flags. You're admitting that. It was a lie. That isn't a problem?
October 30, 200916 yr I'd say he at least played a part in it. Not to pile on you, but do you have proof or is it in West Virginia while you tell everyone it's in Lexington? I'd love to see the proof that Tipton played a part in that story. I'm not saying it isn't there I'd just love to see it.

It was a lie. That isn't a problem? I can't definitively say he intentionally lied, and no one on this board can either. He likely made a an assumption based on the comments Patterson made to him, which led to a mistake that anyone could make.
October 31, 200916 yr You guys keep posting his articles and how much you hate his writings, so why do you keep reading them. I read 1-2 and decided, they ain't worth me donating the 2-3 minutes of my life to read them.

October 31, 200916 yr Really? How can you be so sure what I pose isn't correct? I'm done with you on this one Jim. :walk: Though it is still sad.
October 31, 200916 yr Pretty sure he's been around that long. Did he uncover the scandal or are you just spreading inaccurate information?
October 31, 200916 yr Did he uncover the scandal or are you just spreading inaccurate information? Don't know what his role was but he was definitely with the HL during that time.
October 31, 200916 yr You know I have taken shots at Tipton recently but thinking back I don't remember him being this big a jerk. I really think it's sad that a guy who is in the Hall of Fame is going to finish a distinguished career this way. Resorting to stiring the pot to get attention. Very sad.

He doesn't like Calipari, IMO. He took a huge turn for the worse this summer.
October 31, 200916 yr He doesn't like Calipari, IMO. He took a huge turn for the worse this summer. And Cal has publicly let him know that he doesn't care for him either. The interview sessions should be interesting this season.

The interview sessions should be interesting this season. In a way, then, Calipari brought some of this on himself. There's an old saying: Don't make enemies with people who buy their ink by the barrel. They'll always have the last word.
October 31, 200916 yr Tipton is one of the reasons that I chose to quit reading the Hearld Leader. Their news is based to much on speculation.
