Long live Cocaine Mitch
Long live Cocaine Mitch
Come on...computer glitch is the best you could come up with?
The number of people on my Twitter feed that are losing their minds over Matt being banned from the KSR radio show is quite amusing. I have never witnessed so much vial hatred toward anyone and they evidently don't realize Matt's own party did the same thing with the TV show.

Jones is a conman and deserves whatever he has coming to him. Not only did he establish KSR by stealing information from premium message boards and passing it off as his own but the very name KSR was stolen from Kentucky Sports Report without attribution in order to illegally establish his brand. It's not surprising that he continues to try to skirt the law in establishing his farce of a political career.
He didn't do it first but he done it way better.
None of the others had the vision that Matt did
Lol at those who though they were going to be successful with "premium" info.
Matt didn't make the mistake of trying to charge.
Just be free and entertaining.
What Matt has made through KSR dwarfs all the others combined.
Patterson and Lucas made KSR.
I read KSR despite Jones, not because of him. He strikes me as someone who thinks folks listen/read because of him - not because of their obsession with UK football and basketball.
Spoiler alert - it's the teams.

Agree it's the product that sells.
Matt just did a good job of packaging and marketing
I’ve never understood the fandom some have with Matt Jones. His sports takes are nothing more than just telling you what happened or the situation. For example, if UK gets the ball with 2 minutes left in the 4th in a tie game this Saturday he’s going to tweet something like “this is a huge drive coming up.” That’s not insightful in the slightest, but those are the brevity of his takes. From a sports perspective, his takes are worthless. He essentially doesn’t have takes. He just tells you the bare bones of what’s happening. His comments are like what someone who doesn’t watch sports at all would say. Just look at his tweets from the UK vs Michigan State game the other night. Nothing of substance.
Also, I’ve never felt he really respects his audiences. From the little interactions I’ve seen, he talks down to his audiences and makes fun of callers that sound funny or say outrageous things.
To me, he’s always come across as a narcissist, which means he might do ok in politics, but I don’t think he’ll beat McConnell.

Im pretty mad at the dem party for making me want to vote for Cocaine Mitch.
JBHolmes, be careful now. MJ’s KSR brigade of brown-nosing, knob polishing, dead from the neck up sycophants will come out and attack you for criticizing their wannabe senator.
That’s fine. I’m bored anyways.
Anyone who wants to get rid of the 2nd most powerful person in DC (that is from KY) is either a dipsh&t, an ignorant liberal, or both. Sure, let's replace Mitch so the squad and other leftist dumbassess can just parade thru and turn it into an even bigger circus. Mitch is the only one who can keep Pelosi, Schumer, etc...in check.
Matt Jones as a Senator....good grief. Why not just write in Alan Cutler....same style, same hair, same buffoonery.

I know it's hard to talk about a situation like this and stay non-political, but here goes. I just heard about it today and it pretty much sounds like until he decides if he's going to run or not, he shouldn't be on the radio campaigning. I don't really see this as a problem, just more of a it's time to Sh-- or get off the pot.
Personally, I don't think he's going to run, I just think he adores the attention he gets acting like he will. Once he runs, he will have to start talking policy and a large section of his audience won't agree with him no matter what side he takes. He's smart, he knows this. Although he's also smart and knows that as long as he stays on the fence and acts like he's interested, he gets free publicity for free.
That being said, I'm probably not as well-read on all this as many of you are. I stopped listening to KSR a while ago just because I got too busy.

(Hey Matt, if you're reading this AND you ever become Governor or Senator, I'm just kidding, okay? Thanks.)
Anything to keep Drew Franklin off air I’m for.
Don't listen to KSR, don't care what they or Matt Jones do.
The smartest man in Kentucky who is so smart he went to Duke. Matt is currently taking a course in National Campaign Finance laws. You are never too smart to learn
I think Mitch is making himself out to look petty and small. But on the other hand I don't think he's really worried about Matt running at all. I think Mitch is letting Matt know he's playing to win, and Matt better bring his A-game and have a big pair of stones if he's going to run. Big time politics is NOT for the faint of heart.
I listen to KSR to hear stuff about UK and sports. When Matt and the guys get going on one of their political tangents, I typically change the channel or turn on my iPod. I turn to sports to get away from political and social issues. Same goes for ESPN or Foxsports when their personalities on there start turning sports topics into political and social issues. I change the channel.
Just my 2 cents.

He's waiting to see what Rocky Adkins is going to do. If Rocky runs then Matt will step down. If Rocky doesn't run then he'll go for it. FWIW I like Matt as a person and would vote for him in a state wide office. I think he would excel even as governor but when it comes to National politics I would have to decline. Not only does Matt adhere to Socialist Democrat doctrine he also believes in it. He gets his information from liberal publications and media outlets and doesn't even question it's authenticity not realizing it's bought and paid for propaganda.
What's going on? I haven't heard anything about it.
This entire situation is very strange to me.
The FEC cannot even hold a meeting. They do not have enough members. They don't have enough members because McConnell has refused to affirm appointments to the FEC since 2015. Even a Trump appointment in 2017 has gone unaffirmed for two years. So, it doesn't make much sense that the Kentucky GOP and McConnell would complain to the FEC knowing full well that nothing can come of it.
I suppose it could be a publicity stunt, but if so, it is a bad one given that Jones isn't running and it makes McConnell seem kind of petty at this point. It could be to deter Jones from running? I don't know. It is a weird situation.

The show will die a slow death without him, just like the website is currently doing since he handed it over to his peons.
I used to listen to KSR in the early days, and I thought it was entertaining. Over time, the show grew stale, repetitive, and silly. When Matt started interjecting his politics into the equation, that did it for me. Personally, I hope he runs because I want to see the McConnell political machine flatten his ***. His arrogance in believing that he is the only candidate to take down McConnell is quite amusing.
Hey Matt, go ahead and make it official, so that we can all sit back with our favorite adult beverage and watch you crash and burn.

I'm a little confused by your post. If you don't like his socialist views, why would you vote for him for a state wide office or governor, but not national offices? It seems like he would be a horrible candidate for either if you don't agree with his socialist agenda.
Matt couldn't do at the state level what he could do at a National level. For instance the Paris Climate Accords. He could not implement that **** on a state level but he could and would at a National level.
I do, however, believe that he loves the state of Kentucky and would work hard for it's benefit. Which is why I would trust him in a statewide office.
Who is John Galt?
But, seriously, how many f'n Matt Jones threads do we need?
Vegas won't touch the over/under.
I'm saying Friday noon before the "Favorite Matt Jones Thread " thread appears.
Damn.
If the shoe was on the other foot, Matt Jones would be doing the EXACT SAME THING.
We all know he would. He knows he would. Who cares

But if his view of how to benefit Kentucky to to implement socialist polices, wouldn't run against your view of what should be done? There are plenty of socialist policies he could implement that would run business out of the state and make it more difficult to sustain economic growth. I just don't really understand why you would be willing to accept socialist policies for Kentucky, but not not for the country as a whole. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just trying to understand the distinction you are making in your mind.
