JR Greer is now reporting

  • Traditional media wouldn't stalk a guy's facebook page just because he's a millionaire and likes to drink beer at football games. Well, maybe Larry Vaught would.

    He's never been a source and he will never be a source. What he puts on facebook is irrelevant. If anyone is a clown, it's the person who goes to his facebook page to see what he is posting. That goes double for anyone who would actually report said posts.

    I know you hate Jones but you do hold the traditional media up on a pedestal. I have an idea why that is and it's cool but it is also something I just don't agree with. I think the traditional media are a huge part of the problem with our society and their bastard step-children sports journalists are the worst offenders.

    He openly admitted he had no idea so many people would see and respond to his FB page and how fun It was. Hell, it got him an interview with Larry Vaught.

    This is a way for him to keep playin with people, keep a spot light on him, and make a ton of new FB friends.

    Greer = epic fail

    How is his FB post any different then the posts we have been reading on here the last few months?..lol

    that MacIntyre will not be the HC at UK....per his FB page.

    Just some advice before you post these amazing updates again, check out the source because its foolish to mention what every tom, dick and harry says oline.

    The fact that Vaught interviewed just shows how bizarre Larry has gotten. Considering the way he has covered this search, something weird has to be going on with him...

    Hop, I've noticed that about Larry as well....actually for a couple of years now; especially as it pertains to the football program. Only thing I can speculate is that a friend or contact of his has poisoned the well/tainted him. He's put up more "bush league" (from a journalistic sense) stuff in the past couple of years than I ever remember him doing in the past. Maybe he has succumbed to the mentality of creating controversy (with 3rd and 4th hand information) is good marketing strategy.

    Who knows but it is uncomfortable to watch. Pretty petty of Larry.

    Probably is a combo of Larry having some kind of issue with mitch personally mixed with the fact that newspaper journalist are becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. So he's playing into the arms of some of the UK internet fans who hate mitch.

  • I know the Greers, know them well. Elmo, Little Elmo, Sam(dated Sam's daughter years ago), Lanny, etc.... JR is a good guy. The Greers give a lot to UK and love UK BB & FB. I can't believe people are this fired up over what started as a joke.
