This from the category of “Do you forgive him because he’s old or because he’s a legendary coach?”.

Our Louisville bureau chief reports an incident from “The Joe B. and Denny show” on WKRD-AM, one hosted by former Louisville coach Denny Crum and former Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall (and a moderater whose name we’ll leave out because, well, he never gets in a word).

Situation goes like this: Denny was talking about a golf game from the day before, one where he was grouped with a one-armed man. Crum kept talking about how good the player was, how impressed he was, and then the bombshell (and we’re DESPERATELY trying to get audio):

“The guy was so good he beat me like a runaway slave!,” Crum said.

We’ll allow you let that one sink in.

Anyone that’s listens to the show knows the charm (well, to some) is the grandpa-ish nature of the show, listening to the two legendary coaches tell sometimes insipid stories about college hoops, horse racing, fishing and golf. But there’s gotta be a point where the brain says “You know, this isn’t the best thing to say on air”.
