The great Charlie Pierce makes a joke about his old buddy John Calipari.
Only 25 minutes until Kentucky’s eight electoral votes are awarded. They still cost less than UK’s starting five this year. #election

Hey, he’s probably telling the truth!
Jealous aren’t they?
“The Great” Charlie Pierce! Hmmm, wonder how to read that. A reader of local sports coverage who is a bit of a pessimist, might reply “There’s no wonder that local writers have been cut off at the knees with access”.
On the other hand, a long time reader of John Clay might say, “What does John mean by that? Why would he just float that out there like that?”
Because there is nothing great about Pierce that I can see.
I think Charlie is a great writer. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I admire his writing.
And if I based my writing on worrying about access, I wouldn’t be giving my readers what I really think, would I?
