John Clay’s Sidelines

Randall Cobb

WLEX’s Alan Cutler and UK sophomore Randall Cobb have had a little back-and-forth on Facebook, according to Cutler.

Alan says Randall posted something on his account about having a strong dislike for the media.

Then Alan gave his reply.

I was there today at practice when Randall was being asked questions. He was asked if he wanted to be quarterback, and agree with Alan that he handled it well. (Randall always does.) Didn’t think there was malice in the question.

I do think that in the midst of a three-game losing streak, coming off a game the team thought it should have won Saturday, fuses are a bit short around the UK camp.

Alan Cutler

Bad news for WLEX’s Alan Cutler. The Cincinnati Enqurier reports that the Lexington-based sportscaster was among the layoffs announced Tuesday by Clear Channel, the mammoth radio group based in San Antonio.

Alan was doing a morning show on WCKY-AM and had for the last eight years been the host of the Cincinnati Bengals radio network. He was also doing some fill-in work on the Reds network.

Clear Channel also laid off Cincinnati Enquirer sports columnist Paul Daugherty, who for the past two years had been the host of WLW’s nightly sports talk show from 6 p.m. to 9. Doc had also done the Extra Innings show after Reds’ games during the week.

Also laid off were Clear Channel bloggers, including C. Trent Rosecrans, who had worked for the Cincinnati Post.
