[Moderated by Matt Jones, Drew Franklin and Tyler Thompson]
We don’t mean to pick on Jerry…BUT, this video is worth noting. It is the post game interview with the media and Terrence Jones, and the first question is odd to say the least. Tipton asks Terrence if his finger has been used as a crutch for his lackluster play. The good doctor says that Calipari thought the finger was “no big deal” (Did Calipari really say that?) and he asks Jones to comment on that notion. I think I know what Jerry meant to do, but the reaction from Terrence seems to suggest that he didn’t love the question. Either way, asking if someone is using an injury as a crutch is fairly bold…but then again, so is Jerry.

1st and Jerry is POS
January 9th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
and why should we expect anything less from that jack hole??? By the way, Jones
will be the leader of this team before the season is over …..
January 9th, 2012 at 10:08 pm
If you meet Jerry Tipton out and about, it is perfectly acceptable to punch him in the face as hard as you can.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Wtf is wrong with that old man? I dream of a day when a player asks “what the hell kinda question is that, Jerry?”
January 9th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Sounds like a rude question to me!
January 9th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
how do I get a press pass?? Someone needs to slap the sh*t outta that man…
January 9th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Matt, Have you ever said anything to Jerry face to face about what you think about him ????
January 9th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Just once I would like a player to dress him down. Nothing rude, but something like …”Mr. Tipturd, I will start answering your questions when you start showing some respect for this program and stop attempting to cause dissension with the coach or within the team.”
January 9th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
When is KSR going to start calling out Tipton and the LHL for their biased coverage of UK? Fans don’t want the LHL to be a cheerleader, but enough is enough. How about just some fairness from them?. Come on KSR (and Drew) do the right thing and ambush Tipton with a camera and make him answer his critics. You can do this Drew! We need you!

Someone needs to punch Jerry Tipton in the face for asking that.

When will the podcast from Poythress/Goodwin game be posted?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
What a worthless waste of oxygen Tipton is. Miserable, bitter, horrid old man. Calling him a “professional journalist” is like calling me a “professional athlete.” He was SO obviously trying to get in Jones’ head and make him doubt his coach’s faith in him. I resent every breath that jerk Tipton breathes.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Good grief….do you get the feeling Tipton…really, really, pinkies crossed, something to go wrong with TJ’s performance?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
When will the podcast from the Poythress/Goodwin game be up?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Pull a Rupp and pull the hl’s credentials for a month….what Tipton does is not within the boundaries of journalistic convention. How the hl continues to defend him is amazing
January 9th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
Tipton needs to find a new place to harrass athletes. Patterson’s truck situation should have been the last chance he had.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Tipton just put words in Cal’s mouth I wonder how he will feel about this?? Tipton is a joke and needs to just go away.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Let’s get #ksrinterviewtipton trending
January 9th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Really? What an absolute flipping JERK. Does he want to be hated? What will it take for UK to completely ban him from interviews?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
perhaps Cal will dress him down at his next press conference
January 9th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
i wish jerry would ask the FED if they mean what they say
January 9th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
Tilpton is good for one thing…he makes Cal wish Gary Parrish was still his beat writer (back at the commercial appeal in mem) or maybe even Calkins…..
January 9th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
That’s a ridiculous question Mr. Tipton…. his finger isn’t even remotely long enough to be used as a crutch.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Lol well played, Reed
January 9th, 2012 at 10:58 pm
I can’t wait for the day when one of them simply says, “why are you here?” dumbass
January 9th, 2012 at 10:58 pm
I love T Jones on this team. The fact that everybody turned an injury into a slump was a bit confusing for me. All the Wildcat faithful should be behind this kid supporting him and encouraging him, not doing what Fu(kin’ Tipton did.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:04 pm
If I was Terrence Jones Dad I would see if Jerry Tipton could his voice recorder for a crutch after
I inserted it up his ass.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
How in the hell is the man employed? If there was one, and I mean one alternative to the LHL, it would be broke. I am so sick of the this liberal rag. Tipton reminds me a of tenured professor. He need to go. I call for civil unrest against him.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Did LSU hire UK’s offensive staff? Uggghh
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 pm
That’s good journalism.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
I’d like to kick Jerry in his dusty ol’ nuts……
January 9th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
Has anyone noticed that The Turtleman sounds just like Spurrier?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
Anyone that has ever seen the movie 61………….the one jerk reporter always wrote negative articles about Roger Maris…………….when asked why, he replied “We all can’t write about the same thing.” I truly think that is Tipton’s mindset more than anything.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
31-actually they kired the guru, krags, to lead the offense. cant imagine why theyre struggling
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 pm
Mr. Turd in the Punch Bowl strikes again.
#32, “good journalism” is objective and dispassionate, not pejorative.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
Somebody should dislocate one of tipton’s fingers and see if he can still type as fast as he does now. Or if he just uses it as an excuse.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
I’m going to start boycotting companies who advertise in the Lexington Herald. #BoycottHeraldAdvertisers
January 9th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Any coach at UK should NEVER let Tipton within 100 feet of any Kentucky player!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:36 pm
Khem Birch to UNLV….guess the Florida loss to Tenn made up his mind.

Tipton is a great reporter. NOT!!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
I’d like to see Alan Cutler punch Jerry Tipton in the mouth sometime. We could take up a collection to pay his bail. Who’s with me? Come on Alan, do it and the entire BBN will love you forever!!! LOL
January 9th, 2012 at 11:55 pm
ROLL MF TIDE
January 9th, 2012 at 11:58 pm
I think we would all be better if Tipton was in the unemployment line, and not allowed to cover anything UK related again.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:12 am
Jones should have said “Jerry, how bout i dislocate one of yours and you tell me how much it hurts”.
Crap like this, and yet Matt, you continue to allow Aaron to blindlink tipturd on nearly a daily basis on KSR, even though the majority of us have complained very vocally in the comment sections every time it happens. Matt, brother i love ya, and i really like coming here, but don’t you think it’s time to stop supporting his antics and let the old flake go down the drain? I mean, i don’t mind having him linked here as long as the writers tell us up front we are clicking a tipturd, and they all do except for Aaron. Read the comments sections man, most of us will even thank a writer for letting us know it’s him just so we don’t click and support the jerk.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:20 am
Thanks for posting this video. Tipton words his question in such a way that Jones can’t win with his answer. If he agrees with what Calipari supposedly said about his finger not being a big deal, then he is saying he was using his finger as a crutch. But if he disagrees, then he is saying his coach was wrong. Either way, Jones is put in a bad light. Not cool of Tipton at all. But I’m sure he thinks it’s his job to do it.

Jerry Tipton is an @SS!!!
January 10th, 2012 at 12:24 am
JERRY TIPTON IS AN IRRELEVANT IDIOT.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:33 am
Tipton is indeed a gob ‘o spit, but guess what, these kids are going to face questions like that as they proceed to the NBA.
TJ is a very talented and very shy young man. Putting up with inane questions and learning how to handle them is part of the learning process.
As pejorative as the question was, that’s just a drop in the bucket.
If you’re TJ, you learn to shrug off the petty attempts to get under your skin and are stronger for the experience.
Sometimes reporters are like dogdick gnats…bothersome but relatively insignificant.
Besides, a free press is never a bad thing.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:38 am
Geez, I don’t know? Do you use our program to manufacture crap so you can relive some former glory of your youth? You know, like a crutch.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:38 am
Some of these interviews are just painful to watch, not even factoring in loaded questions like Jerry’s… Can’t imagine being that young and having all those microphones and cameras shoved in your face after you just got done playing your tail off for your team.. This gives me mad respect for these players more than I already had for their talents on the floor
January 10th, 2012 at 12:40 am
I think Cal did say it was “no big deal” in one of his on court after the game interviews with Tom Leach. It was stated in the sense of “no excuses” Terrence can still perform, etc, etc.
For Jerry Tipton to misuse that statement to attempt to “stir the pot” and see if he can cause trouble is vintage Tipton. He is a sour old man who reminds me of “Mr. Potter” from “It’s a Wonderful Life”….a miserable, pathetic old man. Actually, I pity him …. he is a comical figure and laughed at by so many. Don’t let him get to you.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:46 am
Jerry Tipton uses the hardened stool in his diaper as a crutch.
What’s the difference?
January 10th, 2012 at 12:59 am
If you see Jerry Tipton out punch him in the face ….with a chair OOOOHHHH Yeeaah!
January 10th, 2012 at 1:10 am
Tipton sucks pretty hard. He should be banned from interviewing the players if he’s going to play mind games with them and bring them down.

It’s a common misperception (I had it myself) that when you “pop” a dislocated finger back into place, everything is fine. WRONG. I dislocated my left index finger the last week of Oct. (playing basketball, guy jumped into one of my passes) and it still swells daily and the PIP joint is far from being healed.
If you don’t have bone damage, you can still have ligament and soft tissue damage that may eventually require surgery. Because Terrence has it buddy-taped, it keeps some pressure off the finger but he’ll likely have to ice it the rest of the season because the strain of catching passes and shooting with it causes it to swell and prolongs the healing process. Another thing is they usually set a dislocated finger at about 30 degrees, which changes how the ball leaves your hand on shots and passes. Maybe if Tipton would do a little basic research, he wouldn’t ask stupid questions.

BURN DOWN THE HERALD LEADER BUILDING!!
January 10th, 2012 at 7:19 am
46. This is a Kentucky board, updyke. Go back to your bammer boards and discuss how nick saban plans on having enough money to pay both the NCAA and his new players.
Oh right, UAT boosters as usual.
January 10th, 2012 at 7:51 am
Typical Tipton in every sense of the word. For no matter how Terrence told him it would’ve have been a wrong answer….SO…. What TJ should’ve done in return was ask JT, Your editor says it’s no big deal BUT Does the Hearld Leader know you go around sniffing little boy’s bicycle seats?
January 10th, 2012 at 7:55 am
#12, you hit it on the head. Media members think everyone should have consequences for what they do or say, except them. Someone should whip crater faces ass and a whole lot more of these journalist.
January 10th, 2012 at 7:59 am
I CAN’T STAND TO EVEN SEE HIS NAME. I wish someone would knock him out. He makes me sick.Screw him and the hearld loser. Screw you Tipturd!!!!!!!!!
January 10th, 2012 at 8:03 am
I have a question, does UK HAVE TO GIVE HIM ACCESS TO THE PLAYERS? If so, why not instruct the players to answer “no comment” no matter what he ask. He is the biggest jerk I have ever seen and I only wish bad things for him.
January 10th, 2012 at 8:05 am
Jerry is a -ucktard but we all know T Jones QUIT !! we all know it it will not hurt him to answer those ???????s
January 10th, 2012 at 8:06 am
Perfect Rebuttle Question:
I don’t know, Jerry. How has an article 25 years ago been used as a crutch for you to be a perpetual jack@$$?
January 10th, 2012 at 8:36 am
until Jerry Tipton is no longer a HL employee there will be a large number of my friends, self included of course, that will not subscribe to the HL. How can any UK fan possibly subscribe to a newspaper that has a writer who is so damn biased against all things UK!
January 10th, 2012 at 10:26 am
Jerry Tipton is such a tool, but dude has balls the size of bowling balls for the stuff he asks players. you have to respect that at least.
That being said, what a stupid question.
January 10th, 2012 at 10:58 am
@ Matt, are you afraid to call him out for what he does, consequently burning a bridge with a media non-factor? Cut your losses and do the program a favor by calling Tipton out for what he is – a negative hack. You can’t pick and choose when you want to represent the larger opinions of BBN. If you do, eventually BBN will turn on you as well.
January 10th, 2012 at 11:16 am
61- I am with you, “Occupy LHL”, and burn it!
January 10th, 2012 at 11:56 am
if a occupy LHL is started and REALLY PUSHED and let it be known that it will not stop until Tipton is fired…it will happen….start it…lets do this….lets see how much of influence u really have Jones!!!
January 10th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
I agree with 73, count me in!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screw Tipton, jackass
