The C.L. Show Brown Show

What could Duke's Amazon streaming deal mean for UofL basketball?

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features new Kentucky football coach Will Stein, making his second appearance on the podcast but first since taking over at UK.

Stein speaks on the demands of the job, including how he used the time between a set change at a Morgan Wallen concert to FaceTime a recruit. He details what he views as the biggest difference between coaching today's players and how he was coached as a player. And he discusses how his playing days at Louisville may have been different had the transfer portal and name, image and likeness (NIL) been around back then.

How new UK football coach Will Stein handles recruiting big targets

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features former Courier Journal columnist Jerry Brewer, who is currently a senior columnist with The Athletic.

Brewer explains why the Preakness Stakes has to move in order to keep the Triple Crown relevant. He also tells why Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby continues to be the crown jewel of horse racing.

Politics and sports often intersect on the playing field, but Brewer lays out why he doesn't expect Black athletes to start boycotting Southern schools en masse due to gerrymandered districts that have peeled back representation.
