Get him outa there
52Mike Klein
Jerry Tipton needs to be unbiased in his reporting even tho he dislikes UK.I don't know why he hates UK and don't care. It should not be allowed in his reporting.The LHL is the Lex. paper and there should be place for an anti UK agenda.
53Kevin Jones
Agree with everybody, go bunk with Dukie V Tipton!
54Stuart Baskett
To hell with you Jerry.
55Rob Grubbs
56ron salier
Normally a controversy
such as this at any business will result in the removal of the flagrant party..so come on Herald run your paper like a business and fire tipton...
57Troy Southworth
Mr. Tipton is biased in his reporting & needs to move on. It's a shame when you get better UK news at the Louisville Courier Journal than our own "hometown ??" newspaper.
58Dan Mabe
Making the father of a newly committed player uncomfortable, unwelcome and second guess his sons decision to play at UK is wrong! You have embarrassed yourself, Lexington and the state of Kentucky. You need to go!
59Kyle Brewer
You are the reason that a Louisville paper is the best source for UK basketball print media.
60Raymond Gossett
simply put: Tipton is not welcomed here anylonger.
61Robert Milward
Tipton is as unprofessional as they come.
62James Barlow
Other papers are capable of producing fair, balanced, and accurate coverage of Kentucky basketball. Why not the Herald-Leader?
63Jerry Roberts
My answer would be to stop buying the LHL and start buying the courier journal. The courier journal is unbiased toward UK and UL.
64Louis Mitchell
Tipton does not need to be reporting on UK sports. How a local paper can employ a reporter who damages the reputation of the local university is beyond me.
65Randy Hudson
Integrity?
66Wayne Fields
Your commenting SUCKS!
67Dave Santiago
Enough's enough.
68jordache
Should tipton really be the hometown writer for UK? I think not folks!

It it truly a disgrace to journalistic integrity when one has to read a Louisville newspaper to find informative and unbiased reporting of UK sports. Fire Tipton or do away with that piece of editorialized junk you call a sports section.
71A.Y. Shively
Your comments are terrible about UK basketball!
72T.W. Williams
Go back to West Virginia, Tipton. You mess with Billy Clyde,then you're messin' with the BBN.
73Brandon McGarrell
74Wanda Clemons
His news is usually 2 days late and then its biased.
75Kevin Bryan
Tipton is terrible.
76Recon Marine
Tipton is the poster child for the bias and unethical behavior promoted by the LHL.

In my opinion there should be some sort of investigation launched against the LHL.

81Freddie Johnson
I hate what he is trying to do at UK
82David Maxwell
Journalist, then write the facts. Columnist, then why be anti UK in the middle of UK country. You can ask tough questions, but you have to remember your audience. I am a UK fan, and I want to read good UK stories? How about UK players in Europe?
83David Manco
He needs to retire and leave the UK program alone.
84Jonathan Sailor
I'm getting tired of this.
85Max Allen
I am sick and tired of Tipton and the LHL constantly showing their anti-UK attitude, particularly towards the new coach, and always against UK fans. CANCEL your subscription!!!
86K. Travis
I take the Lexington Leader and get it a day late, so I won't have to read the anti-UK articles by Rich Bozich, but JT's articles are even worse. It's past time for Mr. Tipton TO GO!!!!!K. Travis
87Amye Carder
88Mike Rains
It's one thing for a sports writer to disagree or even dislike a particular coach. It is something totally different for a writer to let his or her persinel feelings interfere with their supposedly objective reporting. Jerry Tipton is a disgrace
89Lindsey Fair
Clearly this man demonstrates not only unprofessionalism in his articles but bias directed at the University of Kentucky. Ethics and impartiality are thrown out the window in his writings.
He is a disgrace to the Herald and should be shown the door.
90DeWayne Reed
It is one thing to report the truth, at times it is hurtful and harmful to either an individual or an institution like UK, don?t' like it but true facts are true facts and that can not be changed. When it?s made personal that's a whole other story.

91Randy Martin
Tipton has an agenda.
He is not being an impartial reporter.
If the LHL chooses to keep writers like this on their staff,
soon they will see a drastic loss in subscriptions.

93Tim Flynn
Tipton has been an ass towards UK since day one, he is unprofessional and this should cost him his job at UK home newspaper.
94Ken Grizzle
I have read the LHL for 20+ years. he has been anti-UK since he finally learned to type. As soon as my current subscription runs out I will no longer give them my business nor will I support any of those who advertise in their paper.
95Terry Willoughby
If your a Kentuckian and subscribing to the LHL drop it immediately. Support the University of Kentucky by doing so.
96Mike Hunt
Take a hike Tipton! You hate us 'cause you AIN'T us!
97Wallace Allen
How can this "writer" be allowed to continue this nonsense?
98Rob Pelphrey
Would never buy the LHL in print, now will never visit kentucky.com again.
99Lowell Watson
I just cannot for the life of me imagine why someone with an anti-UK agenda would be hired as the beat writer for them.
100Hardin Long
Tipton's got a stiff one for BCG.
