"The Legend of Kragthorpe"

Well, first off, let me get this off my chest... Mr. Petrino, you are forgiven! I forgive you! I know you didn't necessarily tell the thurth. But I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing in the same situation, if the NFL was THE GOAL! So, you are forgiven, and I will root for you at the Falcons. But you better win, because given your lack of "savvy" with the media, they'll crush you if you don't win. They're not as nice as us here in Louisville.

OK, that being said... many listeners have e-mailed to talk about how they weren't quite happy with the lack of name recognition in Jurich's new football hire.

Well, we've decided that his name was very well recognized, just not in football. We've started a ficticious "Legend of Kragthorpe." And the word on the street... there are a lot of great things that Kragthorpe has done. The following fables are from today's show (by me, or producer Nasty Nate, or callers and e-mailers):

• "Kragthorpe once scored 100 points in a basketball game... with a broken leg... in the first half."
• "Kragthorpe once drove a car 300 miles an hour... without stepping on the gas pedal."
• "Kragthorpe regularly gives Hugh Hefner advice on women."
• "Kragthorpe invented the iPod."
• "Kragthorpe started the fad of wearing a headband, which was then copied by former Bears quarterback Jim McMahon, and hey, McMahon won a Super Bowl."
• "Kragthorpe once caught five touchdown passes in one quarter... two of which were thrown by Kragthorpe."

Check back for more on Wednesday. It's all done in fun. We'll continue the "Legend of Kragthorpe" so everyone knows that name recognition is no problem.
