Tim Masthay, a former Murray High Tiger, "won the game for us," Packers general manager Ted Thompson told Judy Keen of USA Today, who went on to write, "Masthay, 23, was an undrafted free agent from Kentucky who was cut by the Indianapolis Colts in 2009. The Packers signed him a year ago. Before he got the call, he had been working as a tutor for $10 an hour at Kentucky while his wife, Amanda, supported the couple with a job as a bank teller." (By the way, we were recently in Murray and swung by the old football field, and it is so terrific.)
Just say no.
Among the suggestions to some folks considering a move to central Kentucky was one town of which I'd never heard and immediately mispronounced. Fire has a lot to do with how the country reshaped itself in the 1800s.
Jeffrey Lee Puckett's compelling Loretta Lynn feature in The Courier-Journal is like a flash forward to what Rube might be saying in a feature 50 years from now: "'Me and Doo went back and stayed some when we was in Washington,' she said, calling from her ranch in Tennessee. 'We'd stay a couple, three months at a time, but I haven't lived there and I do miss old Kentucky. I really do. I want me and Crystal and my other two sisters to go spend a week or two up in that holler, just stay in the old house, cook and build pallets on the floor and just have a good time. We're planning on doing that some time.'"
And here's the story of another interesting career.
