According to Rick Bozich, via his Courier-Journal.com blog, Drew Deener will replace the powertool Ari Wolfe as the new play-by-play man for Louisville Cardinals basketball and football telecasts. Deener currently hosts the morning radio program The Earlybirds on 790 AM WKRD, but has previously worked on television for WHAS-11. He will join Doug James for football and Bob Valvano for basketball.

Welcome aboard Drew and please, I beg you, know the football and basketball rosters!!!

Everyone knows my opinion of Ari Wolfe, but in case you do not, here is a brief synopsis: He’s a cordless powertool. Despite those feelings, I did not wish him any ill-will and definitely did not wish he lose his job. Since 2005, he has consistently misidentified players, made awful comments, or asked a coach on live TV about a specific recruit prior to that kid even verbally committed (asked Coach Krags about Matt Simms). But as time went on, it became somewhat endearing.

Even though I view Ari Wolfe as a tool, and for the record he is, I wish him the best in all his future endeavors. From everyone here at the Pinkie, best of luck Ari!

He will be heard from again and when it happens, people will be aggravated
