Just a couple of quick notes that I couldn’t get to Saturday because of the Kentucky-Louisville football game:

– Several former Kentucky football players have survived final cuts in the NFL as rosters are trimmed down to their regular-season allotment of 53. The biggest news from UK’s side of things is former UK punter Tim Masthay made the Green Bay Packers’ roster and is slated to be the team’s starting punter. Fullback John Conner (New York Jets), cornerback Trevard Lindley (Philadelphia Eagles) and Jeremy Jarmon (Washington Redskins) all made the roster. Alfonso Smith was the ony casualty this weekend as the Arizona Cardinals cut the former Kentucky tailback to get down to 53.  Update: Former UK linebacker Micah Johnson also made the Miami Dolphins’ final roster. Congrats to all the former Wildcats.
