It's not been a good couple of weeks to be a current or former UK basketball coach. John Calipari had his second Final Four vacated by the NCAA. Rick Pitino embarrassed himself with a press conference. Billy Gillispie got picked up for DUI. It's probably safe to assume Eddie Sutton was drunk somewhere as well, although I haven't read about it anywhere. Somebody probably cussed Tubby because Saul exists. We can't leave out Joe B. Hall. What could possibly have happened to jolly ole Joe B.? I'm guessing prostate trouble.
Nice pic Billy. Is it me or has Billy gained weight since getting canned?
In what I considered one of the stupidest things Pitino has ever pulled off, he called a press conference to ask the media to quit reporting lies. He called a press conference that was televised by all the major sports networks and tv stations across the state to say that he was tired of the negative attention. This story was pretty much dead (to my surprise) until Rick gave it new life. Does Rick not realize that most people think Karen Sypher is crazy? The coverage being shown was only reinforcing those thoughts. Once again Rick brought up a national tragedy to deflect some of the attention to his "indiscretion 6 years ago". This time it was the death of Ted Kennedy. Last time is was 9/11. It makes one wonder what dastardly deed Rick pulled off during Hurricane Katrina. What was this scoundrel up to back when the space shuttle exploded? There are so many tragic events left for Rick to turn to. I've gotta believe this isn't the last presser we're gonna see. Rick also informed us that anything we are told is a lie, unless it was something he told us. Thanks Rick. Play on, Playa!!!!!!
