August 27, 200917 yr What law has he went above. I don't recall him breaking the law. Who cares about any law he broke or didn't break, he broke a solemn oath to his wife that he made in front of God and his/her family. A man is only as good as his word, and at the moment his word is worth very little!

A man is only as good as his word, and at the moment his word is worth very little! I agree and people just completely throw out this guy coaches 17-21 year old kids. Parents send there kids across country trusting him to protect and guide them. As a coach, teacher, you are held to a higher standard.
August 27, 200917 yr This story is still out there because it hasn't gone to trial. So the time between now and then will be pure media fun. This lady is crazy enough to skip that plea deal. It is my understanding that plea agreements are very difficult to push through in a federal case. When Rick Pitino contacted the FBI (in his preemptive strike), he greatly stacked the deck against him getting to plea bargain. She pleaded "not guilty" and that is why all Rick's dirty laundry is being aired. I am of the opinion that Rick's presser today is again a preemptive strike for the next bomb that Karen Sypher is getting ready to drop. I have seen him deal with the press for years and this is Rick Pitino running true to form. A big Sypher bomb will detonate shortly, in my opinion.
August 27, 200917 yr I'm torn. I think that many are missing his point, in that I think he wants to spare his family the constant repetition of the story. I think he's also anxious to have the truths he alludes to revealed. I think he's in a situation he's unfamiliar with...one in which he has no control. Yes, he messed up royally. Yes, he deserves criticism. But I'm not sure I agree that his "comeuppance" should be the embarrassment of his family in the media, day after day after day. Of course, the media is doing their job, and it is a sensational, salicious story. I don't necessarily agree with him attacking the media. But I can certainly understand how he feels. I'm shocked...
August 27, 200917 yr By calling out the media, it makes all of them want to do everything they can to find more problems for him. I can see Alan Cutler working out right now to "Eye of the Tiger" and just thinking about how he'll nail Pitino. :lol: You took the words right out of my mouth.:lol:

BTW, Pat Forde said in so many words that RP's show didn't go over very well...that says a lot.

August 27, 200917 yr It was obvious to me that Rick's ego is busting loose. He knows he can charm to socks off a rattlesnake (up until now) and went solo on this one. TACTICAL ERROR, in my opinion! Am I correct in saying Dr. Ramsey, Tom Jurich, Steve Pence, and others in the Pitino camp were not there in support of Rick's solo act?

I think that other women will come out at some point, but that is not what Ricky P. is attempting to diffuse. He specifically referred to Karen Sypher telling lies so it references something she is about to go public with. I think the other women will come out of this at some point.........just not yet.

August 27, 200917 yr So this means the Chemistry professor that is cheating on his wife should be formally punished too then, correct? Correct. If a teacher is teaching my kid they have to walk a fine line in order for me to trust them to educate and guide my kid to do things the right way. The Pitino and cheerleader rumors went on for years... this is not a shock he just finally got caught.
