What is up with Pitino?
Ok, as Marty alluded to last week, the Pitino story is starting to get weird.
Kentucky Sports Radio.com has photos that appeared and then disappeared from the Louisville Courier-Journal website yesterday. Pictured below is Karen Sypher’s son (?), the woman charged with extorting Pitino, holding a sign “What’s the price of an abortion?”. Supposedly this photo appeared on the Journal-Courier’s website yesterday, but was taken down and later replaced by a cropped version removing Sypher’s son(?). Here is the original:
From the Louisville Courier-Journal:
Sypher faces up to two years in prison if convicted on charges that she had another person call Pitino in February and threaten to go public with allegations of “a criminal nature” against him. She faces another five years for allegedly lying to the FBI when she said she didn’t know who had made the calls for her.
In a complaint filed April 23, an FBI agent said Sypher had demanded that Pitino pay off her house, pay for her children’s college, give her $3,000 a month in cash and buy her two cars of her choice.
But a month after the story broke, Sypher’s allegations against Pitino still have not been made public.
No clue what the hell is going on for sure in Kentucky, but man what a mess. Nice for a change that Iowa or Iowa State is not attached to the story.
