15 Second Rule

I've been meaning to get to this, but just in case you were wondering I LOVE that Rick Pitino being nothing more than a hypocritical dirtball scumbag is now officially public record. One of the things that makes Pitino absolutely deplorable is that he will use death as a means to try and convince people that he's a nice guy, and/or people should leave him alone. His list of deaths that he's used over the years include his late son Daniel's death of a congenital heart defect at the age of 6 months, his brother in law Billy Minardi's death on 9/11, and even Ted Kennedy's death when Pitino had his infamous press conference when told the media to stop reporting these "lies". Pitino, who once wrote a self-help book called (and I'm not making this up) "Success Is A Choice" despite running the Boston Celtics into the ground as well as have a "holier than thou" arrogantly catholic approach to his life and family, while being the subject of numerous recruiting violations over the years.

Now comes word that Mister Integrity himself not only has affairs (albeit 15 seconds worth) outside of his perfect marriage - even though once again he demanded that the media stop reporting these "lies" - but also didn't mind putting aside those supposed die hard catholic beliefs aside so that his WHOOOOARE could have an abortion.

Deadspin and Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio are covering the public flogging of Pitino like a blanket, and they couldn't have found a more deserving target. No one escapes their past Rick, especially when it's built on lies and hypocrisy.
