    That would be blackmail, not extortion, right? What's intriguing is that her estranged husband says that she's also making "bizarre allegations" against him. It'll be interesting to see if Pitino can stomp this all out before the woman's story comes to light.
     
  2. $10 says Calipari's behind the whole thing.
    (Nice spoof, TSP, by the way.)

    Somebody should tell Rick Pitino F. Lee Bailey's not walking through that door.

    Kentucky Being Invaded Day is two weeks from yesterday.

    Maybe one day the invaders will stick around long enough to liberate Louisville from the rest of the commonwealth.

    Hmm. Don't mess with Rick. Even if she's got the facts on film, he'll find a way out of this one. And she just might be sorry ...

    Weird. Sounds like the husband, a close friend of Pitino's, was involved to some extent, according to the FBI affidavit. But not charged... yet.

    The AP story I read referenced a 2003 "encounter". Not justifying any of the crime, but keep your Rick in your pants.
