Deadspin has a good take on Rick Pitino’s bizarre and ill-conceived press conference today in which the Louisville basketball coach — you know, the one who admitted to adultery and paying $3,000 for health insurance (wink, wink) for the woman — scolded the media for covering the story.
Apparently, we are only to report what Rick says, because that’s the only thing that’s true.
Deadspin excerpt:
Pitino lashed out at the media for interrupting Ted Kennedy Day to report “lies” about him. Everything is a lie except for the stuff that Rick Pitino said, so why don’t you print that in your pinko commie rags?
Here’s my column on the petulant Pitino.
