Not hockey related but it caught my interest.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It started as a fling between a former model and a famous (and married) college basketball coach at the table of an Italian restaurant after closing time.
Now the woman, Karen Cunagin Sypher, heads to trial Monday on charges that she tried to extort University of Louisville coach Rick Pitino, allegedly demanding college tuition for her children, having her house paid off and $10 million for her silence.
The trial could sort out who's telling the truth in the sordid affair that dragged down the reputation of the coach, who leads one of the two biggest teams in basketball-mad Kentucky.
Prosecutors say they plan to use multiple witnesses, secretly recorded conversations and testimony from Pitino to prove that Sypher is guilty of multiple charges, including threatening communications with the intent to extort, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness.
My question is what is wrong with people today? First, I guess marriage vows means nothing anymore. Second, you're a head coach of a high profile college basketball program what the hell are you thinking? Morons!
