Yeah, it's kind of contradicting of ESPN to be all over this story, yet a few weeks ago refused to say a peep about the Ben Roethlisberger. Hmmm.....

it's contradicting but it may also be that the media doesn't have enough material on this to make a huge story out of it. maybe i'm wrong about that..............
Am I the only one who saw this thread under "new posts" but didn't notice it was the Sports forum... and was very happy to learn that it wasn't announcing a sequel to that awful movie?

Lol. Give Anders the credit. Very intuitive title on his part.
The only thing that I find interesting in all this is how alot of folks and the media find it more important/relevant that he had sex with another woman that was not his wife than the fact that she tried to extort him out of $10 million...go figure.
Yeah, first post. I wanted the message at the top of the screen to go away but didn't have much to say.That's your first post?
The attempted extortion isn't the most interesting part of this. She wasn't just some random woman. They had a history, and that is what is fascinating. Look at it this way. The woman tries to extort Pitino and claims he raped her. The only way for him to vindicate himself is to tell the whole ugly truth about what really went on. This woman will be forgotten soon enough, I already can't remember her name. Pitino goes on, but with all his dirty laundry known to the public. It's like what happened with the SC governor who went to Argentina. The only way for him to explain what was going on was to fall on his sword.
Ah, ok. We have a thread for new people to post in if you want to. http://www.satelliteguys.us/chit-chat-club/48367-welcome-new-members-please-say-hi-here-215.html
It's a news story more than a sports story, but a significant one nonetheless. I agree with Sandra that this reveals a lot about Pitino's character and may influence recruiting decisions down the road. (I won't even get into the whole Catholic/abortion issue....)
Hasn't hurt Isiah Thomas has it?
Ahhh but you seem to be ignoring the biggest elephant in the room....
The fact that Rick gave the mistress "hush money" for an abortion. If it were only a simple thing like him cheating on his wife, the nation would've had it's fill of the story after 1 day. Everyone in public, from politicians to sports figures all seem to cheat on a daily basis (there's a new one in the news every day it seems), but handing over $3k for an abortion, that's a new one....
It has. He went from the NBA to some no name college in Florida. (No offense Salsa).

None taken.....
Because they were a no-name university. But it did not effect Thomas in recruiting...and that was the question asked....if anything, it has HELPED FIU.
...it would depend on your views on abortion...which we will not get into. I mean whether you are for or against it....trying to extort someone for $10 million due to a false rape accussation.
None taken.....
With what? Has Thomas recruited well? I haven't been paying attention. The only thing I've heard out of FIU is all the talk about Bikini Wash Fund Raisers.
