LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday a sex scandal involving a woman accused of trying to extort millions from him has been "pure hell" for his family, fuming that newly released video of her police interview revived her "total fabrication."
Pitino spoke at a hastily called news conference hours after Louisville police released audio and video recordings of phone calls and an interview with Karen Cunagin Sypher, the woman at the heart of the scandal. Pitino has told police that he had sex with her six years ago.

I ordered the linguini and got..... instead!
“Rick Pitino responded to a news report against his lawyers’ advice.”
He should have listened to his lawyer.
I never liked Pitino.
I do think this lady set him up, but that doesn’t excuse any of and he doesn’t sound particularly sorry.
Yeah, well, Rick, you can just take a great big dose of shut the h*ll up. As a native Kentuckian and a UK Wildcats fan, you were a favorite. Now, you’re just a freak.
I feel for your family but you....you caused every bit of this. So man up.
Rick, sit down and follow your lawyer's advice, stfu.
Now Richard...Had you been a man and kept “Little Richard” zipped up, none of this would’ve happened. You screwed up, and now you’re paying for it.
Patino spoke out in honor of Ted Kennedy.
Your new guy is a HUGE SNAKE as well.
Pitino, Vick, Stallworth. Football is sick. College and Pro.
Pitino coached UK BASKETBALL.
Geeesh, I’m just pissed at football this morning. Some coach done bad, well that has to be football.
You know what, I don’t even know who the new coach is...other then it’s John something (I think). Since we moved to NE Ohio everything (and I do mean everything) is Lebron James. Once my oldest two graduated college in Ky, I stopped paying attention to UK sports.
How is the new guy a snake?
LOL - no harm, just gave me a much needed laugh this morning. Thanks for that!
Y'all will turn on Calipari when he's finished also. Not only is he a very mediocre in-game bench coach, he's left every college job he's ever had in NCAA trouble. Of course NCAA trouble and disgrace is nothing new for the University of Kentucky, the dirtiest program in the history of basketball.
...Gillespie’s DUI. Spygate. Steroids. On and on...
Sometimes I feel like a hypocriate for caring about sports. But there are also lots of good guys (I love Hines Ward, Albert Pujols, Troy Polamalu, JoePa) to root for...
Thanks for the correction!
Yeah, the Vick hire by the Eagles and the support it has has tugged the beard of my goat, and he kicked me in the gut. That hurts. Then someone on another forum excused Stallworth’s homicide by claiming he “witnessed a suicide”.
That’s SICK. Rich spoiled brat Stallworth was drunk, driving a Bentley at at least 10 mph over the speed limit, late at night, and ran into a hard working construction worker getting off his shift and racing to catch a *bus*.
Now some doe-eyed idiot fans mock the memory of a poor hard working family man in order to defend a drunken spoiled rich boy lout?
I’ve had enough! I’m sick of such attitude.
Oh, What I first meant to reply to yours was if not for Joe Paterno and the few stand-up men and women of such caliber and fame — I would give up on football.
count me as a proud Penn State alum!
