I Simply Can't Believe Rick Pitino Continues To Not Be Able To Catch A Break
And just like that Rick Pitino catches another L. Look, I’m not happy about this. I wish it never happened. Rick Pitino is one of the five best coaches in the college game when you look at his consistent success. But, he’s been a walking L for a year now. He catches another one with the judge dismissing the lawsuit against Adidas.
I do love the idea here though by Ricky P. After all the shit he went through from the Karen Sypher incident to hookers in the dorm to allegedly paying Brian Bowen $100,000, he files a lawsuit against Adidas for deliberately damaging his character. Yep, it was clearly Adidas who did it. I can’t think of one other reason as to why his character was damaged.
Here’s the ruling:
“Here, the facts underlying Pitino’s tort and contract claims are identical: both claims are based on Adidas’s alleged bribing of a University of Louisville basketball recruit or his family,” Hale wrote. “… Given this standard and the shared factual basis between the claims, the Court finds that the claim asserted here is ‘at least arguably covered by’ the Endorsement Agreement.”
All of this just reminded me that Pitino has a book coming out in September and will be joining Twitter. We’re truly living in the best time ever. I’m so excited for Pitino to be on Twitter to see guys like PFT and Big Cat make jokes (not about that one thing though) at his expense.
