Rick Pitino Target of Extortion Attempt: University of Louisville coach Rick Pitino has reported to the FBI an alleged extortion attempt by Karen Sypher, the estranged wife of his equipment manager Tim Sypher. "I am devastated by the bizarre allegations that my estranged wife is making against both coach Pitino and myself," said Tim Sypher in a statement. The allegations by Karen Sypher, pictured on Deadspin, are "of a personal nature, not related to his recruiting or coaching," Louisville TV anchor Candyce Clifft told ESPN.

Funny thing is, when I read the original article I tried to picture what this woman looks like. Turns out that my mental image is not too far off from reality.

Is that a knock? I think the soon-to-be former Mrs. Sypher has a nice Susan Anton thing working under that fab sombrero.

I was envisioning classic "Gold-digger" she fits that.

And, I can see the Susan Anton angle.

Awesome. I love the fact that any subject can be broken down to the level of hotness of the chick in the picture. I'm serious. I think it's awesome.

Good luck with that extortion thing, Pitino.

Her hat is bigger than her skirt.

Obviously she is just pissed that Pitino hasn't put her into the starting rotation.

Either that or she was just trying to get Rick to help her get a slot on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
