The News of the Day: Cheaters Edition

Rick Pitino cheats on his wife whenever he gets a chance.

Everybody hates a cheater. Whether you are cheating on the ACT, cheating on your spouse or significant other or cheating at Risk: The Game of World Domination, everybody hates you. Here are a few headlines regarding cheaters on this lovely day:

  • Everybody remembers Floyd Landis, right? He is the American cyclist that won the Tour de France in 2006 after Lance Armstrong retired and nobody thought another American would win in a long, long time. Well, Floyd was stripped of his title because officials found that he had used doping to gain an advantage. Landis denied this for years and now he has finally come out and admitted to his wrong doing. Not only has he admitted it, he has thrown former USA teammate Armstrong under the bus and said that the two doped together in 2002. This is going to get ugly.
  • USC may be vacating their 2004 national championship due to Reggie Bush receiving money while he played for the Trojans. Bush's parents were living in a $1 million home while Bush was the running back. The family did not have the means to afford this home which sent up red flags. Bush may also have to vacate his Heisman Trophy. The questions remain: will the runner-up in each case receive the national title and the Heisman? Only time will tell.
  • The Lakers beat the tar out of the Suns again last night. While the Lakers have never been accused of our caught cheating, Kobe Bryant cheated on his wife and I hate the effing Lakers. I just hope that when the Celtics and the Lakers meet in the finals, Rajon Rondo has the series of his life and sends the Lake-Show packing back to L.A.

  1. Speaking of cheaters, you might as well throw in Coach Cal's name, if not for the Vacated Final Fours, but for the tampering with another school's verbal commit.

    But hey, that's how Cal rolls, and since he's at UK, it's all cool. I mean, he tried to go after a kid who verballed to the Cards to be a freakin' walk-on, so it must be something imbedded in his fibers.

    I guarantee you if he was still at Memphis and went poaching for UK players, BBN would be in a rage.
