The contemptible Sports Guy, Bill Simmons, talked about Coach Pitino in his latest Page 2 entry,

"By the way, maybe my HD picture is especially good, but is anyone aging stranger than Rick Pitino? It's like seeing one of those bad movies that spans a period of time -- like the crappy Prefontaine movie with Jared Leto -- where they use makeup to "age" the actors for a scene 20 years later, only the makeup people did a crappy job and every scene is completely disorienting. I don't think Pitino's been outside since 1989."

While I usually disagree with damn near everything this Boston-sport-cocksucking talking head has to say, I agr.. I agr.., I cant say it. Bill Simmons is a douche.

That being said, I have noticed the decline in appearance of Coach Pitino, especially during the broadcasts of the Big East tournament. For five years, I have heard from countless people saying, "Wow, Coach Pitino is looking old." I always responded in kind, "Well, he's getting old. Thats what happens. He's no spring chicken." (What the f is a spring chicken anyway?) Recently, he hasnt looked healthy to me. Everyone knows that there has been plenty of tragedy and stress for Pitino, enough to take its toll on the strongest of men. Or maybe its the cigars, sucking the color and life out of his face. Or maybe its my sweet ass 42inch plasma HD, opening up a window of clarity that had been closed, boarded, and bricked over before. (Seriously how do you rubes live with those tubey, blocky, grandma boxes. HD is the balls.)

Oh well. I guess this is open for discussion. And some people might not say they agree. But one fact remains that we can all agree on, Bill Simmons sucks.
