Sooo many things are awesome about this cover. Who is that child? Why is Karen holding her? Why is Karen wearing a corsage? Oh God, is that her holding her aborted child in heaven?!?!
Just in time for the biggest Kentucky/Louisville game in history comes Karen Sypher’s new tell-all book “Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The Karen Sypher Story.”** Here’s the description, from Amazon:
In 2009, Karen Cunagin Sypher was a part of one of the biggest scandals in Louisville, Kentucky history. It involved One-Time professional coach for the Boston Celtics, and the “winningest coach” in the University of Louisville history, Rick Pitino. Read “Karen Sypher’s” story and how the largest cover-up of rape led her from being a victim, to being convicted and sentenced to seven (7) years in prison. The Karen Cunagin Sypher cover-up is at the top of one of the most egregious revenge-plots in American Justice History.
The book retails for $14.99 on Amazon and if you splurge for overnight shipping, you can have it in your little hands tomorrow morning for some pregame reading. If you have a guilty conscience about buying it, it’s okay: part of the proceeds go to rape victims. Here’s an excerpt to whet your appetite:
If you go to Amazon, you can read the first four chapters for free: “Karen’s Life” (Chapters 1 & 2), “The If Factor” (Chapter 3), and “The Mafia Knight” (Chapter 4). The Mafia Knight! Oh, my. One last thing:
** I swear we didn’t make this up. It’s real.

Love the timing of this…
March 29th, 2012 at 11:21 am
Don’t worry Karen, the Cats will hose Pitino for you on Saturday.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:21 am
I bet we won’t find Pitino at a book signing.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:21 am
damn, she used to be bangin’.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:21 am
Yes, you did not make it up. But someone else did, right? Didn’t the court rule on this? Isn’t she in prison?
That guy she’s talking about hung a banner in Rupp (possibly two, really).
March 29th, 2012 at 11:21 am
uhhh…
March 29th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Wow, wonder why it came out at this time?
March 29th, 2012 at 11:23 am
5-Benedict Arnold also won a couple battles before he switched sides too.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:24 am
“if you splurge for overnight shipping” I thignk splurging is how this whole mess got started.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:24 am
YYESS!! I love it!!
GO CATS!!
March 29th, 2012 at 11:26 am
Definitely helps remind everyone that Pitino is not the angel the press is making him out to be this week. I was happy that Bomani reminded everyone on ESPN last night.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:27 am
i guess the tard fans will blame Cal for the timing of this like they do everything else negative that happens to UL.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:28 am
That kid has Ricky P’s eyebrows.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:28 am
I’m no Pitino fan, but can’t he sue like hell for slander if he in fact did not rape her? I guess he’d rather let sleeping dogs lie, but this doesn’t seem to be going away.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:28 am
I will probably only scan through this book in about 15 seconds……..
March 29th, 2012 at 11:29 am
#46,562 in Books . It’s a top 50 thousand book guys
March 29th, 2012 at 11:32 am
i love how the price of the book is 14.99, 1 penny short of 15secs. Just rubbing it in pitino’s face!
March 29th, 2012 at 11:32 am
she is nutty as a shithouse rat
March 29th, 2012 at 11:32 am
I don’t like Pitino but this is absurd and I don’t wish this BS on anybody.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:33 am
Classy
March 29th, 2012 at 11:34 am
14…it should not ever go away…great coach,lousy husband,father and human being…
March 29th, 2012 at 11:34 am
shes hot.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:34 am
19, i agree
March 29th, 2012 at 11:35 am
Wow. Can you say libel?
March 29th, 2012 at 11:35 am
12 – Better make sure they don’t ship this book to you via UPS!
March 29th, 2012 at 11:37 am
I thought there was a law you couldn’t profit from a crime. He was convicted of extortion no?
March 29th, 2012 at 11:38 am
She is Nuttier than a squirrel turd
March 29th, 2012 at 11:40 am
This is simultaneously horrible and hilarious
March 29th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Wow. Not ALL blondes are crazy, but enough are that, please, TT, stay brunette.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:42 am
God, even most Cats fans wish this woman would just go away. Don’t think that’s gonna happen.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:43 am
My favorite line: “Karen had never been raped before and had never been in that situation.” The way that reads you’d think such an experience is just a typical part of womanhood.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:47 am
So let me get this straight…she is saying that he raped her? Rape? Is that correct? He raped her that night & not made love. It was rape…rape. he raped her? Is that the point she is making that it was rape? I’m a little unclear by her story. She’s pulling the rape card. I know girls like her, their called whores
March 29th, 2012 at 11:48 am
Some jokes just write themselves….no pun intended
March 29th, 2012 at 11:48 am
I’d hit it
March 29th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Why is she holding a black/mixed child?
March 29th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Squirrel turd. That’s hilarious.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:56 am
32- they’re*
March 29th, 2012 at 11:57 am
dear god, this reads like it’s a high school portfolio piece. or maybe a lab report. either way, i can’t imagine making myself read any more of it than i just did
March 29th, 2012 at 11:57 am
Her website would be a little better if official weren’t misspelled, but what do you expect for someone from Louisville?
March 29th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Nothing about being PUNKED out by Clay Travis? Matt maybe your just jealous is wasn’t you getting it by Ricky P. Man crush anyone? Go Cayuts huhu!!!!!
March 29th, 2012 at 11:58 am
How do they figure Pitino is Louisville’s winningest coach? Crum was there for 30 years and won 695 games (according to wikipedia). Pitino’s not even close.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:59 am
RP made his bed, now he has to lie in it. She may be further digging herself into a hole but it sure is funny as hell to watch. Too many people are sympathetic to Pitino. He did this to himself. He screwed a crazy woman without a condom and now he has to face the consequences. This will likely never go away.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:59 am
*675 games
March 29th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
For $14.95, I may order two, give one to a friend.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
And she said the FIRST time he raped her. Were there more encounters besides the one in the restaurant?
March 29th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
If you have any friends or co-workers that are UL fans then buy this book for them!
March 29th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
32 — She does not claim he raped her that night at Porkchini’s. She claims he raped her on another occasion at her house (I think) when they were talking about the abortion. She claims he forced himself on top of her when she didn’t even want to do anything.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
^Well, at least that’s what the she was saying initially. Now I just read the passage above and it pretty much seems to state that she says he raped her at Porkchini’s.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Look at me, I’m a victim!! You can’t take responsibility for your actions if you’re the victim all the time.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
..didn’t have the strenght to scream…LOL..or the desire I would imagine….
—FAIL
March 29th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
If Ricky P got ahold of her back in her Pepsi days it might have only taken 7.5 seconds.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
Wanna bet that KY is this books leader in terms of sales??
March 29th, 2012 at 12:04 pm
This type of trash should not be on here. I am no Pitino fan but this woman is a real piece of work. Reveling in something like this is way beneath decent people. I am a 45 yr Kentucky fan and this is way beneath us.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
…I mean he has coached the 35 second rule for 20+ years…i mean..you know..
March 29th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
So who plays pitino and sypher when lifetime picks up the book for a made for TV movie adaptation?
March 29th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Lifetime cast:
Ricky P – Ron Jeremy
Sypon – Trailer trash sue
March 29th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
This whole deal is just nasty.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
51) no doubt!
March 29th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
I agree with #53…
Rick restored KY basketball, made a mistake(s)…lets move on. I thought KSR was better than this.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:16 pm
59…the book just came out. KSR can’t move on if something like this is just off the press. Ya can’t move on, until AFTER it has happened.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Please for the love of Big Blue take this article down!
March 29th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
60…you can move on…how long ago was the trial…2010? I think 2010 classifies as AFTER
March 29th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
55 maybe Joe Pesci plays pitino? Sypher…one of the girls from Trixies?
March 29th, 2012 at 12:21 pm
Disappointed you guys posted anything regarding this book. I m a Pitino hater but this isn t funny. The woman obviously has issues and there s no reason to entertain her crazy story. You guys have always been my favorite site but this goes to far. PLEASE PULL IT. Its embarrassing to UK fans.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:22 pm
62…the BOOK just came out dude. Not the occurence which permitted the BOOK.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
LMFAO
March 29th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Poor Rick. Didn’t you read Rick Reilly’s article, how Rick is now a changed man? He’s humble. And he only lies HALF THE TIME! This prick deserves everything coming, including this shit from this crazy nutjob. Poor Rick.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
BBN needs to go set up a stand & sell this out in front of the Superdome.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Who Cares? Give it a rest. Go Cats!
March 29th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Wow she was smokin hawt before she was a slut!
March 29th, 2012 at 12:53 pm
This is not the first time a situation like this has happened with Pitino. There was another girl at UK when he coached there…one of the biggest cover ups of all time.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
That has to be a record for using the word “rape” in 2 paragraphs.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
How is Pitino the “winningest coach” in Louisville history? I’m pretty sure Denny Crum has more wins in 30 years as UofL coach than Pitino has in 11 years.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
You can also purchase an autographed copy of this soon to be “New York Times Best Seller” next to the fan outfitters trailer in New Orleans starting on Friday.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
71 – very interesting. have heard rumblings about that but would love more details.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
is it wrong to spank it to that pepsi picture?
March 29th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Wow. I thought the majority of the comments would be about how hot she was when she was younger. Maybe I’m the immature one…
March 29th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
It’s not a great buy. After you open the cover the book reaches its climax in 15 seconds.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:44 pm
31, according to IU’s former coach, she should have just sat back and enjoyed it.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Hell, buy one and have it overnighted to p.ricky in nola
March 29th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
#41 #73-”Winningest” would refer to the winning percentage.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:52 pm
Why is she holding OJ Simpson’s daughter on the cover?
March 29th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
10 days after the intercourse she tests positive for pregnancy from a store bought test? Any doctors care to comment. I seem to recall reading that such tests were not valid for several weeks approaching a month post pregnancy. They measure hormones that take time to get high enough to register as positive.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Chapter 12, ‘The Three Way’
“Rick really didn’t want to share me – but Tommy Turtleneck insisted. He told Rick that if I didn’t satisfy him, he would fire Rick. They both winked at each other and gave a nod, and Rick told me it was ok to make love to Tommy. Surprisingly, Tommy was quicker than Rick and it only lasted 12 seconds. My hesitation to their advances lasted longer than both sex acts, I couldn’t believe it.”
March 29th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Need fat-heads of the book cover distributed for the tourney game.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Damn you Karen, you just messed up another Final 4 appearance for me. This new hair and facelift were gonna be center stage, and now you’ve gone and done this. I can’t be seen now, after you’re book comes out. Look, everyone knows I don’t love Rick anymore – big deal. I’m just in it for the money. You can have his sorry ass, I’m done with him!
March 29th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
“Still feeling guilty about not having the power to push him off that night…or scream” — well, damn it was only 15 seconds. I don’t know of a man alive who can make a woman scream in 15 seconds, of course she couldn’t scream.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
The timing of this is awesome! I wish someone would ask Pitino about it in a pre-game interview to watch him boil over. Maybe it will distract him a bit.
Check out KarenSypher.com I went there looking for her book but it’s a pretty funny UK site instead, lol.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Why won’t anyone ask about us anymore?
March 29th, 2012 at 2:29 pm
I would love to see the reaction/response if someone bought the book and asked Pitino for an autograph…
March 29th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
This may be the most disturbing and at the same time, most hysterically amusing book cover I’ve ever seen in my life.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
How about we buy about 300 copies and send them to the UofL Hotel, care of Ricky P.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:44 pm
To 76: Spank away my man, spank away!!
March 29th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
I am still amazed by her middle name. And I hate to admit this, but if that really is her in the Pepsi ad, she was smoking hot. That said, she is still bat sh** crazy. And Rick didn’t knock up the smoking hot chic, he knocked up the crazy chic.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
The kid on the cover does resemble little Richard Pitino!!
March 29th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
Somebody should send one to New Orleans to his hotel.
March 29th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
Love this review….”Karen Sypher is a cautionary tale for getting cautionary tail.”
March 29th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
Fantastic review:
Karen Sypher is a cautionary tale for getting cautionary tail
sounds like Matt Jones?
March 29th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Co-author: Giovani Rustino? Isn’t that Ricky P’s pen name?
March 29th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
she looked mighty fine …. 15 sec hum………………….
March 29th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Really, I am kind of new to this. Is it customary to give the woman you “raped” your business card at the conclusion. Dr Seuss books makes more sense.
March 29th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Disgusting. 101 – I agree. I’m not a fan of Pitino, but the allegations in this book don’t seem too believable. I guess my peers (i.e., a jury) agreed.
March 29th, 2012 at 4:57 pm
Someone trying to make a case for themselves should at least proof read the manuscript before it’s published. Junior Bridgeman played for the Milwaukee “Buds”? – really? Bet that’s news to him!
March 29th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Someone needs to make a fathead of that book cover to take to the game. Hilarious! Right behind the goal would be awesome.
March 29th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I always just thought Rick slaughtered babies but he is a rapeist to! I bet his family is proud!!!!!!!!!!! The Big Blue needs to kick this old washed up no good piece of shit coaches ass back to loserville! He should never of left UK and now of all times its our chance to prove it to him in a way he will never get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 29th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Looking at that Pepsi ad, I’d tap that ASS TOO!! ;P lol
March 29th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
What the odds the book becomed a NYT best seller? 15 to 1
March 29th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
2138. That is the official Vegas over/under for number of times rape is used in the book.
March 29th, 2012 at 7:39 pm
Who wrote this? It’s very poorly written.
March 29th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Baby girl looks bi-racial. God Bless her; she has some challenges what with her mum and her poor choices – and the hideous plethora of half-truths and falsehoods she’ll have to weed through as she removes the blinders of innocence with age.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:30 pm
“The Karen Sypher story is a great tragedy, one that will be discussed in history books for years to come. The greatest injustice since Daughtry didn’t win American Idol!”
Interesting analysis, reviewer.
March 30th, 2012 at 5:30 am
Damn…My ole WangDanger would even get up fer dat…
March 30th, 2012 at 10:28 am
Raped the 1st time….. Why in the hell does she allege she was even close enough to the “rapist” to be victimized a 2nd time…. I think this lovely young lady had her pilot light blown out a long time ago and is desperately trying to re-ignite it.
March 30th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Free BJ with book purchase?
