According to various studies, the average person reads 225 words a minute. Some can obviously read more. Some, of course, read less. But most everyone falls in a range of 200 to 250 words a minute. What that means is that by the time you have finished reading this paragraph — this paragraph that contains 120 words — Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino could have had sex twice with some random woman on a table at an upscale Italian restaurant while one of his assistants sleeps on the floor within earshot of the happy couple.

News You get a pizza! You get a pizza! Everybody gets a pizza!
Papa John said everyone in attendance at the Louisville-Oral Roberts game last week would get a free pizza if he hit a shot from half court.
Chances are Papa John didn't have to buy everyone a pizza. Rick Pitino only eats at Porcini. (I'm sorry. I meant "eats." And, wait … Rick Pitino, Italian food and Oral all combined in the same video? It's amazing it's SFW.)
