When all else fails, haul in the psycho-bullshit.

“Mike has undergone some pretty intensive sensitivity training as part of this whole deal and has dealt with, or continues to deal with a lot of those issues. This is not the kind of thing that once the basketball season is over, penance is paid,” Pernetti said. “I’ve had a sports psychologist working 60-to-80 hours with him since the suspension took place. He’s going to be involved in all those communities that he may have or will offend on the going-forward basis.”

He’s … troubled. Five minutes with the about-to-be-released DSM-V and you’ll come up with a list of disorders as long as one of Mike’s you-faggot-piece-of-shit tirades. They’ve got him in with a head man 60-80 hours so far and counting.

Who’s paying, by the way? That sounds expensive, and Mike is already real expensive – not only in sheer dollars (Rutgers pays him hundreds and hundreds of thousands each year) but in terms of what tatters of reputation the always shit-besmirched Rutgers (sports at Rutgers is the gift that keeps on giving) has left. Not to mention the lawsuits from parents of the players he’s…

Hey, wait! What about the players? Is Rutgers going to hire psychologists to spend 60-80 hours with traumatized eighteen-year-olds who came to college figuring yeah college… College. Where The Dark Knight drills balls at your head and calls you a fucking cunt.
