Without a doubt, the news story of the year in 2011 was Penn State. Joe Paterno went from all time leader in college football victories to enabler of child rape in less than a week.

Former Penn State Players Circulating Letter in Support of Joe Paterno

By

Below is a letter signed by 425 former Penn State players showing support for former head coach Joe Paterno who turned 85 years old today. I was pretty surprised to see Todd Blackledge sign it. As a member of the media establishment, an establishment that has kind of condemned Paterno for his role in protecting Jerry Sandusky. Unless you're someone who's Penn State blue … [Read more...] about Former Penn State Players Circulating Letter in Support of Joe Paterno

Penn State’s Jerry Sandusky Arrested, Arraigned Again

If you thought it was disgusting and disturbing that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was out walking around freely (as I certainly did) then you will no doubt exact a measure of satisfaction, a sense of justice from today's news story. I mean the guy lived across the street from an elementary school- how f***d up is that? And does/did have a wife? Who … [Read more...] about Penn State’s Jerry Sandusky Arrested, Arraigned Again

Amidst Scandal, Penn St DT Devon Still Quietly Having Dominant Season

By

You'd be hard pressed to find an All-American college football season as obscure and overlooked as Devon Still in 2011. Sure, the pedophilia scandal at Penn State is much bigger and more important than football. And the media is treating it as such they should. Also, leading to Still's relative obscurity is the fact that offense sells tickets, and gets the glory. Defense is … [Read more...] about Amidst Scandal, Penn St DT Devon Still Quietly Having Dominant Season

Penn State Beats Ohio State in “Scandal Bowl;” Tom Bradley’s 1st W

By

Interim Penn State Head Coach Tom Bradley told the media at his postgame press conference: “This win isn’t about me; it’s about the players and this team. I don’t think any team in the history of college football has been through so much in such a time period and to hang in there and fight their way through it is great." And to some extent he has a point, the players are … [Read more...] about Penn State Beats Ohio State in “Scandal Bowl;” Tom Bradley’s 1st W

It was hilarious; not just because of the Penn State … [Read more...] about Penn State Scandal Reaches South Park (Video)

Penn St. Scandal Link Bank 11-16-11: Sandusky, McQueary, JoePa

By

As you no doubt heard, Mike McQueary, who might have possible whistle-blower status in the Penn St. scandal, is in a secure location. This is because he's received death threats for so-called "ratting out" Joe Paterno; which reminds us how backwards and unthinking so many people are. Anyways, it surfaced yesterday that McQueary claims he did go to the police, contradicting … [Read more...] about Penn St. Scandal Link Bank 11-16-11: Sandusky, McQueary, JoePa

Penn St. Scandal: Guest Post By the Wisconsin Attorney General

The Penn State pedophile scandal has dominating the headlines for the past week, and it should. This is much more than the biggest story in college football or even sports history.
