My favorite teams
And I'm highly sickened by the display of Penn State students and ESPN right now. Stuart Scott can't say the word alleged enough.

no, YOU have proof. Bruises on a child is the quickest ticket to an investigation. But saying "someone told me that......" carries absolutely no water whatsoever.
Isn't the belief that the source is credible proof enough to make the call? If not, now we're requiring teachers to have wily detective skills and do police work as well prior to making the call? How many different fricken hats do I have to wear?
lol - I know what you're saying. sometimes, the process seriously blows. I know social workers, I've worked in the field, and I've worked with children who have been abused/neglected. It's shitty, but if it were the other way around, you'd have some less-than-credible people calling in parents b/c they simply don't like them.
That is incorrect. The grad student now in question is not the interim head coach.
In other news, with what came out tonight, do some of you change your opinion about the way they handled JoePa?
Doesn't anybody see a problem with that?The Grad student/coach who was witness to the event and only told his father and JoePa is still A coach for the team which is highly questionable... He is going to be coaching from the pressbox instead of on the field for his safety.. if it's at that point already, it seems that he should be fired along with the rest of them.
Sam Stellatella, a three-position player in the 1950s, has donated money to Sandusky's defense and urged other former players to do the same.
"I told him he's going to need a million dollars to defend himself," the 73-year-old Stellatella said. "He called me back and said, 'What am I going to do with this money?' I said, 'Use it for your lawyer because you're going to need it.' "
Stellatella sent Sandusky $100. He wrote personal letters to other members of the 1959 Liberty Bowl team that defeated a Bear Bryant-coached Alabama team and asked they also donate. He does not know how much money was raised.
"I know some of the guys sent money," Stellatella told The Associated Press. "Here's the thing, these are horrendous charges against him. But he's still entitled to his day in court. Everybody's prejudged him. He's done horrendous damage to Paterno and (athletic director Tim) Curley and the football program. I don't listen to the news and I don't read the reports of what he did because I would get too upset.
"But he's still entitled to his day in court."
dude, wtf! What ever they do to all involved, punishment wise, it wont be enough.
