If it's the Sunday night game, probably. Because I'll be drinking all day. But if it's the Monday Night game? Nah, I can pull off 11pm if I try hard enough.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't be cool with games starting at 4 pm here. I already risk missing the start of 5:30 pm games and that's with a really light commute after work. Considering they only happen 1-3 times a year, can't you just get out early for those days?

I am NOT at ALL saying that Cal Ripken is complicit in anything that happened. My comment is pretty much that this story got so far beyond what anyone could ever imagine (and continues to) that you just have to brace for the next impact. Stories about Sandusky raping kids have been out there for a while. Right now the story is Sandusky raped kids and PSU covered it up to protect the brand. That's pretty much how PSU has always treated everything. So no, I wouldn't say this story has got so far beyond what anyone could every imagine. The story right now is pretty imaginable. All those other guys risking their millions of dollars by pimping out young boys in central Pennsylvania is unimaginable.

Kaplan: Royals interested in Z

Once you get caught on TV running an easy double into a single, because you decided to go into a home run trot, you are going to get criticism, and rightfully so. I fail to see how losing the extra base is playing "smart". I will agree that there is the perception that Aramis seems to get piled on more than most, but isn't it possible that it is due more towards his attitude toward the media and general overall disposition? Rather than his race? In regard to Cutler, he absolutely does deal with the same issues with the media. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=6017986 http://www.thesportssession.net/2137/nfl-players-call-jay-cutler-physically-mentally-weak-is-he-really-a-soft-football-player.html http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14590417/does-cutler-have-seriously-injured-knee-or-weak-heart http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-sports-guru/2011/01/jay-cutlers-persona-grants-him-no-sympathy-for-mcl-tear/ What the hell do you think lazy means? Yeah, a handful of idiots thought Cutler faked an injury until people with brains criticized them. He's not called lazy like you and other people are calling Ramirez. -
There's nothing wrong with a night game, especially Friday and Saturday nights. Saturday night is great. Sunday and Monday night suck because of the need for sleep before work.
-
Or just that he knew other people viewed it as wrong. Old men having sex with young boys is nothing new, and is viewed by some as perfectly fine.
-
I find it hard to believe that everyone in college football knew Sandusky was a scumbag and there was never anything brought to light about it. They didn't need to know why he was a scumbag, just that PSU officials had a negative view on him when he retired. The football coaching community is a pretty tight group, but it's very large. Lots of guys can hear issues about a guy without having anything close to proof to go to officials about him. Also, the PSU staff is strangely insular.
-
My guess is they made the decision not to have him be the next coach well before they informed him he would not be the coach. And I'm sure it was the knowledge of child rape that informed said decision.
-
didn't realize the psu vice chairman is also the US Steel CEO.
-
I hate to defend these guys if it turns out they had any prior knowledge, but I think of a board of directors for a charity loaded with celebrities like that as pretty damn hands off. (pardon the phrase) I can't imagine Cal Ripken was doing much more than making an appearance or 2 per year and giving the occassional donation. I don't know why you'd think that given what we've found out in the past few days. Nothing would surprise me at this point. i'm going to go ahead and say it would surprise me if cal [expletive] ripken was involved in pimping out kids to rich donors. WHY DO YOU THINK HE HAD TO START HIS OWN VERSION OF LITTLE LEAGUE?????
-
I thought he was "worth" like $19-20m a year based on his WAR with the Yankees.
-
This goes back to gooney's point about the wife facilitating this stuff. [expletive] this is awful. I'm just going to hope that his wife serving these kids up on a silver platter to him is the extent of the issue and hope to hell the rest is just rumor.
-
Something I don't understand is why they just separated him from activities with children. Why not just completely separate from him? There were multiple reports and multiple investigations. Wouldn't the sane thing be to tell him that until it is involved we should disassociate with you? Even if he doesn't go to events where there are children, the fact that he's associated with an organization that helps children gives him cache with parents and at risk kids who may be unaware of the allegations. It was his Amex Black Card.
-
As I've said repeatedly, I'm willing to stick my neck out on a massive contract. Just not for either of these two guys, on anything longer than 6 years. I mentioned Teix and Gonzalez as two guys I would have been happy to sign at the years and dollars they received. Elite offensive, elite defensive, young and in shape players are out there -- just not this offseason. How's that Teix contract working out? good no? Or am I missing something?

We aren't talking about a group of lawyers at the head of some charity, it's just a bunch of athletes or ex athletes who won't be delving deep into the situation.

He has since admitted he made the first statement without knowing the background and put himself in Twitter time-out. Dumb, dumb statment to make without familiarizing yourself at least a little beforehand. EDIT- not dumb by you, jersey, dumb by Kuchar to make the statement about Paterno intially. When I re-read that it didn't sound right. I knew what you meant.

Dumb, dumb statment to make without familiarizing yourself at least a little beforehand. I read an article this morning that did not mention a thing about why he was fired, just that he was and that students were upset.
-
In a small town where everybody's first instinct is to protect JoePa, Penn State, the football organization and the enitre economy that depends on it almost exclusively, potentially.
-
How the hell is Ashton Kutcher against this move when he's supposed to be all about anti-sex abuse/prostitution.
-
didn't he decide not to prosecute sandusky in 1998? and he disappeared in 2005. I believe there were allegations in 2004 as well. And....after two eyewitness accounts of graphic abuse of multiple children, how do you not prosecute? i just find it very hard to believe penn state arranged for the murder of a DA in order to protect a retired coach/molester. i think it's much more likely that it's a coincidence. unless the 2nd mile pimp story is true, in which a bunch of rich donors would be in need of protection.
-
I agree, but somehow that doesn't seem to be enough. I don't think he can be brought up on charges but they need to investigate this guy at a minimum to make sure that his bank account didn't receive a single big deposit around the time this all occurred. I'm starting to think it's a big enough red flag that he has risen through the coaching ranks. I can't help but think he was motivated by his career and "protecting" the program. Of course you can't help but think that. It's obvious.

Who ever called Cutler lazy? -
first thing he says is it wasn't so much good reporting as all of that stuff was public knowledge. This is true. This story has been around a while and for some reason media in PA completely ignored it.
