"Analytics-based" show coming to MLB Network
jersey cubs fan replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
then what is the point of the show? Their entire programming schedule is built around "traditional ways of thinking", why do they need to throw somebody in there to poo-poo? So old men don't throw their cane through their TVs Is that a euphemism for what the GA told Paterno? -
Oddly enough I figured out a couple weeks ago that Mike Franceca (mike and mad dog fame, complete Yankee homer, giants/parcells lapdog) is a Cutler fan and doesn't understand the nonstop criticism he receives. He also hung up on a caller who he thought was mocking him when he asked about Francesa's opinion about Al Alburquerque.

so that's why most people wanted him gone 10 years ago? because they're blind sycophants? I said there are a decent amount of people who aren't blind sychophants. Allowing him to bully his way into staying after this acts occured on his watch within his facilities would only happen because of the blind sychophants that allowed him to become god there.

I know plenty of PSU alums, a couple of whom spent time there after school. I have a pretty good understanding of how Paterno is treated there. He's untouchable. There is a decent amount of people who are not blind sycophants that actually do place responsibility on Paterno, but it doesn't really matter because of how he has been allowed to overpower his theoretical bosses. If he just bullies his way out of responsibility for these acts that occured on his watch, it will be a disgrace.

. Who the [expletive] does he think he is? (besides a pedophile enabler?) He is Penn State football, and to an extent, Penn State itself. He is the ultimate decider of everything that happens. But he's a naive old man who is too confused to understand what rape is because that sort of thing never happened when he grew up.

one son works for the browns. he took a leave of absence
-
If they foolishly allow Paterno and the staff to stick around yeah, it absolutely will be that way for a long time. If they finally made the right decision and moved forward with new people who are not incompetent rape enablers and apologists, it could probably go away sooner.
-
They've had over a decade to do the right thing with this situation. Of course they deserve the ridicule.
-
Peterno confirmed via statement "at this moment the board of trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status" what a complete ass. first he tells his bosses they can't fire him. now after it's revealed he was complicit in allowing a pedophile to pray on children he tells his bosses to not even think of firing him
-
This is easily the worst scandal in college football history and it all happened under Joe's watch. I have no idea how people can pretend he didn't know.

Kaplan: Royals interested in Z

So, like if he yells at somebody in the dugout he's kicked off the team no questions asked? -
or whatever they are

but he passed it along to his "boss" who doesn't have the power to fire him

Suspension or banned from the team? If he does something and they suspend him a couple days, I don't give a crap. If they are going to be idiots and ban him from the team again, that's a problem. Let's be realistic, if Zambrano stays and there is another incident they are not going to suspend him for a couple of days. Why? -
peterno stepping down at end of season pretty cowardly end if that's how it goes down

I wish they would do a better job of having teams coming off a bye facing each other but it's never been a priority for them. The worst is how they handle the Thursday night games. When the Chargers play Thursday night, it will be their 3rd game in 11 days. Of course, they get extra rest before they come to Chicago the following week. On a side note, I'm looking forward to Rivers/Cutler. As a neutral observer I never understood what Rivers' issues were with Cutler. Rivers bugged the crap out of me then with his insane whining. Obviously now that he's a Bear I'm even more supportive of Cutler.

Absolutely. I'm sure he's been going at it a lot longer, and I'm sure somebody at least had an inkling for a long time before then. But Penn State football was aware of it at least as early as the 90's, and Joe Paterno is Penn State Football. He's known since the late 90's, some indications that it was the mid 90's, and it's quite possible earlier. Senile old man Paterno today is not the man who knew what happened well over a decade ago.

Oh my god that guy is terrible. There's still plenty of time for this team to right he ship and they remain a potential contender, but the fact remains Bowman hasn't built anything yet. All his tinkering post final, while necessary - to an extent, hasn't helped the product on the ice.

It's still his fault for not putting forth the effort to understand the gravity of the situation. It's also still his fault that he fostered the kind of culture in a town that allowed someone to have unfettered access to victims in their schools, homes, his home and even PSU facilities. In a town where Paterno is god and football is everything, his right hand man had so much more leeway than the average pedophile. That lack of accountability is on Joe Pa. And I'm not talking about doddering old senile Joe Pa. I'm talking Joe Pa years ago when allegations first started coming out. But yes, in the big lineup of people who should have done more, the half-wit coward McQueary is #1. People seem to be glossing over the fact that this stuff started at least as early as the 90's. Paterno may be a senile old man today, but he wasn't in the 90's and early 2000's, when he had the opportunity to do something and chose not to.

They already did that. After I saw the video last night espn was running a scroll of the text on the bottom line and they completely edited what he said, taking out the parts about "victims, or whatever they are" and a couple others things.

Some authorities found out as early as 1998.
