so reports indicate that joe paterno told his team, or did not tell his team, that he is resigning. looks like ben jones quickly deleted that tweet and issued another one saying it was not true, from a source who would know.

other than the fact that it's a huge black eye and they will probably lose some recruits in the short term, they probably won't get punished if the powers that be wise up and do the right thing.

http://twitter.com/#!/Ben_Jones88/status/134050249789546497 @Ben_Jones88 Ben Jones Rumor is that Paterno has told the team he is stepping down. Not able to confirm.

seriously?

considering he admitted to it a decade ago to one of the mothers it's not so much that he got away with it. I think penn state canned him and pushed it under the rug, and thanks to their status as the king in town they were able to convince people they handled it and nobody else should worry about it

It's absolutely not clear cut. As I said, if they clear house I would think the ncaa will stay away. If they don't, however, there's plenty out there to get the ncaa involved and it absolutely involves the football program. also, while the perpetrator is now a former coach, inexplicably allowed to hang around the program long after all the powers that be knew he was a sicko, he was doing these things while still a coach.

so if you run practice and coach the kids all week but don't call the plays you're not coaching? When's the last time JoePa legitimately ran a practice? his current leg/hip injury was because he got hit during a practice. maybe he's doing nothing, but maybe he's coaching during the week, game planning, etc. I have no idea. But the fact is, he's NEVER worn a headset or held a play list, but no one questioned whether he was coaching until he became and old man and he's been an old man for a long time. The headset comment doesn't really matter, but everybody knows joepa doesn't coach.

If Ron Zook murdered some people and he was busted shortly thereafter while the school and program cooperated with the investigation I doubt the NCAA would get involed. If his assistant murdered somebody and he knew it and he tried to sweep it under the rug and they found out by other witnesses a decade from now, and he was still there, i think it might be more likely they would get involved. But again, how does it involve the football program or university (outside of Zook working for them)? Everyone involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but why should the students in the football program suffer because the AD and President of Penn State are cretins? It involves people who work or worked on the football team. And the current students always suffer from problems created by past participants when the ncaa investigates something. child rape by a football coach on football premises witnessed by people working for the football team and potentially covered up and at the very least ignored by the head coach absolutely involves the football program and university.

bears game eight, at the eagles on monday night
jersey cubs fan replied to treebird's topic in Other Sports
what was the story with the fake punt? On the field it was very obvious from the start what was happening, with 2 uncovered gunners available to catch it. Did the Bears know it was coming and decide to defend against with an all out blitz? Were they just going for the block and caught off guard? That play seemed strange from field level. -
Just remember, the real monsters in this story are the people who don't give back as much to the community as the millionaire faux football coach.
-
i said what i wanted to say. if this is your response then there's no point in discussing anything with you any more. it's a legit response. You are excusing a rich child rape enabler by saying he donated money.

It was not an error of judgement. He allowed a child rapist to rape children while using the name of penn state football coach, did absolutely nothing to stop the rapist from raping children and/or covered up the rape. If he cheated on his wife with his secretary that would be an error in moral judgement that most people could look past. This is much more serious. Also, while it's nice that the guy has given back, he gets paid millions of dollars to be a football coach without actually having to be a football coach. He has more time and money than 99.9% of the world has and a million more opportunities to give back. You can't criticize people who are critical of him by saying they haven't done as much as him for the community. That is asinine. Also, mob bosses generally give back to the community as well.

That Bears/Lions game is completely meaningless. Looking at the Bears schedule, that's really the only game I would think to put on that list. The Bears schedule after that is: 4 AFC teams, the Seahawks, the Packers and the Vikings. Were there any other week 10 games on that list? Maybe they thought it was too early to make that list. Chicago-Detroit is big and Chicago-Green Bay could be very good. Green Bay could still be fighting for #1 and Chicago should be fighting for a playoff spot. Two teams with winning records facing each other not in week 17, where most things are wrapped up, but week 16, where lots of things are still interesting. He's got Eagles games on there twice. He's got Oakland/San Diego twice (plus another Oakland game). He's got GreenBay/Detroit and 4 Bengals games. There doesn't seem to be any rule that it has to be an absolutely vital game, it's just 25 games featuring every single team over .500 plus several .500 or lesser teams, with the lone exception of the Bears. The guy consistently disregards the Bears year in and year out. It's odd.

It's not an either or. You can be made at him for not following up and for potentially watering down, ie. covering up.

NBC has to be really annoyed at this point. They've already been forced to give the Pats-Colts game to CBS twice out of the previous 4 seasons, and 2 out of the last 3 times NBC has managed to get the game either Brady or Manning has been hurt. It's one matchup though, and they've got plenty of other opportunities to showcase big games.

I don't think so. There is almost an inevitability that you will have a chance to put him in there later. It's not a desperate need right now, and while it might be a somewhat cowardly stance, I'd rather not upset the apple cart. They are playing well and you might as well reward them by keeping it going. -
It's not really all THAT shocking though. No Manning, mediocre Pats....meh. it's not at all shocking. I'm assuming he was being sarcastic.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/don_banks/11/08/top.25.games.left/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_wr_a4 Don Banks never ceases to disappoint in his completely inexplicable disregard for everything Chicago Bears. He lists his 25 remaining games that will have an impact on playoff races, and does not list the Bears at all. He lists four seperate Bengals games, but apparently there are no remaining Bears games that will have any impact on the playoffs.

And now it reaches into possible murder. I'd say probable
