Sandusky was visiting recruits as recently as this year.

I don't want this to be glossed over.

The guy was still visiting high school kids, apparently in an official capacity for Penn State THIS YEAR.

What's the justification?  That they're out of his age range?  THEY BANNED THE MAN FROM CAMPUS FOR MISCONDUCT BUT STILL SENT HIM ON RECRUITING TRIPS?!?

Let's not rush ton judgement here.

Maybe the recruiting coordinator didn't know about Sandusky's issues.

Holy shit. Can we finally get to the fucking punchline of this joke already?

May not be true, but the kid is sticking to his story so far.

I think suicide is in the cards for this guy. I really do.

DPD. Wasn't there a section of the grand jury report where he said he wished he was dead after someone confronted him? Or am I imagining that? It was hard to read because I bleached my eyes after the first few pages.

IIRC, I think that was from the apologies he made over the phone with the mom of the kid he naked boner bearhugged in the shower in the 1998 incident.

13 years ago, meaning there were kids who hadn't even been born at this time who would grow to be eligible to be one of his victims.  10 seems to be the age for this guy.  10 year olds, dude.

DPD.

Any truth to the rumor that the reason Mike McQueary bowed out of tomorrow's tilt because of threats to his life by Paterno supporters?  I had assumed all along that it was because of threats from victims' rights advocates but now I'm hearing differently.

I'm guessing it's a little bit of both groups.

Gerry Sandusky has never met Jerry Sandusky. There is no relation. The sports director for WBAL and the radio voice of the Ravens has only been in State College, Pa., once in his life, and that was 24 years ago.

"What I have discovered is that there is this parallel universe of people who have the same name but no relationship to people who have committed or been alleged of committing heinous crimes," he said. "Somewhere there is a plumber named Bernie Madoff. Somewhere there is a salesman named Ken Lay. And somewhere there is a truck driver named Charles Manson. And they've had to live with this.

I watched it happen, and yet I now have no idea how the fuck Illinois managed to get to six wins this year. Worst. Bowl season. Ever.

Given the way the last 10 minutes of the 1st. half was played this game should end up a tie.

Maybe they're praying for JoePa's soul.

Or maybe they're just making a video to send in to Tosh.0:

Everyone is Tebowing these days, but I don't think they understand what it really means. When you drop down and pray like him, it should be after you've done something awful. Because that's what Tim Tebow represents: being awful.

Does anyone else appreciate that Western Kentucky has scored one more TD on LSU than the constantly-fellated Alabama program?
