"PICTURED: While working as an air traffic controller, McQueary stumbled upon the wreckage of a plane crash. He ran home, told his dad, and hid under a blanket. The FAA determined the crash was caused by the pilot leaving the controls to touch a 10-year old boy." AP, Getty Images
I don't trust breaking news unless it's broken by someone who:
a. starts said breaking news with, "I'm not going to say this is more than a rumor," b. is a hacky sports talk host whose journalistic experience is mostly a wrestling dirt sheet, or c. was on Vince Russo-era WCW Monday Nitro.
Wow. That was terrific. Hey, wait a minute...great hook, strong bridge, powerful words, slight return, left audience wanting more...are you Jimi Hendrix?
"Never mind that a grand jury found the facts - including Paterno's statement that he was aware that "something of a sexual nature" took place between Sandusky and a 10-year old NINE YEARS AGO - sufficient enough to indict people, you guys. The Board says there's more to the story!"
Clearly, the words of a bunch of guys who allowed a pederast and an AD who buried the story to remain on campus for several years are beyond reproach.
If there's one thing you don't want to fuck up, it's your relationship with your future wife's parents. It's worth the effort. I took Mrs. Q's dad to lunch and bought him a steak, then asked him at the end of the meal. He gave me the green light, and I remain well-liked in the house of in-law to this day.

I was also lucky enough to have been at that show. That was after the Meters finished their set at the other end of City Park, loaded their gear onto a flatbed truck, and drove it across the park to play RHCP's encore. Social Distortion played that day, too. That day was one of my favorite days ever as a music fan and New Orleanian.
"This is what happens when you taunt men who have the ability to launch a frozen rubber projectile with incredible speed at the breakable surface you believe is protecting your heckling behind."
I swear to Christ the overdubbing on the basic cable version of The Big Lebowski gets worse every time I watch it.
I got approved by Pete Gaines, sometime shortly after he inherited combudsman duties from Iracane. I don't recall the joke. The earliest joke I remember writing here was something about Adam Walsh in a post about Notre Dame. Maybe it was that one.
A few months later, I woke up in a bathtub full of ice with a kidney missing and a note on the mirror that said, "Call 911. Also, congrats on the star." I have no idea who was responsible.
