Even Attorney Advising Victims Says Paterno Shouldn't Have Been Fired
There's a weird kind of cognitive dissonance in the Penn State community, where the world outside Happy Valley is vilifying a man they've been trained to never think an unkind thought about.

NHL Rookies Draw Like 4-Year-Olds
That up there is the handiwork of Avs rookie Gabriel Landeskog, and it's a hell of a medical textbook cross-section of a watermelon. Except it's not that.

Steeler And Raven Unite In Hating On Roger Goodell, Owing Him Money

Jerry Sandusky Painted Out Of Memory On Downtown Mural; Paterno And Spanier Remain
The heroes of State College are treasured, but not tenured. Earlier today an image of Jerry Sandusky on a massive mural in downtown State College was painted over.
