Brand Leadership: The Scene At The Penn State President's New York Town Hall
The last place any sane person wanted to be this past Friday night was the Marriott hotel in Manhattan's financial district. The hotel's grand ballroom would be a good setting for a bad prom, complete with an ugly red carpet and garish inverted-pyramid chandeliers. An uneasy crowd of about 300 Penn ...

Mobile, Ala.'s WKRG opened its 10 p.m. newscast with the video of an Alabama fan teabagging an LSU fan at the Bourbon Street Krystal after the BCS title game.

PSU's Damage-Control Memos Show "Deepest Concern" For Children (And Your Non-Refundable Donations)
Not long ago, we told you about the stupidly triumphant internal Sandusky memos that got passed around at meetings of the Penn State board of trustees mere days after the scandal broke. The memos, first obtained by the AP (and now by us), showed the low-IQ spinjobbing you've come to expect from so...

Hubris Runs Massive Ship Aground, So Naturally Its Owner Also Runs The Miami Heat
Micky Arison, besides owning the Heat, is CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines. Carnival operates the Costa Concordia, the Italian cruise ship that will likely be the most expensive maritime loss in history. This is all one big, involved metaphor for something, probably maybe....
Joe Paterno Wants Us To Believe He Has Never Heard Of "Rape And A Man." Joe Paterno Is Full Of Shit.
Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post scored a precious exclusive interview with Joe Paterno last week and summarily pissed away the opportunity by deploying every tired Paterno cliche that gives Joe Posnanski an erection. He's lived in the same house for dickety-two years! He turned down the Pats be...

Washington State Head Coach Ken Bone Eats It On The Court
Halfway through the second half of the hotly contested battle for the state of Washington, Wazoo head coach Ken Bone is just a tad too exuberant with his request for a timeout. I hope, for his sake, he was able to pick up the spare. [FSN] ...
Play-By-Play Man Loses His Mind On Three-Quarter-Court Buzzer Beater
Everyone loves a good game-winning buzzer beater, especially when it travels almost the entirety of the court and catches nothing but net. Here then, is Lindsey Wilson College senior guard Chase Spreen putting a fork in Georgetown (not that Georgetown) College as the Lindsey Wilson Sports Network ...
NSFW: An Alabama Fan Teabagged A Passed-Out LSU Fan At The Bourbon Street Krystal [UPDATE]
Those of us un/fortunate enough to have visited the Krystal restaurant at the mouth of Bourbon Street in New Orleans know it's a place where the occasionally odd, bizarre, or criminal events take place. We don't know which of these this incident is, if not all three. That's especially given that so...
Darius Morris Hit A 50-Foot Contested Buzzer-Beater
Darius Morris hasn't seen much action for the Lakers this season—the rookie guard has tallied all of 55 minutes thus far—but you might be seeing more of him after this buzzer-beater in last night's 102-94 loss to the Clippers. That or it was just a fluke. (It was just a fluke.) [NBA TV]...
Man Agrees To Drink An Entire Bottle Of Tabasco If Tebow Loses To The Patriots, Pukes
Amateur cinematography aside, this is an oddly compelling watch. Textbook storytelling, actually. The tension slowly builds—A hero's quest, will he actually do it? I don't think he's going to do it—rising action—he's getting ready, he may actually do it— climax—oh my god he did it!—and then, denou...

Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches
Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season. But quick kicks always tend to result in some kind of craziness; like turnovers, they put players outside their comfort zone. In this case, it was reason for Miller to go on an assault mission, th...
