Penn State To Reporters: Do Not Ask About Jerry Sandusky At Today's Conference Call
As he does every Tuesday during the season, Joe Paterno will take questions from the media in a conference call scheduled for today at 12:20 p.m. EST.

Six Weeks Ago, Penn State Dedicated The Gary Schultz Child Care Center
Addressing University Park's shortage of options for young children, Penn State opened an $11 million dollar child care facility over the summer.

Of the child sexual assault charges against former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, the fact that stands out most is that Joe Paterno, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz were aware of incidents as early as 2002.

Jerry Sandusky Worked In Happy Valley And Other Memories
Some time ago, Jerry Sandusky wrote a book about his life. At one point, I am sure it made Tim Curley and the Penn State family proud. Now? I think they'd like to forget about the whole thing. Unfortunately for them, and luckily for us, the book was published, and like most published works it requi...
Penn State's AD Charged With Perjury In Child Sex Case Against Former Paterno Assistant
It was bad enough that Jerry Sandusky, the man once thought to be Joe Paterno's successor as emperor of all things Penn State, was indicted yesterday on some icky sex abuse charges involving eight boys. But now, according to an Associated Press report that said Sandusky was arrested today, there is...
Former Paterno Assistant Indicted On Charges Of "Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse," Among Other Things
A "Penn State coaching legend" once considered the successor to Joe Paterno was indicted today by a grand jury on some very nasty sex abuse charges.

Detroit Lions Fans Are Next To Spearhead An Anti-Nickelback Campaign
It is nearly a proven fact by now that sports fans do not appreciate Nickelback disgracing their teams' venues with their loud, raspy wailing. The NHL made the mistake of announcing that the group would headline the Winnipeg Jets' home opener back in September, but organizers scrapped the plan—possi...
Watch Tim Tebow Get Tebowed By The Man Who Sacked Him
Here's Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch taking Tebowing meta, striking the pose over Tim Tebow's prone body after sacking the Broncos quarterback in the first quarter of their matchup in Denver. It's like he raised an already-tired meme from the dead....
Tim Tebow's Next Miracle? Giving Matthew Stafford A Neck
From tipsters Gordon and Katrina, comes this snapshot of the Lions quarterback sans a few vertebrae. Stafford is gearing up for his showdown with the Broncos, but he may want to consider making a pre-game visit to the Chosen One. I'm pretty sure he knows a guy who's got a few spare parts he could us...
Men Whose Job It Is To Hurt Quarterbacks Chided For Being Happy When Quarterback Is Hurt
I get that Lions-Falcons was the closest thing to a matchup of two winning teams yesterday, and that both are likely to be vying for the same limited wild card slots, so we should have expected a competitive game, bordering on the chippy. But what we got—Matt Ryan getting his ankle rolled up, and ...
Let This Serve As Proof That All Basketbrawls In China Don't Involve Georgetown
"Towards the end of a closely fought exhibition game, the CBA's Foshan Dralions got into a bench-clearing brawl last night with Australia's Melbourne Tigers, after a player from the Aussie team (in maroon) gave a tentative love-tap to a Foshan player (in white)." [Shanghaiist] (The action starts a...
That Jerome Harrison-Ronnie Brown Trade Was Voided Because Harrison Has A Brain Tumor
Awful news on why the trade-deadline deal between the Lions and Eagles could not be consummated yesterday. If there's a bright side, as Adam Schefter pointed out, Harrison's tumor might not have been found had the trade not been attempted. [PFT, via @AdamSchefter]...

Jim Harbaugh Was Still Fired Up After His Skirmish With Jim Schwartz Yesterday
Yesterday, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh untucked his shirt, chest-bumped a lineman, and then shook hands with losing coach Jim Schwartz.

So, Yeah, The Big Lions Fan Put A Gun To His Head After Today's Loss
"Grab a gun. C'mon, let's get this over with," said that weird Big Lions Fan who had the whole Creedence thing going on during his post-game wrapup. He was kidding, and urged fellow Lions fans not to jump, while still brandishing his piece. Which was very nice of him....
