Jerry Sandusky's Autobiography Helped Police Track Down Additional Victims
In Greek mythology, many apparent protagonists are later forced to face the wrath of the gods for showing excessive pride, arrogance or just losing touch with reality in general. Welcome back to State College, where hubris isn't so much a trait as it is a way of life. On top of being unfortunately ...

The AP got its claws on four internal memos circulated among Penn State's board of trustees and the school's new president Rodney Erickson mere days after charges were filed against accused child rapist Jerry Sandusky last November. More face. More egg. The memos are about damage control, money, and...
"Pedobear" Showed Up At The Houston-Penn State Game Today
We got an email, telegram-style, this morning: "Pedobear spotted tailgating outside ticket city bowl in Dallas complete with joepa cleats."

2011 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Penn State
Sandusky. Paterno. The whistle that no one blew. The sweatpants riots and the sad, sad bros and the news van tipped over like some sort of Holstein cow. Penn State was horror and farce, all at once—the whole range of human folly on display. 1-800-REALITY, indeed....

Why We Don't Have Any Photos Of The Showers At Penn State

Former Penn State Police Chief Testifies That PSU Administrator Never Told Him About 2002 Sandusky Shower Incident
One of the big questions in the Jerry Sandusky case is what the cops knew and when. The "cops" would be the Penn State University police.

That...
