Who wrote that, the rep for the Athletic Association? There are also DAILY reports of cheating, [even sanctioned cheating, as when a team member on the Cleveland Indians snuck into a mgrs office to retrieve the bat confiscated from Albert Belle during a game for suspicion of tampering], drugs...

Weight is always a concern when adding 'stuff' in the truck, but I decided if the Slushbusters put me over, I could do without a couple Kleenex to make up for it. Everything's a tradeoff, eh? ;)

Greg, I thought of the Chinese toddler, too - it's like you keep [silently] screaming at the people who're ignoring it "How can you do NOTHING when a child so clearly needs help?!!!" But I don't think Paterno is or was arrogant - he seems genuinely remorseful over his failure to do more than he...

So what'd I leave out? Throwing & catching- check. Running- check. Knocking people down- check. O - hazing! I forgot that part. It also takes an ability to become convinced of one's importance and value in the Twilight Zone kind of world where being good at playing football [or a few other...

Tumble, you might want to do a bit of research on that - something Turtle posted not long ago [probably in the thread about the cow landing on poor usa's sleeper] about it changing the dynamics of the crumple zone the van is designed to have.....

Congrats, Shawn! :)

Because athletics [aka games played by grown men] has taken on almost mythical importance in this crazy world, and Sandusky was important to those who were part of those games.

Looks like 'the Herminator' [gag] got his professional spinmeister working, because everyone's talking about things other than what matters: Cain's response to unsettling & unwelcome news. [I'm thinking every potential candidate should be sandbagged during their campaign - it reveals a lot we...

I don't really pay much attention to foreign affairs, domestic being enough of a challenge to sort out, but the rest of the 'story' sounds dead on. "How to throw limitless potential down the drain in 200 years" is one of the saddest [and most infuriating] stories ever written.

I agree that it's sad, and sickening - so many lives & reputations ruined over one wrong choice made long ago. Joe Pa is a hometown hero [my niece lives in State College, and adores him], but the fact remains: he's the COACH : the guy in charge of setting the example of how moral and honorable...

It happens, Pete. Sometimes what was the right location last time is dead this time - it makes it hard, but I have faith in dispatch to pull us through. My fridge is full - if we cross paths, I promise to share, long as you promise to keep the Vegemite [whatever it is] to yourself, lol. ;)

I'll work on that - good idea. [Far as I'm concerned, the less NLM/UAW, the better!] :)

Disagree. It wouldn't be all over the news if it were Joe the janitor, true, but the shock and revulsion would be exactly the same if the perpetrator were a local small town coach, or anyone in a position of trust over young people. You have a son - what if you found he'd been raped by a coach...

He should not HAVE to "bluster" his way out of anything. Exactly. He should be ready and able to explain his past actions, not splutter and deny and then insist he's not gonna talk about it any more. Cause we can see right through that , you know. It is the burden of the accuser to PROVE it...
