Sports Illustrated Article in Defense

  • http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/michael_rosenberg/07/19/penn-state-death-penalty/index.html

    Sorry to post another article, but I sincerely hope it will be my last posting of a scandal related article. I just thought it was good to see this piece because it came from a reputable and popular source as opposed to some of the other pieces in our defense.
    I am starting to get a small sense of a changing of the guard. Saban speaking out against punishment is probably a very big deal if you ask me (see Saban thread). Then the Thompson quotes etc... Just seems like things are slowly changing. There will continue to be heat without a doubt but for word to slowly sneak through in our defense is definitely a good thing.

  • I for one am not tired of seeing articles where common sense and logic are used. Thanks for posting.

  • Both guys on Mike & Mike in the morning have been against a death penalty since day 1. They have a pretty big audience.

  • Good article.

    I agree. I think people are beginning to come to their senses, and some are moving on altogether to more important topics...like Tom and Katie.

  • It was an alright article, but it was still condescending to Penn Staters.

    "Hundreds of thousands of people built and sustained the culture that allowed this to happen. That was a fundemental problem at Penn State." Come on man, by that logic anyone who watches college football built and sustained the culture that allowed this to happen. Its not like PSU played themselves every week, or only Penn Staters tune in every week. He goes on and on about how it was 4 people, but continually blames you and I for this. Screw this guy, even if he can read the NCAA manual.

    Agreed. Anyone that thinks the "culture" of big time college football is unique to Penn State is being naive or willfully ignorant, or both.

    Ironic that ESPN blames a culture they helped create with huge tv contracts. That's not an excuse, just a fact. What has that network done to help victims of child abuse? Have they donated their advertising revenue they've received by covering the scandal? Hypocrites.

  • The initial outrage is dying down. Give it a few more weeks when NFL training camp is in full swing, and no one will care anymore. When the season starts, as long as there is an SEC game somewhere there is no room to talk about us.
