“It was a very difficult meeting and one I will tell you that Skip handled very professionally and very classy as he always does,” Woolard said during a news conference. “It was a matter of just not having the production that we needed to have over the last couple of years on the field. … Every program experiences highs and lows on the way to national prominence.

This guy really has some damn nerve. And on the night before he’s sentenced for the Penn State scandal, Sandusky thought it was a good idea to share his side one more time. Releasing an overly-dramatic recorded statement from his cell, Sandusky chose to go on the defense and attacked everyone, from his victims, to the media…even the university, for the reason he’s still locked-up after being “falsely accused”. According to TMZ… In his statement, the disgraced ex football coach says, “A young man who was dramatic, a veteran accuser, and always sought attention, started everything.” Sandusky goes on to say the initial accuser “was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media, investigators, the system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers. They won. I’ve wondered what they really won: Attention, financial gain, prestige… will all be temporary.” Sandusky also rambles about his attorneys not having enough time to prepare for the trial — in which the jury found him guilty of 45 counts of child ____ deviance — and insinuates all his accusers came forward purely for financial gain. And there’s this odd claim … on the recording, Sandusky says his wife “has been his only partner that was after marriage. Our love continues.” Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow morning … and faces up to 400 years in prison. Wow…homeboy’s crazy! We’ll leave the rest of the comments for you to make…SMH Images via facebook/tmz
Did they do the right thing? The statue honoring Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has been removed from in front of Beaver Stadium. Via TMZ reports : The statue was removed via forklift as 100-150 students watched, chanting, “We are Penn State.” Penn State president Rodney Erickson announced the statue will be stored in a “secured location.” Erickson released a statement saying, “I now believe that, contrary to is original intention, Coach Paterno’s statue has become a source of division and an obstacle to hearing in our university and beyond. For that reason, I have decided that it is in the best interest of our university and public safety to remove the statue and store it in a secure location.” The decision came 10 days after a report conducted by former FBI director Louis J.
