QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) @FOX29philly Joe Paterno's son Scott sez his dad will be on sideline Saturday vs. Nebraska and coaching PSU for the foreseeable future Pff yeah right. The board of trustees will have something to say about that.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/720508...wing-penn-state From those capable of introspection I feel for the fans because they did nothing wrong and now their symbols will be tarnished as they root for their team. It sucks. Oh and Matt Millen is on the board of directors for Sanduskys charity. I would cry too Matt.

Matt Millen "PSU should investigate this on their own timetable" Go draft some more WR's douche

Ha, I didnt see that. Sanchez is twice that guys size too.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) f*** that. cry for the little boys that had their lives ruined by Sandusky No s***. Shame on anyone would was exposed to this and stuck their heads in the sand.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) Penn State cancels Paterno's weekly press conference that was supposed to start in under an hour. The media had already been lining up outside. Methinks JoePa may be getting an early retirement.

So Persa is available to play on sat, the question is: why would you play him?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 09:32 AM) It feels funny to not b**** about the line. I think as of right now, Williams is better at LG than Carimi is at RT. Yes, I think that highly of Williams where he is right now... it's not a knock on Carimi. I want Carimi eventually to be a franchise lineman (but I'm only saying this because of his draft status... this once applied to Williams too). Carimi was the best lineman went he went down, even Tice said that. Lance Louis played like an animal last night, if he can keep that up we may see Carimi challenge Webb for the LT position.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) sigh. not good. Huh?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) Hey, neither one of us knows anything about Lawton's baseball intelligence or how he would run the show if he were in charge. None of us is qualified to make an assessment like that. Pfff LOL. Nothing like bleeding your resentment over to an unrelated thread.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Anyone wanna guess who was reportedly working out at the Penn State weight room last week? link Sick. I saw today that there are real indications that Paterno knew about this way before Sandusky even went into retirement such as cutting his pay in half and not speaking at his retirement dinner. Crazy s***. I guess there are a TON of FOIA requests going on to find out more about his access and salary as well as trips paid for by PSU where he traveled with kids and raped them.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Obviously not. One is black and the other is white. They're definitely not the same person. LOL, I knew you wouldnt back up your bulls***.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 05:36 PM) My prediction is that they hire Matt Lawton in a day or two without interviewing anyone else. He played for the team, he's been out of baseball entirely for a few years and has no formal preparation for it, so that should make him a shoo-in, right? Are you saying Matt Lawton=Robin Ventura?

Yikes, not good for us.

4s and Verizon have arrived! Has anyone tried that Gazelle site to sell their old iphones at all? My iphone 4 on ATT is pretty much in flawless condition and they claim to pay 200 for it

Pretty good deal by KC there.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) Ever complain about a bad restaurant? There are other options? Ever complain about a car? Same thing. This just hit a wider group of people all at the same time. Meh, not great comparisons. In this case, people are complaining about paying for a service that they use for their own needs. I dont think I would complain about something like XM radio or Sirius radio in my car because I expect that to cost a fee. I dont complain about tipping a server because I am using their service to make it easier to dine.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) You are too young to remember but when consumers complained about ATMs when they were introduced the banks omniously said going to a live teller was too expensive and that the ATMs were a better, cheaper alternative. Today I find it amazing that banking is the only industry I can think of that a machine is more expensive than a human. Are there any systems you sell where it is cheaper for the company to just hire people to do it instead of buying software? And what many people are discovering is you can get those features for free. Again, it was my savings that tipped the balance. No way an account with anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000, maybe 30 transactions a year, 26 deposits, should cost me anything. It shouldnt, but there are online savings accounts you can use that wont cost you anything. Its all about doing the research. And ATM's are one of the most convenient awesome inventions of all time. They revolutionized electronic banking.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 12:46 PM) Rock for over one hundred years banks have not only done that for free, they actually paid you for storing your money there. What has changed? Products that the banks themselves invented, promoted, and in some cases forced, onto their customers. When my wife opened a new checking account she told them she did not want a debit card. She was not allowed to opt out of a debit card. She was told she could throw it away when she received it in the mail, but there was not a way to stop the debit card from being created. My objection is I have been regularly making two transfers per month into a savings account. Both come from my checking account, also at the same bank. That does not qualify me for a free savings account. The only ways I can keep my savings account there without a $10 per month fee is to have a $25,000 balance (on an account paying 1%) or have a direct deposit from by employer. I'm moving the account to a bank that does not have those rules and as a bonus, I can make deposits from my phone. So I am complaining that my bank is charging me for services that other banks offer for free. If your local coffee shop started a cover charge to get in the door would you keep paying for it or switch to another coffee shop? SO basically, you need not complain because there are other options? I dont pay for my checking account because I do direct deposit ( i dont understand anyone that doesnt). I expect that the convenience of being able to take out cash from my bank in any location at any time of the day will incur a fee. I expect that being able to not carry cash and electronically pay for items wherever whenever should incur a fee. if you dont like those benefits, then move your money to a small bank without those features or buy yourself a safe and store your money in the basement. I think its very unreasonable to expect these services for free. 100 years ago there werent any options, nor was it as easy to actually manage your money and ensure that it was secure from robberies, terrorists or any other disaster. Things have changed as well as peoples demands for everything NOW. If thats not your thing, then you have other options. Complaining is ridiculous IMO.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) I think the bigger take-away, is the unforeseen consequences. Extra cushioning on the heel should have been a good thing, but it caused people to land harder on their heel because the initial pain (heel) was not there. Supposedly. You can also argue the extra cushioning open up new people to running without pain. I dont buy that cushioning in running shoes changed generations of gaits.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) Have you guys discussed this? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine...;pagewanted=all There are flaws in the research. Distance runners who are and have been training for a long time already have lower bodies that are less susceptible to injury, thats why they run so much. Some people need the cushioning to make up for defects in knees etc. I use a "barefoot" Nike shoe for crosstraining which I think is a huge benefit to me as far as stability and foot strength.

Cowley has officially retracted his pro-Ozzie article from earlier this year and has declared Chicago to be a Cubs town without Ozzie.

To be more specific, stop pounding beers on the weekend. Thats what I meant.

A few of the Big Ten scrimmages are on the network this afternoon.
