    no, doc. if you use what happens at UCF and say "they didn't do that in the PSU case," well, that's just fucking ignorant.
    to use law terms, UCF was the ncaa equivalent of somebody doing 110 in a 70 and PSU was ncaa's charles manson. of course they're not going to handle it the same way. to suggest they should is ridiculous.

    OK, so I must have missed something there, because I haven't seen anyone comparing the two. Here's what I was responding to:

    When someone wrote:

    You wrote:

    Maybe you were responding to some other posts/threads. But it reads, to me at least, as if you're arguing that to even question any facet of the NCAA's handling of this case is to condone child rape. And I think that's way over the top.

    And by the way, this may be just me, but I find the whole "champ" bit to be heavily in the troll zone. It seems like a sneaky way to throw an "eff you" in there.

    yeah, i'm replying to funk's work as a whole. i think that much is obvious. and if you are going to leave a "this really has degenerated" post, you probably should know what you're writing about before you start hitting the keys.

    and take the word champ as you'd like. i have roughly 30,651 posts on this site. so if you want to refer to me as a troll, have right at it, tiger. but i certainly do answer the responses my posts elicit.

    thanks MC. and it's all good on a message board, but try explaining away random scars to your inquisitive daughters as they are growing up. ; P

    and honestly, wouldn't everyone just be happy if PSU was just sorry? PSU "punching back" and "being pissed" only makes me wonder what the hell else it is hiding.

    Ha. See, that felt good, didn't it?

    LOL ... no, not really my style. I'm more the gentle pedagogue. I see a pitch I think's over the plate, though, I'm gonna swing at it.

    and hey, funk, that is why real journalists are pessimists and not pussies who make excuses or explain away things such as child rape. real journalists keep digging and questioning. oh, guess what appears? a fucking witness. look at that.
    where do you think this is heading from here?
    it's a damn shame you aren't on the PSU beat. i'm sure you would have written 20 "NCAA sanctions, what's up with that?" columns by now.

    Exactly. I'm not sure why that last part is such a problem for some people.

    "This witness has some baggage," the source said. "The Feds are going to need to corroborate what he says."

    Now we all know Jerry Sandusky is a child-raping, life-ruining scumbag. But if a source close to a probe like this is letting that cat out of the bag early, consider me quite skeptical. I'll totally eat crow if I'm wrong... but that just seems like a big thing to be throwing out there while leaking like a sieve.
