Penn State deserves the "death penalty" – they forgot their mission
<by Rafael Noboa y Rivera Should Penn State’s football program receive the “death penalty”? The NCAA – far more swiftly than most expected – is set to hand down its decision at 9 AM Eastern, so by the time you read this, we will already know what the sentence will be. I say sentence, because […]
Heroes, villains, victims and pawns: looking back at the Joe Paterno legacy
Joe Paterno is dead. Lots has been written and more will be added to the pile in the coming days and weeks. So let me add my two cents while the thoughts are fresh in my mind. Had the last few months not happened we’d now be anointing JoePa for sainthood. As you’ve been told so […]

My grandparents never let me think for a second, for instance, that playing was as important as studying and the lesson stuck. The state of […]
Joe Paterno, a Shakespearean fall
“And thus thy fall hath left a kind of blot, To mark the full-fraught man and best indued With some suspicion. I will weep for thee; For this revolt of thine, methinks, is like Another fall of man.” – Henry V, Act II, Scene 2 by Terry Hargrove King Henry V was addressing Lord Scroop, […]
