Mark Madden Wrote About the Jerry Sandusky Scandal in the Beaver County Times in April [UPDATE]
College Football, Media Gossip/Musings November 9th. 2011, 2:49pm
[UPDATE: Actually, the Patriot News broke the story a few days prior, and Madden basically used all the information without crediting them.]
Mark Madden, best known as a radio blowhard who was fired from ESPN a few years ago, was incredibly prescient about Jerry Sandusky’s Penn State sex scandal. Madden nailed the story on April in a column for the Beaver County Times. How did this get no pickup in April?
It seems logical to ask: What did Paterno know, and when did he know it? What did Penn State’s administration know, and when did they know it? …
Worst-case scenario: Sandusky is charged. Then it seems reasonable to wonder: Did Penn State not make an issue of Sandusky’s alleged behavior in 1998 in exchange for him walking away from the program at an age premature for most coaches? Did Penn State’s considerable influence help get Sandusky off the hook? …
A grand jury, spurred by a complaint made by a 15-year-old boy in 2009, has been investigating Sandusky for 18 months. Witnesses include Paterno and Penn State athletic director Tim Curley. Interviewing Paterno about a subject like this had to have been one of the single most uncomfortable acts in the history of jurisprudence.
The last line in the column is pretty depressing. And if Paterno is allowed to coach the rest of the season, accurate.

I don’t understand your inference between the two sentences. How does him coaching/not coaching affect how comfortable an interview that occurred months ago was?

You forgot the part where the editor writes an irresponsible post in which he implies that the disappearance of a D.A. years after his failure to prosecute Sandusky could be connected followed by the editor outing a commenter in the very same post’s comments in a completely unapologetic manner.
Otherwise, spot on.

If that tickles your fancy then sure, go for it. I am merely overstating the obvious that you seem to roll out pieces that had I never read them I would still agree with. Why must you tackle the story from the angle most likely to be agreed with? I don’t want to be reaffirmed in my beliefs, I want to be challenged by the unpopular or minority view.

What I like about Europe is that for the most part, they don’t call the evening news anchors journalists. They call them “news readers”, which is really all they do. She’s wonderful French eye candy who could tell me that a Volcano is about to destroy half the country, but because it’s coming from her in a sexy French accent, I’d still smile. I don’t give a shit whether she self-produced the story or not and is aiming for a local news Emmy.

ive always thought that TV news would be infinitely more profitable if they cut the overhead of those glossy production sets and anchor’s salaries and instead just had a dude read it while they threw up a bunch of graphics and bullets on the screen.
i mean, does anyone really WATCH the news? aside from clips, no. this way you can still show the clips and all the smart and eloquent people that have a face for radio can give us good info instead of whatever it is john king does.

You know what I think we should do? I think we should comb through history for the fine record of the Italian Armed Forces in World War II.
My favorite part:
By 16 September, the Italian force had advanced to Maktila, around 80 mi (130 km) west of Mersa Matruh, where they halted due to supply problems.[17] Despite Mussolini urging for the advance to carry on, Graziani ordered his force to dig in around Sidi Barrani, and fortified camps were established in forward locations; additional troops were also positioned behind the main force.[18] In response to the dispersed Italian camps, the British planned a limited five-day attack, Operation Compass, to strike at the fortified camps one by one.[19][20] The British Commonwealth force, totalling 36,000 men,[21] attacked the forward elements of the 10-division-strong Italian army on 9 December.[22] Following the initial success, the forces of Operation Compass[23] pursued the retreating Italian forces.[24] In January, the fortified towns of Bardia[25] and Tobruk[citation needed] were captured and the fleeing Italians were cut off at Beda Fomm by the 7th Armoured Division, who had crossed the western desert. At the Battle of Beda Fomm, the remnants of the Italian army surrendered. Within 10 weeks, Allied forces had reached El Agheila and destroyed the Italian Tenth Army, taking 130,000 prisoners of war.[26][27][28]

The thing that bothers me about the French language is the way it’s spoken. The French speak with no pauses, ideally in a single breath. There’s no ups and downs, it’s just all downhill and as fast as they can mush the words together.
Now Italian, that’s a kickass langauage. It’s like a song.

How do you explain the Taranto Raid then?
Using about a dozen, completely obsolete biplane torpedo bombers, the Royal Navy knocked out the heart of the Italian Navy. And unlike the Japanese at Pearl Harbor a year later, the Italians weren’t even taken by surprise. Their shore and air defense was just completely incompetent.
