The Penn State mess and some random thoughts.

The only thing I can really say about what's going on at Penn State right now is Jerry Sandusky, if what is alleged is true, is an evil man who should be put away.  I think the rest is people's careers being destroyed by failing to act. Whether this failure to act was based on loyalty or they were just plain naive is really not the point.  I think as educators and leaders, the Penn State administration should be expected to do more, including Joe Paterno.  I think there is a lack of loyalty in this country. So called friends will throw you under the bus the first chance they get, to save their skin or for a big payday.  We have become a country of looking out for number one. I think the latter happened here. Nobody cared about stopping a criminal act, or the victims.  Everyone involved cared about saving Penn State Football.  The victims and what they allegedly went through is the story here, but down the road in 2099 when they are doing a 21st "Sports Century" You won't be able to mention Joe Paterno without mentioning these horrible acts.  Its a tragedy.  One that most certainly could have been prevented.

***Some random thoughts***

I think the January 1st Cowboys at the Giants will be a "win and in" game for both teams.

I think if that is the case the Cowboys won't make the playoffs.

I also think if the above 2 statements are true, we could be looking at..gulp.. a Giants Jets Superbowl?? No.. too early to say that... perish the thought.  

I think every time I think I have the NFL figured out, the Rams beat the Saints, the Jags beat the Ravens and Jay Cutler plays mistake free football against an Eagles team that looked ready to go on a huge run after the Cowboys game.

I think LeSean McCoy is the best all around back in the NFL right now.

The one thing i will say is, all I here is how the Giants get to the Quarterback and that makes them so dangerous, yet they have given up 9 more points than the Cowboys.  

I think Jose Reyes is staying in the NL East, but not with the Mets.  (Why am I torturing myself??)

I think the Packers better lose a game, in the regular season, because they will lose a game this year at some point.  better to lose to the Lions on Thanksgiving than a rematch against the Saints in January.

Back to Reyes, I am surprised Derek Jeter hasn't told Brian Cashman he will move to Left Field if the Yankees sign Reyes.

Finally maybe i am in the minority, but i would rather see Boise State LSU, as opposed to an LSU Alabama rematch.
