"Big News In The Jerry Sandusky Case We have just done a mind-blowing two-hour interview for our With the Benefit of Hindsight podcast with the wife and mother of his X children of one of the trial accusers who was paid over $X million by Penn State. She is now XXX% sure her husband (who she is now divorcing after listening to our podcast) lied about Sandusky and that Sandusky is indeed innocent. Here is the climactic end to that discussion. We will be releasing the audio version of the full interview on Monday for free on our podcast feed. This will be a MUST listen to anyone remotely"

"A former staffer at Penn State said James Franklin got too caught up in hiring hot commodity coordinators. Franklin swiped defensive coordinator Jim Knowles from the champion Buckeyes making him the first $3M assistant coach in college football. 🔗"

"From our story: The one thing everyone agreed upon was that Franklins 4-21 record against AP top-10 opponents and repeated failure to beat the best teams on his schedule were what ultimately got him. Read the whole story. He gave the Penn State brass the opening to fire him and they did. Not winning a natty and not beating the marquee teams trumped his building of a top XX program. Penn State did what it felt it needed to do. But yes fair or unfair patience is in short supply across all of college football. Carousel will only spin more rapidly rest of this year. Hope the Lions get it right"
