Isn’t It Ironic?
EA Sports NCAA ’12 has this screenshot. It’s actually funny in a twisted, insensitive way. Via the big lead.
Christine Brennan is Way Out of Line
Her column here. The Penn State story already has become the worst scandal in college sports history, and might end up being viewed as the worst scandal in all U.S. sports, ever.
