love that song, love it love it love it. They took Golden Earring's version (or whatever the **** their name was) and enhanced it to a superhuman level.
Sucks that Vito broke his hand after quitting the band, too. Made a comeback impossible.
it deserves a post - this and Motley Crue's "Kickstart my Heart" go down as two of the best adrenaline pumping songs of the day. (And great songs to play racing video games to - lol)
I think the penalties are just... provided they provide assistance to any athlete looking to transfer. If you're confident you're going to be playing in the NFL, CFL and so on... you transfer. If you don't think you'll make it or care about making it to the pro's, then you have a decision to make but can stay and keep the scholarship. I think that protects the current students while keeping true to the punishments.
The vacation of wins since 1998 is a statistical punishment for Paterno to be removed from all-time lists and such. Doesn't mean much either way.
If they wanted to take away Paterno's wins, no problem. But to penalize the players, that's what I have a problem with.
All well, what's done is done now. Time to move on.
Well let me ask you, how does this punish the players? The alumni still played the games, won, got the experiences and are either moved on to the next phase of their lives or they are being paid pretty darn well in the NFL/CFL.
Everyone knows that the football program was going to suffer because of this and it's the RIGHT move.
I think the NCAA did the right thing offering assistance to those who want to transfer or the opportunity to keep the scholarships for those wanting to stay.

Re: the current players, the NCAA is considering waiving scholarship limits for any programs that accept Penn State transfers.
So this is hardly punishing the current players. If they want to stick it out and play for a tainted program, so be it. But the NCAA is giving them every opportunity to transfer to another program without that other school taking on any obligation to their scholarship limit.
Him: they're going to investigate after the trials are concluded
investigate after, punish before
makes sense
Him: they didnt invoke the death penalty (ending the program for a year) because it would punish people who had nothing to do with it
apparently no one in indy knows what irony is
that's ALL the NCAA can do
they never punish the offenders
everyone is always gone by the time they step in
and so if they cant punish directly
they punish collectively
that's a war crime under the geneva convention, but hey, marky mark asked the governing body for special powers to act
if he's gonna play hitler, might as well go all the way

Anyone that played those games now has zero wins technically...I'm positive they've moved on, but I don't feel like they needed to take that away from them. If you want to say that Paterno would lose the games, fine.
I'm allowed to disagree with some of the punishments, just like you're allowed to agree with them.
There are things that I felt they did right, there are things I felt they could have handled better.

I'm not talking about current players in that statement.

Just to be clear, the victories still stand for the team records, just Joe's personal wins are vacated*
And the fines may seem huge but actually it's just a single season's worth of income.

The NCAA said the $60 million is equivalent to the annual gross revenue of the football program. The money must be paid into an endowment for external programs preventing child sexual abuse or assisting victims and may not be used to fund such programs at Penn State.
* reading different reports now, there's conflicting statements. Not sure if it's team or personal. One says Joe's wins, another says team wins. Gotta wait for more clarification. Would suck if it was team wins.

I want to say team wins, because I heard an Ohio State alum in the office say that OSU is now the Big Ten champs for '05 and '08
I don't give a **** about retconning a bunch of wins when there was a grown man ****ing twelve year olds. I'm willing to bet the same goes for the players on those teams.
It needed to happen. There is no way around it. And I'm glad they didn't give it the death penalty because it would be punishing those not involved. This is the best thing they could have done, for sure.
Okay, so I stayed the same weight wise this week, which I'm fine with because I lost 1/2in. in my waist and 3/4in in my hips. Totally cool with that...week 3 training begins today!
This is normal. After a layoff from working out (injury, laziness,etc) I always actually even GAIN weight when I first get back in the gym. You build muscle, which weighs more than fat, but yet helps you lose fat. All good.

My guess is it's the miracle of Hollywood makeup and outfits. She's a very pretty girl, but not outrageously hot if you see her in "real life".

Totally forgot about that cover, When The Children Cry is their only song I can recall (probably because it was played 3,472,847 times on the radio back in the day).

This x10.

Keep the shadow of all of this mess away from an active football team, but also make a serious statement that administrators have a bigger responsibility than merely avoiding recruiting/eligibility violations. The actual punishments still fit as unprecedented. Just wasn't quite what I was originally expecting. But hey, I would say they still got hit pretty hard.
I think they'd say they are "representing him" more than defending him.
Did they finally get all the boobie traps out of his apt?
Boobies.
That's true, but still...yuck!
Anyway, yes they did. Took them a while, and then they detonated them in an empty field. I believe everyone that lived there was allowed back in to their places yesterday.
