It will now be known only as the Stagg Championship Trophy. "We believe

Paterno never needed hindsight Fri Nov 11 13:24:31 2011 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - "With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more." - Joe Paterno Hindsight makes most things perfectly clear. Disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno hardly needed it, however. By looking the other way at Jerry Sandusky's dysfunctional behavior, Paterno has forever tainted the legacy he had built up over 62 years in Happy Valley. But, this wasn't a misstep by Paterno. This was a cold and calculated decision by a man who was trying to protect the

Bradley takes Penn State job with 'mixed emotions' Thu Nov 10 12:46:50 2011 EST
State College, PA (Sports Network) - Tom Bradley met the media on Thursday for the first time as Penn State's football coach and said he took the job as Joe Paterno's interim successor with 'mixed emotions.' Bradley, a defensive back for the Nittany Lions in the late 1970s, has been part of the Penn State coaching staff since 1979 and became the defensive coordinator in 1999 when Jerry Sandusky retired. Sandusky, of course, is the central figure in the upheaval at Penn State after he was arrest
