The NCAA Dropkicks Penn State

The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced a $60 million fine against Penn State University on Monday and banned its football team from the postseason for four years.

The school will also forfeit all football wins from 1998, NCAA President Mark Emmert said. That decision strips the late Joe Paterno of the title of winningest coach in major football college history.

Wow, can't say they don't deserve it.

What a total disgrace. I hope no players worth a poo sign a letter to play there ever again,

Why? Why should the criminal actions or inactions of a few destroy a whole community? So everyone should pay for what a few did? I should be punished for something i didn't do? I didn't rape any kids. I didn't witness kids being raped and did nothing to stop it. I wasn't told about a coworker raping kids and cover it up. The actions or inactions of a few doesn't define everyone else. I'm still going to wear my PSU gear. I'm still going to support the young men who take the field wearing the blue and white. They didn't rape any kids. This whole PSU culture bullshit is sickening. You think Texas fans would turn their back on the team after those at fault are already kicked out? Would Alabama fans? How about you Gamecock fans? You think if this happend at your school that the football program wouldn't have the right to move forward after the sick motherfugers that did this were kicked out? Part of me feeling bad for those kids means I'm no longer allowed to enjoy Penn State football? Is that it?

I'm not even mad about the Sanctions handed down. Punishment was needed. But the notion that PSU football should end completely because of a few that are not even a part of PSU football anymore is rediculous.

It's called knee jerk reaction. People are forgetting that the victims will still have their day in court. They don't want anyone who enjoyed any of Penn State's success under Paterno to keep those memories because in their mind that success came at the expense of the victims, like the two are connected somehow.

You know there is a handfull of people that no matter what the punishment is it will never be enough in almost every situation. Those people are not happy until someone is fired, someone is put to death, someone is suspeneded, etc...The situation probably has no bearing on their life whatsoever but they are so consumed with the punishments. These people are easy to identify in threads like this, any Bountygate or Saints* thread, anytime a player gets in trouble with the law, if someone is mean to a puppy, etc. They don't think rationally and it's always "Kill em all and let God sort em out!!!"

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
