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!!!"

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
