    This struck me, in reference to the woman's previous rape claim ...

    You know, if the erection lasts more than four hours ...

    There should be a special place in hell for women who pull these stunts.

    I wonder if he'll get a look in a NFL camp now. He did pretty well at the PSU pro day last month. Now he won't get drafted, but me thinks some team will at least invite him to mini camp. Thoughts?

    I believe he will be the Lehigh Valley Defenders' feature back by July. If that's their name.

    Seriously.

    The sad part is the doubt will always be there. There is still some part of me that wonders what really happened. And if he really is innocent, Scott is the victim of a terrible injustice.

    And this point may seem minor, but when I think about Paterno, I am forever going to remember how quick he was to turn on this kid and I will always believe it was simply because the team didn't need him any more.

    Not to jump to Joe's defense, oop, but remember, Scott got the boot before this came down. Missing curfew.

    shot, didn't it go from suspension to off the team and Paterno won't even speak to him when the charges came up?

    Scott used all mulligans before even getting to this stage. There were reasons Paterno tossed him overboard faster than you can say Anwar Philips, namely the perception that Scott was a headcase.

    And the biggest of those reasons was he didn't need him on the field any more.

    Wasn't thinking that high, Sundance. I was thinking semi-pro.

    Yes, that was a factor, and anyone denying such is incredibly naive. Don't know if it was *the* deciding factor, though, and we'll have to agree to disagree on that.
