Is Penn State the biggest sports scandal/tragedy/drama of our time?

    Yeah, I can't imagine arguing against Penn State for scandal, and Munich for tragedy. What wins for best drama?

    It's hard to say whether O.J. would be classified more as a scandal or a tragedy.

    As a scandal, for me, Penn State easily tops Black Sox, Pete Rose and Harding-Kerrigan.

    It really is reminiscent of Watergate on so many levels.

    Muhammad Ali/Cassius Clay vs. the United States, 1967-71.

    I nominate O.J. for best drama.

    Lebron's Decision/the Annual Favre Indecision...oh wait, best and not overwrought....

    Maybe the Rose saga just because there has been so many key points...the investigation, the ban, the writers talking about putting in the hall despite the ban, the all-century team, the Jim Gray interview, the Rose book, the Selig interview.
