The Penn State Board of Trustes could insist on hiring a football coach who wants to bring the Joe Paterno statue back and still look saner than LSU right now.

Screenshot from Athletic story: 

"Dad listened when working in the yard or in the garden or in the garage. Paul Berninger loved hunting, fishing and camping (still does), but always had room for baseball. He coached Mattโ€™s tee-ball team and got tickets to a few games a year at the new Riverfront Stadium. Father and son would watch Pete Rose fly around the field, careen into second base, get up and shake the dirt from the folds of his jersey. Thereโ€™s no more indelible image of Cincinnati in the โ€™70s than that. Except then Paul would lean over to tell his son about the Pete Rose he knew. See, Paul grew up not too far from Pete, in the Western Hills section of the city. The two worked at the same golf course as teenagers. One night, the story went, when Paul was trying to close the caddie shack, Pete came in, demanding a candy bar or something. Paul told Pete the shack was closed. Pete, according to Paul, responded by urinating on the counter.

โ€œThey didnโ€™t exactly get along,โ€ Matt says.

Been out in the wilds of Portland, OR for the last six hours watching Casey Neill's star-studded Norway Rats residency followed by two hours of Madame Cooper's country music and burlesque (including a male stripper and a piano duet by Thomas Lauderdale & Hunter Noack). Just your typical PDX night.

Nashville, Louisville, Philly (I took two of those). They're very successful, I believe they farm out most of the actual legal work to local firms (and then take a huge cut). But they're also doing the Lord's Work against MSG

True story, I took that picture after visiting the Bikini Coffee in front of the Taboo sex shop. But catching that X-Sensual sign was pure luck.

When Knicks fans are banned from MSG, is there any coming back? Despite backlash, MSG Entertainment's "attorney exclusion list" is still in effect, reportedly banning over a thousand lawyers since 2022.

He's actually all but retired too! Lives in Maui. But will be happy to take anybody's case against James Dolan. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
