Never stand up for your old coach when THEY are after him.

Harris was always a perfect gentleman while in the NFL and I always respected him for speaking his mind just as he did here.

Last night I saw a lot of the love that former players had for Coach K at Duke exhibited by them and Harris feels the same way about Paterno. Many times athletes and coaches form bonds like that nothing an overcome.

The people of Pennsylvania tend to frown upon child rape, so I think the casino will survive.

btw, who is the 'THEY' in your title?

The defendant has no legal representation at grand jury hearings but in the Jackson case just like in this one information kept leaking. The media declared the coach guilty without a trial and that isn't what our legal system says.

Hey, I think that the guy is guilty so I couldn't serve on his jury but he has been wronged and will eventually be allowed to go free for it.

This constant media coverage of trials like Casey Anthony, Michael Jackson, and this idiot in PA needs to stop. Its what got Jackson off, its what got Anthony off, and it could very well backfire in PA.

I'm for public trials, but not on the national evening news.
