From Busted Coverage:

The guy on the left is a conservative talk show host named John Ziegler. The guy on the right is Steelers legend Franco Harris. Both men think Joe Paterno was unjustly treated by the NCAA. Ziegler, once fired from a sportscasting job for an O.J. Simpson joke, is from Pennsylvania and ended up in the Harris box at Saturday’s Ohio U. game.
For some reason both men were photographed with this Paterno cutout.
Harris has been unapologetic about his beliefs that Paterno was railroaded and the NCAA attacked a program with sanctions while JoePa rests in a grave. It just seemed natural Saturday would be a good day to bring the protest cutout.
Harris, the Penn State legend, told Pittsbugh media in July:
“After I read the Freeh Report, I feel even more strongly about Joe and about his non-involvement in any type of cover-up. There was no cover-up,” he told Oxenreiter. “No way would Joe ever cover up anything like this. No way would Joe protect Sandusky or protect the football program.”
How Ziegler got into the box and who owns the Paterno cutout is still in dispute.
We do know Harris spent the day with Sue Paterno watching the Bill O’Brien era start with a loss to a MAC institution.

What idiot wrote this article?
Love you for sticking out your neck and not curling up in fear as others have done.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using the term "due process" to defend a "man" who did not stop such horrific acts perpetrated upon children is absurd. Franco's blind hero worship is sickening.
To say otherwise is simply ignorant or biased.
"cofe18" needs to simply read the grand jury testimony and also the Freeh Report. At that time, please report back to us with what factual data you have that actually supports your claims of JVP's involvement.
Best Regards

Please cite your source for your inflamatory statement.
The Freeh Report shows no fact based proof. The only fact is that "YOU" are spinning the point you are trying to make.
Your "opinion" is short on factual basis and shows a clear lack of thorough understanding.
Please stop until you have educated yourself fully on the issues at play.
Your point point being that the man that designed the gun is also responsible for the murder therafter by a crazed gunman.
Let me send you a dollar so that you may go buy a clue.

The ignorance of some people just simply abounds throughout these blogs.
Go to sleep firman101.
