Back in 2007 Penn State running back Austin Scott was accused of rape by Desiree Minder. After he was arrested for the charges, Joe Paterno did what you’d expect any college football coach to do when one of his players has been arrested for such a crime. He kicked him off the team...

I hope Dewayne Wise cherishes that framed picture Mark Buehrle gave him -- my favorite part of it being that Buehrle signed it "Way to make a routine play look hard" -- to commemorate his catch in Mark's perfect game because it seems that Wise's career as a Chicago...
