It seems like everyone has been or is gone this week. 2-6 today on SportsHub was "FratBoi Power Hour" staring "I'm 32 but my mind is still Beta Theta Pi, word, yo". Sometimes I wonder if DA is Jim Rome's illegitimate son. Thankfully, ESPNRadio didn't relegate itself to such garbage.

I can't take anything away from how disgusting Sandusky sounds and the harm he did to everyone involved, if true, but that's what a trial is for. To their benefit, most of the radio hosts around here did. If you asked for folks to give someone the benefit that a trial does, no matter the crime, you were accused of saying Sandusky is innocent or everyone was lying. Or that you abused kids. Or that you didn't care about children. Or that you supported child abuse. Something... When rule of law goes, it's probably too late, but a scary though... The harm in this is that folks who should be considered credible by being allowed on the air, even if you disagree with their argument, were perverting the system.. that's more scary than all of it.

It's amazing when Callahan speaks in absolutes..."There was no intention by Federico...."....how the hell does he know? He did the same with their heroic rants about Jerry Sandusky..."Paterno KNEW...McQueary KNEW...Curley KNEW...blah, blah, blah..." There is only one side to every story when it comes to Callahan...his side. Don't think those two creeps aren't still painfully thin-skinned over the METCO story. I made one reference about it in a reply to John Dennis on twitter and he blocked me within seconds. I listened to those two idiots this morning as well.

That incident may not have been their intention for the joke but it does bring up the double meaning possibility that was referenced in the Lin headline. What I found more hypocritical than this was last week when Ordway was criticizing Jason Whitlock for his insensitive remarks. You don't get to do that when you play the "Have you seen my baseball" soundbite every time John from Medford calls them.
