Late last week I traveled from California to Reading, Pennsylvania so that I could, along with many like-minded supporters, witness/protest/provoke author Buzz Bissinger as he spoke at the Penn State Berks campus. I did this because if all of the media members who have been outrageously wrong in their commentary about the Sandusky scandal, Bissinger has been by far the worst. I wrote about why I feel that way in a previous post here.

Last week there was a news story indicating that yet another victim of Jerry Sandusky had settled his case for big money with Penn State. Ray Blehar emailed me to say that he was quite certain that this particular victim was highly suspect, largely because of the age of the person and some of the details which were given in the story.

Of the many incredibly frustrating elements of the never-ending saga that is the Sandusky scandal, there is probably none more demoralizing than the reality that there have been numerous occasions where “bombshell” developments have occurred which should have altered the landscape of the story, and yet the impact of them has been minimal at best.

Here is NFL Hall-of-Famer Franco Harris "blocking" the van taking the PSU BOT members away from their most recent meeting during the "March 4 Truth."

Did he ever block this well for Lydell Mitchell or Rocky Bleier?!

Jerry Sandusky has previously told me in our prison interview  (pages 11 and 12) that Penn State should not be paying the victims, and specifically Victim 2, in his case. 

Last week I asked him about several of the most high-profile settlements which have just been announced by Penn State. Although he did not respond directly my questions, he did react in general to the settlements in a very substantive way.
