They sure have an eye for class at pedd state.
A great fit for the b1g east

I hope Iowa Stomps their ass into a mud puddle in Iowa City this year and I think this team is more than capable of doing that
He definitely pulled a Bud Kilmer with McSorley last season in our game
Yeah they're definitely of the same mold no doubt about it.What a bottom feeder!!!!
Move along...nothing to see here..I'm sure the folks at Ped U are claiming this just the Big Ten's fault somehow.
Until Franklin joined the BIG, I always had Dantonio as the most classless, win at all cost coach in the league, but this guy is giving him a serious run for his money. Stuff like this and trying to block a punt on a team that your up by 50 points on, and then even worse trying to justify it when everyone in the media actually called him out after the game, just shows what a total a%% hat this guy is.....
Good. Fire him and make sure that Iowa beats Penn State this time, instead of allowing them to get the better of Iowa after all our fans mock them for their misgivings....................
Just sayin.

Neither. It's pedd state.
I guess we can see one of the "cheaters" that jimmy was talking about
I'm not sure which bothers me more: What Franklin did, or that a Doctor of Medicine didn't have the courage to tell Franklin to FO.
No kidding. It's Sandusky St., if I'm a doc I go screaming it on high if I think the coach is messing with any kids health.
$$$ does strange things to a person’s courage, and character, for that matter.
Franklin was a doooooooshhhhhhh long before he got to State College.
Article says this doctor "resisted" the interference,... I take that as a phuck off to Franklin..
Obviously he didn’t comply as he was removed as the orthopedic physician for the team and Director of Athletic Medicine for the University.
I have no love loss for James Franklin and after nebby the team I most want to beat is PSU. At this point all this is, is an allegation. The merit of this is yet be determined. For all of you to convict on ONLY one side of the story is completely F'ed up. There is ALWAYs two side to every story.
Yes, but the other side of the story coming from PSU is normally a lie, fabricated, and wrong.
No one has been convicted of anything.
I have seen Franklin's behaviors. I can have whatever opinion I want of this allegation.
I believe it.
You can choose to disbelieve it.
You are correct. But this being said about Franklin is completely believable. I don't think many are astonished by the allegation.
I don't. Doc continuously worked for Franklin for five years, and collected pay checks, yet waited to file his lawsuit until he was fired. Doc should have nipped it in the bud immediately (the same way Paterno failed to do), and not wait a half a decade to identify the problem.
Penn State tends to have a problem with their staff reporting things at the correct time.I don't. Doc continuously worked for Franklin for five years, and collected pay checks, yet waited to file his lawsuit until he was fired. Doc should have nipped it in the bud immediately (the same way Paterno failed to do), and not wait a half a decade to identify the problem.
Right. It’s not as if Penn State doesn’t have a history of “should have” working against them. Lots of things “should have” been done at Penn State but the culture of protecting the football program remains on that campus.I don't. Doc continuously worked for Franklin for five years, and collected pay checks, yet waited to file his lawsuit until he was fired. Doc should have nipped it in the bud immediately (the same way Paterno failed to do), and not wait a half a decade to identify the problem.
Did Franklin rush players back into action before they were ready, risking further injury? I have no idea, but it certainly isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. Provided this doctor isn’t a complete moron, he documented every recommendation he had regarding players’ readiness to return to action.
I was going to say...It even says in the article that 'he resisted the alleged interference' and he thinks he was fired for being a whistleblower. It's to be noted, he's only suing for 50K.
have you never seen the dbag on tv? do you think it's a lie?
do you think the doc just wants attention? I believe he is suing for 50k, clearly it is not about money.....
