Gone but not forgotten: JoePa's image, a wrestler's testicle and "loose" talk about March M@dne$$ (I don't want to get sued ...)
[Two things -- this has ended up as a bonus entry to that "My Kind of Sports Center" Theme Week I did in Feb 2011 and, with that list in the opening sentence, I would almost rather that Carnac the Magnificent take it from here ...]
This past November, Penn State mandated that the clothing shops along E College Avenue are no longer allowed to sell Penn State licensed products featuring Paterno's name, likeness, and/or image, in what may be an ill placed attempt to welcome Coach O'Brien.
A few days ago, John Levi Miller, a pro wrestler, is suing the bout's promoter over an aggressive opponent who went rogue, kicked him in the groin, and ruptured one of his testicles -- that then had to be removed.
And last year around this time, it was announced that the NCAA paid $17 million dollars to protect the term "March Madness" (TM) from being used by a local company who was including it in programming for mobile devices. Some may be focused on the "loose" language about Israel bombing Iran any time soon -- others are just protecting their money making efforts.
Days of reading the sports pages for only local team scores, you are missed.
