Penn State illustrates how money trumps morals

Last updated Monday, November 14, 2011 - 4:22pm

I have been a college sports fan all my life, but the recent prevalent sick behavior that rocked the world last week was downright sickening. To make it worse some students rally to defend the Almighty King Joe Paterno former head coach of the prestigious Penn State University. No excuses he is the charge. He needs to be held accountable - He makes million of dollars a year -Correct me if I am wrong is this not a institution of higher learning , to develop potential quality leaders in the community as well as society .

I want to commend the Davis School Board on taking a stand on those students involved in gang activities will no longer be allowed to participate in extracurricular sports in Davis School District. As a former student athlete both in high school and college, I alway felt is was a privilege/honor to represent the school and the community. Hopefully, students will take notice it's not how good you are athletic wise, but how respectful you are in society.

(UNEDITED)The legend of Davis county is finally going to recognize as Eddie (BigT) Tillman will be honor as he is inducted into the Weber State athletic hall of fame.Due to family obligations, I will not be in town to see my buddy Big T recieve this life time award.

I have known Eddie for over 40 years and I just want to tell the people in the Ogden/Davis county he is by far not only a legend at weber state, Davis high school but also in the community. "Everybody Knows Big T" its a experience hanging out with him. People alway coming over to him say hello - I feel I am with the president- I call Big T' the professor of life- Eddie has a positive message for everyone and its just a privilege to be around him.

(UNEDITED) I just recently got back from spending most of my summer at the beautiful beaches of long Island, New York and the New Jersey shores. During my time back east, my blood pressure many times has been very high because of the debate of wanting to built a Muslim mosque at or near Ground Zero. New York mayor Bloomberg supports the mosque his reasoning - Freedom to practice your religion any where in the United States, especially New York. Mr Bloomberg give me a break. I am for freedom of religion - but at the same time where does respect come in-The issue is about respect,not freedom of religion.
