Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Afternoon links: Rounding up your Penn State reading for the day
Posted by: Michael Rand under NCAA: football Updated: November 9, 2011 - 3:15 PM
Here is a roundup of what we consider some of the most interesting reading on the Penn State mess:
*Good piece in the Beaver County Times noting the strange timing of Jerry Sandusky's retirement and questioning whether a MASSIVE cover-up was in play. It was apparently published seven MONTHS ago.
*Gregg Doyel at CBS bringing the heat on Joe Paterno (as many others have), saying essentially he should be done immediately or 5 minutes ago, whichever is sooner. (Which one really is sooner? That's kind of an existential question).
*Deadspin link on a legal loophole that could help a couple of Penn State administrators, surely much to the chagrin of many.
*Penn State President Graham Spanier won't make it through the day with his job, says the Lehigh Valley paper.
