NEWSFLASH.....JIMMY HOFFA, JOE PATERNO, AND RAY GRICAR
BREAKING NEWSFLASH.............Joe Paterno was found buried under the
goalposts this morning at Beaver Stadium along with Jimmy Hoffa and missing district attorney Ray Gricar and get
this................they were all together in the same coffin! Mr. Paterno was on the
bottom so he could look away at what was going on behind him. Mr. Hoffa was found to be in the middle because he always had
to be in the middle of things and loved to be the "center" of attention. Mr. Gricar was discovered to be on top because according to the note left that was left with them they chose to bury
him that way so that in the end the laywer could get screwed by the union! In other news today Penn State won the lottery.

Black and Blue and White! The 5 C's of PSU Pt. 1
DISCLAIMER: You can feel free to express your opinions on here but do not leave threats. No one deserves that and it will not be tolerated. I say this because some folks in this "society" feel that PSU FOOTBALL can do no wrong and is "God" above all other "GODS". While this is a place to voice what you feel whether it's positive or negative, just be level headed about it and avoid making threats towards me and/or anyone else.
Today in Happy Valley the "Hounds of Hell"" was unleashed in the form of the now finished and posted Louis Freeh 267 pages with 119 recommendations investigative report. From the report itself we learned all about what I call the the former Penn State Football Coach Joe Paterno and the upper Administration's 5 C's S.O.P. (standard operation platform): Conspiracy, Cover-up, Control, Criminal Acts, and Cowardliness. Most of us have seen or read the report and some of us were not shocked by what was discovered where as some folks were still in a state of shock by what was unveiled in the report.
The discovery of what was unveiled in the investigative report and how the allegations have already been proven in a Court of PA Law, shows and tells the story of how the "Big Boys of PSU: President Graham Spanier, head football coach Joe Paterno, Athletic Director Tim Curley and Vice President Gary Schultz" were protecting their images and their legacy while covering for a staff member (who was more in touch with his pedophilia side than his humanitarian side) who was performing in what has to be the lowest, disgusting, and one of the most despicable acts committed against other human being: the raping of a child. So these "officials" who had the power to stop the monster in his tracks, refused to do or make the moral and obligational power move and instead opened the door for Mr. Sandusky who ran through it swiftly. They did nothing but discuss among themselves what they could do to keep it swept under the carpet while maintaining a clean cut professional image. Could they tell the world the truth of what was going on behind closed doors? No. Could they face their families and tell them the truth of how a monster was lurking in their neighborhood as they watched their own children walk by Sandusky's house on their way to school? No. Can they confess in court to a judge that they made a mistake and that they feel remorseful for their actions and that they should've acted sooner rather than let more and more children get hurt and take into consideration the emotional and physical suffering and stand up and say, "Enough Already"? No. They instead have followed the traditional pattern of answers given by politicians, mass murderers, and governmental cover ups: The "Deny, Deny, & Deny" route.

CONTEST TIME: sort of.................... BRYCE HARPER AUTO OMG!!!
So who wants to win a Bryce Harper Rookie autograph? To win this card all you have to do is survive going through this black hole in space that we found and tell us what you experienced as you went through the black hole while asking these top of the line journalistic questions:
Did you see any colors? Was there any feeling of weightlessness? Did you crap your pants and think "this is so not worth getting the card". Did you ask the black hole for it's birth certificate? Did you ask the black hole if it was originally a white hole? Did you ask the black hole if it was created in the TOPPS redemption department or customer service department? Did you ask the black hole if it was on steroids or HGH? Did you ask the black hole if it was from Canada eh? Did you ask the black hole if you could have a sample of it's swirl to make a relic card for 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter? Did you ask the black hole if it was okay to hold a picture of Kim Kardashian's butt next to the black hole to see if there's any comparison (further scientific research showed that no matter how many times it was "probed" the hole could never seem to be filled enough. Now as for the black hole.....well it's an endless vortex that sucks anything in it's path.)?

Thanks Upper Deck for the crap you produce!
So I finally was able to see some shots of the "ever so secretive" 2012 SP SIGNATURE baseball edition and make sure you have this nearby:
(not the cat but the toilet)
Here's the first shot of a sample of $225.00 box of cat crap looks like:
Wow.......sticker auto's....why we've never seen them before. Geeze, so much thought was put into this card design.
A card that just has autographs with names and lame dates on it. No reference to what position they played. It looks like a label off of a bottle of generic steak sauce. "Here ya go son.....put some of this Seattle Focus sauce on yer burger and it will taste even more watery!"
This is one of the chase cards you could pull and this is a US patch flag of Maury Wills. Well that says a lot about where he played or what position he played. Basically it's just saying, "he's a guy that has a USA patch" if that much even.
Folks..........this is what Upper Deck is doing to you when you buy this product:
In other words.......save yourself and take that $225.00 you have and go somewhere else with it. Save it, invest it stock, spend it on a AMISH hooker named Ulga, donate it to scientific genetic mutation research, pickup a ticket to a couple of rock concerts, or just buy some "special brownies" from that surfer dude down the street. I would suggest that you seriously skip this product and get something that is of better quality.
but wait........there's more
So I decided to look at the comments on UD's Facebook page to see if they had any reviews of the 2012 Signature series and there was rather some shockingly positive feedback by some people. I decided it was time to give an honest negative review about the product and I posted it on their comment section along with everyone else's comments and people were starting to agree with me. There was a few people that thought the cards looked awful and those comments were left on. However after a while I checked on it and some were deleted. My review had mentioned that I could not and would not support this product and I listed the reasons why and people were agreeing with me on it left and right and was liking it. Well this must've caught the attention of the UD FACEBOOK POLICE because they deleted my comments/review shortly after a while and folks started complaining. So what did I do........that's right folks........I re-posted it AGAIN. Once again there was many likes and more people agreeing with what I said about it with one guy even commenting about it being a sticker dump product. Then I heard sirens go by me again as the UD FACEBOOK POLICE struck again and removed my comment and a few other negative comments. No one it seems was allowed to leave a negative comment regarding 2012 SP SIGNATURE. So I posted a comment on how it was unfair of them to censor people and that if they can't handle a little criticism about their "SO FREAKIN GLORIOUS PRODUCT" then it's definitely not worth buying. I have not checked to see if they deleted that comment but they probably did as well.
