Bell finished at Penn State?

I haven't posted on here for a hot minute but I thought I'd come out of hiding to bring to everyones attention some troubling news. Info on TAP suggest that this kid may have some serious anger management issues. This is terrible on so many levels if true. That's all I'll say, I'm sure Mike will have something up shortly.

Why
is it that some of these new guys just don't get it.  I know that they are young, but don't you think they would get it?

I'm tired...
of hearing about this crap.  If it's true, get rid of him.

I can.......
understand a guy here or there, but when you start piling up the numbers we have you have to ask yourself if we feel desparate to take these types recently.

Like it or not.......Penn State football is a circus right now.  I pay pretty close attention to these types of "Headlines" and over the last 12 months nobody has dominated the papers for bad reasons like Penn State.

The question is........why ?

Should we be that surprised?
I mean, here we have another repeat offender. It seems like it's just six or seven guys causing all the problems. You never hear about problems coming from the other 80-some guys on the team. Either these few problem kids have to get it or they need to be kicked off the team. Until that happens we can expect more of the same from them.

Couldn't have said
it better Mike.  The bad apples need to go period.  I know Joe wants these guys to change, but the repeat offenders need to go.  How stupid can you be?  You know everyone is looking at you, just waiting for a screw up.

Agreed
We all have had moments of making poor decisions but when you see a pattern like this it is time to move on.  The fact that he is carrying a knife to lunch with his teammates really tells you he is a screwed up kid.  
So Baker (insert any of the other 6-7 dumbasses here) stops by his room and says "wanna go to lunch?" and Bell asks if he should bring his knife or his nunchucks. Dumbass #1 replies that he is packing a tazer so a knife should do it. Then when they order the chicken cosmo all hell breaks loose.

My opinion
Let me start by saying that I don't think people fully understand what is going to happen to Penn State football, the atmosphere and the TV coverage when JoePa leaves, but it might be time for him to go.  There is no one watching over the kids.  They don't respect what the man says.

it shouldn't
...even come down to  Joe "watching over the kids" these "kids" are 18-22, well beyond the age of needing someone to make sure they don't make stupid decisions. Yes some structured guidance would be necessary, but who's to say that isn't already in place. When it comes down to it, the kids just aren't the same. Granted, I'm only 25, but there is a huge difference between myself and the children i work with, most every child has been taught that they don't have to answer to anyone but themselves, and if someone tries to tell you what to do, well piss on them, because mommy and daddy told me that i don't have to do anything i don't want to. If i were to act like a complete asshole like these kids do, i would've gotten my rear handed to me on a silver platter. Maybe thats what these kids need, a good old fashioned ass kicking from someone they need to respect. Unfortunately until the cycle of "i only have to answer to myself" gets broken, society not going to get any better.

Nobody watching over the kids
I don't think that's a fair argument. FOS just released details of the police report.

http://pennstate.scout.com/2/744585.html

In there is says Dick Anderson, Mike McQ, and Kermit Buggs were there in the dining hall when this happened and diffused the situation. These kids are around the coaches all the time for team meals, practice, and study halls. Every minute of their day is practially planned for them. Short of tucking in all 90-plus players at night I don't know what else the coaches can do as far as "watching" them.

The problem to me seems to be the coaching staff is struggling to relate to the troubled inner city youth of today. The drill sargeant routine worked on kids 20 years ago. Kids today need their ego stroked. They need to feel like their coach is "there for them" and "getting their back". When you inflict punishment on them sometimes you drive them further away from you. I think this is the problem we're seeing acting out more than the coaches just inflicting more control. These kids just don't like playing for Joe Paterno. So when the man gives them advice it goes in one ear and out the other.

Mario Manningham

Manningham
Wasn't he pulled over in a car with pot in it in 2006 and got off scott free? I guess the Ann Arbor DA and State College DA don't compare notes. Of course I think the fine for getting caught with pot in Ann Arbor is like $5.

Ann Arbor Police
Which is weird because when i went there for the game last year we were ridiculous and the cops were dicks.  I even knocked out some Michigan guy for trying to pick a fight with me and saying Jordan Norwood was a pussy.  haha   pardon my french

Ummmm
Smoking Pot versus going after a teammate with a knife...kind of not the same thing.  To quote my my man Jules, it aint in the same league, the same ballpark it ain't even the same fu--ing sport.
