Summary
Dan Bernstein reflects on why the Jerry Sandusky scandal remains impossible to forget, revisiting the failures of Penn State leadership and the enduring questions surrounding Joe Paterno's role amid one of the darkest chapters in college sports history. 0:00 The Paterno Family Football Experience 31:45 Stan Kroenke shows what ownership in sports looks like 52:40 The Cubs bullpen is in crisis mode 59:50 Tommy Pham - welcome back to Chicago!! Prompted by the launch of the new Paterno Family Football Experience, Dan examines how Penn State and many of its supporters worked to shield the program's legacy while minimizing accountability for those who enabled Sandusky's abuse. Plus, Dan discusses how Stan Kroenke's approach with the Angels provides a modern example of what committed, hands-on ownership can look like in professional sports. Later, the focus shifts to the Cubs, where a bullpen meltdown has become a major concern as pressure mounts on Craig Counsell and Tommy Hottovy to find answers before it derails the club's postseason hopes. And finally, the Tommy Pham story takes another entertaining turn as the veteran outfielder reunites with the White Sox, adding another chapter to one of baseball's most colorful careers.
