investigation at Baylor

[anon_1eeb2b426hv3y]

SAIP. Anybody notice which Philly firm was hired to conduct the Investigation at Baylor? It's Pepper Hamilton, the firm that acquired Louis Freeh's firm. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good firm and I'm not questioning the decision.

But it seems odd that ESPN doesn't seem to think the connection to Louis Freeh is worth mentioning when reporting Baylor hiring Pepper to investigate this type of matter. I would think with all the questions into the Sandusky investigation and Freeh report, the connection would create a big splash. So it seems a deliberate omission.

Just throwing it out there. Can't link. Sorry.

People claim Joe acted holier than thou. LOL

Whereas, folks at Baylor are expected to actually BE holier than thou.

Hardly anybody in the media these days has the inclination or honesty to go against something like that. Some are afraid it would actually cause them to go to Hell.

How many high profile investigations has Freeh botched? Irrespective of Pepper Hamilton's capabilities, this was a shocking choice.
