... a judge has ruled that the Paterno family cannot sue the NCAA or Penn State? They're stating that this is the second time they have ruled on this. I'm assuming that this is erroneous and relates to yesterday's rulings. Amazing how incompetent the media is.
 
Wasn't it just that they could not sue PSU or the NCAA specifically for breach of contract?
 
That was my understanding, but they didn't specify that in their report tonight. Flatly stated that they couldn't sue Penn State or [/I]the NCAA.
 
Not the only place I have seen this headline. Just goes to show how stupid reporters are.

The judge ruled ONLY against the breach of contract claim. Commercial disparagement is still in play.
 
Re: ^^ This^^...

I grew up in Western PA and KDKA was the station to go to to watch PSU highlights, WTAE with Bill Hillgrove was the Pitt flagship station. IIRC KDKA had John Sanders as their sports guy and was very good.
This fall when I went back home I guess KDKA turned into the CW and it was pathetic. Their Sports show basically consisted
of a bunch of call in's from viewers. They didn't even do much Steeler news.
The whole thing was just a god awful.
 
Re: I no longer watch KDKA sports. Bob Pompeani is awful.****

This wasn't on the sports portion. The main news. Agree though, Pompeani is, and always has been terrible. He even looks like a cartoon. Was one of the first calling for the death penalty for PSU. Hate him.
 
How can one keep a job, without putting any thought or effort.....

into one's work? It is mind boggling.
 
This ^^^^. By the way, CBS 21 in Harrisburg reported it the same way a day or 2 ago. Didn't specify for breach of contract or mention anything about the gag order or ncaa can't stop depositions of university presidents that were ruled on at the exact same time.

I have come to the point of view that is just not incompetence anymore. It's willful action to only report 1 side of the story. They just can't report these things incorrectly so many times without it being intentional.
 
Re: Ask them...

Personally, I can't be respectful to the media anymore.
 
He's a shill for Pitt

Any commit Pitt gets is a big deal. Avoids reporting PSU commits whenever he can. Most recently, he reported a 2*+ commit Pitt got. The best he could do was say the kid was in the WPIAL top 25. The Shill somehow avoided reporting that the McGovern commit was a 4****, that he was top 250, and the number 1 center in the country.

I would think Pomp is a Pitt grad and is part of the resentful Pitt gang.
 
Pompeani didn't go to Pitt. He only went to Point Park.

His little man's complex with that degree is even worse than those with Pitt degrees. Back then, Point Park was a single building in an ugly part of town.

Bob "Pomp" Pompeani is the KDKA sport information director.

That should explain it all.

His producer

Mike Vukovcan, or however the hell you spell his name, is a true PSU hater and trying to get involved with recruits on twitter. I am blocked from his feed, but see some retweets that make me shake my head. Guy is shameless in trying to push kids to Pitt with the minimal influence he thinks he has with KDKA. It is funny watching try to be a recruiting insider and come up wrong looking the fool 95% of time though. He had Pitt fans celebrating for a few hours when he "reported" Petrishen to Pitt the night before he picked PSU LOL.

The 2 of them together are enough to make me never tune into that news unless they were to hire Kate Upton to anchor it naked.
 
There are full-blown morons out there that are significantly smarter

than Vukovcan. He comes across like a 6th grade dropout.

Check this out, regarding him and Franklin and Twitter:
