James Franklin, ex-Penn State doctor had strained relationship, per testimony in wrongful termination trial

[RaleighPittFan]

There’s always two sides to every story, but this side doesn’t shed a very good light on the AD and head coach of
the football program at the school to the east.

How much more evidence do people need? But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. As long as you win, fans of some schools can forgive anything.

Franklin is a piece of garbage.

 

[Upg bobcat]

I'm no fan of Franklin, but Narduzzi has had plenty of strained relationships, too. Being a football coach requires a discipline and intensity that can repel some people.

When you put the physical health of these athletes in danger, it is not about strained relationships. We ain't talkin' bout strained relationships, WE TALKIN' ABOUT INJURIES!

Frankly, the doctor isn't exactly an angel, either. Really surprised this hasn't been settled out of court.

Not that I'm aware of and it's pathetic since we live in a world with so much accountability etc. All 3 Pittsburgh tv news channels need to do a segment about this BS risking permanent injury to players. Smh unbelievable

They still haven't covered the Sandusky and JokePa stories yet. It shows you that Pittsburgh newspapers and television are entertainment and not news media. They are Ped State echo chamber amplifiers.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

They're the State school and this is their number 1 market. They get fair and unbiased coverage here.
You're not seeing anything? That's because all this is spewing from jealous pitt fans.

Maybe so. I don't read any of it because I don't live there and Pittsburgh media has been trash for 25+ years and nothing I have heard has convinced me they aren't still trash.
But are you saying the Patriot News is not fair and unbiased towards the Peds? Was that Pulitzer Prize the one awarded for bias?
It shouldn't matter what their market is. News media is supposed to cover the news. By choosing not to cover the negative stories about the state football factory masquerading as a school, Pittsburgh media is complicit in the cover-ups.
Just speculating here, but if one would genotype the herpes viruses from Ron Cook and Bob Smizik's lips, it would match the virus from the base of Paterno and Sandusky's genitals.

Here’s part of the other side of the story if anyone cares to read. It paints a far more reasonable picture of what probably happened.

Let me guess. You also think Sandusky is innocent based off his defense attorney.

 

[Pittnerski]

Why is the one report off limits during the trial and he can’t testify??

 

[MJG-90]

Let me guess. You also think Sandusky is innocent based off his defense attorney.

One of Sandusky’s defense attorneys ended up in jail himself for stealing money from his clients to feed his gambling addiction. And the lead attorney was some local schmuck. I don’t give two craps about Sandusky. I don’t come here to troll you guys. Check out my posting history if you don’t believe me.

But reading this, and knowing some other things, I believe this is a more reasonable version. Read the article - it’s not the defense attorney’s words, it’s the plaintiff’s words that are damning.

I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Can you be more specific and maybe I can answer your question.

Cool. That article says the district attorney said Franklin did nothing wrong. But like I said, I’m not here to troll. This is your sandbox so I’ll stop posting in this thread unless someone has a legitimate question for me.

It must be hard work trying to constantly defend Franklin. He seems to wind up involved in a legal action once every offseason.

Thanks, I guess.

That was really nothing but a recap of Franklin's defense lawyer's cross examination from court; so in that case it certainly was the other side of the story.

The jury must not have been in the courtroom when the defense attorney laid out his "far more reasonable picture" of what happened.

of course it was, our buddy Tiger is reminding us of one of Ron Cooks classic phrases, he brought that one out a lot during the height of the Sandusky scandal,

it was on the last page of the sports section but the next day the PG ran a features story on some new flavors developed at the creamery. 😁

Where does all this money to fund Penn State football's follies come from??

Penn State Athletics and Franklin weren’t being sued. It was Penn State Health and this doctor’s former boss.

I honestly don't care if this was Franklin or Duzz or anyone else. Coaches pushing for guys to get back on the field before they're cleared is the king of garbage that made me hate any trip to the trainer and risk getting held out of practice or a game. "Trainer said you were in to visit. That *body part* isn't going to keep you from missing any meetings for treatment, right?"

 

[pittchagg]

I’m a little surprised at the verdict and the judgment amount, but I’m even more surprised that Penn State let this thing get to trial. They probably should have settled this years ago.
