Cook's Monday column:
"While Pitt struggled all day with a backup quarterback to put away a really bad Duke team (one that would finish dead last in the best conference in the world, the big 10) the best coach in college football (outside of the legendary Joseph Vincent paterno) was cherry picking the best recruits in Pittsburgh. On his weekly call into the cook and pony show, James from state College confirmed that Penn state has video evidence of referees conspiring to fix games against Penn state. When I pressed James as to why this would be, he responded that most humans are jealous of his team. Look for the post gazette to put all of its legal resources into finding the truth of this statement. "
Editor's note: When pressed by the Commonwealth as to the post gazette''s silence on the Sandusky affair, we would like to remind our readers that since it was not a football matter, we felt coverage of it was not warranted. We stand by these comments.
