Inquiring minds wanted to know after HBO last night. Great taste in music, Matt.
@billdifilippo I can solve the mystery Bill. I am a huge @springsteen fan and my wife surprised me at work last November for my 50th birthday with a cake and the Bruce cutout. The staff liked his presence so “The Boss” stayed.

Some personnel news: This is my last week on the news side of @PhillyInquirer. Starting Monday, I'll be a sports reporter writing primarily about Philly's pro teams. While there's so much I'm going to miss about news, I'm psyched about the new job.

#PennState safety and team captain takes the high road: "I forgive this individual because I'm nowhere close to perfect and I expect God to forgive me for all the wrong I've done in my life."

#PennState OT Will Fries on S Jonathan Sutherland: "He's really the gold standard of character in our locker room."
1:11
JF on Iowa: 75 percent of college football teams will beat themselves. They’re not one of those programs. You’re going to have to beat them. They’re not going to beat themselves.

JF: Fred Hansard can give Marcus Allen a run for his money as a dancer.
That's high praise.

What kind of man is @PennStateFball's Jonathan Sutherland (@jay_suth)?
Let @coachjfranklin fill you in:
"He's the ultimate example of what our program is all about."
"I would be so blessed if my daughters would marry someone with his character and integrity one day."

JF on playing at Iowa: It’s loud. It’s hostile. They’re on top of you. They feed off their crowd. This is why you come to Penn State, to play in games like this in these environments.
12:49
JF on Iowa and Kirk Ferentz: They are program and team that has an identity. Built and recruited and schemed toward that identity for long time. Starts with the head coach. Ability to keep assistants for a long time. Done a good job of not allowing the current fad to impact them.
12:47
JF: I'm pretty pleased with how our guys have handled it (Sutherland letter). ...I know our guys want to continue building what we're building from a football perspective.

Old-school or #racist? Writer from #Johnstown at center of @PennStateFball controversy tells @tribunedemocrat that it was "not the intent" of his letter to player to be racially insensitive. The #twitter world disagrees. @TribDemSports

#PennState DE Shaka Toney on the letter to teammate Jonathan Sutherland: “People are going to look different. People are going to sound different. People are going to dress different. It shouldn’t be a concern.”
Couldn't have said it better.

One of my teammates got this. Explain to me how this isn’t racist.
