Ready to Unload: with Cal & SanpeteEpisode #11-34 - Ted Berg  Here's what we talked about: The deplorable situation at Penn State. We continued the conversation we had been having all week, while really attempting not to be sanctimonious. The blood boiled a little, but we all got some stuff off our chest about what might be the biggest scandal in the history of college, if not all, sports.

Is it finances or baseball decision for Mets.  Tony LaRussa retired, and the boys wonder if there has been a more influential manager in the sport in the last 30 years.

And Pop Culture PJ was feeling little to no pain as he called in to tell us RTU is now a part of La Cosa Nostra. Does that sponsorship come with dental? Tim Tebow has taken a ton of abuse in the media... why? And what does he have in common with Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes? Where does spirituality enter into the sports equation.
