Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
OK, for those of you who haven’t responded to The Turkey’s prior quiz about the Paterno Sculpture, there is still time. I have another one for you. Perhaps this one will be easier.
Which Penn State running back who went on to play in the NFL also played Major League baseball?
Remember Lavon Chisley? His less than memorable Nittany Lion career ended before last season, having been declared academically ineligible, as the fifth-year senior defensive end’s final season was about to begin. Fast-forward one year and we find that Chisley’s woes have increased exponentially.
Chisley, who had several run-ins with the law in State College before his departure from the team, is currently locked up in the slammer in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, where he is being held on drug charges. But that is apparently the least of his problems.
Chisley would rather stay in jail in Maryland than post bail and return to Centre County, where he faces misdemeanor drug charges and is “a person of interest” in a murder investigation.
Read the full story in the Centre Daily Times.
A few days ago, I wrote that, speaking at the Big Ten Kickoff press conference on August 1, Nittany Lion head coach Joe Paterno stated that he might coach for another ten years. For those of you who might be interested in watching the entirety of Joe’s comments at that press conference, Hail to the Lion has a 17 minute streaming video of his segment.
