Seriously, I shutter to think how many more of these we are going to hear about in the coming weeks/months

Syracuse police say they are investigating an allegation that Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine molested a team ball boy for more than a dozen years beginning in the mid-1980s.

Police stressed to Outside The Lines they are in the early stages of the investigation.

Fine

The alleged victim, Bobby Davis, now 39, told Outside the Lines that Fine molested him beginning in 1983 shortly before Davis entered the seventh grade. Davis, the team's ball boy for six years beginning in 1984, said the abuse occurred at Fine's home, at the Syracuse basketball facilities, and on road trips, including the 1987 Final Four.

I just don't even...

My encounter with a perv: I was about 11 maybe 12, I was going to the theater at Columbia Mall, walking through the parking lot and a Freddy Mercury looking guy (he did look like him) came up to me and asked if I would like a blow job. I didn't know what he was talking about, I thought he wanted to do my hair...srsly. :( anyway I said no and he took that answer but as I got far enough away from him I yelled at him "fine young male!" I didn't know really. Later after the movie I went to where my Mother worked in the mall and asked her what a blow job was...Mall security and the police were called, never found him.

I'm pretty sure my little sister's principal was one when she was in first grade. He kept stroking my arm and calling me a fine looking boy. I asked my mom if that was normal and she said no and we never went inside (or at least I didn't) to pick up my sister again.

Having just put that story into words, I shudder to think how those kids felt about Sandusky.

Since northern people are always first to jump on any racism story involving the South, why is it all these Chester stories take place up north/east?

Ok I live in Syracuse and have been up to date on this story with all the local websites and what not. Trying to not be biased and what not. Story doesn't really add up. No one would book them in the same hotel room for away games, no one would allow them to leave together on recruiting trips, why would they allow a 7th grader to leave school for recuiting trips with a coach? How would no one in the hotel see anything when every college has strict lock down policies? Why did a YOUNG MAN allow a fat older man to abuse him when he as in his mid to late 20s? Syracuse launched an investigation into this matter in 2005 and every key supporter and witness this guy said he had did not support his claim.

However all allegations of this matter need to be taken seriously. A few things many of you may not know about Syracuse/this case. Fines always been a bit weird. The Syracuse police chief at the time the initial investigation was launched was a former syracuse graduate and boeheim player in the 70s. That too me is the only thing that lends this credence for some type of cover up.

Lets wait for more to come out,

I gotta agree with HoF, this definitely needs to be investigated to the fullest extent, but a lot of the details of this case just don't add up.

If true, Fines is sick mother fuger who will deserve everything he gets in prison with a pedo tag, but the timing and details of this story just seem a little fishy.

And if this ball boy is lying, he deserves just as much punishment as Fines would get if guilty. Falsely accusing someone of a crime like this is almost as bad as the crime itself. Even if found innocent, the accused will never be able to live down that stigma.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
