"espn's Paul Finebaum said, 'it’s still hard to wrap your arms around this fall from grace,' following Penn state firing James Franklin."

I wonder if my sister-in-law, an alumna of Penn state, is pissed off?

Jerry Sandusky, is that you?

They'll hire him at N.C. after Belichick gets canned.

Censorship is alive and well on MSN comments, especially if you aren't "woke". I tried to post a comment on this article re a high school in Wilsonville, a town just outside of Portland that has a large illegal Mex population:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/makes-me-worry-ice-agents-stake-out-wilsonville-middle-school/ar-AA1OoEhE?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=68ed8b56bc1f44fc9c91ad85186848bc&ei=13#comments

This is the comment I tried to post but it violated "community guidelines":

People don't realize that around 40% (a low estimate) of illegal adult male migrants fraudulently claim to be younger than they really are. Many of these men claim to be underage and get placed in school with your children. It can be very difficult to verify age of men who come from 3rd world countries that have poor birth records, or non existent ones in some cases. There is even a cottage industry for producing fake birth records for migrants so they can lower their age and get placed in the school system with kids. Open borders zealots think it's racist and unfair to do age testing or do thorough investigations of these men claiming to be underage. They want these men in schools with your children, to them, it's simply giving them the education they missed out on and the possibility that even one boy who is actually under 18 gets questioned is too much to risk.
Maybe those school officials, instead of adopting an adversarial stance with ICE, communicate with the agency and determine if there is any danger to the children.


MSN, like most now, seems to have a service that keys in on certain keywords, or keyword combinations. The algorithms, however they work, clearly lean toward censoring comments that lean rightward, woke commenters usually stay on but my responses to them often get sent down the memory hole.
Sometimes the comment disappears immediately, I think those one are triggered by keywords, but sometimes they sit around for a while and then disappear. I suspect that some comments are put in a second category that requires a human to review. This comment hung around for a while so I'm pretty sure some behind the scenes woke censor decided to kill it. Obviously, it's something that would offend any wokester so I wasn't surprised it got deleted, but I hoped it might sneak through.

To the woke, the safety of children is always something of paramount importance when it's a White man, but giving jose, abdul, jabari or deepak opportunity to sexually abuse your daughters is different....then it's OK.

According to a financial term sheet he signed in 2022, which was obtained by the USA TODAY Network, Franklin is owed $49.7 million for being fired without cause. (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/bigten/2025/10/12/penn-state-fires-james-franklin-buyout-contract-record/86661455007/).

"Without cause"??? What would he have to do to be fired "with cause"? I mean, besides some of the, um, you know, criminal kinds of with-cause terminations in Penn State history?

Yep, on to NC. Another fat contract. Jordon Hudson not included.

Either that or Des Moines Public Schools' Superintendent, if he wouldn't mind getting by on a mere $305K a year.
