joe paterno memorial service

State College, Pa. - Maybe I was a stranger, someone not in the insular world, Penn State, who lit microphone Thursday not approached the blue seats in the back of the stage, but the darkness of internships. Maybe someone who is still revered Joe Paterno, but he was not bound by the former coach of such grace, to go where nobody else stepped to the microphone dared to go. ¶ It was Nike's Phil Knight, chairman, one of the 12 speakers at the memory of the late Paterno, who was not part of the Penn State community to say what everyone probably wanted, but had to respect one's sense Paterno family decency to say really. ¶ "It's a tragedy villain," Knight said, looking around 12,000 attendees, "found in the research, not Joe Paterno's reaction ... I have it leads to this question: Who is the director ¶ actual words Penn State University "Knight, hit the Bryce Jordan Center as thunder, lifting the entire crowd to their feet by a roaring standing ovation that lasted a few minutes?. Knight said that when he does, he turned and left the stage and behind a black curtain.

In two hours of service of 15 minutes, otherwise hit all the expected notes - the poignant and humorous stories of half a dozen former players, Paterno for the heartbreaking eulogy delivered by Paterno's son, Jay - Knight was the only speaker who was coming to a scandal that, at least for the world outside of the state university, the legacy of the infected 85-year-old coach.

steven tyler

"American Idol" judge and sometimes Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has survived drugs, alcohol and falls off the stage, but singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" may have been too much.

The singer performed the National Anthem before the Patriots, Ravens playoff game in the NFL in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on Sunday, and the different accounts that shattered into pieces. (Other fans like Tyler was only his stylized interpretation of the song you do). In addition to their usual shouts, Tyler gave the text is about to sing "as bomb explodes in the air" rather than the desired "bombs bursting in air."

While the show was greeted with applause from the stands, the TV audience had a different reaction. Fox News, Greg Gutfeld Twitter: "I went out of his misery put a raccoon -. I realized that my neighbor was watching Steven Tyler sings the hymn"

Actor Michael McKean, who knows a thing or two about your bad day singing Spinal Tap, wrote: "'on target!" - Steven Tyler, alone. "

However, Tyler had his defenders, "Parks and Recreation" actor and the man who made Drew Peterson, Rob Lowe, with his somewhat-sorta support tweets, "# Steve Tyler !!!!"

chip kelly

Chip Kelly is doing everything fast, so probably not a surprise that only lasted a few hours for your ideas on the major advances in the NFL. But on the heels of the latest Sunday night waiting for the confirmation of his departure from Oregon, it seems that even the most famous college football lead foot is susceptible to an attack of cold feet.

As of Monday morning, Kelly has apparently decided to stick with the program he built into a coherent national competitor in Eugene, at least temporarily, the visions of a time bomb in the process of the NCAA harmless. The fit was not good: Kelly is a career college coach with only three years as head coach under his belt, just five years away from the offensive coordinator for New Hampshire. Wildlife production has been honed and refined over the last ten years can not be translated to the next level, especially in a team with a quarterback starting 250 pounds, which is a major threat to run. Kelly is a young man (48 November), but at this point in his career, moving to the next level would be primarily an exercise in ego, waiting to punch in the face of the whole world into two or three years.
