GAME. BLOUSES.
You know the deal by now, fam. What did you miss on a Monday this time of year? FOOTBALL. College, pros, blowouts, heartbreaks, laughs, grumbles, selfies and top hats? We even had an injury while celebrating on Sunday — a classic. We got it all for you. Here’s the best of what we witnessed this weekend:

Think I just saw Diggs do a shoveling motion as a TD celebration. Cuz his name is Diggs I assume. That's so terrible that it's awesome.

#ICYMI
Our brother Mike Wise penned an urgent, important piece this weekend in light of Penn State honoring former coach Joe Paterno on Saturday. Wise reminds us that it’s not up to Penn State or its fans or to Paterno’s family when it comes to deciding when and how Paterno should be remembered — it’s up to a group of people far more important.
Four Octobers ago, I stood in a single-file line outside a small county courthouse in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. It was a crisp, sun-dappled fall day. I’ve never experienced such rage. We were waiting to get into the courtroom where Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach at Penn State, would be sentenced to 30-60 years in prison for the sexual abuse of 10 boys. The college president would resign. The athletic director would resign. And the head coach was fired in disgrace. They all knew….Sandusky used his Second Mile Charity for at-risk and underprivileged youth to groom his victims. He did not discriminate. Black, brown and white kids were molested, their economic status creating another layer of vulnerability. Many of these boys were orphaned. They didn’t merely come from broken families; they had no family. Second Mile and “Touchdown Jer”became their family. They say, “We are Penn State.” They call themselves a family …Well, I happen to know something about families like this.
PICTURE PERFECT
