Weighing in on the week that was the Penn State Scandal

On my radio show Saturday morning, my producer/co-host Joe and I had our first chance to talk about the Penn State child sex abuse scandal on the air.

Plenty is discussed in this opening segment, which can be found below, but above all, I found it astounding that Joe Paterno became so big, that the entire culture surrounding the program became centered around him. It's a toxic culture. And it led to plenty of children's lives being harmed. 

Listen to some of my Penn State thoughts HERE. 

Evan Cohen goes national

A bit of congratulations are in order for ESPN760's Evan Cohen as he is moving and shaking this sports radio season.

Cohen, the afternoon drive (4-6 p.m.) host of ESPN760, has taken a position as the morning host (6-10 a.m.) at Sirius/XM's Mad Dog Radio.

Sirius/XM is based out of New York City, however, in taking on this new opportunity, Cohen will remain as the 4-6 p.m. host at 760 as well.

Thank God for technology. And for frequent flyer miles.

Whether it be from New York or West Palm Beach, he'll be doing two shows a day, five days a week.

Yikes. That's a lot of work.

For Cohen, it's worth it, seeing as he grew up listening to WFAN, idolizing Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, whom he now works for/with. Not to mention he grew up a Mets fan and his co-host is former Mets General Manager Steve Phillips.

That's just the surface of what is actually a really interesting story about how a childhood dream fell into place.

So those of you who are loyal listeners to Evan's show at 760, you now have the pleasure of paying $12.95 a month to hear him for 20 more hours per week.

I made the investment. Four days in, gotta say it's worth it.

Congrats Evan!
