For the record, I hate this story. I wish it would go away and never come back. That being said...
Bob Costas added yet another tremendous interview to his resume last night, as he had Jerry Sandusky on the phone, lawyer by his side, on Brian William's "Rock Center." Give credit to Costas, who I consider to be one of the premier sports commentators of our time, for asking the right questions.
Does Sandusky sound like an innocent man? No. Not even close. Should he have to stop and think about whether or not he's sexually attracted to young boys? Nope. That should be an easy one.
What's starting to worry me about this case, is that the United State Constitution provides for a "fair" trial for those accused of a criminal offense. With all the media hype and strong opinions being floated, they may have to move this trial to Mars to find an impartial jury.
So while Mr. Costas may have another great interview on his resume, he may have been playing right into the hands of the defense by throwing this lunatic on national TV. The last thing any of us want to see is a long legal battle that puts Sandusky back on the street through some loophole.
