"Do you see the Freeh report differently now than you did at the time?"
"Oh yes, very much so."

Those words came from Emmy-winning journalist Bob Costas last week in a radio interview with Kevin Slaten of KQQZ in St. Louis. Costas spoke at length to Slaten about his evolving opinion of the Freeh report, Joe Paterno's legacy, and the Penn State situation as a whole in what is some of the most balanced rhetoric I've heard from a national media source about the Sandusky scandal.

Jerry Sandusky's attorneys continued with the appeal process today, filing an appeal to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania asking for a new trial.

The filing states seven different reasons that a new trial is warranted, including the defense not having enough time to prepare for trial and a potential legal violation in the prosecution's closing argument that unfairly implied Sandusky's guilt.

With an increased public scrutiny toward the findings made in the Freeh Report, Penn State released the letter of engagement sent to Louis Freeh by the Board of Trustees earlier today to increase transparency with the transaction.

Last week, Davis released a book titled “Crisis Tales: Five Rules for Coping with Crises in Business, Politics and Life,” wherein he discusses many hotly debated topics surrounding the Penn State Board of Trustees and the NCAA.

Sen. George Mitchell has released his second quarterly report -- as mandated by the NCAA -- on Penn State's progress in abiding by the NCAA sanctions and implementing the Freeh report recommendations.
