PennLive The son of former Penn State coach Joe Paterno wrote a letter to Ohio State University head coach Urban Meyer last year in hopes of getting a job with the organization, according to new court documents.

Paterno went on to write, “For you [sic] Ohio State — I would bring a diverse set of experiences on and off the field that would be an asset to your program. My career has included success in recruiting, coaching as well as leadership in social media and public relations.”

Funniest article I have read all year. As a matter of fact I was 100% certain this I was reading something on The Onion. Turn’s out it’s all real and thus even funnier.

I am not sure if Jay has really big balls, or is just stupid. He comes out HARD addressing Coach Meyer as “Urban.” I know Jay had an awful father but I’d expect Joe taught a little more respect to address his FAR superiors appropriately. Later in the letter he goes on to claim he had “success in recruiting, coaching as well as leadership in social media and public relations.” LOL No, no, and HELLLLLLL NO. Lol come on Jay, this is lunacy.

Since the Yuppie Yinzer is fair and balanced, lets get Buckeye Nation’s thoughts on bringing aboard Paterno.

Yea sorry Jay, the Buckeye’s seem set on the other former Penn State coach who guys fired…

Fun fact, any time I interview a Penn State alumni I offer the same “cliche interview litmus” question… “Joe Paterno: Heaven or Hell?” No matter how good or bad the interview is up until that point, it tells you all you need to know.

Laughing at that poor poor university, a tradition unlike any other…. hit it.

Deadline Warner Bros has changed course and just released a pristine version of the sizzle reel for Suicide Squad shown during the studio’s Hall H presentation at Comic Con on Saturday. Someone in the crowd recorded footage that was meant solely for show attendees, and posted a lousy quality version online. Yesterday, Sue Kroll, the studio’s president of Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, told Deadline that the leak was a breach of trust the studio enjoyed with the Comic Con faithful, but because the film is still in production, the studio wouldn’t release a better version. Likely after seeing the lousy pirated version gain viral traction, Kroll has changed her mind.

Boom.

We saw the same logic when the first grainy Batman v Superman preview leaked and only hours later Warner gave us the HD version. Again thanks to some clever spies in attendance for the big reveal, the whole world gets a preview of DC’s Suicide Squad.

There’s been enough leaked behind the scenes shots that told us the Joker would play a prominent role in this movie but even with that knowledge it was awesome to get a glimpse of the next Joker in this ‘post-Ledger’ world.

The real MVP in this one is going to be Margot Robbie. DC slinging sex appeal with the jokers equally insane side piece is a good way to protect itself if the movie otherwise sucks. Hopefully they don’t screw this one up, make Suicide Squad rated R and let Margot channel her inter Wolf of Wall Street smut…

While we can hope Marvel follows suit and gives us a better quality Deadpool trailer, it looks like that may take a little more time…

First: The new Batman vs Superman trailer drops at Comic-Con.

Then hours later MLB’s “Dark Knight” Matt Harvey hits his first career home run.

Then, only a few short hours after that, the orignal Batman, Pittsburgh’s own AJ Burnett does a dinger against John Lackey.

Obviously AJ’s was way better and much more badass but some weird shit going down out there today.

First impression of a third preview… I like that they’re pretending it’s real life. The first Superman movie became laughable when the “hero” leveled Metropolis. 

I suspect that destruction in the prior film plays into Bruce Wayne losing even more family and fuels his disdain for Superman. 

It sucks that in the end we know they bury the hatchet and team up to fight the real DC bad guys but maybe they’ll come up with an original idea, go away from the comic books, and have Batman say fuck it and team up with Lex Luthor. 

Bold prediction: playing with Kryptonite causes Lex’s hair to fall out…

PS Wonder Woman? I’m all for this Avengers-esqe collection of good guys but I’m not sold on this “Xena Warrior Princess” look selling the illusion that this is real life.

Godamnit, suck more than Penn State. That o-line cant even block for the former #1 QB. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this kicker get maimed week 1.

Such a Penn State move for a kicker to announce his commitment via a Twitter video. I’m almost positive the kicker rankings on recruiting sites like Rivals and 24/7 are the least visited webpages on the internet. No one give a shit about kickers until they miss 4 field goals in a game including coming up short as time expires allowing a return for a season ending TD.

Lets check in with the National Champs and see how much kicker-dick they’re sucking.

Thank god we can still make fun of kickers in a politically correct world where everyone else is safe.

Never change Penn State

With the conclusion of the Women’s World Cup, it became time for every internet troll to step up on their soap box and cry foul that the US Women, who won, earned 18 times less than the US Men, who did not even win the cup.

ESPN: “Not Even World Cup Champs Can Avoid The Pay Gap”
Newsweek: “Inequality Hangs Over US Women’s World Cup
CBS: “Is The US Women’s Soccer Team Getting Short Changed?”

ESPN also threw a cute little graphic out there to support their tears.

Hope Solo joined the conversation with her two cents:

I kindly ask that all you people sit down and shut up.

No matter how much you want to cry about Jane the Plumber making 20% less than Joe the Plummer, the logic is irrelevant here.

Let’s let Joe from ItsJoe.com explain.

As the actual facts indicate, FIFA did demonstrate pay inequality when they gave the women a slice of the pie that was four times the slice the men got!

Simple economics, if fewer people are showing up to games, and fewer people are buying jersey’s, then there is going to be fewer dollars floating around to share.

It would be utterly ridiculous if some Canuck suggested profit sharing with the much more prosperous MLB, NBA, or NFL. Same story here people, the women made less money because YOU weren’t watching it on TV and hyping it up the same way you did for the men last summer.

Previously on The Yuppie Yinzer: Thank God the Pirates Were at PNC Park Last Night to Save a Grounds Keeper From the Hungry Tarp

“7/7/15”

“Tarp Man”

Boom. That right there is how you take a ball and run with it. Glad to see the Pirates ground crew understandsthat concept unlike the Pirates PR people who refuse to accept my golden ideas that include an AJ Burnett as Batman bobblehead, Vanimal Crackers, and the Kang Gong.

If you’ve ever tuned into a Bucco game you know how they love shots of the crowd. Usually its just a nice family having a great time, or a Yinzer waiving their Jolly Roger, but this weekend the camera was zoomed in on a nice piece of Pirates artwork.

Was it a poster rolled up? A t shirt? When the camera panned out, it was clear we had a potential fan of the year on hand.

That is about as hard to the paint as a super fan could go. Tattoo’s seem like a bigger deal, but it’s a common passion amongst fans and are a dime a dozen. Having a pimped out prosthetic like this is big leagues.

Odd’s this woman has a Penguins and Steelers prosthetic in her closet? I’m setting the Penguins at 200-1 and the Steelers and 3-1.

The Pirates are making national news again.

Fortunately it’s just grounds crew shenanigans this time and not another no-hitter.

Scary moment there when the winds picked up but fortunately we have a team of nice guys who were happy to make the rescue. I hope one day there is a machine or similar piece of technology that can predict weather and warn the locals of any potential severe weather…

Back in April, Smut Wars IV pitted Daenerys Targaryen against her body double.

While the answer seemed quite obvious that the student had trumped the teacher, my sentiments did not appear to be share…

I felt like Danny after going to the dentist… Was this real life? In what world does “fake” matter in “Would You Rather.” I’m not even sure that’s a valid argument. That thought has only been proven wrong anytime a Terminator Trailer airs showing a rather repulsive Emilia Clarke.

There must be some sort of record here, I do not understand how polarizing the same person could be with and with out a wig.

Meanwhile the body double, who will now be referred to as “Rosie Mac” has thrown hay maker after hay maker on her Instagram, the most recent, a nice little shower video…

Child please, kiss the baby, this one’s over. If you’re choosing Emilia Clarke over Rosie Mac you need a straight jacket pronto.
