Al Pacino Could Play Joe Paterno In Upcoming Biopic
Monday September 10th, 2012 11:00:26 AMAl Pacino, perhaps best known for portraying mobsters in films such as Scarface and in The Godfather trilogy, is reportedly set to portray Joe Paterno in his next project, as he is attached to a potential film to be produced around Joe Posnanski's biography Paterno, a New York Times bestseller. The agency ICM Partners will take the package, according to the Deadline report. Pacino's manager, Rick Nicita, will produce the project. The film is expected to cover the story of the rise and fall of Paterno's legacy at Penn State, as well as the controversy and scandal that continues following his retirement and death. The movie will also reportedly cover much of Paterno's own back story, and the strength Paterno had at Penn State as the football coach of the Nittany Lions. The film is in the very early stages of development, without a script, director or studio attached. For more Penn State coverage, check out Black Shoe Diaries.

Kill This Abomination!
Friday September 7th, 2012 04:00:54 PMRedditor Diego_Poop was at the Franklin Mills Mall and happened across this unholy affront to nature and snapped a pic. Seriously, this should be the lead story on Action News. Get on it Jim Gardner. Piles of the shirts should be burned and whoever made it should be shunned form society as a heretic. Flyers, Phillies and Steelers? WTF? Also it looks like an 8 year old with a windows 98 version of print shop made it.

NFL Announces "NFL Rush Zone: Season of the Guardians" On Nickelodeon
Thursday September 6th, 2012 03:11:00 PMThe NFL has announced a second season of their cartoon "NFL Rush Zone: Season of the Guardians" on Nickelodeon. The basic plot is that a kid and his friends protects the NFL against an evil mastermind. The show has real players with their real voices in it. Apparently they can’t protect themselves against some sort of evil robots from space, but this kid can. Here’s the description of season two with a video after the jump. Season two begins with Ish and his family relocating to Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where he discovers the NFL is facing a new foe, Wild Card, and his wingman, Drop Kick. The pair schemes to destroy the NFL and the world by targeting the 32 teams’ Megacores – the essence of each team, its fans and its community – and the Core itself. With the escalation of this conflict, Ish heightens his own training, skills and powers and is joined by an unlikely group of heroes, members of his local Youth Football Tackle league.
