Penn State's Interim Coach Tom Bradley Gives a Painful Presser

With Penn State coach Joe Paterno officially out, fired by the university’s trustees along with the school’s president Graham Spanier, Tom Bradley has been named interim coach. And among his first pieces of unwanted business (we’re sure) was a press conference this morning where he had basically been advised by legal counsel not to answer any questions about anything the media would be most interested in.

Time and again, Bradley answered queries about the Sandusky child sex abuse case with either a “no comment” because it’s an ongoing investigation or a redirect, stating that whatever issue he was being questioned about — whether the team would play after Saturday, other dismissals, etc — was up to the school’s administration.
