Pardon the Pun...
An interview with Bob Costas on the "Dan Patrick Show" alluded to an advancement of the Jerry Sandusky story. Costas didn't want to jinx or go into any kind of further detail on the advancement and what it could be if it happened...
He admitted that, if it didn't, he and "RockCenter" host Brian Williams would be just two guys chatting in chairs on a set- not advancing much of anything...
Instead, this is part of what we got...

Sandusky also denied being a pedophile...
But the biggest goof on the day comes from Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, who actually went head-to-head with CNN's Jason Carroll...
((HT: CNN))
Really...
Really...???
An old man showering with a young kid and it's "horsing around..."
Seriously...
And the defense in the media begins...
In the first segment on "RockCenter," Costas asked Sandusky why Mike McQueary would say what he did in the grand jury presentment. Sandusky told Costas that what McQueary said was false...
Costas: "What, then, would his motive to be to lie?"
Sandusky: "You'd have to ask him."
Sandusky's recollection was that the child turned on all the showers himself and was sliding across the floor- and that they were possibly snapping towels and may have been involved in "horseplay." He could also could not "exactly recall" the conversation he had with the one victim's mother where the presentment relayed that Sandusky told the mother that "he wished he were dead."
Sandusky, when asked about the 2000 incident where the Penn State janitor allegedly saw Sandusky giving oral sex in the shower, said that did not happen.
Joe Amendola was asked by Costas about their case. Amendola said that he expects that a number of kids will come forward and say the events portrayed never happened. Amendola also thinks that he and his legal team have identified the victim McQueary says he saw in the shower. Amendola is confident that the victim will say the incident never happened...
Costas then asked Amendola is he would leave his own children alone with Sandusky.
Amendola replied, "Absolutely."
It was also revealed by Sandusky, under questioning by Costas, that Joe Paterno never spoke directly to him about alleged behavior. Sandusky's only regret seems to be that he "showered with those kids."
Costas asked Sandusky if he was sexually attracted to young boys. He denied any interest. Costas also asked Sandusky if he thought he was a "monster."
Sandusky: "Let's just say if somehow they could hang on... that's about all I could ask right now."
