Regis Philbin Says Penn State Sanctions Were Excessive

Regis Philbin is not on television right now and that is probably a good thing. I have a feeling he would have got in trouble this week for his thoughts on the Penn State sanctions. Cameras caught up with Regis yesterday and asked him about the Penn State sanctions and Regis said it broke his heart to see the statue of Joe Paterno removed. So, Regis believes in protecting those who cover for child molesters? Thinks they should have statues? He also said the sanctions were excessive and overblown. He says they are punishing people who had nothing to do with it. I can see that point, but it also sends a message to every other school that they better not be covering anything up or you will get a whole lot worse punishment because you have been warned by this punishment. When schools get punished there is never anyone still there because all the coaches have usually been fired or have quit and all the players have moved on because the investigations take so long. So, with Regis' logic, no school should ever be punished for doing something wrong because everyone is not there anymore.
