Call on Field Stands is back after an extended holiday/New Year break with conversation about several controversies hitting plaguing the sports world. We talk about the accusations and law suit from former Penn State football player Isaiah Humphries against Penn State claiming he was hazed. He states in the suit that former teammates sexually harassed and hazed him grabbing his genitals and contacting him with their genitals, and saying they were going to "Sandusky: him. He also claims that at least one former teammate threatened his life. Jeff and Ryan give their thoughts on what punishment Penn State should receive if these claims are proven true. The MLB has also been hit with controversy by way of a cheating and sign stealing scheme that the Houston Astros during their 2017 World Series run. Then-Astros bench coach Alex Cora has been accused of taking the sign-stealing strategies to the Boston Red Sox the following year when he was named manager and the Red Sox won the World Series. Some punishments have already been awarded to the Astros with likely penalties to come for the Red Sox. We discuss these on these on the podcast as well and debate whether they were harsh enough. We also look ahead to this weekends NFL Conference Championship matchups and pick our winners. Welcome Back! 2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the Call on the Field Stands Podcast and we hope you come along for the ride and tell your friends to give us a listen!
