Via Carol Anne, Post-Gazette sports editor Jerry Micco explains why his paper isn't covering the Rene Portland story more.

Frank: Why not talk to former Penn State players and coaches? Get a perspective from them? I have a cousin who played for Rene 10 years ago. I asked her at Christmas if the allegations were true. She said she was surprised that nobody had come forward sooner. It's been going on for years. Make a few calls, I'm sure there's a story there.

Micco: We are trying to reach people who are willing to talk on the record. It's much better if we can get folks who will use their name rather than be quoted anonymously. We have not given up on doing stuff on Portland and the entire situation at the University. We will continue to make calls and try to get folks to talk. If we can do that, and we're comfortable with the story, then we'll make a go of it. Also, Portland's stands against homosexuality are pretty public and were reported when they were news years ago. We're trying to concentrate on this case in particular, but we also are taking a look at other things.
