WHITFIELD: All right. With today's "Big Play", HLN Sports' Jeff Fischel is with us -- that was a mouthful trying to say that together. Anyway, let's talk about Penn State and the follow up to that.</s>JEFF FISCHEL, HLN SPORTS: Yes, exactly. Now we're talking about one of the legends of the school, one of the former players now having an impact or at least the scandal impacting him. The former Nittany Lion and NFL Hall of Famer Franco Harris has been dropped by a Pennsylvania casino for simply speaking out for fired football coach Joe Paterno. Harris criticized Penn State for firing him, now Harris is the one who's being fired as casino spokesman. The casino says, quote, "In light of the recent developments with Franco Harris regarding Joe Paterno's dismissal, Franco and The Meadows have mutually decided to put their business relationship on hold at this time while these matters are looked into further." Harris thinks Paterno should actually be rehired as coach. Reports now out of Venezuela say eight people are now charged in connection with last week's kidnapping of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos. Ramos was freed by Venezuelan commandos two after being taken at gunpoint from his mother's home. The suspects include a 59- year-old woman and a 74-year-old man. To golf now. The first round of the President's Cup in Melbourne, Australia. Tiger Woods shaking hands with his former caddie, Steve Williams. Their little rift is apparently over. It was a brutal round for Tiger and his partner, Steve Stricker. Tiger shot way outside, ends up on the beach. They got blown out. Despite the meltdown, the U.S. has a 4-2 lead after the first round of play. Today, Tiger is teamed up with Dustin Johnson.</s>WHITFIELD: A second handshake there.</s>FISCHEL: Got to be polite. It's golf.</s>WHITFIELD: Got to be police, that's right. Ok. Thanks so much, Jeff. Appreciate that.</s>FISCHEL: Sure.
