BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Nineteen people were selected as potential jurors Monday in a lawsuit by a former Penn State assistant football coach who says he witnessed onetime fellow coach Jerry Sandusky abuse a boy in the team shower more than 15 years ago.Ten women and nine men were qualified for a pool of 28, which lawyers will pare down to 12 jurors and four alternates. The jurors will hear Mike McQuearys defamation, whistleblower and misrepresentation lawsuit against the university.The jury selection process could wrap up Tuesday, and opening statements are scheduled in a week.McQueary, who played quarterback for the Nittany Lions in the 1990s, says he was working as a graduate assistant coach when in early 2001 he was in a team locker room and noticed Sandusky sexually abusing a boy. He reported it the next morning to then-head coach Joe Paterno, who in turn alerted administrators.Paternos handling of that complaint was cited by trustees as among the reasons he was fired in November 2011, days after Sandusky was charged with child molestation. Paterno died in early 2012.After speaking with Paterno, McQueary talked to two Penn State administrators, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz. But it was more than a decade later that charges were filed against Sandusky.Curley and Schultz were charged, along with the then-president, Graham Spanier, for their actions in response to the Sandusky scandal.McQuearys lawsuit argues he was defamed by a statement issued by Spanier in support of Curley and Schultz the day they were charged. He says he was retaliated against by the university for reporting Sandusky and helping the prosecution. And he says he was the victim of misrepresentation, citing assurances by Curley and Schultz they would investigate what he told them and respond appropriately.McQueary was put on leave when Sandusky, Curley and Schultz were arrested, and the university didnt renew his contract the following summer. He had been making $140,000 a year.In an August order denying Penn States request to delay the trial, Judge Thomas Gavin said McQueary has not been able to find a coaching job at any level, is unemployed and has exhausted financial resources.McQuearys lawsuit seeks prospective lost wages and damages.Sandusky was convicted in 2012 of dozens of counts of sexual abuse of children, although he maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals. Curley, Schultz and Spanier await trial in Harrisburg, after a state appeals court earlier this year threw out several of the more serious counts against them. A pretrial hearing in those cases is scheduled for Thursday. John Stallworth Jersey . The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season.

There was a time, as ridiculous as it seems now, when the Dallas Cowboys made a show of trying to tamp down expectations for Ezekiel Elliott.On a sun-splashed practice field in Oxnard, California, in early August, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan stood and talked about his rookie running back. At this time, Elliott had a hamstring injury that was keeping him out of practice a bit. Linehan said all the right things.Weve got to do the right thing by him. Hes a rookie, and so you have to make sure he gets the time he needs to develop, Linehan said, then he smiled. But then I watch what he can do out here, and I think its going to be pretty hard to take him off the field.The Cowboys arent going to take Elliott off the field. Their greatest current fear, as a matter of fact, is that commissioner Roger Goodell might take him off the field. But unless the NFL decides to suspend Elliott as a result of its investigation into domestic violence allegations against him, there appears to be nothing that can stop the former Ohio State star at the present time.With 1,005 rushing yards through nine games, with three touchdowns (including the game winner) in Sundays comeback-over-and-over victory in Pittsburgh, Elliott is dominating the league. Running behind the NFLs most dominant offensive line and taking handoffs from the only man besides him who has half a case for Offensive Rookie of the Year, Elliott is currently the most potent offensive force in the game.At this point, even with Tony Romo healthy enough to play, Dak Prescott deserves to be the Cowboys quarterback. But Ezekiel Elliott deserves to be the leagues MVP.Theres a lot going on in Dallas that has put the Cowboys star rookies in position to succeed. Merely decent offensive line play gives you a weekly advantage in the NFL of 2016, but the Cowboys are, in this area, dominant. Entering Sundays games, Elliott had 495 rushing yards before first contact this season -- third most in the leaguee.dddddddddddd He added 82 more (out of his 114 total) on Sunday night. After ambling through a hole the size of an airplane hangar door on the game-winning touchdown, Elliott said, It parted like the Red Sea. All I had to do was run.But neither Elliott nor anyone else should sell him short as a runner. He also carried with him into Sundays action a league-leading 396 yards after first contact. He?has the ability to shed tackles and maintain his momentum. He has the ability to separate from pursuers in the open field. Hes strong enough as a pass protector that the Cowboys dont have to take him off the field on third downs.?They also view him as a strong receiver, though they havent used his receiving skills much. His 83-yard catch-and-run touchdown Sunday showcased another breathtaking element of Elliotts game that may be yet to come.Elliott is, through nine games, everything the Cowboys expected him to be when they used the No. 4 pick in the draft on him. They knew they had the killer offensive line; they saw Elliott as a player who could help them maximize it. Together, he and the slobs (as he calls them) up front are executing the Cowboys offseason vision in a way even their most optimistic decision-makers could not have envisioned. They thought hed help make Romos life easier. Its a major bonus that hes doing that instead for fellow rookie Prescott.Eight of the past nine NFL MVP awards have gone to quarterbacks, and before its all said and done guys like Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Derek Carr and even Prescott may have their say in who wins it this year. But at this point in the season, it looks like one of those years when a running back stands out from the crowd as just too dominant to deny.The Cowboys cant take Elliott off the field because hes too valuable. And thats what the V in MVP stands for, after all. ' ' '
