O'Brien's philosophy entering the spring with his new team

Enter O'Brien, who led one of the NFL's best attacks last season as offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots and instructed a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Tom Brady.
O'Brien's philosophy entering the spring with his new team, one he has expressed often since being hired to succeed Paterno on Jan. 6, is that every job is open.
"It's a clean slate for everybody in this program," he said.
That means Matt McGloin, Rob Bolden, and Paul Jones all will get a chance to be No. 1.

Fisher had made no public statements since his surprising trade

Fisher had made no public statements since his surprising trade from the franchise he'd won five championships with. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak admitted that he hadn't given Fisher or his representatives a heads up that a trade was in the works, and that he understood if he was "emotional" over the situation.

"He may have caught wind of the rumor a day or two ago, but there was no heads up given," Kupchak said on Thursday. "It's not necessary, because a lot of times there's nothing to the rumors. How many times was one of our players traded in the last 10 days and it never took place? So you can't spend your time dispelling or confirming rumors.
