BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- In what sounded at times like a locker-room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie "Seabiscuit." With his accusers seated behind him in the courtroom, he denied committing "disgusting acts" against children and instead painted himself as the victim. And then, after he had said his piece, a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday, all but ensuring the 68-year-old Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the child sexual abuse scandal that brought disgrace to Penn State and triggered the downfall of his former boss, football coach Joe Paterno. He leaves behind a trail of human and legal wreckage that could take years for the university to clear away. "The tragedy of this crime is that its a story of betrayal. The most obvious aspect is your betrayal of 10 children," Judge John Cleland said after a hearing in which three of the men Sandusky was convicted of molesting as boys confronted him face to face and told of the lasting pain he had inflicted. The judge said he expects Sandusky to die in prison. In a disjointed, 15-minute address before he learned his sentence, Sandusky said: "In my heart I did not do these alleged disgusting acts." Sprinkling his remarks with sports references, the former assistant coach spoke of being locked up in a jail cell, subjected to outbursts from fellow inmates, reading inspirational books and trying to find a purpose in his fate. His voice cracked as he talked about missing his loved ones, including his wife, Dottie, who was in the gallery. "Hopefully we can get better as a result of our hardship and suffering, that somehow, some way, something good will come out of this," Sandusky said. He also spoke of instances in which he helped children and did good works in the community, adding: "Ive forgiven, Ive been forgiven. Ive comforted others, Ive been comforted. Ive been kissed by dogs, Ive been bit by dogs. Ive conformed, Ive also been different. Ive been me. Ive been loved, Ive been hated." Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts, found guilty of raping or fondling boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile. He plans to appeal, arguing among other things that his defence was not given enough time to prepare for trial after his arrest last November. Among the victims who spoke in court Tuesday was a young man who said he was 11 when Sandusky groped him in a shower in 1998. He said Sandusky is in denial and should "stop coming up with excuses." "Ive been left with deep painful wounds that you caused and had been buried in the garden of my heart for many years," he said. Another man said he was 13 in 2001 when Sandusky lured him into a Penn State sauna and then a shower and forced him to touch the ex-coach. "I am troubled with flashbacks of his naked body, something that will never be erased from my memory," he said. After the sentencing, prosecutor Joe McGettigan praised the victims courage and dismissed Sanduskys comments as "a masterpiece of banal self-delusion, completely untethered from reality and without any acceptance of responsibility." "It was entirely self-focused as if he, again, were the victim," McGettigan said. Lawyers for the victims said they were satisfied with the sentence, but with four lawsuits brought against Penn State and several more expected, and Penn State labouring under severe NCAA penalties, cleaning up in the wake of what may be the biggest scandal in college sports history may take years. Ben Andreozzi, a lawyer for one the victims, said the university needs to do more: "Its important they understand before we get into serious discussions about money, that there are other, noneconomic issues. We need apologies. We need changes in policy. This isnt just about money." Penn State fired Paterno after Sanduskys arrest, and the coach died of lung cancer three months later. The scandal also brought down university president Graham Spanier. Two university administrators, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, are awaiting trial in January on charges they failed to properly report suspicions about Sandusky and lied to the grand jury that investigated him. Over the summer, an investigation commissioned by Penn State and led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh concluded that Paterno and other top officials covered up allegations against Sandusky for more than a decade to avoid bad publicity. After the report came out, the NCAA fined Penn State a record US$60 million, barred the football team from post-season play for four years, cut the number of scholarships it can award, and erased 14 years of victories for Paterno, stripping him of his standing as the coach with the most career wins in big-time college football. In a three-minute recorded statement aired Monday night by Penn State radio, Sandusky described himself as the victim of a "well-orchestrated effort" by his accusers, the media, Penn State, plaintiffs attorneys and others -- a claim the judge dismissed on Tuesday as an unbelievable conspiracy theory. "I speak today with hope in my heart for a brighter day, not knowing if that day will come," Sandusky said. "Many moments have been spent looking for a purpose. Maybe it will help others, some vulnerable children who might have been abused, might not be, as a result of the publicity." After the sentencing, Penn State president Rodney Erickson said in a statement: "Our thoughts today, as they have been for the last year, go out to the victims of Jerry Sanduskys abuse. While todays sentence cannot erase what has happened, hopefully it will provide comfort to those affected by these horrible events." .

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Before signing centre Andrew Bogut to a contract extension Friday, the Golden State Warriors waived three training camp invitees and extended the contracts of three regulars. The Warriors waived guard Seth Curry, centre Dewayne Dedmon and forward Joe Alexander. They also exercised the fourth-year contract option on shooting guard Klay Thompson and the third-year contract options on forward Harrison Barnes and centre Festus Ezeli for the 2014-15 season, as expected. "If you quote the quote The Godfather, We were settling all our family business," Warriors general manager Bob Myers said at the news conference announcing Boguts contract extension. A person with knowledge of Boguts deal told The Associated Press it was for three years and $36 million and could be worth up to about $42 million with incentives. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms had not been publicly disclosed. Boguts contract was set to expire after this season.
