Bill Cosby is the go-to celebrity at the Penn Relays – perhaps to the carnival what Jack Nicholson is to the Lakers or Spike Lee is to his Knicks.
Each year, Cosby can be found on the Franklin Field infield, and 2011 was no exception. Wearing a gray Penn track suit and a canary yellow Penn Relays official’s hat, Cosby posed for pictures, shook hands, and congratulated athletes Friday and Saturday.

Without a strong union counterpoint Big Business will continue plow us all under.
