If Tim Curley and Gary Schultz don’t stuff this under the rug when Paterno reports it, not only does the media mob keep its pitchforks in the garage, but he’s viewed as a hero today. Joe Paterno should not be smeared, slandered, and run out of town by an ill-informed mob because his bosses failed to act.

Side note — if it took 48 hours for the sports media to tear down a man of Paterno’s character and achievement when he has committed no crime, what happens when someone with a more questionable background is accused of something? It’s terrifying.

Wow, I didn’t know Adam James was a two-sport player at Texas Tech.

Neil Reid also told his Dad first, who then escalated it

Good Greif.

This is the dumbest headline I’ve ever read on this blog

Agreed. And was Jason being facetious when he wrote, “very, very nice job Duffy?”

Come on Jason. We are around the same age. there is no possible way you agree with Duffy.

. Bob Knight, while a hell of a basketball coach, is a pretty awful human being. I wouldn’t send my kids to play for him if I had them. I’d send them to Penn State to play for Paterno.

That’s an interesting statement. I think I would agree with it.

I knew this was a fucking Duffy article. Why was Knight an awful Human again? Why do so many of his ex-players stick up for him? B/c he wasn’t a kiss ass? B/c his players had the highest graduation rate in the Big Ten? B/c he did so much for local charities/community that everyone there still stands behind him?

I weep for the future. He was no saint, but this is. not even a close comparison. Knight yelled at a kid and the kid ran away and told his Daddy.

That’s odd because the Pennsylvania Attorney General said just that.

Link?

punish those that helped. Punish those that protected and insulated. Punish those that appear to be above it all and were in fact, enablers. Punish those that used their influence to allow it to continue.

And now we’re assuming that Joe Paterno willingly enabled Sandusky to be a pedophile? I am unable to stand behind your belief that Paterno is guilty by association without some sort of evidence.

Fair enough. He did the bare minimum.

Wrong again. Go read the grand jury report.

That’s odd because the Pennsylvania Attorney General said just that. But I guess we should take your word for it because you read the grand jury report?

It really irritates me that so many people are focusing all their anger and frustration at Joe Paterno just because he hasn’t been fired. It’s like you’re all ignorning the fact that Paterno’s “wrong doing” isn’t anywhere near the level of the other people involved in this tragedy! Administrators who actually ran the university tried to cover up this story and didn’t do anything other than tell rapist to hand over his keys! Why aren’t you angry about that?!

Jesus, you’re so busy with ctrl+c and ctrl+v on this point to see that it’s about everyone in the coverup. Sandusky is fucked and everyone knows it. Time to nab everyone responsible and Paterno is the most well known and most able to blow the lid off it, if he chose to do so.

I’m kinda with you on this … but …

We all know Sandusky is going to do time at State Penn. While not necessarily satisfying or really “justice”, we all know he’ll get punished, and we all assume in the most awful way possible, reliving what he perpetrated on his victims. I know I’m kinda taking that as a given.

Now, the next step … punish those that helped. Punish those that protected and insulated. Punish those that appear to be above it all and were in fact, enablers. Punish those that used their influence to allow it to continue.

because it looks like joepa may have been in on the cover up. he never followed up on the situation, and allowed sandusky to be around the psu program and its facilities.

This is the dumbest headline I’ve ever read on this blog

Agreed. Yikes.

We are but you’ve been too busy bitching about it to realize we agree with you.

Why aren’t you angry about that?!

Because those guys are already in deep shit rightfully and not still holding their jobs

because the football game i was watching was never interrupted by a 90-second visual soliloquy of this california raisin pederast tarp.

See, and this is why I think it’s wrong for everyone to call for Joe Paterno’s head just because he’s the face of the university. He didn’t rape kids. He didn’t see Sandusky raping kids and not call the cops. While you may not agree with his course of action, he told the guy who RUNS THE CAMPUS POLICE the story he heard (but did not witness) who then covered up the whole story.

He knowingly continued to have a pedophile in close contact with his program. If this happened at your work, where your boss let a pedophile around the office, that often contained children, you don’t think he should be fired?

This isn’t just about Joe. Fire everyone.
