taking a dump in your adult diaper to spite that uppity nurse?

Well, there’s that … or giving your assistant coach carte blanche access to the younger set because he helped you win a lot of games 20 years ago.

It’s touched on here, and of course nothing can be done post posthumously, but from the outset of this scandal I always wondered if it was more about an old man who for years didn’t have the mental wherewithal to still be a leader of men, but given his legendary standing with the school, the school leaders propped him up.

And that worked. Have the assistants really do the coaching, Paterno serves out as figure head spewing sentimental quotes and going to the office and practice field like he’s done his whole life.

But reality all changed the moment he learned the definition of sodomy from the ginger assistant coach. And then he made decisions that only a senile old man would make.

Which makes his claim to not know what “sodomy” means even harder to believe.

Yup.

Really? Common term in religion. JoePa was a Roman Catholic and had a degree in English Lit.

Omniscient

I can handle that. It’s more brutal when people use a $10 dollar word (and often improperly) for no reason.

So Posnanski was hired to deliver an epic blowjob of a book and couldn’t detach himself off JoePa’s nuts to go “Is this the right way to go about this?”

Who uses words like “omniscient”??? Now, maybe Omnipresence, but definitely not Omniscient.
