Penn State is in some real deep shit

[ruthless rocco]

No I haven't. Didn't realize I had touched a personal nerve.
Did you get help?

i don't understand what you mean by that.

care to elaborate what you're trying to say to me?

you think being raped is funny and making fun of people who have been raped is appropriate?

All around this is a horrible situation. I don't feel 1 ounce of sympathy for Joe Paterno, I do feel for his widow, son, et al feeling as if they have to defend him. Joe Paterno did wrong by doing nothing, as the saying goes "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing".

I also feel for the victims....that's a horrible horrible thing to have to live with the rest of your life.

If Penn State never plays another game ever again I wouldn't be sad

I agree with everything except for maybe a little on the Joe Paterno side, in that I have just a smidgen of sympathy toward him. First, he's dead now and cannot defend himself or his actions in any way. Second, he died a broken, disgraced man. I'm not sure anyone can exactly pinpoint to what degree Paterno knew of the sordid details involved with Sandusky. Maybe Paterno took a "wash-my-hands-don't-want-to-know" kind of approach. Completely reprehensible, I know.... but I for one cannot ignore the many young people that were positively influenced by Paterno throughout his head coaching career. He was, and is still, loved by many of his ex-players and alumni. He probably helped shape a lot of character in a great many young people out there today. That cannot and should not be ignored. This in no way excuses his regrettable mistakes. And as far as Sandusky is concerned, no punishment is bad enough for him. But to rip apart the whole life of another human being, who spent most of his life doing better deeds than most of us do in our own lives, is a bit harsh, I feel. And I do agree with the sentiments toward his family, who really have no fault in all this. They are suffering a degree of pain and humiliation that is hard to imagine.

paterno did alot more than nothing. by turning a blind eye to the crimes that were being committed under his nose, he turned his back on his family, community and society. his actions tell the story of a man who chose pain and suffering for innocent children over finding help for a sick friend and colleague all to attain collegiate glory... people saw him as a great man, a legend. now he's a legend for all the things he did. he was not a good man. he was a coward and a disgrace. as are all men and women who allow that kind of abuse to happen.

Louis Freeh report on PSU attacks Joe Paterno's judgment and integrity


As I read more into the Freeh Report, it appears that Joe Paterno did in fact play an integral part in concealing Sandusky's child sexual abuse, as well as lying to a grand jury about his knowledge of the case. As difficult as it is to see the legacy of a deceased man dragged through the mud.... and put his family through such pain and shame..... I suppose it is totally deserved. He didn't actually commit the crimes, but he covered them up and did nothing to stop Sandusky from continuing these hideous practices. This is such a horrible tragedy for everyone involved, starting with the victims and their families, and also for Paterno's family and everyone else involved. And of all people, it had to be Joe Paterno, who had coached Penn State's Nittany Lions it seems like forever. Thinking about it only makes me angrier at that scumbag Sandusky. I always thought, when they showed his pervert face on TV, that he looked like the twisted bastard he turned out to be.

Yup, the whole thing is a tragedy, who would have thought this shit would happen, wasn't Paterno the winningest College FB coach ever? To the PSU admins credit, they had asked Louis Freeh and the FBI to investigate, this wasn't something the FBI opted to do on their own. That was a good start by the PSU admin and the right thing to do, hopefully now PSU can start "healing", and get past all this bullshit.

Funny how this turns out...All the "life lessons" that Paterno ever taught were bullshit, just like the man himself. They all pertained to a game. The one real honest to God challenge he ever faced, that fucking coward put his head in the sand and hid. To save the "reputation" of a foot ball team. And this clown McCreary, that saw Sandusky fucking a young boy...explain to me how your reaction to that is to go and tell somebody? Why in the name of all that is holy don't you smash that pedophile and put a stop to what you are witnessing? If that piece of garbage had any sense of manhood, he'd kill himself.
Right now, the University of Montana and the city of Missoula are under federal investigation for, it seems, allowing football players to rape women. This was swept under the carpet by the football staff, the university, the city, and the police department. To the the point that an officer that complained, via e-mail, to the university was suspended. Now, why the coward would send an e-mail instead of DOING something...I guess that is how civilized people do things?
Almost everybody that I called a friend growing up, all the people that mattered to me, if they are not dead, they are in prison. They are considered unfit to be among the rest of us. But, and this is a certainty, if one among them was revealed to be a child molester or a rapist, he'd get his ass stabbed and if he survived, he'd have to be segragated. Yet our supposed "best and brightest", at every level, all day and every day, see fit to protect and cover up for baby rapers.
If you are a man, if you have any male hormones at all in your body, it is your duty to protect children, and women, too. You take the bullet, throw yourself in front of the car, bash the fucking football coach in the head with a brick and hide his body out in the yard, whatever it takes. That is why nature made you bigger and stronger.

You kind of wonder if Paterno didn't take the coward's way out, and off himself rather than face the consequences, his death seemed awfully convenient.
I thought from the get go, Paterno would have had to have known that this pedophile shit was going on, it was too fucking open, and widespread. There's no way that what Sandusky was doing never got reported to Paterno, he just chose to look the other way. (that says a lot about JoePa, doesn't it)

These people are screwed on so many levels!
NOW WE KNOW WHAT A CLUSTERFUCK MEANS!

Did you'se see that last joke in the joke section? Very topical.

You got all that from my original post? Or did you see it was me who wrote it, and immediately wrote your own smart-ass comment? My response was what I thought your own comment deserved.

As always, your opinion means so-o-o-o-o-o-o much to me.

[Spicoli]

This really is numbing seeing that it was swept under the carpet. I don't agree with 'final death' on the program or school but a full house cleaning...with bleach and steel wool...should be done on administrative staff, coaching, etc. It would be kids basically paying price in education, scholarships by the hand of the ones put in control, again, in much lesser demented way though. Paterno and what is now basically symbolism in statue should be after thought in that there are others that can wear the cuffs. Sandusky will go the way of Dahmer inside. He's fucked and hope he burns in hell, on a loop!
