    Re: Joe Paterno Passes

    The biggest thing for me was the BOT funded an "independant" investigation and they only "found" four people at fault: the President, VP, AD, and Paterno at fault. "Shocker" I know. If the leaders of the university knew than obviously the BOT knew. I guess that is the only problem I have with the Freeh study.

    Just look at this list.
    I used the word wierd because I was not sure of the spelling pedofile. Ketchup and tacos work for some people. Yes your list leaves a lot to be desired, if you are connected to Penn State.

    What do you do when you find the best person on your staff is wierd and likes young boys? If he had acted and forced the people who you report to act then this story would not have had the magnitude that it has today. A big mistake in judgement by being silent and allowing his wierd staff guy to use the football facilities. In doing that Paterno and others are abetting to a crime.

    Just an awful situation and one that could have been from getting to this point. No doubt a slew of lawsuits to follow.

    The most amazing thing to me is that the AD still has his job.

    As most know,there was a independent investigation done on Penn State and it's handling of the Sandusky case:

    Say it ain't so Joe

The reason for Sandusky leaving isn't nearly as sinister as our overactive imaginations are making it out to be.

    Could Joe Pa have done more....without a doubt. But I know of at least 3 others that should have beat him to the police station. What Joe Pa did at the end was wrong and young boys paid the price, but I'm pretty sure he regretted that decision for the remaining days of his life.

    Joe Pa lived by a moral code that most of us will never understand or touch. He helped and mentored hundreds of players that are forever grateful for having him in their lives, he also set the standard for thousands of students over a 60 year career that made Penn State a model institution. Regardless of how horrible his mistake was at the end you can't take away all the good he did. We all know you never judge a person by their lowest moment nor by their highest moment.
    ...and the charges against Sandusky are bogus

    Re: Joe Paterno Passes

    So the guy who heard the second hand report gets blamed for following the law. What if the reports were not true after the fact. Funny that RO and TCR don't say abything about mcquery. Why did the actual witness not go forward. If anything blame him. Joepa should never have been brought into it but the witness never went to police first which would have done the most good. I I love that TCR would play police judge and jury without witnessing anything and think vigilanti justice is ok. Everyone dropped the ball from the witness to the bot and police and everyone in between. To sinlge joepa out is wrong on so many levels. Its a sad deal for sure but to trash an old man who died of cancer and did a lot of good and pardon him along the way made a small fortune for doing so. RO, people aren't asking you to feel sorry for him but just remember when your final days come near that people will remember you for the good you may do in life and not judge you for your worst moment in this case that was followed by the law. And with anyluck you'll be able to make a small fortune along the way as well.
