Your eloquence and wit have disarmed me.

Not at all. You were never armed in the first place.

No, you need to grow up.

When an employee reports what is hearsay evidence to you about a former employee who has a huge, positive reputation in the community -- and who, by the way, you don't socialize with or work with anymore -- your alarm over the seriousness of the allegation has to be tempered by the fact that nobody is guilty of anything until found to be so, especially of a very ambiguously reported situation.

Like all the other morons in the lynch mob, you've put everything together with the perfect hindsight that neither Paterno nor anyone else on the ground at the time actually had. What Paterno "knew" was hearsay. Nothing more. He urged the witness to report the crime, and put him directly in touch with the authorities necessary to do so. PSU police are not rent-a-cops. They are trained LEO's with firearms operating under the jurisdiction of a home-rule Commonwealth municipality (Penn State UP campus.)

I don't know what your personal issues are, and I couldn't care less; but we all can plainly see that you and humbleshootyourmouthoff have them, because you're both spouting nonsense without any regard for logic or the facts.

[And you need to understand why the phrase "could care less" is one only an ignoramus would use.]

Have they found the DA that went missing and was declared dead? You know, the one who investigated this in 1998 and never pursued charges? The guy whose hard drive was missing from his laptop in his abandoned car? Any body yet?

I agree. I haven’t been guilty of idolizing sports figures since Joe Namath and Jean-Claude Killy.

My mailbox is full of ataboys.

And probably lots of pictures of Sandusky shagging kids, since you think that's so cool and all.

I feel sorry for the women in your life....a man who is still an ESPN backwards baseball cap “failure to launch” disaster.

And again, you don’t understand the freedom I have...the freedom NOT TO GIVE A DAMN, which I don’t. Only your side of kool aid lickers are invested in this. The rest of us are laughing at you.

Personally, I think Gricar committed suicide like his brother before him. I guess it’s possible he was rubbed out - given his profession - but if that were the case it would be far more likely related to drug convictions than anything to do with js or the second mile.

Oh, shaddup. Never liked Paterno and thought he stayed too long. You blaming the dead guy is another liberal trait. So which team did PA state beat that caused you to lose $$$? Pathetic loser.

My only rooting interest here is logic. -— and you’re the projection queen now. I could care less about Penn State either way. I respect their program, but it’s no longer relevant nationally, and with Harbaugh and Meyer in the Big Ten, probably will stay that way.

My rooting interests are in the south.

The idea that this is still about who wins and loses football games proves who the child man is. You. The “lost a bet” accusation is embarrassing. Did your life inspire “Failure to Launch?”

It’s just logic: Paterno is either guilty of covering it up, or being willfully ignorant of what was going on under his nose. A or B. There is no other choice. I could believe either. I do not claim to know which it is.

Look failure to launch....I realize you cannot comprehend an adult not giving a FLYING FK about Penn State - but trust me, we’re out there. Some of us actually grow up and put childish things aside.

I’m not saying no one should support their team or watch the games, but I am saying that investing so heavily in a coach or a team is infantile. And to assume everyone with a different point of view somehow gives a shit about your team and coach is paranoid and absurd, not to mention psychotic and a good dose of projection thrown in.
