If a guy comes to me and says he saw something in the showers you think one would not press the issue? JoePa is lying. This makes me sick.

Paterno is not going to finish the season. This story keeps growing and growing. People are going to start pointing fingers if they haven't already.

If one of Paterno’s players had one drink too many in a local tavern Joe Pa knew about it before the kid got back to the football dorm. In a town like State College nothing involving the football program passes unnoticed by Paterno.

and the university, city, county and state police agencies.

JoePa knew for at least 3 years that Sandusky was a pedophile. This was JoePa’s house! Sandusky may have been an ex-employee but he still had all access to the football facilities including his own office. This was happening in his locker room. Even if the Grad Asst. didn’t share the details JoePa didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what when on in there.

This was all about covering for JoePa’s eventual all-time winning record in CFB. That’s why they didn’t fire his but when was losing big time.

I guess being a Catholic, JoePa is taking his cues from the Vatican.

My prediction made a few hours earlier. This is going to get messy. President Spanier says he believes in the honesty of Curley and Schultz and will support them to the end. The university will be picking up their legal tab. According to the AG, Paterno has agreed to testify against Curley and Schultz. No way can they keep these guys on active staff with this looming.

This is about football, they cared more for football than they did about children, no way out of that.

People are still in denial about this. How about this quote:

“We work very hard in The Second Mile and it should have no influence in it,” said Dottie Huck, a member of the organization’s state board of directors.

Speaking personally, Huck said Sandusky has “done some wonderful things in his lifetime and we should try to help him. ... We all make little mistakes in our lives.”

Imagine that, Child Molestation being excused and covered up in Central, PA. I wonder if Penn State had some assistance in covering it up from the Diocese of Allentown? Seeing as they are the resident experts at this stuff in PA.

Huck sounds like ‘he’s’ been puffin that corncob too often and that ain’t tobacco!

She has got to be the dumbest broad in the state. Buggering little boys shouldn’t be passed over as something unpolite like picking one’s nose.

Wow. If this is going on around the gridiron, wonder what the state house boys are up to?

That's not a mistake. A mistake is a car accident, spilling something, typos, putting a wrong dollar figure in, grabbing the wrong checkbook, etc. That's a mistake.

Apologies for being graphic, but sticking a dick where it doesn't belong isn't a mistake. It's a choice. Sandusky, if he did this, could have chosen not to be an evil piece of trash in the shower.

married with kids

That's why the CDC calls it "men who have sex with men". (or males with males)

That way folks don't get hung up on defining "homosexual". The above definition describes the behavior.

In that regard Jensen's post is 1000% on target.

Abusing countless boys doesn’t make him homosexual?

The graduate assistant, the cleaning crews and all who witnessed felonies and didn’t report child rapes to the police should also be charged. the parents of all the boys who knew should also be charged for remaining quiet and letting this man continue to have access to their boys and not reporting to the police. outrageous and negligent. they should all go down.

Ah, I see. I guess instead of being the Knute Rockne of Penn State he was the Rock Hudson of Penn State.

It's past time to find out who knew what when?

You can't tell me that the AD & Finance Director remained 100% quiet about what a witness told them...and didn't breathe a word to any of the coaching staff.

Time to sweep Penn State clean.

Allow the entire football program's coaches to voluntarily resign...

JoePa can wait a few weeks...and then announce this is his last season.

Otherwise, the entire program can just go down in flames, never to arise to what it was.

What % fewer high school kids being recruited will want to be associated with Pedo State University?

Oh, btw, if this is the way PA covers up child sexual abuse, maybe parents sending their kids to PA for Little League World Series should think twice about that.

Little League has joined the homosexual activist higher ed campus campaign in saying they don't "discriminate" vs. "sexual orientation." (Whatever that means)

funny how the media ignore the fact that when a man touches a boy he is not only a child molester but also a homosexual.

Maybe our media just forget ion their reporting to add the homosexual bit ARF

Indeed.

Prosecutors need to expand their investigations. And the boosters and fans better be a catalyst and an impetus to make that happen -- or else Nit Lion fans will become more a part of the problem than a solution.

Colo, our Catholic Archbishop was sent from Denver to PA to clean up the church in Philadelphia, for too much "Brotherly Love".
