Maybe his son is a butt wrangler as well...

gee, such a clever well-thought out argument from a guy who shares a Stooge surname. However, Christy Mathewson used to be used as an arbitrator back in the day if both of the two umps working the field wasn't in position to make a call, even if it went against Christy's team. There used an element of gentlemen in gentlemen’s games. A true moron forgets, or can't understand, that.

“Why did Joe allow that?”

Very good question...and I do not believe JoPa is squeaky-clean. He will be gone as coach. Only question now is when. It is also likely that this will fog his career and severely tarnish his ‘image’.

lol- funny how quickly people jump to conclusions...ever hear of due process???

Yep. We saw how well due process worked for the victim in 1998. Sandusky got the royal retirement treatment. We saw how well due process worked for Victim #2 in 2002. McQueary got a job as an assistant coach ...

Apparently you have not read my previous posts.

no interest- you obviously have an agenda....

Spoken like a person that has no position.

[God luvs America]

i have a position- i’d rather wait and find out all the facts and what exactly was told to whom before i start rushing to knee jerk conclusions unlike yourself...

further, since you seem to know so much, tell us exactly what mcqueary told Paterno he saw, which was communicated to the Grand Jury.....then tell us exactly the history of PSU coaches/grad assistants through up the chain of command since you seem to be inferring mcqueary received his position based on his silence or something to that matter...

thanks in advance...

tell us exactly what mcqueary told Paterno he saw

We don't know. That one piece of the puzzle is conspicuously absent from the Grand Jury presentment and the Grand Jury findings.

We know Joe Paterno says he was told "fondling" and "maybe something of a sexual nature" that made McQueary uncomfortable. We are never told what McQueary says he told Paterno.

McQueary should never coach again. He's 6'4" or 6'6". He was Penn State's QB in 1996 and 1997, so he would have been about 27 or 28 in 2002. He was an athletic male in his physical prime.

He made eye contact with a pre-teen boy who was being anally raped. Here's a kid who saw another adult and must have thought he was going to be helped.

McQueary turned and walked away . . . and called his father. And McQueary knew Sandusky. Sandusky was the defensive coordinator when McQueary played at Penn State. Heck, Sandusky was JoePa's close friend - and the heir apparent, who was supposed to be the next Penn State head coach - when McQueary played.

Ah. The Mike McQueary who walked away from the pre-teen boy being anally raped? This recruiting letter, sent after McQueary joined the Penn State coaching staff (he's now in charge of recruiting) starts to look a little ironic:
