He is 84. Does anybody’s mind work right at that age? In all seriousness, the supposed lack of reporting and following up on the part of Paterno will be debunked in the coming days or weeks. There was a reason his press conference was cancelled by the president. Don’t take my word for it. Just wait and see.

Are you saying that Paterno didn't know that Sandusky raped boys? I think I will have to go mix a rum and coke a little early today ...

With respect to Paterno: He reported the information to the AD (his boss) and the person in charge of SC police.

Geez. Not this BS again. Curley (the AD) was charged for NOT reporting it to the police/Child Services ...

Make one for me.

What I am saying is the facts reported in the grand jury indictment as they relate to PSU admin, including Paterno, are not all the facts.

SC police reported to Shultz.

Curly and Shultz were charged etc.

Just wait — forget Paterno for a second — there are other prominent people, including politicos, that will get drawn into this. Ugly all the way around.

Of course. I said that days ago. It is only enough to get charges against Curley and Schultz. Then the real fun begins. Paterno has agreed to testify against Curley and Schultz. He is listed as a cooperating witness.

Now you accuse Corbett in being in on a coverup? Back it up with some reasonable explaination Please.

“The facts are pretty much incriminating to them all...”

Oh, I get it now. “Pretty much incriminating” has now replaced “beyond reasonable doubt” as the standard.

That should take care of the criminal case backlog that’s been plaguing us.

Shame on you.

Schultz was NOT the head of the police as you stated nor was he a member of the police department.

Since you missed that part of my post, I will repeat my question.

Are you saying that Paterno didn’t know that Sandusky raped boys?

Okay, it is absolutely incriminating, not pretty much incriminating. Or are you now suggesting that the head coach gets a pass for winking and nodding at a known pedophile, even for years after he is exposed, yet the coach allowed this perv to work with kids, suing the football facilities and program to find his victims? Are you proud to be displaying your lack of moral values? Paterno realizes he is also to blame for this continuing past 1998 or even 2002. What may be lost in all this is the crushing realization a good man like JoePa is suffering having come to the realization that he is culpable, that he could have done much to prevent this after 1998.

No, I am saying he reported him and followed up. He did not buy a batman costume and go vigilante as some in the media seem to think he should have done. He was aware that the police were investigating Sandusky. What I am saying is, while Paterno is no saint...look beyond him...From what I am being told, Paterno reported Sandusky to PSU admin, was told of an ongoing investigation etc.

I am confident PSU admin covered it up. I am also confident that local PSU police did not do their jobs. And I am confident that state officials, especially one who sat on the board of trustees, are going to get a lot of splatter.

Since the police were never contacted and no investigation was performed, how the heck was he aware of an investigation?

Sorry, it’s Pennsylvania! Democrat politicos will nto be prosecuted over this beyond just local politics. I can see how even the Governors during this time could be culpable, but you will never see that investiagte in any way because democrats, the criminal enterprise party, control Pennsylvania in the position where it counts to cover the democrats’ criminality.

That’s some of the facts that will come out. It’s going to be one hell of a mess.

Many more heads to roll.

You made a statement of fact. Are you saying that it will come out that there was a police investigation? That would be contrary to the grand jury report. I guess heads would roll?
