"Poor choice of words, there."

There are some clips of Sandusky talking about the charity being a great "opportunity" to throw the boys "a rope" for them to hang onto. He uses the word "opportunity" a lot when describing that charity.

Anyone remember the 1996 movie Sleepers? It was based on a book that the author claimed to be true, but the New York youth correctional authorities and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office denied the events took place. The author always maintained that they did.

The local news readers continue to refer to the crime as “child abuse”, instead of the criminal homosexual pedophilia that it is.

That is infuriating, but it's not going to work in this case. Everyone knows the score on this one. The media can do their psy-ops group-think propaganda till the cows come home.

The Discover I.D. Channel has a program called “Disappeared” that runs on Monday nights and the repeats run at other times throughout the week. It is also available on youtube under the subject of “Disappeared Ray Gricar.” It’s a pretty good show-I recommend that you watch it. It focuses on the Gricar case and presents the facts of the investigation in a timeline and also has interviews with investigators and family members. They present several possible scenarios (I won’t mention them so I won’t spoil it if you watch it). It runs about 50 min. long.

After watching this show a couple months ago it bothered me for days after. I couldn’t stop thinking about why this man just disappeared. I don’t think the Penn State scandal had anything to do with it (just my opinion,I kinda agree with one of the scenarios from the show, but I could change it if other info comes to light)-—it’s just a very mysterious and baffling case.

The irony, huh?
I have seen grown men stoically endure the deaths of family members with a dry eye. However, mention the death of Bear Bryant and they begin sobbing like little girls.

No surprise. Ex football players get top employment priority in many fields, at least where I come from. No matter if they are as dumb as a box of hammers.

$91 mil a year is a lot of money (see post #30 above). Important people have been done in for a tenth of that.

[Does anyone think that if the Mark Madden rumor is true, that there will be the mother of all cover-ups? I am expecting exactly that.

I have lost faith in the “system”, completely and totally.

You and me both.]

Make that 3.

SHOCKING PENN STATE RUMOR: Jerry Sandusky 'Pimped Out Young Boys To Rich Donors'

Rumor has it that the creep gave access to boys for other freaks. Could be an entire ring of depravity.

Over in Europe they busted an online pedophile ring with 70,000 members. Earlier, there were rings busted that involved government officials.

Consider this scenario: could it be that Sandusky was just a front man, procuring and "breaking in" vulnerable boys for wealthy/powerful pedophiles, and providing venues where such wealthy/powerful pedophiles could have sex with young boys while being shielded from having their identities revealed.

How much would the lives of Sandusky and the rest of the "visible" people involved be worth if a hundred or so "movers and shakers" were threatened with exposure?

Call me cynical, but I don’t see the NCAA jumping on this. If sandusky had given them a gift for the rape, AND they were potential football recruits, The NCAA would have been all over it with a vengeance. But since recruiting violations weren’t involved, the big boys couldn’t care less.

Hey, it was just kids, not football players, right? And they were probably thrown away after being raped, instead of enrolled at PS, so no big deal.

Am I wrong?

I regularly listen to Penn State games on the radio and remember George as the sidekick for many years. The last time I heard George he was a caller to the Joe Paterno show and he was drunk off his rear end. It was sad and pathetic, and Joe was obviously embarrassed. It wasn’t long after that call that George passed away.

The scenario you laid out is exactly what I think was going on. Sandusky was very careful in choosing the right boys and then took his time “grooming” them. It is all so sick.

I noticed that the Penn State Facebook page had one entry dealing with the victims of Sandusky and that was it.The rest of it was football,football and more football.Very sad.The single entry on the page was to announce the candlelight vigil for the victims,and there were some pretty angry comments left on the page,as you would imagine.I think the page should be taken down and replaced with something more appropriate. If Penn State thinks they’re just going to gloss over this and move on,they’re mistaken.There ain’t that much gloss in the world!!

Oh wow... I’m telling you, there is a circle of Sexual perversion at Penn State University. And that entire circle, it’s members, and those protecting it will come crashing down. It’s going to the the biggest news story since. 9-11.

Didn't find the specific article I was looking for in the local fishwrap, but I did find these:

Money woes could mean fewer college teams (April 2010).

Is college football doomed? (June 2011).

NCAA tourney awash in cash. (April 2010).

Paterno, PSU differ from many universities. (August 2011, VERY interesting in view of recent events>.

Paterno admits he broke rule. (June 2011).

Pigskin piggy bank. (January 2010).

This story brings up a serious point. If JoePa had his way, Sandusky would still be raping children on Penn State campus.

How anyone celebrates the man at this point is beyond me.
