After watching the way the media has handled this event its my opinion that the media knows Paterno will retire at the end of the year (his contract is up) and are in a hurry to get him fired before he retires.

I sense that the media knows they are less able to impact public opinion on the political front (note the Herman Cain attempts at lynching) so they have decided to show their virility by going after an 84 year old Joe Paterno who was going to retire after the last game of the season.

" by going after an 84 year old Joe Paterno who was going to retire after the last game of the season."

You obviously did not hear Joepa's big 10 day press conference way back in August (I believe) where he said he thinks he could coach a few more years. Yes, his contract is up at the end of this year, but he had no intention to retire. I'm sure he will now.

Really?? Seriously??? You’re blaming the media for this?? I’m going to guess you don’t have (or have ever had) any young children.

The accusations against the pedophile are horrific. And Joe Pa knew, and basically did nothing. He should be gone. Yesterday.
