You may be correct..One thing for sure..the asst coach..McQuady (sp?) should be fired..at the very least, suspended for the rest of the season..how the hell can they allow him on the field, with the team...how does he look at the players..

When I first started reading about this, I thought he was a true student, I didn't realize he was 28 years old at the time.

A 28 year old ex-football player and he walks away from a child being raped. Where's the moral compass at? How do you resist the urge to beat the living sh!t out of Sandusky and take the kid to the cops?

There is no excuse for it, but there are factors. McQueary knew Sandusky. When McQueary was the starting QB for Penn State (and McQueary still holds a lot of Penn State records), McQueary was the defensive coordinator, and Penn State was Linebacker U. McQueary knew that Sandusky had been a coach at Penn State since before McQueary was born. He likely knew that Sandusky had played for Joe Paterno, and he certainly knew that Sandusky had been friends with Joe Paterno since before he was born.

McQueary knew that Sandusky had coached at Penn State for 30 years.

McQueary knew that Sandusky was so famous that he had been named the NCAA Assistant Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1999 (yep, the year after the investigation by the University Police into incidents of showering with little boys, and the year Sandusky retired).

We're removed from it now, because Sandusky retired in 1999 . . . but Sandusky was a legend. Not just at Penn State. Sandusky is considered one of the greatest defensive coaches in NCAA history.

So THAT is who McQueary walked in on. He didn't walk in on some 55 year-old man that he didn't know. McQueary probably knew about the 1998 and 2000 problems that Sandusky had - but if he did, he knew that Jerry was being protected with his emeritus status.

But college football is a religion of sorts for a lot of people, let's not kid ourselves. And for more than 25 years at Penn State, Jerry Sandusky was a demi-god, second only to Joe Paterno.

So Mike McQueary had no excuse . . . but he had a lot of reasons.

Sandusky is at that point pretty much the best defensive coach in the country, reporting to a living legend.

He has a lot of clout, either to call players and tell them *you* were attacking the child, or to pull away, intimidate the kid, and make it a your word vs. his on who was raping the kid.

That being said, if I were the 28 year old grad assistant, I'd have kicked Sandusky in the balls from behind with a scoop kick, and then stood over him till the cops got there.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

This smells of pedophilia ring, such as they had in Belgium a few years back which involved a number of high officials.

Would that we could peel it back and take out the homosexuals in high places infesting much of our society: it'd set the liberal agenda back at least 30 years by removing most of its champions in high places.
