Colo, my comments were sarcastic; following is a re-post with /sarc. I thought it was sarcastic enough so that there would be no misunderstanding. The point of my sarcasm is simply this: if a manager gets a report from a subordinate about any kind of foul play and is not 100% sure of the report's veracity or does not understand the report 100%, they still must then obviously pursue the case thoroughly. Only when the manager is 100% sure that the report has no merit would they rightly consider themselves to have completed their own personal handling of it. Simply put, someone in an executive position has continued responsibility to see every case through to complete resolution where the case continues to have an effect on areas within their responsiblity. For Paterno, this area includes all football facilities and his staff as much as is within his professional capacity.

How do we know what the witness told Paterno? According to the grand jury, On Sunday, Paterno told Penn State athletic director Tim Curley that McQueary had seen Sandusky "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy."

The author's article is very vague about what the witness told Paterno.

Right, that's when I'd rub my eyes, say "what ? I don't understand. Some kind of sex ?"

Then I'd be tired and just say whatever and let's go out for a beer on the way home, this has been a long day. Oh, and by the way, don't ever bother me with that thing you were talking about, we're not communicating, let's just forget it and get back to football. I wonder what the wife made for dinner tonight. Hey can you get the lights ?
