ESPN crucified Joe Paterno on the basis of a GJ report and hearsay...a bunch of sanctimonious fools.

Chickens coming home to roost, it seems....

I’d like to hear a logical explanation from the guy as to why he gave the tape to ESPN instead of to the police.

From what I heard (and I stress "heard"), he reported it to police, but the police told him that the statute of limitations had expired. So he taped the conversation and gave it to the press.

Congressional hearings on grown men taking steroids and not a peep about children being molested in College Sports environs.

The world of big sports, big bucks, media and sycophants is deplorable.

Actually if you put two and two together, the kid talked to police before making the tape - most likely because he wanted to expose the crime and get the guy fired at least. If the police wouldn’t listen, then maybe he could at least get justice by exposing the crime through ESPN.

From the posted article:

“”Davis made the tape after a brief talk with police in 2002. His allegations, which he brought to ESPN and the Syracuse Post-Standard at the time, created a journalistic conundrum for both: They didn’t know whether to report accusations that could be incredibly damaging to Fine, or to risk not exposing a child molester. Both news outlets opted not to report on the allegations, they said, because they couldn’t find anyone to support Davis’ account. Neither Davis nor ESPN passed on the tape to Syracuse University officials for an internal investigation of Fine in 2005. Syracuse chancellor Nancy Cantor noted in a statement Sunday that university officials did not have the tape at the time.

“’That is true. They did not have that tape in 2005,’ ESPN’s Mark Schwarz reported Sunday night. ‘Bobby Davis did not know what to do with that tape. All he knew is that the Syracuse police had a cursory five-minute phone conversation with him in 2002. He then made the tape. He presented it to us. We didn’t have a corroborating second alleged victim,’” and apparently no curiosity, either! Apparently no curiosity to find out anything further. But then the whole thing blew up when the coach’s “wife told his accuser she was well aware that her husband had molested him.” So the wife knew that this was all going on all this time!”

Agreed. ESPN has advanced the destruction of sport. This takes it to a new level.

I wonder if the same people that have been calling for ending the football program at Penn State will now call for The Walt Disney Company to close down ESPN.

ESPN has some explaining to do. But once it knew, ESPN didn't give Fine ESPN's facilities as 'candy' to lure additional boys, nor let Fine orally and anally molest them on ESPN's premises, as far as we know. That can't be said of Penn State.

I just want to know when all the FReepers that were calling for Joe Pa’s head are going to demand the same from ESPN’s management.

I demand the same.

The ESPN Syracuse alumni chapter is very large.

ESPN covered up this abuse until they had no other option.

Can’t blame Cowherd since he is not a Syrexcuse grad.

“Mike & Mike is about all I watch on ESPN any more, ... “

Mike & Mike makes a conscious effort to do 50s and 60s style broadcasts. That is, they don’t skewer people, and they don’t play gotcha with guests. They try to be positive, focus on the sport itself as much as possible. They avoid bad language, and will very occasionally get a little naughty, but nothing I wouldn’t let a child watch.

I congratulate them, and watch every morning while I get ready.

Folks, there's this giant elephant in the room.

And it's pink. Or is that lavender? The Gaystapo is ruthless, vindictive and completely in control of the press.

I’m wondering that myself. If I had the guy’s wife on tape saying that she knew about what had happened, I’d take a copy to the police and put the ball in their court (pun intended). Is it legal for one party to secretly record a conversation in New York? I know there are some states where that recording wouldn’t be admissible because they require both parties to consent recording a phone call.

As soon as I find out that ESPN's management gave Fine access to ESPN's facilities for thirteen years to lure boys for molestation, and let him orally molest and anally rape boys at ESPN, then we can talk about it.

Otherwise, we're comparing apples and lugnuts.

The article seems to say that he did go to police, and they would not do anything about it, so then he made the tape.

Look at the curriculum NYC is pushing onto 11 year olds. disgusting. 11 years old is when Chastity Bono’s molestation started. That seems to be about the age that leftists are okay with it. sick freaks.

Good that Rush is talking about it. I hope he goes a lot deeper than just these two sport related homosexual molesting topics. It's endemic. It's what homosexuals do. It's their "identity". What's esepcially evil is how no one - cops, ESPN, and anyone else who knew or suspected - did anything whatsoever about it. Why do people cover up sex crimes against children by homosexuals???? Why is everyone so terrified of mentally ill sex perverts?

ESPN is full to the brim with queers, especially back office.

No doubt they covered for their fellow perverts.

When you have evidence Paterno saw anything, get back to me. In the meantime ESPN sat on a tape with the guy's wife admitting she knew.

Paterno did as he was supposed to, Boenheim and Syracuse ignored the kid. Boenheim still has his job and ESPN is still on the air. Fine had access to Syracuse facilities until yesterday, Sandusky's keys were taken away. Double standard much?

count me in!

This vulgar disgusting woman goes into great detail describing their depravity.

ESPN protected a child molester and his beastly wife.
