Hey Truf, I hope Australia is nice.

 

it's lovely. quite a bit better than milwaukee. you should consider a lifestyle change.

 

Thanks to him, several other boys were raped.

 

whoa really? because the grand jury indictment includes only one sexual assault after 2002. if you are withholding information i suggest turning that over to the police immediately.

 

He reported it to this board, fulfilling his legal obligation.

Paterno presser canceled

[SouthSideRyan]

Penn State just cancelled Paterno's press conference for today.

[SpongeWorthy]

Paterno has coached his last game I think

[Old Style]

He's flying in Truffle to answer questions on his behalf.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm not sure he lives to 86.

[Theo]

Wow, shocking they cancelled the press conference. A bunch of freakin cowards that entire university.

[SouthSideRyan]

Wonder how bad it would have to get before the Big Ten renames it's championship trophy.

[Magnetic Curses]

millen is on sc crying

 

ya think sandusky touched him?

[Magnetic Curses]

so let me get this straight......JoePa hears about Sandusky horsing around with some naked orphan in the shower (how the naked orphan got there is anyone's guess), JoePa knows that Sandusky is weirdly obsessed with his children's charity to the point that Joe had to disinherit him, and still NO ONE FROM THE [expletive] ADMINISTRATION GOES TO THE POLICE?

 

Joe is ultimately culpable here and should most definitely step down. he knew what was going on, he knew that Sandusky was treating children like Andy Reid's kids treat cocaine. but he said nothing to authorities. this happened under his watch, and he needs to pay the price for it.

 

EDIT: and with that, the reports are JoePa is gone.

The reports say this went on until 2009. Only one instance occurred between 2002 and 2009? That seems...unlikely.

Penn State Said to Be Planning Paterno’s Exit Amid Scandal

[BleacherBadger]

And there it is. Terrible ending to a lifetime of success.

[Tracer Bullet]

Whoa. I mean, there's that 10-year period where he didn't stop his friend from raping young boys. So maybe not his entire life was a success.

 

Finally being forced to step down after not actually being a coach for years bc of your failure to stop abuse isn't really a terrible ending. It just sounds like you're feeling a little sorry for Joe.

I think this just shows you how much of a mistake it is to have a senile old man be the face of the entire sports department while not actually doing any coaching. This is the type of situation where you talk about accountability (as opposed to with baseball players who don't run out every ground ball) and there was none in that organization. What a freaking pathetic way to end his reign. It's a shame. Sandusky is the scum of the earth but Peterno and everybody else who had any knowledge of this situation completely let down the Penn State community and of course, especially every kid that got assaulted after they were aware it could be going on.

i think he let down every kid that was ever assaulted by sandusky, not just those that were assaulted afterwards.

Part of me feels sorry for him. He can only blame Sandusky and himself here, but I do pity the man for being in the situation he's put himself in.

[wolf stansson]

Members of the board of directors at the Second Mile Charity and Camp (founded by Jerry Sandusky, used by Sandusky to funnel victims to his clutches) include: Joe Paterno, Matt Millen, Andy Reid, Mark Wahlburg, Cal Ripken Jr, Dick Vermeil, Franco Harris, Arnold Palmer and Lou Holtz.

[Theo]

I really hope they can find a way to pin some type of criminal charge on Paterno as well.

I guess I don't have a lot of pity for him, at least not in the sense that I feel sorry for him. His inaction resulted directly in child abuse. He could have prevented it easily, there was no intervening factor that shields him from blame. If these kids were local, they probably held JoePa in this almost god-like esteem. And the man completely let them down. Clearly Sandusky is ultimately responsible, but Paterno isn't worthy of sympathy.

That would be excessive. And very unlikely.

Unlikely, yeah. Excessive. Nope. His actions could have stopped this all. I would love to see the old man [expletive] himself in a prison cell.

Hm. Should have written that clearer. Didn't mean to sound like pity.

 

FTR: I hope anyone involved rots in hell.
