I agree that it isn't all that fair to talk about what McQuerry didn't immediately do. Who knows how anybody would handle that initially. But the fact is people did report this, it wasn't a matter of deflecting and refusing to believe. People knew what was going on and they willfully attempted to hide it to protect the brand of Penn State. They knew what happened here.

Kaplan: Royals interested in Z
jersey cubs fan replied to Hollandsworths mug's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You should put up with childish antics because these are a bunch of overgrown overpaid overly celebrated children playing a children's game. Who cares about childish antics? Aside from Jerry Sandusky. -

The part that I find most odd is where people are acting like he's the judge, jury and executioner in state college, knows everything that happens in the town, calls all the shots. Look he's enormously popular there, but he's always been a football coach. He never got involved in local politics, generally stayed out of administrative matters and let them handle it when players got in trouble. The idea that he would have known everything about the Sandusky investigations/cover-ups is probably not accurate. If it turns out that he knew about the 1998 investigation, did the bare minimum in 2002 and knew that the whole thing was being swept under the rug, I'll be quite disappointed, but I'm not willing to make all those assumptions. So if it turns out all that very likely stuff is true, you'll be disappointed?

Not really. I'm still not sure I believe in the integrity of ratings that measure "clutch performance" and discredit QBs for sacks taken, but it's strangely nice to see Cutler doing well in them. I'm absolutely certain I do not believe at all in that ridiculous stat.

I hope sandusky doesn't go to jail because that will ruin his children's lives.

Not really.

Well, the president of the university is complicit, so let's expel every student at Penn State. I MEAN THE GUY COVERED FOR KIDDIE RAPE SO SOMETHING SOMETHING REVENGE! This is absolutely moronic lunacy you are talking about here. Nobody is calling for the players to be kicked out of school. They are talking about firing the coach, because, you know, he allowed a child rapist to rape children.
-
or whatever it was

What punishment are the players even really getting in the situation that coaches get fired now? The only thing that comes to mind is losses and I don't see how that's a big deal. And losses is hardly some sort of guarantee. It's not like Paterno can coach. They stood a decent chance of struggling through their final 3 games anyway. If they cancelled the games the players would suffer, not so if they can the coach. The coach caused the suffering already.

For years every expert has lauded the strength of the NFC East and AFC East, I wonder when they will start to talk about the NFC North.
-
One of those lists attempted to lump the Bears with the Eagles and some other team I don't recall as teams with huge expectations going into the season that have disappointed. A) I don't remember many people outside of Chicago that expected much out of the Bears - some even listed them as the worst team in the league. B) They are 5-3, currently the 6th seed in NFC playoff picture, which was, the best any prognosticators had for them.

fwiw, I'm a Notre Dame fan and I believe Brian Kelly and the AD should have been fired for his negilicance in the death of Declan Sullivan. Ugh. This is nothing like the ND situation. That's a topic for a different thread. It really isn't at all. That was a sad tragic incident. Obviously it was an isolated event. I enjoyed poking fun at ND fans, which probably means I'm a bad person, but this PSU thing was a decades long cover-up of multiple freaking occurences of child rape and complete negligence by the man in charge, and that man is Joe Paterno. This one, unlike most NCAA run-ins, is a real serious disaster, and it lies at the feet of Paterno.
-
What is this "hurting the players" nonsense? They play for a kiddie rape enabler. Sandusky hurt the players. Paterno hurt the players. Canning Paterno now does not hurt the players. Forcing them to play more games under the cloud of a supposed head coach who enabled a child rapist to rape kids is more hurtful than taking him away from the situation.

Misc. Free Agent News

apparently amaro doesn't have authority to do this on his own and has yet to get approval from the chairman. -
I forgot about that part. I enjoyed the orange cleats, made it easy to spot him on the field.

it's not really 2 games. They've had a few sloppy efforts and a few too many pull it out in the end wins when things were looking better early on.

"Analytics-based" show coming to MLB Network
jersey cubs fan replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
then what is the point of the show? Their entire programming schedule is built around "traditional ways of thinking", why do they need to throw somebody in there to poo-poo? So old men don't throw their cane through their TVs Is that a euphemism for what the GA told Paterno? -
Oddly enough I figured out a couple weeks ago that Mike Franceca (mike and mad dog fame, complete Yankee homer, giants/parcells lapdog) is a Cutler fan and doesn't understand the nonstop criticism he receives. He also hung up on a caller who he thought was mocking him when he asked about Francesa's opinion about Al Alburquerque.

so that's why most people wanted him gone 10 years ago? because they're blind sycophants? I said there are a decent amount of people who aren't blind sychophants. Allowing him to bully his way into staying after this acts occured on his watch within his facilities would only happen because of the blind sychophants that allowed him to become god there.
-
I know plenty of PSU alums, a couple of whom spent time there after school. I have a pretty good understanding of how Paterno is treated there. He's untouchable. There is a decent amount of people who are not blind sycophants that actually do place responsibility on Paterno, but it doesn't really matter because of how he has been allowed to overpower his theoretical bosses. If he just bullies his way out of responsibility for these acts that occured on his watch, it will be a disgrace.
-
. Who the [expletive] does he think he is? (besides a pedophile enabler?) He is Penn State football, and to an extent, Penn State itself. He is the ultimate decider of everything that happens. But he's a naive old man who is too confused to understand what rape is because that sort of thing never happened when he grew up.

one son works for the browns. he took a leave of absence

If they foolishly allow Paterno and the staff to stick around yeah, it absolutely will be that way for a long time. If they finally made the right decision and moved forward with new people who are not incompetent rape enablers and apologists, it could probably go away sooner.
