Not even close. A fired football coach doesn't fix what happened to those kids. If anything, it distracts from Sandusky. I agree with the firing, but justice? Give me a [expletive] break Way to go big guy Hey, as long as it makes YOU feel better, I guess we can tie a bow on this thing Then sweep it under the rug and roll that rug up and hide it in the closet

Justice

Who is asking what of whom in this exchange? I wondered the same thing.

And it happens in organizations because they are trying to protect the brand.

Yes, a young person at the bottom rung of an organization is going to be under pressure to protect his chances for further employment. It's not a ringing endorsement of his actions or anything. But it's more understandable than the men in charge conspiring to ignore the problem.
-
that sucks but thanks for letting me know -
I don't think that's really true. In 2012, Pujols was 27th in baseball in WAR among hitters. He was 17th in wOBA. How did the Cubs do?
-
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.

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.
