ncaa and PSU attorneys suffer another beatdown at the hands of Wick Sollers and Paul Kelly. I hope the ncaa isn't stupid enough to think the Paternos want to settle, or want their money.
What they want (and we're heading toward it) is freeh, erickson, emmert, frazier, peetz, surma, and others UNDER OATH to explain their lies.
Well if nothing else was accomplished they did get the shower stalls soundproofed!
Lol.
Regardless of this case there has always been something about Freeh that has always screamed sleaze to me.

...you have a strange definition of beatdown...more like a stalemate, actually...come back in a month, and we’ll see if the Paternos have properly amended their suit to include the specificity demanded by the ruling judge...
...failing that, we’ll see what happens, won’t we...?
Lol ‘Tex! Rimshot!.......oh wait, that might not be an appropriate word to use here!
Nice to see the Freeh/PSU/NCAA railroad job is careening off the tracks at last.
I find this a particularly delicious irony: Because the statements at issue are conclusions, as opposed to opinions ... they are not protected, the decision said.
Ironic because Freeh's "conclusions" were never anything more than hysterical opinions without any substance backing them up. But because the opinions were presented as if they were factual, Freeh/PSU/NCAA will now be forced to defend their baseless opinions as if they were facts in a court of law.
Fantastic! The truth eventually will out. And it is not going to be pretty for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
I only regret that the bastards at ESPN who stoked the boiler cannot be brought down by the same derailment.

...ah yes, you don’t like what they said, so they’ve lied...just like the victims, right...nothing but a bunch of liars and cheats, according to some...
You’d be well advised to actually read the opinion. This is a devastating loss for PSU, Freeh, and the NCAA. In particular, the NCAA crafted its consent decree on the basis of dozens of pages in the Freeh “Report” which were never anything but a baseless diatribe. Because the defendants acted on those opinions, they will now be forced to defend them as facts. They are in very serious trouble, indeed.

The fact that I have been removed is irrelevant. This has never been about me. This is about due process and the rule of law. My hope is that the plaintiffs in this lawsuit prevail so that the likes of Mark Emmert and the NCAA never again can illegally impose their will on another institution.
Well, it looks like the Joes reputation will have its day in court. Pass the popcorn . . .

...care to delineate exactly what the ‘baseless diatribes’ were...?
Be careful, very careful in what you pray for .... you may get it!
Typical comment made by fools who don't have any idea what's going on in this case. Nobody said the victims were lying. NO ONE. As usual, the topic is what was done to Paterno, and as usual, you want to paint him with Sandusky's brush.
No dice.
Freeh was commissioned by the PSU BOT for the sole purpose of finding the most visibly public figure guilty of "something" so they could deflect liability and blame from themselves. Freeh did what he was paid to do, and all the jackasses in the world defending his lies won't change what's about to happen to him in court.
Let’s get them under oath. Let them explain their actions.
Yep. It’s a great day for the truth. Bad day to be a 10-11-11 board of trustee member.
The media’s day is coming. As I said in my post, this isn’t a case that Sue would settle for even 9 figures. It’s going to discovery and these people WILL be deposed.
Sadly because of the state’s dragging their feet on Curley/Schultz/Spanier (btw, just toss in the towel PA), there won’t be any discovery made public. Can only hope for leaks.
Nobody said the victims were lying. NO ONE.
...sure, sure, Fred, if you say so, must be true...
As usual, the topic is what was done to Paterno, and as usual, you want to paint him with Sandusky’s brush.
...did I say one word about Paterno...? Or Sandusky’s brush...?
...and you know Fred, I did read the opinion, and you know what I didn’t see in it...the term ‘baseless diatribe’...
You’d know that, if you actually knew anything about this case.
...well, gee, Fred, guess we can’t all be as smart and all knowing as you, can we...?
The obstruction cases are based on the illogical conclusion that because we've discovered what Sandusky did in hindsight, there must have been a cover-up. That's the kind of "thinking" that all conspiracy theories require. Unfortunately for the Commonwealth, none of the people charged with a crime can turn on the others, because except for Sandusky's transgressions, there was no crime.
Pretty much. If any of the 3 were guilty of anything, they’d have turned on the others.
Anyone that knows Curley knows these charges are an absolute joke. Guy’s probably never received a parking ticket.
Spanier’s defamation suit against freeh is still ongoing. Could be interesting to see how far that makes it. No one expected Corman’s suit to make a dent and it wound up eliminating some of the sanctions.
At some point Kane is going to have to drop the charges against C/S/S and that will hopefully allow some more transparency. Of course it will be blamed on a technicality (corrupt idiot cynthia baldwin).
