Please identify the branch of the NCAA that conducts criminal prosecutions.
Another typical post and another epic fail..........
You've reached the point that you're not even worth responding to.............
Personal attacks bother you? Then what about comment #3?
Thanks FlJoePA for your continued support of a great man........
Got a little on your chin there, Tabby...
And that’s all he did. He could/should have gone public with this but he wouldn’t as he was scared to tarnish the reputation of penn state.
Did you ever bother to read them?
Endless, hysterical spam, all in defense of Coach Look-away...
I'm beginning to suspect that Hot Tabasco is FlJoe's other login.
And I wonder: is FlJoe's last name Paterno?
What are you? A Sandusky lover? You must be the way you’re defending this mess.
‘Coach look-away’. Damn if that does not nail it 100%!!! He KNEW and he was not gonna say a word. “I’ve never blown the whistle on anyone yet” , said Joe Paterno, “and I never will” said St. Joe in a long ago Sports Illustrated article that discussed the ongoing, at the time, various NCAA violations. His mind was made up YEARS ago to.......NEVER TALK!!
“Thanks. Hot Tobasco. Someone gets it. I was beginning to believe I was all alone in my sanity.”
No there are others out there that share your thinking. It’s like you said it turns into a Daily Kos or local Topix discussion, where you present the documentation and the other side decides not to read it, but they have their opinion. Don’t know how you do it, it is like pissing into the wind. Keep up the good fight FlJoePa!
What documentation? What is presented here is a 2+ year old eulogy so that Paterno supporters can stroke themselves.
Check his other threads, he has tons of it.
Sure he does.
Not at all...Sandusky is where he needs to be...But to link Paterno to Sandusky as if he were an accomplice requires one to overlook all of the evidence in this case. Sandusky was no longer affiliated with Paterno or the football program at the time of the 2001 incident. Sandusky’s access to the Penn State campus was not through Paterno or the football program. Paterno and Sandusky were not meeting on Saturday mornings at the coffee shop talking about the previous week’s game. Paterno did follow the law as he was required to do. To now say that Paterno was responsible for Sandusky sodomozing little boys would be like saying that you and I were also responsible. FlJoePa I believe is correct that a lot of this anti-Paterno sentiment is due to the fact that Paterno was a famous white guy, and this country has been tearing down famous white guys for the last decade or so...
Let me make clear that I have never been much of a college sports fan. As to football and baseball, I prefer the pros and if there were never another basketball game played at any level, my life would not be impoverished as a result.
FlJoePA has been carrying the ball here for Joe Paterno for a long time. I followed Joe Paterno closely enough despite a lack of enthusiasm for college football to believe him to be a morally upright gentleman of the old school, a NYC Jesuit Prep School alumnus who graduated during WWII. If there was one person at Penn State genuinely standing for morality, especially in sexual matters, it was Joe Paterno.
Joe Paterno's critics seem to want to take him from his grave and posthumously tar him, feather him and ride him out of Centre County and Belleville on a rail.
Now some claim that the janitor witnessed explicit oral sex performed by Sandusky and reported that to Paterno. Others claim that Sandusky's misbehavior was generally known on campus. Still others rely on the questionable veracity of Michael McQueary, a low ranking assistant coach who told a different story each time he was questioned as to whether he actually saw the anal rape of an eleven year old boy or simply heard "slapping noises" from the shower room or various alternative reports in between.
IIRC, the janitor would not testify because he was not sure of what he witnessed. Is he now enjoying "recovered memory?" Did the janitor report to law enforcement at the time???
If Sandusky's behavior was generally known on campus, why wasn't he in prison years before? The campus has its own rent-a-cop force of sworn police officers with arrest powers who predictably did nothing lest Penn State's reputation be besmirched.
Someone must have reported to law enforcement because the Centre County prosecutor had the now missing but somewhat reconstructed Sandusky file on his computer (which was destroyed) when he and the computer disappeared one night a good distance from his office. His car was found in the l parking lot of an antiques store near the location where the computer was found in the river bed in pieces, its contents not retrievable because of the apparent willful destruction of the hard drive.
Neither the prosecutor nor his corpse was never found and the reaction of local law enforcement was: Oh, isn't that strange? Then they moved on to parking tickets and traffic violations. Law enforcement displaying no interest in the disappearance of the elected Centre County prosecutor is not normal. In decades of practicing criminal law, I never heard of such a ridiculous failure of police will.
The NCAA is a typical politically correct bureaucratic monstrosity. I believe that the NCAA president at the time of the "settlement" was the infamous Myron Brand, former president of the University of Indiana who had fired one of the nation's best college basketball coaches, Bobby Knight, for not being a Caspar Milquetoast. Faculty leftists were just embarrassed by Knight whom they regarded as a Neanderthal.
So are there alternative theories as to what happened at Penn State? One notorioso who got off the hook was the vermin Graham Spanier who was president of the university for a substantial number of years. Spanier, who wrote his doctoral thesis in sociology on spouse swapping and promiscuity, who vowed to make Penn State "the most gay friendly campus in America," who appointed most of Penn State's trustees to vacancies during his tenure, stonewalled the entire subject of Sandusky for years and years. To protect Spanier, Obozo took him into a position in the Obozo regime to get him out of Penn State. Hey, let JoePA who was probably, at least in his old age, a Republican be the ritual sacrifice. No one ever heard of Spanier or any others in his chain of command. Yeah, JoePA's the one! He's had a long enough run, anyhow. Gotta protect the "gay friendly" college leaders, right?
Governor Corbett was then Pennsylvania Attorney General. What did HE do about Sandusky and the missing prosecutor of Centre County. When Corbett loses this November, I will be pleased.
How about the Board of Trustees of Penn State? They have general responsibility for governing Penn State. What did they EVER do to kick the long-retired Sandusky off campus? What did they do to respond to the JoePA reports to the Athletic Director and the University Vice President who was in charge of the Penn State Rent-a-Cops (who had arrest powers)?
Sandusky had the nerve to set up the Second Mile Foundation to provide companionship and supervision to young fatherless boys. This did not set off the alarms and flashing red lights? REALLY??? How many Penn State trustees, including but not limited to Graham Spanier were regular attendees at Second Mile Foundation, ummm, functions???
The closest I have come to Penn State football is that I once and once only drove past its football stadium in the summer when arriving for a vacation visit with a couple of Yalies at their hobby farm in a nearby community.
If the questions in this post are not answered on the public record, I will continue to be a skeptic as to the stampede orchestrated by the generally malignantly leftist press and media.
FlJoePA apparently shares that skepticism and I applaud him for it. Likewise anyone else sharing that skepticism.
If you'd actually been paying attention to this case instead of just trying to whitewash Saint JoePa, you would know that a judge has ordered the three of them to stand trial on charges of covering-up the evil deeds of Jerry Sandusky, which have been proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, in a court-of-law, to have occurred.
How could they be charged if they knew nothing about the incidents? There must be a reasonable expectation that they knew.
How would they have known? Saint JoePa must have told them. And then "washed his hands" of the whole affair, so he could get back to important things like football.
And, there's no evidence he ever gave it a second thought.
Prattle-on all you want about the NCAA, but a disinterested observer would look at the situation and say "It sure looks like Saint JoePa was more interested in football than in stopping the buggering of young boys".
Woof!
