Rick Slater - just wow. With all PSU has been through, we're still blessed. He needs to run for congress some day.

[Delta Dawn]

If their place kicker had not turned tail and run, they would have been 9-3.

[FlJoePa]

Fera had a sick mom in Texas (cancer). He’s the only one that gets a pass in my mind.

I attended the last game. It was something special. Silas Redd missed out. So glad Sam Ficken had such a good game.

[FlJoePa]

Lifted from Sam's FB page. This was Joe's last day of practice:

I think Sam is going to be a great kicker. It was a shame the way the announcers throughout the season literally laughed at him on the air. As Joe would say - "Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things"...

With all PSU has been through, we're still blessed.

With all PSU has been through?? That's an odd way of looking at it. From what I can see PSU (from the president to JoePa) covered up the sexual assault of young boys. The Happy Valley Cult continues.

Do you have any proof of what you just stated? Because if you do, I’d love to hear it. The AG’s office would probably like it as well, because they are about to drop their charges against Schultz, Curley, and Spanier.

Joe Paterno was never accused of a crime and was actually praised by the AG’s office for his cooperation.

If you have something, you should come forward. Seriously.

Thank you for a beautiful photo. Sam must treasure it to have it on his Fb page. Sam made a great tackle in the Wis game. It was good to hear him cheered for that. Glad his season ended with him kicking the winning points.

The Freeh report. Give it a read.

[FlJoePa]

I’ve read the freeh report at least a half dozen times. All 267 pages of it. There is no evidence of anyone from Penn State (especially Joe Paterno) “covering up” anything regarding js.

Did you find something in there that I missed? Or did you just listen to espn?

Check out the mini-movie (soon to become a documentary) on the Framing of Joe Paterno. I won’t even link it. Go google it on your own.

You can stand with louis freeh. I’ll stand with Joe Paterno. I know which one is honorable.

If you are truly interested in the amount of coverup of higher up Penn State oficials go here!!

[ontap]

Are you serious, One doesn’t have to get any further than Pg 14.

Stop, this is embarassing. You're going to have to re-read the report. Also keep your delusionsal sentence in mind as you read the story and watch the video at the link below. No one cares about some "mini-movie" made by some other cultist Penn State fan. Penn State, including JoePa, did serious wrong. Come to grips with it.

[FlJoePa]

That is freeh’s summary. He was hired by the b.o.t. to justify their decision in firing Joe Paterno and his putrid summary isn’t backed up with evidence. At all. As in zero.

If Joe Paterno wanted to cover up anything why did MM testify? Why did Joe testify? Why did Joe go to Curley and Schultz? Why did Joe send MM to Curley and Schultz?

Doesn’t sound like much of a cover up to me. A cover up would be something like “Hey Mike...we have too much riding on this. You keep your mouth shut.”

How did louis freeh’s FIFA investigation turn out?

[merry10]

But the new kicked improved immensely.

[FlJoePa]

Oh, well if espn says it’s so, I guess it’s so. They’ve been telling me all week what a saint ray lewis is, so they must know what they’re talking about.

[merry10]

Leave him alone. You’re just trying yo browbeat him.

I appreciate this story.....thanks for posting it. I still remember Mauti and zorich the day they spoke to the media. They and Jordan Hill are true leaders.

[Delta Dawn]

He did and good for him.

It's obvious that no amount of evidence will be enough for someone intent on burying his head in the sand. Four of Penn State University’s most powerful leaders, including president Graham Spanier and head football coach Joe Paterno ., covered up allegations of sexual abuse by an assistant coach because they were concerned about negative publicity, a team of investigators concluded in a report released Thursday following an eight-month probe. Confronted with horrifying reports that Jerry Sandusky lured boys to the State College campus where he sexually abused them, Penn State’s leadership deferred to a “culture of reverence for the football program” and repeatedly “concealed Sandusky’s activities” from authorities, according to the investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh. “Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky’s child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State,” Freeh said during a news conference Thursday. The probe, which includes previously unknown e-mails, deals a crushing blow to the legacy of Paterno, the late coach who took pride in running an honorable program and whose reputation has been on the line since Sandusky’s arrest last November. It eviscerates Spanier, concluding he failed in his duties as president, and chastises the board of trustees at one of the nation’s largest public universities for being out of the loop as the scandal unfolded.

Further, the mini movie was created by John Ziegler who did “Media Malpractice” on the 2008 election and Sarah Palin. You might have heard of him. He has zero ties to Penn State. He just doesn’t like lying media and the jackals who lap up their slobber.
