Really? Because I talk to a lot and the majority of them have a hard time reconciling the man's lifelong record with what Louis Freeh claims he did, but simply admit they don't know. Which, after all, is the point of the Paterno team's response.
Louis Freeh doesn't get his next paycheck by producing reports stating that the facts in evidence don't allow for conclusions any more than climate change scientists get government grants by saying they're not sure if it's real. So Freeh drew conclusions based on facts not in evidence and his own inferences, likely intended for use by the university to improve its internal governance. But the NCAA and the public took Freeh's report as gospel and have used it to substantially devalue Paterno's estate and Penn State at large.
Could Freeh's conclusions be true? Yes, it's possible. Can anyone know with enough certainty to make definitive statements or take punitive action? Absolutely not.
Shocked, the report says JoePa is as pure and innocent as anew born baby. As if there was ever any doubt as to the conclusion.
Enjoy your “proof”. Whatever it takes to get to sleep at night I suppose.
And if people thought penn staters were obnoxious before, after they thump their chests for weeks over this, it will reach whole new levels.
