FlJoePa - just wanted you to know that you do have some friends here. Some of us still believe that Joe was a great man. It’s so easy for anonymous posters to spew their hate for Joe and PSU, without regard for facts. They are cowards, and Joe was a million times a greater man than them. McQueery is not a legitimate witness - his story changes every time. And everything we know about Paterno’s life is not consistent with what we’re being led to believe by Bob Costas and ESPN. Do they really think that after 60 years of being the most respected coach in football, (success with honor), that all of a sudden he decides to cover-up a for a child-molester? No. That is not Joe Paterno.
So keep on keepin on, my FRiend - even when it seems everyone is against you. And when the truth comes out - that Joe didn’t know - that Joe really was the guy we thought he was for 60 years - don’t expect any apologies from the haters - they will disappear back into anonymity.
Thanks privatedrive. Anyone with any sense would see it the same way, but the media eventually drives all where we want to go. Apparently a lot of people just don’t like PSU and Joe.
Hey, it took me days to give up that Paterno should have done more, that rumors had circulated for too long with good reason, that all these guys (including Paterno) were pointing up, down and over to somebody else, away from their own responsibility, anything to keep the responsibility moving. Except McQuery. He had the most to lose and the least of power to prevent losing it.
The rest would have walked away rich, if they had been dismissed.
Paterno will always have his record in tact. His family has security. But the one who stopped a predator and the charade that permitted his run of the showers has guys like you.
What a gift.
