Narcissist that you are, I’m not surprised you think that

LOL...a few post backs I was insecure...now I'm a narcissist.
You really should look into some of the marvelous strides medical science has been making in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder. I truly hate to see my fellow man suffer so.

The point is that many people (I don’t know if this includes you, but I suspect it does) read the report and then assume that Paterno knew exactly what Sandusky had done and had been doing all along. The facts support that he had no idea until 2002, at which point he knew that his graduate assistant had seen something. Paterno has said repeatedly that what was told to him was not explicit or detailed, which explains why he would still not be certain what Sandusky was doing.

Most narcissists are quite insecure, hence their disorder.

That is not my guess. A full investigation will take place and put everyone on the bench. The Regents had heard enough to understand the culpability. I do not wish this on anyone but a decision was made based on information afforded to them.
It will never come back. This story has legs and now Texas is involved. Before you know it, the FBI will stream out.
The Regents know this.

Graham Spanier, the President of PSU. If you read the papers and books he has authored it will disgust you. This guy is an expert on Advanced Homosexual Studies.....he has been working to advance their agenda since the 1970s. and the plot does thicken....interesting and no doubt will become newsworthy in this whole case.

I make no such assumption. I think a reasonable case can be made that Paterno did, or at least should have had some idea of the circumstances surrounding Sandusky's '99 'retirement'. Having worked closely together for a number of decades, I can't see Sandusky just up and retiring without Joe at least asking him about it. I'm just not sure how Paterno, as his direct supervisor, would not have at least had some inkling of the '98 investigation. It's entirely possible that Paterno was clueless about everything prior to '02, I just don't think it's likely...even if it had been nothing other than rumor.
Certainly by '02, he had allegations by McQueary who was not just a "graduate assistant" but had been his quarterback as an undergrad, and who would really have no motivation to falsify allegations against Sandusky. Even if McQueary was intentionally vague, Paterno's account the GJ specifically included the term "something sexual" with a young boy. There's just no walking it back from there to "no idea."

Yes... just in time to cover Obama's crimes. Funny how this is all coming to fore right now.. not. Media have been on this trail for awhile and this is a lib University. Need some cover Obie... let's throw someone on the fire for you. Not to say there isn't something there, obviously is, but I question the timing. Let's in one fell swoop take the country's eyes off the GOP Primary, Fast & Furious, Solyndra and other numerous issues the Obie-bots do not want us to see....We really are a country of sheeple. Wouldn't it be nice if we could recognize that while the investigations of any abuse by university sports persons with minors is completely appropriate and our outrage should be great... IT DOES NOT NEGATE THE FACT OBAMA IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY, NOR THE FACT WE NEED TO BE ON HIS ASS ON EVERY SINGLE ILLEGAL ACT HE HAS PERPETRATED AS POTUS.
Wake up people!!!

"Most narcissists are quite insecure, hence their disorder." Sounds like you're intimately familiar with the pathology.

Tell PSU to stop raping children and maybe that distraction will go away.

Yes, I and my sisters were subjected to one as children. Does that satisfy you? I know the type quite well.

Then the entire board of the University should also be fired and lose any and all professor chairs/positions they hold.

I know I would be devastated to hear this from UT. The worst part of this story is the legacy of Joe Paterno. The last of the old school that has weathered the storms and created a very successful environment. It is a shame.

Paterno was the third party who never should have been involved Wasn't he Sandusky's boss for about 30 years? He either knew or should have known that something wasn't exactly right with this person who reported to him. Lots of other organizations would hold an executive responsible for not protecting the organization from this kind of fallout.
To: flintsilver7
How do I put this? Let's see.
I've wiped cleaner things than Paterno off the bottom of my shoe.
