Ok if is was not a “Sin of Commision” it was a “Sin of Ommission! Joe was JUST a guilty by not knowing WHAT his TOADIES were doing!
“You remember Mom, when I was sitting on his lap last time he was here talking to you. He had his hand up my shorts tickling my privates. He tickles me and I have to try not to laugh.”
So the mother was there and didn’t notice some pervs hands her privates? We are expected to believe that. Please. Yes, she should be fird.
Had Paterno reported what had been related to him to the police, his complicity never would have been an issue.
But he didn’t. It is. And it always will be.
God Bless Joe Paterno and Penn State! Glory be that the truth is coming out. Hopefully Penn State will return the statue of Joe soon. Glad they only put it in storage. The Penn State tragedy is on the football team and the Paterno’s. Sad for all of them.
And frogs will fly our of our a$$es.
I did so wish to see JoPa in orange prison jammies along with his pillow-biting buddy. There’s no way in hell that JoPa did NOT know what this fudge pusher was doing in his locker rooms.
No.
What kind of monster would do that? Paterno.
ANY parent/grand parent should watch this video regardless of what they think of Joe or Penn State. You will be shocked and informed. You owe it to your kids to watch it.
They should also read his section of the King & Spalding Report.
Clemente is a very sharp guy.
If he didn’t know, what was it he supposedly reported to the campus cops and why was Sandusky barred from the locker room?
Desperate times for the Fan Club.
RESTORE THE LEGACY OF ONE OF THE TRULY GREAT MEN IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.
Oh please! “History of Football?” In the scheme of things, to suggest that anything “great” about football would trump what Paterno did to “preserve his legacy,” is a disgrace! The idea that we should expunge Paterno’s “record of deception” where Sandusky was concerned makes me want to puke! From my perspective there are no “great men” in sports. But I understand where you are coming from. I had a business associate who told me back when OJ Simpson was on trial for killing his wife that “he could not have done it because he was a sports figure.” That is your mentality too and it doesn’t show much intellect!
Let’s see...Paterno was aware that Sandusky had been investigated by the authorities (on child molestation allegations) in 1997. Four years later, a graduate assistant on his staff (later promoted to assistant coach—and still on the staff when the scandal finally broke) tells Paterno what he witnessed Sandusky doing with that little boy in the shower of the Penn State doorbell complex. JoePa’s reaction? Call the AD—the guy he put into that post—and let the cover-up continue. In the interim, more kids were victimized by Sandusky.
Paterno could have stopped the whole thing in 2001 by simply having the courage to call the local prosecutor or the state police. Instead, he was more concerned about protecting the PSU football brand and his own reputation. The “report” commissioned by his family is little more than an exercise in denial.
Right!
Totally pass the smell test, totally.
Every deviant has an apologist somewhere.
Please go away already.
and the German people didn’t know the Nazis were really killing Jews.
and Sean Payton didn’t know that his DC was paying a bounty for big hits.
and Liz Taylor and others close to him didn’t think MJ was molesting kids.
and Nixon didn’t know about Watergate
and the SS didn’t know Slick Willy was getting Monica’ed
There are many here who scream for culpability in our government but willing to turn a blind eye when it affects a iconic old man’s legacy.
I don’t really know the facts in the case, but what happened to Joe Paterno broke my heart. My wife’s family is from western Pennsylvania, and she grew up in Attleboro near Providence and Brown where Paterno played quarterback and cornerback. She was a Brown fan and Huge Paterno fan. She turned on him, like a lot of other people. I always admired Paterno, he seemed to play the game the right way. I hate to believe the worst about him.
Sandusky should rot in Hell. Tomorrow, if not today.
