I haven’t knocked Joe Paterno for this obvious “cover-up”. I have been knocking him for years but it has nothing to do with the Sandusky issue.
I remember Joe Paterno crying real crocodile tears...bawling like a baby...real tears flowing down his face...in the late 70s...on national TV, saying, “Ah wanna be numba one.”
My unpublished response to that was, “Hey, Joe! You have to play football games against real football teams! Having the local children’s orphanage and the nun’s convent on your schedule won’t EVER get you to numba one”!
THAT’s why I don’t and have never liked him. :-)
I suspect now former Penn State players are going to start coming out of the woodwork and telling us that JoePa wasn’t the man everybody thought he was....I suspect there was a “code of silence” among former players, that is now lifted.
