We agree on something! Joe Paterno and Graham Spanier should have been put on leave - immediately. Until a full and fair investigation was done (which still hasn’t happened)
I was at the Nebraska game - the only game I got to last year (great planning, huh?), and I would have been ok if Joe didn’t coach ever again. He was going to retire at the end of the season anyway.
But he shouldn’t have been fired. Especially not over the phone by a bunch of idiots (including the governor) who had WAY more interaction with js than Joe Paterno did.
... who had WAY more interaction with js than Joe Paterno did.
How can you say that with a straight face? Sandusky was his ASSISTANT COACH.
You’re blinded by your partisan position.
Paterno was scum. He had first hand knowledge that little boys were being sodomized in his locker room — not once but repeatedly — and he covered it up for the sake of FOOTBALL. By rights, he should have spent the last several painful years of his life in jail. At least he died with his precious football legacy utterly destroyed. As it should be.
Here’s a clue, son: football does NOT trump righteousness.
