The Penn State/Paterno fan club is determined to believe their hero could never have done the wrong thing. To consider he might have turned a blind eye to a horrible predator in his program in order to save the program's reputation is impossible to them since he was such a winning coach.

That Sandusky WAS the coach responsible for giving PSU the nick name "linebacker U" eludes them. That Paterno avoided judgment on this man and what he was doing several times during his tenure eludes them.

That the best you can say in this matter is Paterno failed to act as he should have WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING eludes them. To realize that he could have done more is THE BEST FACE YOU CAN PUT ON HOW HE REACTED eludes them.

That Occam's razor would point most anyone to the conclusion that the man likely ignored the facts, never followed up on horrendous accusations, and protected his program rather than blow the whistle on his right hand man while young men were being savaged is beyond them.

Talk about sick......

You are aware that js was a retired coach in 2001, right?

Sandusky was not employed by the university when this incident occurred. He had been retired for 3 years. But please don't let that stop your prefabrications.

Paterno avoided judgment on this man and what he was doing several times during his tenure eludes them.

That's not true either as Paterno told Sandusky in 1997 that he would never be head coach and that's when he decided to retire.

That the best you can say in this matter is Paterno failed to act as he should have WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING eludes them.

So now you are accusing Paterno of sitting in his office while Sandusky was in the shower molesting young boys

To realize that he could have done more is THE BEST FACE YOU CAN PUT ON HOW HE REACTED eludes them.

You can't even get that quote right.

That Occam's razor would point most anyone to the conclusion that the man likely ignored the facts

That's what can be concluded about you and this post of yours is evidence of that ...

Talk about sick.
