“With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more”
Sad statement to say after getting caught covering up for a pedophile. He should have come clean and blasted everyone involved.
If the Paterno shills on this board aren't ashamed of the following truth, nothing will shame them:
1. The BEST that can be said for Paterno in this matter is he didn't step forward and look in to the reports of wrongdoing by Sandusky aggressively. Anyone with a modicum of decency should and would have. Being a busy successful coach doesn't cut it as an excuse.
2. The Worst that can be said is that he helped cover the horrid truth aggressively to solidify his own place (and the program he built) in football history.
3. No one really knows the truth between these two parameters except Joe and God, we can only discuss how horribly the disgusting behavior of Sandusky has affected all of the boys since Joe was told of an incident in the shower.
The Joe sycophants can't even own up to the BEST you can say for him, which is likely covered in Joe's haunting lament toward the end. My question: Since no one knows, why run interference for the man whose best left him at the worst possible time in his life?
