I’ve never had any use for Paterno. He had an interview years ago where he said that his football program built character in the players.

I’ve always wondered what he’d think of one of his players trapping a catch on the field and, knowing that it was incomplete, accepting a referee’s decision that it was complete.

That, in and of itself, is morally wrong. But not to JoPa . . . Now, we all know that that player’s team mates would kick his butt for his honesty, but, to knowingly accept an incomplete pass as complete to me is horse-hockey . . . especially if you’re being taught “character” as JoPa put it.

So, nothing would surprise me with this empty suit if he gets in trouble for being involved with the coverup of this pervert. Sorry, but at his shrine, I do not worship!

Like I said in another thread: If someone comes to me and says they saw something “inappropriate” in the shower’s (with a kid) with my assistant coach, don’t ya’ think I would pry for more detail as to what took place?

JoePa is lying through his teeth.

His statement was probably written by his lawyer.

Pedophiles are sneaky.. else they wouldn’t last long..
Groups of pedophiles are sneaky and “connected”...

I say “waterboard” Sandusky.. because there may be and probably are others..
At the least he should lie detected and de-briefed for info..
Possibly pedophilia is worse then “treason”...

This article is very badly written and hard to read.

If a guy comes to me and says he saw something in the showers you think one would not press the issue? JoePa is lying. This makes me sick.

+1. We're in agreement in the other thread.

Sandusky wasn't sneaky. He was seen various times in Paterno's showers with young boys.

If you have any doubt, read the indictment to see how Sandusky groomed these boys just like all pedophiles do. People testified that Paterno knew the truth and from what I’ve read, he is also guilty of failing to act.

By being too stubborn to retire, he’s probably going to end up being the sacrificial one, saving higher-ups at Penn State from further culpability.

It's still Linebacker U!

Personally, I think Paterno is selfish and power-mad. He should retire.

Of course. We all know that cheating is part of the game.
