That’s REAL world. . . In the legal world, deployment of lawyerly techniques such as your obfuscations, shadings, misdirections and subtleties may actually save his rear-end.

The real world is where you don't live. I'm giving you the facts -- at least as claimed in the Grand Jury report.

But you live in some fantasy world where Paterno never reported it to the police (i.e Schultz) and had some special power in which he could keep Sandusky from facilities to which appears to have had a contracted right to access, and that he had some sort of special investigative law enforcement ability that would enable him to purse crimes the average police couldn't.

I can't fight that fantasy.

The grand jury report seems to have left unanswered the issue of what exactly McQueary told Paterno about the 2002 incident. I wonder why?

I think that a possible answer is that Joe Paterno is cooperating with the prosecution and that the designated fallguys are the AD and the VP of Finance.

Paterno probably thought that he’d skate, but Spanier has been trying to get Paterno out of there since his last contract expired. University president Graham Spanier has to go... Paterno too.

“I can’t fight that fantasy.”

Or the tidal wave of individuals of all stripes, who can recognize plain truth and facts, and are calling for Paterno to step down, or worse.

Now who is it that has the fictional construct?

So you are saying that if Joe Paterno, the GOD of Penn State football, had gone to the University and demanded they be rid of Sandusky, that they would not have done so?

If you believe that then you seem to be the one with the fantasies on the brain.

The next question should be, why DIDN’T JoePa demand that Sandusky not be allowed anywhere near his program? Wasn’t the hallmark of the PSU program “Success with Honor”? Should Paterno have done that if he had any concern whatsoever that something of this nature was going on.

Sandusky was still holding football camps and recruiting on behalf of the football program.

Paterno MAY have abided by the law. But wasn’t his reputation and the reputation of his program supposed to be about much more than doing the minimum? And to think PSU fans criticized Jim Tressel and OSU.

AGAIN! Schultz was NOT the police.
