The entire football staff needs to go, NOW.
That says they all knew what was happening.
That was, like, thirteen minutes ago? Or are things still screwed up from the clocks changing?
Kick him to the curb. He stayed well past his “best by” date and now he’s going out with the weekly trash.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer serial homosexual child-rapist enabler.
Yes. Can you just imagine Wide Receiver coach Mike McQueary being on the sideline Saturday? When it was his cowardice that was the key sequential fall in this domino of events?
Had McQueary intervened, things would have turned out much differently.
Agree.
Death Penalty.
What SMU did pales in comparison to dozens of children being molested over decades. We’ve only heard from a small portion of the victims.
What a tool...
What a sad end to such an illustrious career, well maybe not as illustrious now as we thought.
The real sad thing is that predator was allowed to damage all those young children. The Bible has some very strong words about those who would harm those little ones.
Something about them being better off to have a millstone around their neck and tossed into the water. I think that applies to abortionists too.
Good. I’m sorry, but he was an enabler in all of this.
I’m just heart-sick for the victims.
This is some good news. Paterno should be ashamed.
What exactly did USC and Ohio State do again? Penn State is a disgrace. Their billion dollar program of pedophile enablers should die forever.
He earned his fame,now he’s earned his disgrace.
I’ve got to believe Sandusky had the goods on other shenanigans that went on in Happy Valley, and it was going to be a case of “Mutually Assured Destruction”, if they went after him.
We’ve just uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
No, it was the 50 million a year in Football Profits that they were protecting.
Somewhere Jim Tressel has to be wondering why in the world he was fired on a Memorial Day over a few tattoos
I tend to agree with a commentator that I heard today who suggested firing and prosecuting the entire staff plus bulldozing the locker rooms where it happened.
Further, I see no reason on earth why so called institutions of higher learning need to maintain professional sports teams at all.
McPussy should be gone as well.
