Maybe if you’d done a little research, you’d find that this letter was sent to his ex-players. It was meant for THEM, not us.

The family released it in an effort to stop the media’s non-stop effort to lay blame for this scandal where it doesn’t belong.

Tomorrow the Freeh report will be released and for $12 million, they didn’t interview McQueary, Schultz, Spanier, Curley, or any member of the Paterno family.

But because there are certainly a number of Freepers who didn’t like Joe before, now they will take whatever Freeh says as gospel. Did they believe a word he ever said about Waco? Why start now unless it conveniently already fits into your preconceived notions and conclusions?

Wow you are a Joe Paterno cultist, I'm grew up in the West PA region and I will tell you one of the best moments in sports history was when WVU beat Penn State on Halloween, 1984.

I didn't need to do "research" - it's in the article. I have no idea what that has to do with anything though.

The Freeh report is not even out yet, and Joe's defenders are already insinuating it's a pack of lies. I guess you've not much faith that it may exonerate him.

I don't need to read the Freeh report, which will probably only fill in some details.

The bottom line for me is this, when McQueary told Joe Paterno (and Joe Paterno later told other Penn State officials) that Sandusky was anally raping a young boy in the showers, all the Penn State officials worried about the repercussions for the program. Not a single Penn State official, including Joe Paterno, ever made any effort to find out if that poor boy needed help or was even still alive.

Not concern one for him, or all the other victims of Sandusky.

Lay blame where it does belong, would have been correct. You can worship this old pervert if you like, but, he was scum from the get go to the end.Sandusky and Penn St aren’t the only perverts in sports. It is rampant. These folks aren’t banned from sports as they are in the BSA

So like a directive from the Co$ to members of the SeaOrg. Noncultists wouldn't understand.
