which I knew had been investigated by the CPS gestapo for child molestation in 1998

According to the investigative reporter I listened to yesterday, Paterno knew nothing about the 1998 incident. His name is mentioned nowhere.

Does that clear it up for you?

Really? You don't think that the campus police or the State College police would not have made sure Joe knew in '98? Their thinking would have been: "If I withold this from Joe, it could be the end of me."

And Sandusky "retired" the next year, and you really think that Joe had NO IDEA that Sandusky was a pedophile?

Just no way. Sorry. Loyalty is a good thing, but allowing serial child rape should trump that feeling.

I get it though...you're not going to be convinced until you see a picture of Joe in boots and a raincoat watching Sandusky abusing a 10 y/o boy in a shower.

Nope, you didn't read it.

Paterno knew nothing about the 1998 incident. His name is mentioned nowhere.

He knew nothing of it? Sandusky was fired in 1999 which, incidentally was not long after Sandusky's admission to the mother of Victim 6 that he had indeed molested her son in a shower at Pedo State's facilities. Also, it was not long after the mother of Victim 6 went to the Pedo State faculty which spurred the investigation of Sandusky and you would have us "cretins" believe that the "TITAN" of college football was not made aware of what was going on in his facility?

Yeah, you keep waiting...

Does that clear it up for you?

Heh....

I have a quote for you, Lancey:

Paterno’s son, Scott, has said that lawyers for Penn State assured him his father was never told about the 1998 report — investigated by university police.

I am sure all of us can rest assured that since a lawyer said it, it must be true. < /s >

I also have one more:

“And you’re going to tell me that Spanier and Paterno weren’t informed of something that was that huge that Ray Gricar was in on it but Spanier was kept in the dark?” she said. “I’m just not that stupid. I’m so upset I just can’t believe it.”

That's from the mother of Victim 6, he of the 1998 incident. It would seem that she would disagree with your assessment that Paterno was somehow left in the dark. You can read about it yourself here.

We don't know that...(unless you are omniscient)

Sandusky retired June of 1999. Obstensibly it was because he learned he would not be JoePa's replacement.

My, how coincidental the retirement came to the '98 stuff.

And, of course, Joe never heard from the AD as to why Sandusky was retiring at just 55 years of age.

Of course, it wasn't a "coerced" retirement or anything like that...of which, of course, JoePa NEVER knew anything about.
