As the person who originally removed the word "disgraced" from the thread title I want to thank the person who put it back. Was planning on doing so myself once the report came out.

That said, it is a negative personality trait to revel in the suffering of others.



I need serious counseling.

Just not until this penalties are handed out. This is the best time..it's their time to squirm and wonder. The speculation of just how big of a hole they are in. The abuse is coming and the best part is it can come from any number of sources..the Feds, NCAA, Oprah....

Freeh Report: Joe Paterno Burning In Hell Right Now



PHILADELPHIA?Releasing a full report of his investigation into the Penn State scandal at a press conference Thursday morning, former FBI director Louis J. Freeh disclosed that the late Joe Paterno was indeed burning in hell at this very moment for his part in covering up the sexual abuse of young boys.

A little perspective from around the country via the top NY Times comments just in case we are all biased in our opinions on this issue:

  • CW
  • Seattle

Paterno's statement, and the subsequent actions of his family, were cynica, self-serving, dilatory, and underhanded. They remind me very much of the Catholic Church's decades of institutional wagon-circling against the truth of its molestation scandals.

In particular, Paterno's smarmy denial that his and the university's failure to act in the Sandusky affair might somehow tarnish "accomplishments by dedicated student athletes" is, in practical reality, an attempt to hijack the athletic program's credibility to defect attention from the molestations.

In doing this, Paterno and his family have undermined the very athletic program they purported to protect. If "Joe Pa," his athletic program, the Penn State have been discredited, the blame is with them, not with those who have sought to expose the truth of what happened within Paterno and other officials pulled out all the stops to protect Sandusky from scrutiny.

Shame on all of them.

The Paterno family simply won't or can't see that there's no longer a positive legacy to protect, and that the only scraps of respect will come from their transparency, openness, and compassion in speaking about nothing else other than Sandusky's victims and their well-being. The family's statement issued Tuesday is a continuation of their defensiveness and detachment from reality. And Paterno's letter, all about protecting 'player's accomplishments' - translation: his own - is one last exhibition of denial and cluelessness.

Coach Paterno's claim that the scandal is not "an indictment of football" is both blind and disgusting. The fixation on football--win at all costs, don't let anything undermine the reputation of the team--is exactly what led to this scandal. Paterno's legacy is certainly and deservedly tarnished.

Penn State football should pay the ultimate penalty here, the demise of its football program. This won't happen, because their culture values itself more than the children who were victimized. Joe Paterno is at the core of this scandal, and Penn State will protect his legacy as they protect themselves from liability and doing the right thing.

Penn State should have its football program closed down. After a few years it can reopen and build itself back to a decent program doing things the proper way. The situation at Penn State is far more egregious than the situation was at SMU which received the "death penalty" for other far less heinous actions in the past. At some point rational people have to say. "Enough!" Universities are educational endeavors, not sports-entertainment enterprises. The NCAA itself is corrupt and totally about money. Let all the professional leagues create minor leagues and do sports that way leaving the colleges and universities out of it.

Wow. Joe just did not get it. Even in his let letter he is only concerned about the football legacy. No, Joe, I'll tell you what should not be tarnished: the precious souls of the vulnerable children who were abused because you were too warped to stop it. But those souls were beyond tarnished. Not a single one of your football victories matters, Joe.

The "Paterno legacy"? Who does the Paterno family think they're kidding? Joe Paterno's only legacy is the sickening story of a vain man who did nothing to stop child sex abuse.

Are they taking Paterno's statue down? If they don't then they don't get it.

Nope, it would appear that the opinions expressed here are universal.

I didn't realize that Tim Curley wanted to discuss stepping down with Joe Paterno last decade and Paterno wouldn't let Curley in the house (thus keeping his job).

I laughed when I heard that on the radio just now.

Contrast these well thought-out responses with the batshit crazy responses we are seeing from the cult members on the message boards.
