Jay Paterno, being interviewed about how Joe discussed the cancer diagnosis with him:

"He has a tendency to minimize things."

Joe Pa emails reveal that he wanted his football players to be held to different standards.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204443404577052073672561402.html

Also found this tidbit interesting, given the current situation.
In 2004, after several incidents involving football players, Mr. Paterno told the Allentown Morning Call newspaper that the players weren't misbehaving any more than usual, but that such news was now more public. "I can go back to a couple guys in the '70s who drove me nuts," he said. "The cops would call me, and I used to put them in bed in my house and run their rear ends off the next day. Nobody knew about it. That's the way we handled it."

And apparently that standard amounted to, "bury it in house so that I can maintain this Potemkin facade of holy righteousness."

Had that self-righteous asshole coached anywhere other than that sleepy little, incestuous valley, we would have learned the truth about him decades ago.

The asshole conned the country for forty years that he was George Bailey when he really was Mr. Potter. I take comfort in the truth coming out and his national reckoning of shame coming about before he could slink off into the quiet comfort of death.

The WSJ continues their investigations

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100...073672561402.html?mod=WSJ_hp_MIDDLETopStories

I thought this was very telling from Dr Triponey, PSU's Standards and Conduct Officer. This quote is from a report she sent to Spainer, Curley and others. Sometime after she resigned in protest.

""Coach Paterno would rather we NOT inform the public when a football player is found responsible for committing a serious violation of the law and/or our student code," she wrote, "despite any moral or legal obligation to do so."

After reading the entire article, I know think major penalties for LOIC are not only possible but likely.

Good article. It talks about the group of PSU football players who crashed a party a few years ago, beat up a couple of students, and ended up not getting suspended, but having to clean up the stadium after home games.

It does support JoePa's contention that he should have the final say in determining appropriate punishment for players' misconduct.

Beat a fellow student unconscious: spend part of your afternoon bagging up discarded hot dog wrappers...seems proportionate to me. What's yer problem?

They actually did it 5 times. JoePa decided it wasn't necessary to punish his players any more after tOSU punished them on the field 37-17 in late October. I enjoyed my trip to Happy Valley that day.
