Decanonized Mythologized Disgraced Ped State Monster Coach Joe Paterno (Zombie Icon)

[NFBuck]

Yep. Beef O'Brady, I think his name is.

He in charge of those restaurants? They suck.

Not in charge. Assistant to the regional manager. He has connections in fine dining though.

Why are we crucifying this man? He didn't know that child molestation existed. I for one, stand with Franco.

"You know, he didn't want to get specific. And to be frank with you I don't know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man," he said.

(Worst part is, I haven't been to any Pedo St. boards since reading about this interview, but I can almost guarantee that those kool-aid drinkers are posting the same reaction as me, sans any shred of sarcasm.)

An 84 year old man expects us to seriously believe he has never heard of child molestation? Never heard of any man committing a rape?

Motherfucker, please.....

I think Franco took one too many head shots back in the day.

...about 200 people migrated to a separate meeting room where Harris, who earned fame as a Pittsburgh Steeler in the 1970s, told them Paterno should be brought back to coach the first four games of the next season -- the number of games he missed for being fired in 2011.

Harris said. "If there is no closure with Joe, then I know I will not go to the first four games of the season."

And yet another perpetuation of the lie that Paterno was actually fired by Ped State, instead of merely suspended with pay from coaching his final football games.

Paterno told The Washington Post in his first extensive public comments since being dismissed by the university in November.

Nothing could be more disingenuous than to argue that those slimeballs at Ped State didn't know exactly what they were doing when they nitpicked their language at the presser. It's (additionally) sickening to me that so many media outlets aren't paying attention to this. Penn State LIED to the public--deliberately deceived everyone--as to their intent, and it appears very few people are aware of it. Should we really be surprised that they got away with hiding Old Jer's hobby for more than a decade?

I despise these people more and more each day. I really want something very, very bad to happen to them.

A major Penn State fundraiser, Anthony Lubrano, who helped organize the session with Harris, told the group: "We can't move forward and heal until we resolve this Joe Paterno matter." He said if Penn State apologized to Paterno, "I think people would be relieved. You can't heal until you cure what ails you," he told Reuters.

My reply to Reuters:

"Right. Because it's Poor Penn State that needs to heal. Poor Penn State that is the Victim. Poor Penn State whose life has been devastated.

Well, SOMETHING needs to be healed there in that ethical Chernobyl, but if one can judge from the endless stream of alumni quotes and fanatic supporter's posts on the web, it isn't going to happen in our lifetimes. At least, the pervasive cult-like Happy Valley mindset that has been revealed in the past two months provides an explanation for HOW Sandusky prevailed for so many years unhindered. The litany of discounting, dissociating, minimizing, victim-bashing, incomprehension, stone-walling, concealment and self-pity spewing out of PA has provided a revelation possibly even more disgusting than the disclosures about Sandusky himself."

You can't heal until you cure what ails you

Yeah, I got yer cure right here:

 

[NFBuck]

Those people are just gross.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Just another example of how off their rockers the pedtards are:

"Things seem to be changing"? It must be awesome to be so isolated from reality.


...and for the record, on the ped aggy-scUM discussion from earlier...I hope scUM drops 70 on them every game from here on out. These people are disgusting, subhuman, mutants. I can never root for them for anything again. Just a complete disgrace to this country and the human race as a whole.

Absolutely. I won't root for them ooc either. Michigan are a bunch of arrogant pricks that are our rival in football. Ped Aggy is a group of despicable cultist scumbags who are an affront to decent, civilized society.

The only exception might be a scenario where we would need them to beat Wiscy the last game of the season to give us a spot in the B10CG, and I'd have to choke back the vomit even then.

I've been rooting for TSUN twice a year ever since PoSU joined the B1G. The other time is versus ND. That's a direct result of spending way too much time in western Pennsylvania.

All the recent events have done is reinforce those feelings.

To be fair, JoePa was only 75 when McQueary told him about Sandusky being in the shower with the kid.

And I believe Joe is Catholic, and how in the world could you expect him to believe in the possibility of men sexually abusing boys in March, 2002? If only there had been some news stories in January and February of 2002 that talked about such a thing actually occurring.

Woman says church ignored her outcries

Remember that woman who gave the long interview when all this broke? I believe that she had been the Penn State beat reporter for one of the Philly or Pitt papers at the time. She said that JoePed in 2002 was not the senile old man who stood out on the lawn screaming "beat Nebraska." Rather, he was in total command of his faculties and ran that athletic department and university with an iron hand.

He's playing the senile old fool card now because it's the only thing he has to try and justify his lack of action. The reality, however, hasn't changed. He refused to act because his first and only consideration was for himself, his legacy and his football program.

Shortly after seeing that interview, I added it to post #1 in the Sandusky thread, so that it could be easily accessed in the future.

This is a hell of a good point. Joe knew the crap storm coming down the pike from this, and simply chose to cover it up so as not to be a part of the (justified) feeding frenzy of negative press to come. And if not to cover it up forever, to at least delay it until his exit.

Certainly, the safety of children was not foremost in his mind. One thing about his age: I know this is not a valid statistical sample, but over the decade in discussing this with my friends and co-workers in heavily Catholic New Orleans, there is a very distinct schism between the opinions of younger and older Catholics. Many people I have spoken with that are nearer Joe's age minimize the actions of the Church, and criticize the press and lawyers when the subject comes up. Younger people are just horrified at the attitude of protecting the institution over the kids.

While that does not justify the cover up, I wonder if that generational worldview played a part in any way here.
