I argued with BB73 a little bit yesterday about whether it was necessary to read the presentment in order to have a clear idea of this case. He was right, reading the presentment makes it clearer.

One conclusion that seems almost unavoidable from the grand jury report, is that everyone involved in the PSU football program for the past 15 years at least - coaches, assistants, trainers, players, everyone - had to have been suspicious of Sandusky. I know several have professed themselves "shocked" by this, and maybe they are, but I don't see how it's possible, given the way he apparently behaved in public for years. People at the flippin' high school he volunteered at were suspicious before any accusations were made - how could no one at Penn State have been?

I had a similar experience. I went back and read the whole thing. One really has to to grasp this, BB was right. It is awful.

I have used the word "surreal" before, many times. I don't think I ever knew what it really meant. I have witnessed awful things and frankly lived a crazy life, but I have never had that feeling of "this can't be real."

I don't tend to believe in conspiracies, though I see them all the time at work. But this, this was a system for abuse. I will not be surprised if more boys are found to have been abused, many more, or if they were but are never found. I won't be surprised if more men are found to be abusers. It is earthshatteringly bad.

Presser on right now.

Tom Bradley stated that McQuery will be coaching at the game. It's a gametime decision on if he'll be in the box or on the sideline.

If Ginger Kid shows up in Columbus next saturday I strongly suggest they keep him in the box. It's not like he's tough to spot on the sidelines.

I'm glad to see others are going back and reading the report. It's awful, but it's only a report. You should be able to handle reading it if the victims can manage to survive it.

It truly brings to light how lame some of the rationalizations for Joe Pa's inaction, McQueary's inaction, and everyone else involved given the depth of the depravity. For people to act like they didn't know or didn't see signs beyond what was directly witnessed is absurd. They knew, they just didn't want to deal with it. They deserve their fate.

He's going to end up being one of the internal guys they shift blame too.

I've seen more than a few "McQueary HAS to be lying about what he told Joe" posts. In ten years time all they idiots are going to remember is how Mike McQueary got pooper fired.

Still only Madden as a source at this time, but...I imagine one of those "prominent columnists" is Isakoff.

And if your brain doesn't hurt enough already, the following link showed up in the responses to the article. I've heard things about this before, but most of the time I like to think they are dark fairy tales. It's truly overwhelming to try to restructure your mental world map to accept that anything of this magnitude is happening every single moment of every single day, while we cheerfully channel surf and order pizzas. Random in one thing, but organized and powerful and connected...I still want to be in denial, because I don't know what you do if you accept it as real.

This is fiction, but my wife brought up that Freddy Krueger was burned for what he did with kids.

That would be a pretty apt punishment if the allegations against Jerry Sandusky are true.

If everything is true, hell bring back scaphism...and that wasn't fiction.
