Gatorubet;2071772; said:Ease up on Paterno
This letter to the editor - and the comments about it - are truly both frightening and enlightening.
But everyone is saying "Oh, Paterno knew some boy was raped and didn't do anything" - NO, HE KNEW THAT SANDUSKY WAS IN THE SHOWER WITH SOME BOY. That's what he was told.
Beano Cook;2072236; said:Exactly! Who among us has never taken a shower with some boy?
The conspiracy to run Joe Pa out of town reminds me of the time when those bastards from West Point brought down Rockne's plane.
Leave Joe Pa alone!
Wife: Charged PSU administrator Curley has cancer
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- A Penn State administrator charged with failing to report an allegation of child sex abuse involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky has been diagnosed with a recurrence of lung cancer.
Athletic Director Tim Curley's wife says doctors are monitoring his condition after an illness first diagnosed in June 2010 flared up again.
Melinda Curley said in a statement Wednesday doctors had removed half of one lung after discovering a malignant tumor but neither chemotherapy nor radiation was required. She thanks well-wishers and requests privacy.
Tim Curley's lawyer Caroline Roberto says he doesn't want his health to minimize the serious legal issues.
Curley is on administrative leave. He's also charged with perjury and is awaiting trial.

Jerry Sandusky sat in president's box at Beaver Stadium for Joe Paterno's 409th victory, sources say
A week before his arrest on charges of child sex abuse, sources say Jerry Sandusky watched Joe Paterno notch his 409th victory from the president?s box at Beaver Stadium, sources said Wednesday.
A source close to the Penn State board of trustees told The Patriot-News that Sandusky was seen in the president's box that day and later went to the Nitttany Lion Club.
Earlier Wednesday, former Nittany Lions linebacker Brandon Short said he had been told by two independent sources, whom he did not identify, that Sandusky was in the president's box for the Penn State-Illinois game on Oct. 29.
Penn State spokesman Bill Mahon said a search of the guest lists for the box for every Nittany Lions game during the last three seasons showed that Sandusky was never invited to the box.
The source, who requested anonymity out of fear of jeopardizing business relationships, also told The Patriot-News that Curley originally did not want to give Sandusky tickets to the game, but Sandusky's wife, Dottie, was so insistent that he eventually relented.
Penn State beat Illinois that day to make Paterno the winningest football coach in the history of major college football. One week later, Sandusky was arrested on charges he sexually assaulting several young boys over 15 years, some in the Penn State athletic facilities.
In the months that followed, Penn State's administration came under fire when a grand jury report said that senior university officials were aware of Sandusky?s alleged transgressions but did little to stop him.
The claims about Sandusky in the president's box would be another indication of the former assistant football coach?s full access to the campus even after Penn State officials were made aware of the state investigation.
Short said he was extremely frustrated when he was told about the Oct. 29 game.
"I don't understand how something like that can happen," Short said. "It's for certain that the university was aware of these charges back in March, and at a minimum, we should have been much more prepared about the fallout."
...
"I don't think the university can move forward until it fully addresses the issues at hand," Short said. "There's an air of secrecy about how the board of trustees operates, and the university is resisting the media's requests [to make public] the 1998 report on the Jerry Sandusky investigation."
Short also questioned the nature by which Penn State is conducting its internal investigation into the Sandusky scandal.
"[Head investigator and former FBI Director] Louis Freeh is an excellent investigator, but he answers to [university trustees] Ken Frazier, and Ron Tomalis, the state secretary of education, and you can hardly call that an independent investigation," Short said. "The only way to give the victims justice is to conduct an independent investigation."
