This. If you have not listened to the interview you really should. It's somewhere around 15 minutes in, but Jones mentions that Sandusky used to have a golf tournament for The Second Mile, and it was the biggest non-football event in town for years. Former players stopped showing up years ago when rumors started going around, and contributions have declined significantly.

Multiple eye-witnesses and enough innuendo to cause hundreds of people to disassociate themselves from Sandusky permanently, yet he was still allowed carte blanche around the program, practices, facilities ... everything. For fucks sake, Sandusky used field passes and tickets to lure in little kids who idolized Penn State football, then threatened to take the perks away if the kids refused his advances or tattled, and this is verifiable up into 2007, if not later (it's hard to keep up).

The more I hear, the less I want to know. How many hundreds of people knew or suspected Sandusky was a pedophile? Because it sounds like
this was the worst kept secret in town.

Sandusky running an organization to help kids is beginning to look as bad (and obvious) as Michael Jackson having sleepovers at Neverland Ranch.

I mentioned that whole conspiracy earlier. I think it is extremely unlikely that Ray Gricar was murdered by the Paterno family to keep things quiet; after he had already swept the case under the rug.

It should be mentioned that his brother Roy committed suicide in Dayton in 1996 using almost the exact same MO.

Oh, he'll have a legacy and absolutely the one that he deserves. Just not the one that he thinks he deserves.

The sad thing is Joe and some of his most ardent followers will think his legacy is being unfairly tarnished by Jerry Sandusky. It isn't, and this is an important clarification to make here. Monsters have always lived in our midst. They live among us, eat among us, work among us, and do things in secret, behind closed doors, that no one knows about, often leading double lives, often for extended periods of time. Child Molesters in positions of trust and prominence. The BTK killer. It is no one's fault but their own that these monsters are what they are. However, as people, as institutions, as society, we are judged on how we react to these monsters when they are uncovered. What are our actions? What are our priorities? What decisions do we make? What is the right thing, and do we do it? Who is the most vulnerable or victimized, and how do we best help them?

These are the questions, and subsequent answers, that will tarnish Joe's legacy. Completely. Forever. No one is blaming anyone for Jerry Sandusky being a child molester except for Jerry Sandusky. That's no one else's fault. But when you look at the reaction of good people, good people like Matt Millen, like LaVar Arrington, like Todd Blackledge, like the average everyday person...and they are literally in tears after READING something about it 10 years AFTER IT HAPPENED...like if they had just known something, ANYTHING, they would have done something...they have been betrayed, blindsided, you can see and hear and feel their hurt...and then you look at a person with the most power in the State of Pennsylvania, who not only knew something, he knew that the man was caught red-handed...in an unspeakable act...and he decided how HE would answer the questions above. It's not Jerry Sandusky, Joe, that will send you out like this...it is your answers to those questions, your priorities, and your decisions...and that is ALL. ON. YOU.

Paterno will be out by Friday and dead by Christmas. That's my prediction.

Pretty sure he passed away a few years back. That's the distinct impression I got while watching the Outside the Lines interview with him when they were investigating all of the criminal problems the players on the team were then having. I thought to myself, "Surely that's not a living human being."

It appears, to me, that the only thing they've got going for them is the fact that Pennsylvania does not (apparently) allow TV cameras into criminal court proceedings.

As scary as what you posted here sounds, there hasn't been a trial yet. (And of course, there may not be). But if there happened to be one... ug-ly.

The BoT has to be planning the ousting of President Graham Spanier.

1 - He signed off of Sandusky having his campus privileges reduced after the 2002 incident. How does he do that without asking why someone with 'emeritus' status is having restrictions imposed on him?

2 - He gave his "unqualified support" to both AD Curley and VP Schultz on Saturday, after they'd been charged with perjury and failure to report sexual abuse of a child.

3 - He cancels the press conference (which is his right), but he does it witthout even having the coutesy to inform JoePa before telling the press.

He's failing crisis management with flying colors.

Even without his bad mistakes since Saturday, the BoT has to realize that they need to clean house by removing the President, the AD, the VP, JoePa, and any of JoePa's assistants that have been around for more than a couple of years, including McQueary.

BoT? Bo Toxins, or as they're more formally known the Board of Toxins; as in
this shit is going to get toxic before it's over.

Hate to say this, but it sounds like Sandusky was screaming for help by acting out in such public manner. By not going after him, the program was acting as a enabler... and the victims continued to suffer.
