Ex-Nittany Lions appalled over DeAndre Levy’s ‘dirtbag’ Joe Paterno comments
A group of former Penn State football players are none too pleased with DeAndre Levy.
During a game against Penn State in 2006, the then-Wisconsin linebacker shoved a Nittany Lions player out of bounds and into Joe Paterno, breaking the head coach’s leg in the process. In an interview with Men’s Journal earlier this month, Levy showed his disdain for the stain that is the Jerry Sandusky scandal by referring to Paterno as a “dirtbag” and claiming that the role he played in breaking Paterno’s leg was “his proudest moment in college football.”
In a statement to the Detroit Free Press, 21 players who played under Paterno condemned Levy’s comments, saying in part that his words “speaks to a complete lack of character and moral integrity on the part of Mr. Levy.”
We find the recent statement by DeAndre Levy about Coach Paterno appalling, along with the silence that has accompanied it. To joyfully and proudly take credit for hurting a defenseless human being is sad, in and of itself. But, to couple this gleeful statement with a willful ignorance of the facts and circumstances surrounding our coach speaks to a complete lack of character and moral integrity on the part of Mr. Levy. Mr. Levy’s comments reflect poorly on him, his university, the Detroit Lions and the NFL, and are certainly deserving of vocal condemnation.
Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris, a very ardent and unflinching Paterno supporter, was one of the 21 who signed the statement. The others included Jeff Bergstrom, Jeff Butya, Craig Cirbus, Tom Couch, Tom Donchez, Rudy Glocker, Brian Hand, Christian Marrone, Brian Masella, Bob Mrosko, Greg Murphy, John Nessel, Rick Nichols, Stephen Pitts, Joel Ramich, Mickey Schuler Sr., Brad Scovill, Brandon Short, Ray Tesner and Dan Wallace. Additionally, Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell, a former Paterno assistant, signed it as well.

Oh shut the fuck up. His statements have nothing to do with Wisconsin, the Detroit Lions, or the NFL. Go fuck yourselves in your sanctimonious assholes.Ex-Nittany Lions appalled over DeAndre Levy’s ‘dirtbag’ Joe Paterno comments

I wholeheartedly support Mr. Levy's comments, but what I'm most interested in is that his current head coach in the NFL signed a letter condemning them.

Franco still writing angry letters to every person that dares besmirch the name of St Joe. What a clown.
I wonder if he takes his cardboard cutout of Joe to Thanksgiving diners and places it at the head of the table?

I have misplaced my pants.
Again, I want Michigan State to beat Penn State. First, because I don't want them to win another game ever. Second, to get Ohio State into the championship game, because I don't trust the committee to get it right without a conference championship.
But I enjoy this thread:

Apparently, Franco Harris was a guest on New York's WFAN radio station yesterday in response to DeAndre Levy's recent comments about Joesus.. The result was the usual hilarity whenever Franco talks about Joesus. Naturally, BWI is lapping up Franco's insanity.

capkrokus: "The senile old goof Jim Colony actually said "I watched JVP walked out of his house in front of dozens of kids in his front yard & say I could have done more".
Franco should have responded by saying this is exactly what I'm talking about. That statement doesn't have an ounce of truth to it, but their misinformed listeners will take it as being true."
Nittany Ned2: "Sadly, this is indicative of the state of this country today. The majority are not encumbered by or curious for the truth. Everyone is just out there looking for affirmation of their existing world view. In short, my world view IS "the truth" and yours is a lie."
lionlurker: "Franco is a man amongst boys when it comes to his fellow Lettermen."
bdgan: "Franco says that MM told him in person that he didn't see anything sexual. And remember, Dranov just testified with a similar story."
83wuzme: "I had to endure a 30 minute cab ride in Chicago with some know - nothing cabbie who proceeded to lecture me about the Sandusky scandal after I told him where I was from. Uber next time."
fairgambit: "...why not give a man with a lifetime of decency and honor the benefit of the doubt?"
lionlurker: "Because he represented an ideal standard that most of these people subconsciously know they cannot reach. Therefore, rather than feel bad about themselves, they choose to despise him for their failings."
fairgambit: "Franco could have spoken with the eloquence and reason of Winston Churchill and it would have made little difference. Thanks to the actions, and inactions, of our Board of Trustees, most people have accepted the public narrative and are unlikely to change their minds. Oddly, I find the ones most open to change, and a quest for the truth, are those who believe Joe did nothing wrong."
bkmtnittany1: "Yes, Joe left such a trail of garbage his entire life. All those NCAA violations...those horrible graduation rates...the fact that JVP was all about the $$$$ and never gave back to the university....he did so many things in his life that showed he would cover up for a pedophile."
lionlurker: "And yet, his employer vigorously destroyed him."
bkmtnittany1: "Talk about ingrates....may they all rot in hell."
Nittany Ned2: " I had dinner with some friends in Denver. Not sports people and they commented that Joe was such a terrible guy. To which, I said does it make sense that a guy who spent his entire career working with and for the benefit of young people, building a ethos and a university that he would so ham handedly ignore something like this? Isn't it strange that the 3 central persons to the state's conspiracy charges have not had their day in court 5 years on? I kept posing questions that forced them to stop and think critically. At the end of the dinner, I emailed them Ray's Blog and said keep an open mind and wait. The truth is coming."
PennSt8er: "Let's be serious. Millions and millions of dollars have been spent TO MAKE SURE THE TRUTH IS BURIED FOREVER. That, by itself, should shed light on the fact that Franco is in the good guy side of this story."
retsio: "How could a man who espouses for a team, a student body, a university' a simple statement that encourages anyone to live a good life -- Success with Honor, not live his own personal family life covering up a despicable act by one he knew? ........Not possible at all."
ChiTownLion: "The winning formula right now seems to be a guy like Franco Harris creating a news event in defense of JVP, followed by a whole bunch of people reacting on twitter, and then our #PSUtwitter army finishing them off with supporting evidence and documented facts."
hagberg: "I'm very suspicious of the motives of the "move on" crowd. We're supposed to move on because trying to get to as much truth as possible is too daunting a task? Here's what concerns me most about moving on: by doing so, the narrative of Joe knowing about and covering up for Sandusky's actions (or alleged actions, if that's your stance) is set in stone. The resulting media response, and therefore what the logic-challenged bulk of America will believe, is that everything alleged against Joe must be true, otherwise why would his defenders have given up?"
Legion of Lions: "Taking a "Moving on" approach to this Scandal is nothing more that saying "I SUPPORT CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES by PA Officials - I don't care a SH*T about "Victims"...I only want a deteriorating "Story" about Penn State to continue to provide cover for SERIOUS criminal activities FOREVER".
We now know for a fact - TRUTH and Justice have NOT been achieved. The "Story" which the public has been led to believe in is FACTUALLY eroding daily!!!"
