Consider the source, obviously.
ORD_Buckeye;2337074; said:Oh, I know. I just put that out there as further proof of how incredibly insular and self-reverential the cult is.
Mike80;2337080; said:You know, I've not been able to find the exact right words to describe these people (other than mutant subhuman inbreds), but you just did.
Joe's a monster who was told Jerry Sandusky had raped a kid in the school shower, and somehow managed to sleep at night -- every single night, for another decade -- without checking back with the police, without asking, "Say, whatever happened with that incident in my football team's shower?"
Or ... Joe's an innocent who was told something about Sandusky and a kid in the shower, reported it to his boss, and therefore has no culpability in whatever happened next.
Those are the two sides, and they've been chosen. Every time Jay Paterno or Scott Paterno speaks, they drive the wedge deeper between one side and the other. One of them speaks and the side that believes in the myth of Joe Paterno has something else to hold onto, something to fool themselves into thinking feels real.
The other side? The side that knows Joe Paterno was one of the handful of men in the world with the knowledge and power to make sure Sandusky was stopped, but didn't make sure? Allowing Sandusky to rape who knows how many more boys in the next decade? We have some fresh new kindling, and a match to reignite our anger.
Either way, Jay Paterno's words don't help. They hurt. They bring this awful story back for all of us to think about all over again.
Then again ... maybe that's good. Maybe that's what we need, a steady series of reminders of the evil that could lurk among us, and of the corruption of power that can happen when a man -- even one as seemingly good as Joe Paterno -- is granted god-like status in his community.
Whatever the case may be, Jay Paterno spoke to Dennis Dodd and I read it and saw five examples, then 10, then another 10, of the delusion that has allowed that family to function since November 2011. But I don't feel anger at Jay Paterno, just sadness.
As for all of you other Paterno sycophants, you men and women who see what you want to see simply because Joe Paterno once coached your favorite football team? I have plenty of anger for you. Disgust is another word for it.

Yet according to a special report in this week's Sports Illustrated, changes in the university's once-exemplary medical care are raising questions about the promises to rein in the athletic department and operate transparently. A number of former players and members of the Penn State football family told SI they are dismayed that Wayne Sebastianelli has been relieved of his duties as the longtime director of athletic medicine and orthopedic surgeon-head physician for the football team. It's part of an abrupt shift in the school's healthcare program for football -- a shift that will provide less on-site coverage. Instead of having an orthopedic surgeon who attends every practice, Penn State now employs a primary care physician in State College and an orthopedic consultant who commutes about two hours each way from Hershey, Pa., at least once a week.
The special report, written by senior writer David Epstein also found:
