Joe Paterno

[Hip Hop/Logicbomb]

Joe Pa and Penn St football is who most of NJ rooted for when I was young. NJ had nothing else in college football but Penn St. Rutgers was a joke. All NJ HS football kids wanted to go there. I always like Penn St and Joe but learn early in life NEVER to blindly worship anyone or any place including teams, athletes, coaches, parents, priest, my HS, my teachers etc.

Excellent post!! +1

IF ANYONE ON THAT BOARD HAD ANY BALLS THEY WOULD TERMINATE EVERONE INVOLVED! THEY ARE TO WORRIED ABOUT THE LAW SUITS THAT MAY COME THIER WAY.
To bad the lawyers in this country have this much control over the MORAL COMPASS!!!!

The part that blows my mind in the videos are these moron PSU fans outside his house yelling his name and shouting "we love you Joe". This whole thing is disgusting. All of these "men" involved in this cover -up should be punished.

As far as the retirement, it's a joke. NO WAY he was coming back next year after this mess anyway. All he is worried about is his legacy. TOO LATE JOE!!

Wow...this is gonna get alot worse before it gets any better.

What Sandusky did is awful and I completely agree he deserves the worst possible punishment possible, but for us to sit here and say he should kill himself and needs to die..what does that say about us?

Should this had been started in the Coll. Form or does something like this belong in the Fire Section ?

I tried talking about it on a college forum but nobody goes on it .. the Fire forum isnt just for dumb high school stuff .. I thought this would be OK ... Its definitlay a passionate debate

Everyone can decide for themselve but if it was one of my kids.


Grand Jury Report page 6-7

It was about 9:30 p.m. As the graduate assistant entered the
locker room doors, he was surprised to find the lights and showers on. He then heard
slapping sounds. He believed the sounds to be those of sexual activity. As the graduate assistant put the sneakers in his locker, he looked into the shower. He saw a naked boy, Victim 2, whose age he estimated to be ten years old, with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to ...................

I have to agree with Officer Slater about some of the talk about Sandusky needing to kill himself, thats going just alittle too far. It was wrong with what he did to these teens but he will get whats coming to him in the end !
Lets all just hope these youngmen (who were in their teens when this happen) can over come all of this & get on with their lives after all of this is said & done. They will need all the support of their family,friends,and other to get threw all of this mess because of all the support that the Penn St. fans have for the school & coaches. They will all have to relive everything that has happen to them again every single day in newspapers,on TV, and in courts when it gets time for all of that stuff to begin. Lets just keep all of them in our prayers, because they will need then now more then ever.
