Scott Dierking Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Paterno was going to be gone after this year anyway. You could see it coming, without this. They wanted him out 5 years ago....remarkably, they couldn't get it done?????? Spanier cancelled today's teleconference, not Paterno. Paterno wanted to speak about this supposedly. I would still like to see him have the chance to explain. It will absolve nothing, but he deserves the chance to tell his side and what he was thinking. If Spanier survives this, there will be revolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Because he did the same in order to get a job in the PSU athletic department. He is the only eyewitness to a crime and does nothing. McCreary can't say he "turned a blind eye" to the predator's crime. He saw it first hand and did nothing. 6'4", 210-220 lbs, 28 years old, and does nothing to stop a 60 year-old anally raping a 10 year-old. What a f***ing scumbag.

Agreed, but you also don't have a university's legacy and images riding on your shoulders either. Not saying I condone his act, but I'm sure he had a lot riding on this situation as well. Still, he shouldn't played noble and done what was right, now it's gonna bite him in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In truth, I think I'm a good enough person to not let my thoughts go to what legacies and corporate/university images I should be concerned about before acting upon the sight of a grown man with his penis in a child's rear end. If that really makes me that much better of a man, then I guess I just am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I condone his act, but I'm sure he had a lot riding on this situation as well. Still, he shouldn't played noble and done what was right, now it's gonna bite him in the butt. Even if we was completely freaked out, he did no follow up to see if Paterno or anyone had called the cops. I'm not defending his actions,but may be he was so freaked out he couldn't process what he saw. Receall some people who saw the planes crash on 9/11 were briefly frozen by what they had seen. Yet what he failed to do, to see that SOMEONE called 911 and the cops to see this child was protected is simply disgraceful beyond words. Sandusky was the Devil. Apparently records indicate one of the victims was roommates with Sandusky's son at PSU. Don't know if it is the same son, but one of his sons, Jon Sandusky, has taken a leave of absence from his job with the Cleveland Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Epic fail- Sandusky wears Penn State sweater when the media comes to his house. Why he goes out at all, and with anything but a bulletproof vest, is amazing. CNN intern calls this prestigous university "PEEN STATE". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how I would react to seeing something like that. You're right though, the fact that he didn't contact the police about witnessing a child being raped.. mind boggling.

I've thought about this, but the timing makes no sense for it to me. The only way I could see the PSU issue having anything to do with Gricar is if part of the reason Gricar disappeared on his own (if he really did) was guilt over not doing anything about Sandusky. But man that's one hell of a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rillo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Has the NCAA say anything about this?

dbatesman Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I know ESPN's lack of integrity is low-hanging fruit, but seriously: the "expert" they tabbed to opine on this whole thing is Matt Millen, who is a) a former Penn State player; a close personal friend of Joe Paterno; c) a member of the board of directors of Jerry Sandusky's charity; and d) a ******* dunce.

Paterno needs to man up and face these charges. He and the pedophile have been friends for 50 years. No way Paterno didn't know what was going on.

Matt39 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's not just that "football is life." In that part of rural Pennsylvania, football sustains life. It is "the economic and spiritual heartbeat of an entire section of a state. The Nittany Lions football regularly draws 100,000 fans to Happy Valley. They also produce $50 million in pure profit for the University every year and has been listed as the most valuable team in the Big 10 conference. Another economic report held that every Penn State game pumps $59 million into the local economy: from hotels to kids selling homemade cookies by the side of the road. It’s no wonder that Paterno is revered. He took a football team and turned it into an economic life raft for a university and a region. When something becomes that valuable, a certain mindset kicks in. Protect the team above all over concerns. Protect Joe Pa. Protect Nittany Lions football. Protect the brand. In a company town, your first responsibility is to protect the company." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
