    Case of continuous misjudgement
    January 24, 2012 9:29 pm
    This wasn't a singular moment of inaction. Paterno's misjudgement was constant and ongoing. He may have known when Sandusky was first hired. He PROBABLY knew in 1998, when Sandusky was confronted and forced to retire. From Paterno's own sworn testimony: he DEFINITELY knew in 2002. Read about the victims after that date. Bowl game trips, the hotel sauna, the on-campus swimming pool, the basement where they screamed while being raped. Paterno turned his back and knowingly endangered children.

    On the back of a 1990 trading card dispersed by Second Mile (Sandusky's chairty established in 1977 to farm victims): “Being the most popular kid won’t mean much if you're in trouble with the law or have flunked out of school. So if your friends are making poor choices, stand up to your friends and stand out from the crowd. Don’t give up your winning future for short-term popularity.” - Joe Paterno Creepy Valley was home to not one, but many monsters. Sandusky, Paterno, Curley, Shultz, McCreary; they are all guilty of protecting their beloved football program before a child.

    I do not know the guy, but

    I am going side on what is players say about him. Then I am going to side that he turned in the assistant coach to the school for an investigation, because it was sensitive issue- he was not going to run on a plausible false claim to the police and damage the coach and school. He put it in the hands of the school. We still do not know if the assistant is guilty. If I was a betting man he is, but still.

    Let the man rest in peace

    Being from Pennsylvania and having several friends who played for Paterno they have nothing but high remarks for the guy. Because of him Penn State became a football power, the college grew, the town grew, hell, they even put in a bigger airport because of what he did at that school. Sandusky was the guy in the shower not Paterno. Joe got the information second hand and scratchy at best. McQuary should be asked, What did you do? Why didn't you help the kid? Paterno wasn't there!

    Well said, good article. Paterno's not free of guilt, but over the span of a lifetime, who is?
