Two things you'd never know tonight:
1) JoePa was one of MANY who failed those victims.
2) The name of the alleged predator is Jerry Sandusky
Look, obviously he had to go, but he said he would be stepping down at season's end. Why obliterate his legacy by firing him (through a cowardly phone call, no less)? Penn State was nothing before Paterno arrived. He IS the school.
The students are way out of line, but the maturity of the "adults" in the situation isn't a whole lot better.
Ice4Blood-
I couldn't have said it better myself-
JFEn- WTF? You used to have my respect but how can you think the way you are thinking?
Let's say we give Joe Pa the benefit of the doubt:
In summary-1994 rumors of him being involved with young children.
1998- He is investigated but not charged
2002- Let's just say McCreary only told Joe they were "horsing around in the shower naked"
After all this you don't think Joe Pa should have said- FUCK YOU SANDUSKY- and distanced himself as far as he could from the guy?
Fast foward to DEC 2010- Paterno testifies before the Grand Jury- at this time he KNOWS Sandusky is a pedophile-
Yet- Sandusky continues to visit campus, visit practices, and still workout at the football facilities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What excuse do you have for that JFEN? None because there is no excuse- you distance yourself from this pedophile way before this point yet JOE PA DID NOT!
Absolutely 1000% spot on 
From NESN:
In April, Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden wrote a story revealing Penn State for much of the cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's alleged child rape that has been exposed in the past week. While it didn't raise many eyebrows back then, six months later it looks to be incredibly accurate.
On Thursday morning, just hours after legendary head coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired by the school's board of trustees, Madden was asked on The Dennis and Callahan Show what he believes the next piece of news will be.
What he said was twice as shocking as anything that's been released thus far.
"I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen," Madden told John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. "I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation -- and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can -- that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak."
After the news spread, Madden later explained via Twitter why he went public with the rumors.
"I normally abhor giving RUMORS credence," Madden wrote. "But whole Sandusky scandal started out as a RUMOR. It gets deeper and more disgusting all the time. One of state's top columnists investigating. That adds credence. I am NOT rumor's original source. [Why does] Sandusky deserve benefit of doubt?"
Madden also spoke more definitively on Dennis and Callahan to the cover-up efforts at the school and beyond that he expects will be made public soon.
"The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, and I talked about this in my original article back in April, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up," Madden said. "If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
"My opinion is when Sandusky quit, everybody knew -- not just at Penn State," Madden added. "I think it was a very poorly kept secret about college football in general, and that is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55. [That's] young for a coach, certainly."
