The arrogance of Paterno’s statement today was amazing.
"I am absolutely devastated by the developments in this case. I grieve for the children and their families, and I pray for their comfort and relief."
Praying for their comfort and relief wouldn’t be necessary (at least for some of them) if that old fuck had said something 10 years ago.
Some of the victims that have come forward were sexually abused AFTER Paterno was told of the shower incident.
Those are children and families that could have been spared going through hell if Paterno had acted like a god damn human being and done something more than simply cover his own ass by doing the absolute minimum required by law.
"I have come to work every day for the last 61 years with one clear goal in mind: To serve the best interests of this university and the young men who have been entrusted to my care. I have the same goal today.”
And that’s it in a nutshell. The university and his guys are the only ones this worthless piece of shit cares about. Protecting the good name (no longer) of his program was clearly more important to Paterno than protecting children from being sodomized and forced to perform oral sex on his longtime friend.
IMO, Paterno and everyone else who turned a blind eye to this sick fuck raping little boys deserves to share a jail cell with him.
i will forgive him.
Would you still forgive him if it had been your son or brother that had been sodomized and forced by a pedophile to perform oral sex AFTER Paterno learned what was going on but decided to protect the good name of his program instead of protecting the children that his longtime friend was sexually abusing?
no decent coach is going to want and go there after all the penalities they receive they will be LUCKY if they just receive what usc got all of their players after this year are going to want to get out of there and all the decent kids in high school are going to go no where near that school
I just read the full Grand Jury report. There were TONS of different people who should have been able to figure this out. It boggles my mind at how many people dropped the ball. Here Sandusky is dragging tons of different kids to a bunch of different ball games....then suddenly the kids don't want to be around him anymore. HELLO PEOPLE!!!
And that one kid tells his mom about the shower incident, she confronts Sandusky, and he tells her what he did was wrong and he wanted to be dead. That's not enough to peak your curiousity to the fact that this guy might be big time trouble?
WTF is wrong with people. 
Just read an interesting article on espn.com. Talked about Paterno's age possibly being a factor in his decision to just tell his superior and not really follow up....saying that's how things were done in his day. Obviously, things have changed in the last 40 years.
But it does make a good point that it certainly might have had something to do with how he handled it.....the generation he is from. Doesn't excuse it, but certainly might help explain it.
Maybe he wanted not to believe that badly that something sinister was NOT going on that he sort of convinced himself. Food for thought anyway.
everyone sits around and critizes Joe Pa, but put yourself in his shoes, one of your good friends/colleagues is accused of fondling a little boy, you are telling me you woulnd't want to be damn certain that the allegation is true before turning one of your good friends/colleagues in.
