[johnnyredstorm]

[finallyfamous]

Burn the stadium down.

 

[duba169]

Tbey aint going to lose accreditation. I just cant see it. Crazy stuff all around

 

[af1 1982]

Burn the stadium down.

You're from Ohio and I'm guessing an Ohio State fan. It's natural for you to feel this way. But this is dumb

Not just one dirt bag, remember that bastard paterno enabled all of this by sweeping it under the rug & continuing to let him have full access to the school & helping with the charity. Those sanctions weren't strong enough. They should've killed the program for 5 years.
I say burn the whole school down. I'm disgusted about the former players suing to get the record back & the other board members thinking about suing the ncaa. Bunch of rat bastards. Every single one of them...

And so is this. 

I swear, some of ya'll don't think rationally and say the dumbest things

 

[finallyfamous]

You're dumb for actually thinking I was being srs. And yes I am a student at tOSU

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I'm being serious. Burn the whole school down at this point. Use it as a cow pasture & manure farm. Almost everyone associated at the school is disgusting not even worthy of human excriment...

BTW, I read the Freeh report (or rather skimmed through it). There was nothing about a pedo ring which I'm almost sure there was. I wonder what intel he Freeh & his team found that wasn't shared with the public. If more comes out that wasn't shared with the public & it comes out, this will be even more damning...

Did the tooth fairy tell you this? Everyone is saying they're sure of a pedo ring. Where is your evidence, that article that was posted? Your kidding right? Show me hard proof that there was a pedo ring 

You're dumb for actually thinking I was being srs. And yes I am a student at tOSU

Explains a lot. Knew you weren't serious but wouldn't be surprised if you were

You're a funny dude for damning people to hell. How very christian or possibly catholic of you. Typical of the grossness of the psu alumni & it's students. I've said my piece so I'll digress with the comments & just discuss the news coming out about this case.

Witness: I Saw Sandusky And Penn State Booster Abuse Boys On Private Plane

By David Perel - Executive Vice President/Managing Editor Radar

A witness interviewed by federal authorities in the widening Penn State investigation claims he saw Jerry Sandusky and one of the school's prominent boosters sexually abusing boys on a private plane, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

The witness was interviewed by the U.S. Postal Inspectors with the FBI present. RadarOnline.com broke the news that a new investigation into a pedophile ring is now being conducted by federal authorities.

And while Postal Inspectors are also trying to determine if Sandusky shared pornography through the mail and sent seductive letters to his victims, the biggest bombshell is the allegation leveled by the witness who was interviewed within the past few weeks.

That man, who has a strong tie to the booster he is accusing, says that Sandusky and the booster abused two boys on a private plane in Pennsylvania, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

"The witness doesn't know if the boys are victims who have already been identified or not," the source told Radar. "He claims it happened on a private plane, with no pilot or crew around and that he was an eyewitness.

"His claim is being taken seriously by investigators. They have already asked another man who is connected to one of the victims if he knew anything about this. And they are following up with other potential witnesses."

While Postal Inspectors have taken the lead in the investigation into possibly mailed material, the FBI was present during the interview of this witness and is continuing to probe.

"This witness has some baggage," the source said. "The Feds are going to need to corroborate what he says. But he is adamant that he is telling the truth. And that raises questions about why he didn't report what he saw at the time.

"Unfortunately he's not the only person involved in this who didn't do the right thing when they should have."

The child sexual abuse scandal destroyed the reputation and legacy of Penn State football head coach Joe Paterno, led to the conviction of former coach Sandusky on 45 sexual abuse charges and severe NCAA sanctions against the university.

But the worst may be still ahead.

"If the Feds can prove what this witness is saying then a sickening situation just got worse," the source said. "The witness does not know who the boys are and if they were from Sandusky's Second Mile charity. He can prove his tie to the booster but the Feds are going to have to prove the rest."

Jerry Sandusky Found Guilty!

Both the FBI and the U.S. Postal Investigators have declined to comment to RadarOnline.com on the investigation.

The witness has also refused to comment and his former attorney told Radar that he would not comment about a client.

But RadarOnline com has obtained documents that financially tie the witness to the booster. Those documents show a significant and tangled relationship between the two men.

Stay with RadarOnline.com for the latest exclusive details on this developing story.

 

[futuremd]

While the burden of proof lies on me, people have been implicating this Pedo Ring since the case broke. I just have a gut feeling. 

There IS something going on here and it goes VERY high up. I'd bet heavily on it.

Joe Paterno's Last Season
A preview of GQ's forthcoming book excerpt from sportswriter Joe Posnanski's hotly anticipated—and already controversial, even pre-publication—authorized biography of the disgraced Penn State football coach

GQ.com

In the summer of 2011, Penn State football coach Joe Paterno allowed the journalist Joe Posnanski, then a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, to join him in State College, Pennsylvania, to spend the upcoming season writing his biography. This afforded Posnanski access to Paterno and his inner circle as the Jerry Sandusky scandal engulfed the campus and the nation. The September 2012 issue of GQ, on newsstands now, features an exclusive excerpt of Posnanski's biography, Paterno. The full excerpt will be published here on GQ.com on Monday, August 20. Paterno will be available in bookstores the next day. As a preview, here are three brief selections from GQ's excerpt:

Paterno's son, Scott, reads the grand jury case against Sandusky for the first time:

Scott Paterno was the first in the family to understand that the Pennsylvania grand jury presentment that indicted Jerry Sandusky could end his father's career. This wasn't surprising; Scott tended to be the most realistic—or cynical, depending on who you asked—in the family. He had run for Congress and lost and along the way tasted the allure and nastiness of public life. He had worked as a lawyer and as a lobbyist. He would sometimes tell people, "Hey, don't kid yourself, I'm the ******* of the family." When Scott read the presentment, he called his father and said, "Dad, you have to face the possibility that you will never coach another game."

As the Sandusky scandal explodes, the Paterno family hires a high-powered PR specialist, Dan McGinn, to help navigate the storm:

This is when McGinn learned just how far Paterno's influence and reputation had fallen. He asked [family adviser Guido] D'Elia for the name of one person on the Penn State board of trustees, just one, whom they could reach out to, to negotiate a gracious ending. D'Elia shook his head.

"One person on the board, that's all we need," McGinn said.

D'Elia shook his head again. "It began in 2004," he whispered, referring to an old clash Paterno had with [university president Graham] Spanier. "The board started to turn. We don't have anybody on the board now."

That's when McGinn realized that this was going to be the worst day of Joe Paterno's professional life.

At Paterno's house the day after he is fired via late-night telephone call from the Penn State board of trustees:

On Thursday, Paterno met with his coaches at his house. He sobbed uncontrollably. This was his bad day. Later, one of his former captains, Brandon Short, stopped by the house. When Brandon asked, "How are you doing, Coach?" Paterno answered, "I'm okay," but the last syllable was shaky, muffled by crying, and then he broke down and said, "I don't know what I'm going to do with myself." Nobody knew how to handle such emotion. Joe had always seemed invulnerable. On Thursday, though, he cried continually.

"My name," he told Jay, "I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone."

Ex-PSU prez's lawyers to rebut report

Attorneys for Penn State's ousted president say they have been making plans to rebut what they view as inaccuracies in a school-sanctioned report that concluded he concealed child sex-abuse allegations.

Graham Spanier's lawyer had told The Associated Press that the legal team intended to meet with reporters in Philadelphia early next week. Peter Vaira now says there won't be a news conference next week, but says one may be scheduled in the future.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh was hired by Penn State's board of trustees to investigate the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The former assistant football coach was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys.

Freeh says Spanier and other officials buried an allegation against Sandusky to protect Penn State from bad publicity.

Spanier isn't charged with a crime and remains a tenured Penn State faculty member. He's on sabbatical until December.

Jerry Sandusky Writing Second Book In Prison

Wjactv.com

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Years before child sex abuse charges were filed against Jerry Sandusky, he wrote a book called “Touched,” a story about his life.

Now, weeks before Sandusky’s sentencing date on 45 child sex abuse charges, sources confirm to 6 News reporter Gary Sinderson that Sandusky is working on a second book while he is incarcerated.

Centre County prison officials said Sandusky was removed from suicide watch and has been described as a model inmate, spending hours quietly in his cell.

Sources told 6 News at first, it was believed Sandusky was writing his version of events that he wants to read at his sentencing.

Now, those sources said Sandusky is apparently working on writing a second book, and doing so with the help of his wife, Dottie.

Sources said there has been so much paperwork exchanged between Jerry and Dottie, that Dottie has had her written correspondence privileges suspended by prison officials.

That book :x

It'd be a damn shame if someone bought it.

"Joe Pa cried all day after he was fired"

I don't give a ****.. I will still feel ZERO sympathy for him or anyone involved

Former Pennsylvania State University President Graham Spanier will be charged with perjury, endangering the welfare of children and obstruction of justice in relation to the Pennsylvania attorney general's investigation into former football coach Jerry Sandusky, according to a court document.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly was scheduled to hold an afternoon press conference in Harrisburg. A spokesman for her office declined to provide specifics on the announcement.

Mr. Spanier faces eight criminal counts, including perjury and endangering the welfare of children, which are felonies, according to a docket sheet on a Pennsylvania Courts website.

A lawyer for Mr. Spanier couldn't immediately be reached to comment.

It is nearly a year to the day that Ms. Kelly unleashed a media firestorm by announcing that she was charging Mr. Sandusky, a nationally known former Penn State coach, with sexually abusing a group of young boys over a 15-year period on Penn State's campus and elsewhere.

In the ensuing scandal, Penn State's board ousted Mr. Spanier and longtime football coach Joe Paterno days after a grand-jury report detailing allegations of abuse by Mr. Sandusky was released Nov. 5. Mr. Spanier hadn't previously been charged in the matter. Mr. Paterno died in January.

In June, Mr. Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts related to child sex abuse, and he was sentenced in October to 30 to 60 years in state prison. His lawyers plan to appeal.

A report issued in July by former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh found that Mr. Spanier had agreed with former Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Senior Vice President of Business Gary Schultz, as well as Mr. Paterno, not to report to police an alleged 2001 incident of abuse involving Mr. Sandusky with a youth in a Penn State shower.

Mr. Spanier's lawyers released a report in August criticizing the Freeh investigation. Former Federal Judge Timothy Lewis, who represents Mr. Spanier, called the Freeh report a "blundering and indefensible indictment" and "a myth" as it pertained to Mr. Spanier.

Penn State disgusts me I hope lose every game next year

Unpopular opinion: Joe Paterno got a raw deal, I'm fine with statue.

You support this?

Paterno has admitted he should have done more to stop that physical and psychological suffering outlined in brutal detail in the grand jury's report. It wasn't much of a concession, given that in 2002, he received an eyewitness account of a naked Sandusky in the showers with a naked boy -- the witness, Mike McQueary, later would testify the former defensive coordinator was forcing anal intercourse on the child -- and yet Paterno chose to do next to nothing about it.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

You support this?

Look I'm going to preface this is my opinion, and I get why some are inclined to disagree, and I don't have air tight evidence but to me it comes down to this:


I don't believe McQuerry,

I don't believe he explained to Joe Paterno what actually went on in that shower, I don't belive at the end of Mcquery's meeting Joe Paterno came away with the understanding that he analy raped a child in a shower.


I think an old man, with a limited understanding of molestation, was presented with a hazy unclear story from second hand source about an employee who no longer worked for him, he then followed protol and sent it up to his surpiror Tim Curly or whoever.


Could he have done more?

Maybe, but child molesters don't get to child molesters by easy to spot or catch, they build massive campaigns of dis information to hind their activities. People were looking for a scape goat, IMO Paterno isn't it.

It was trollish of me to say I "support" it.

But I think Paterno got a raw deal and a level of blame and disgrace completely disproportionate to what he actually did.

 

[mr marcus]

 @ you saying he had a limited understanding of molestation like this is some new sick activity.
