Jerry Sandusky accused of child molestation (4 Viewers)

[pantherclub]

After a few days to stew on this I have come up with a theory. You have to think that the Penn St showers that he used was never totally deserted. Trainers, janitors, GA's etc. Why was it that Sandusky felt like he had free reign in there even after getting caught at least once? Why was he so open about it in a "public" shower? Seems to me that multiple people had to know about this including Paterno. Why did Joepa allow this to continue? Lots of unanswered questions here.

Any speculation on what will happen?My speculation based on nothing is that they hired a new president today. That president will be charged with axing Paterno before the weekend. Again this is based on nothing.

I dont know man, you would think at some point a rational grown up adult would point out what the rest of the country sees.

rumor is that one BOT member was heard saying "at least we made the right decision" when leaving the meeting.

When they announced they were forming a committee to deal with the child rape issue, it showed me that they were part of the problem and to not expect them to do the right thing.

I agree 100%, but at some point one of them has to step away from Happy Valley and see what is going on. Take the blinders off per se.

We will find out in 30 minutes. Paterno and McQueary need to go. Anyone else involved need to go.

 

[Big_Russel]

Sad that Joe Paterno's legacy will always have protector of child rapist attached to it.

It's not sad at all... you reap what you sow.

 

[pantherclub]

Other sites are saying "involuntary leave" starting immediately for JoePa.

Now hopefully he will have his presser to answer questions.

But you don't understand he followed the "protocol" so everything is fine. If there is one word that irritates me more in this whole debate it is that word. Listen to Lavaar Arrington on his radio show and that is his whole argument in defending Paterno that he followed the protocol that is involved with this situation so technically he did all that he needed to do. Which is correct but if emotions and morality played no part in this. The other thing is if you are going to play the "protocol" card then McQueary did the exact same thing. He saw the kid getting raped by Sandusky and reported it to Paterno who reported it to the athletic director. But nobody is giving McQueary the benefit of the doubt that Paterno did.

Believe or not I never really took Levar Arrington to be a really rational thinker. He never came across as sharp to me.

 

[teamramrod]

I am on Espn News and they will have the presser.

peace

 

[pantherclub]

Bradley as head coach.

Is he not involved in this mess as well?

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

I think Joe Pa came out with the announcement that he will retire at the end of the season to make it harder for the BoT to remove him this week...one last power play if you will.I am actually somewhat optimistic that this strategy will fail. Someone stated earlier that the half-dozen or so individuals that knew about these allegations and did nothing need to be gone immediately. If the board has any sense at all this is exactly what is going to happen.We'll know in a few minutes.

Twitter guy saying Spanier resigned and BOT put Paterno on Involuntary Leave. Bradley is interim coach.

 

[YSR]

ABC News in Philly reporting that Paterno is out. Per ESPN Radio.

 

[ICON211]

Not sure if anyone has brought this up...in 2002 Paterno did the bare minimum legally to avoid getting in trouble down the line. Who would even know what the requirements are legally regarding somehting like this. His son is a lawyer. You have to wonder if his son advised him thats all he had to do legally and that was enough for him which would make it worse.

 

[AmosMoses]

Is this getting webcasted anywhere? I don't get ESPNews.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

ESPN news is 6 hours behind the rest of the world. They are discussing his decision to retire at the end of the season.

i dont know, ESPN news isnt carrying, my bad, they are just babbling....peace

 

[YSR]

I'm listening to ESPN Radio online. Just Google ESPN Radio Stream and it will take you to any number of stations. They have said that they are going to break into regular programming to carry the live BOT presser. Tom Bradley is the new HC.

 

[teamramrod]

They are replaying the news conference now on ESPNnews now and yes Paterno is finished as coach. Unfortunately the audio is terrible on questions

I look forward to the videos of "outraged" Penn State students moshing, getting drunk, and singing Paterno songs in protest

 

[Premier]

Gonna be some major riots there tonight.

[Islanders rule]

Press conference with Penn State Board of Trustees to begin shortly.

Wouldn't you think that they (some) of the Board of trustees were aware of this as well.

The Penn State Football program is a disgrace. Especially that A - hole Sandusky. All with knowledge should be fired immediately.

Here's one question about Paterno: If he had full knowledge of the shower incident, how would he of acted if it was one of his children or grandchildren that Sandusky was having rear intercourse with??????????????? in the shower on campus in his locker rooms??

I am disgusted and anyone with the knowledge of what has been taking place their for the last decade should be fired immediatley.

I would not be surprised if we see deaths (suicides) come out of this. I hope not!

I know this is not Fantasy football related, however, it is much, much more important:

1 in 6 boys will be abused by age 16.

1 in 4 girls will be abused by age 14.

THE ABOVE NUMBERS ARE ACCURATE.

jOE pATERNO HAS JUST BEEN FIRED, AS HAS PRESIDENT GRANT SPANYARD. Tom Bradly is now interim head coach at Penn State.

I'm sure he's gone as well.

Fired over the phone....

[Popinski]

Doesn't surprise me. I just didn't see how PSU could let him come out and coach a game on Saturday - just impossible to fathom.

This is really smelling like a LOT of people knew of something.Sandusky did this openly.Not like he had these issues and did his dirt in a different state, or in disguise.The incident where the janitor saw Sandusky giving a kid oral sex in 98 and that janitor apparently told the other janitors...I just feel this is something MANY people heard rumblings about.I think this issue will have many far reaching tentacles with PSU administrators, law enforcement, staff etc...

 

[Mario Kart]

Either clean out the whole place or have more questions to answer.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Too little too late. They did the right thing, but what a ####### mess.

 

[Abstract]

The presser is on ESPNews now.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I guess they didn't listen to Joe when he told them not to waste any time worrying about his status.

 

[hammerva]

Kind of off topic but once again Penn State overshadows Temple. That has to piss off some people watching the game on ESPN

 

[Sea Duck]

I wonder if the team uniforms will have names on the back this week?

 

[jackdubl]

I read that 23 page grand jury indictment. It's online. He SHOULD be fired. President as well. Unfortunately, these guys think more like big CEO's than like fathers or community members. They only cared about protecting their multi-million dollar brand, which meant that no one could know what happened. So they swept it under the rug, which allowed it to continue for another decade.

 

[krista4]

This guy is actually really good at handling the questions.

Notable to me that he said the decision was unanimous.

McQ has got to go. No ####### way he ever sets foot in that stadium on Saturday. Wonder who else is gonna get the boot?

 

[CrossEyed]

PSU at least starting to get it.
