Wow, that Carton guy is your typical "I'll shout anyone down who disagrees with me" sports radio guy. Yes, he was mostly right, but there is a way of disagreeing with someone without telling them that they are stupid and yelling at them like that.
He is. Can usually be very over the top, and I think he was acting like a doosh.
Given that the NCAA is investigating, I think it's plausible that at some point they'll give a free transfer to the players on Penn State. May not be right away though (and of course may not happen at all).-QG
So absolutely perfect.That girl is a dead ringer for every single PSU grad I've ever met. They're totally delusional.
Yes it was given a number 24and he was seen at a Foot Lockerin the State of Arkansas

I'll bet I know more PSU grads than you do and the vast majority of us support the firing of Paterno.. now go back to your broad brush hating
Most of those that I know are younger and still pretty tied to the school, (most in their mid-late 20's) so I'm sure that's a factor. But I was honestly disgusted at some of the stuff I saw on facebook this week from my friends that are PSU alums. Totally head in the sand JoePa can do no wrong brainwashing. You would have thought he was actually their father or something. A whole lot of "We don't know all the facts yet", "He has done so much for the school" with just the right dose of "We need to move on from this and beat Nebraska" sprinkled in.
Patriot-News Special Report coming Monday: Inside the Jerry Sandusky investigation - why it took so longPublished: Sunday, November 13, 2011, 2:30 PMBy The Patriot-News Since former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky was indicted on 40 counts related to child sex abuse - after the initial shock at the allegations of eight victims as young as seven years old - one of the most frequent questions has been: Why did the investigation take so long?On Monday, Patriot-News reporter Sara Ganim provides the answers, based on sources close to the investigation and official records. The bottom line: a complex probe involving finding multiple potential victims and witnesses, and reviewing thousands of pages of documents, can easily take three years. But THIS one probably did not have tn Friday, Ganim provided the most detailed picture to date of missed - and dismissed - chances to investigate Sandusky dating as far back as 1995.
Is there a link to the article, because the excerpt you cut makes absolutely no sense.What evidence is there of the bolded statement?
headline says the article comes out on Monday so I assume it will make more sense then.
If this had happened to Dean Smith when I was in school, I can't say I wouldn't have reacted like alot of PSU students*.Maybe it doesn't make sense and it certainly isn't a good thing, but the hero worship on campus with these legendary coaches is probably quite normal. You grow up in the state, spending your entire life hearing what a wonderful man he is. You can't expect irrational college kids to react rationally to the sudden fall of a hero.I'm sure it'd be the same if were Coach K, Bowden, or any other longtime beloved coach.Silly hypothetical though, as there's no way this would've ever happened with Dean Smith.

This.
That won't end well
In all seriousness can this guy get a fair trial? Seems like this circus is going to have to find another city.
No kidding. It's like this is out of a movie script. Where the police, judges, university, etc are all in bed together. All we need now is Rowdy Roddy Piper to stroll into town to clean **** up.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ###...and I'm all out of bubblegum.
Un####ingreal.
Not a chance they can do this in Central PA.
Great movie.
Somewhere around the Pittsburgh/Philadelphia area would be great!
"another" poster used machete just a little while ago in another thread. Strange
Nothing yet. Hoping that it's not true.eta: even if not, that organization needs serious investigation if not dissolution.
@SPORTSbyBROOKS tweeted about this the night before Madden talked about it. I think Madden was repeating his tweet rumor.
Pretty interesting his story on this matter back in April. http://www.nesn.com/2011/11/jerry-sandusky-rumored-to-have-been-pimping-out-young-boys-to-rich-donors-says-mark-madden.html Scroll down to the bottom to see the initial reaction of people.
http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/the_citadel_reviews_molestatio.html'>My linkCross, I hope you show the same enthusiam against the Citidel president.. looks like he looked the other way as well..
I was reading about that case earlier. The folks at The Citadel clearly dropped the ball.But you really aren't suggesting that these two cases are comparable, are you?
only the part where a high ranking official at a college looked the other way when presented with child molestation charges.. imagine if the Citidel president acted when he fisrt heard about it.. how many molestations could have been prevented???
Dude...
Citadel president looked the other way in the face of evidence, no?
Thanks. I've stated some of the reasons for my passion about this subject earlier in this thread. Although as long as this thread is, I can understand how people would have missed that.I've actually seen sexual abuse of children affect my wife's family. Won't go into details, other than my wife wasn't directly affected. And yes, I've spoken to far too many people in my role as pastor who have revealed sexual abuse at the hands of fathers, uncles, brothers, family friends, etc. while they were children. And I can tell you that in most cases it is something that follows people for the rest of their lives.It's easily the most under reported crime in the US. And somehow we need to change the culture that leads to it being covered up as much as it is.'proninja said:
Your defense of Penn State in these threads is getting creepy. If you don't understand why this is such a big scandal or why Penn State is under extreme scrutiny right now, you can't see the forest through the trees.
Stop and think about what you're trying to compare here. Please?
Actually, great posting.
