Penn State Covers Up For a Pedophile: The Cult is Alive and Well - Page 53 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

*** Penn state, and *** Joe PA. They gave my dad a full ride in the late 70s to play quarterback. They came to visit him at school and he skipped that day ( to get stoned obv) and they revoked the scholarship. Ended up at poop rutgers instead. I hate Penn state and this news is despicable. Hope they rot in jail nittnany boy fckers

Yeah, **** them for not wanting a kid that skips school to smoke pot.

Oh and this 12:20 Press Conference with JoePedoAssister is going to be epic.

What I took issue with were people's rather absolute assumptions about what must have happened based on little evidence. I pointed out that there are some possible situations where what we heard from JoePA made sense and he wasn't a horrible monster. I still think that given what we knew at the time, there was evidence to support those possible explanations.

People acting like I was attempting to defend JoePa, or that I was being naive about what happened, both miss the point- which is mostly about not forming rigid points of view based only on assumptions about how people will act in a given situation.

Well, you were and are wrong. Not much else to say on it.

lol at your Dad for being too immature to show up when Penn State was showing up to see him. LOLOL. Then apparently failed at Rutgers? Penn State got that decision right, at least.

Is Paterno's press conference being carried/shown? Does anyone have a link? I believe it starts around 12:20.

Because it's not a minor goddamn point, okay!

The goddamn University basically told the fooball team that they had no goddamn control over Sandusky.

That means that in order to do something, it would have to turn into Joe versus the Volcano. There would be no turn around point and Joe would be at odds with "his" University.

That is not nitting it up.

I could have mentioned something about how you made the same arguments that had been made 50 times in the thread when you decided to parachute in, and I could have mentioned that you were doing the same knew-jerk dance as you did in the Notre Dame-Kelly thread ... but, I didn't.

So reverse course and discontinue your steady and intended ambulation towards this bro.

That is true. But, then again, if I'm sitting around reminiscing about football coaches, I don't necessarily have to bring his name up.

It's even more ridiculous because you are making this argument after it has already played out as not the case.

Deal with it.

When did Joe revoke Sandusky's emeritus status? I must have missed that.

That's the gross thing. Everyone is going to close ranks for the best interest of the school, themselves and each other. Those interests can and will supercede the interests of all the kids that were raped and their right to justice.

Yup. Yesterday psu held a meeting with all coaches associated with the university and told them to keep quiet and defend paterno at all costs.
