You'd need to add more context...

In terms of like this thread specifically- I think it's likely that a lot of folks's first thoughts were of the kids- but there's not much to say there. It's so obviously horrible you're not going to see a lot of conversation talking about that. The PSU stuff is the more entertaining, less horrifying conversation.

Yeah, that's the spirit!

Plus, the Alabama or Auburn fanbases would stone burn the "alleged" victims homes down as retribution for their obvious being low-down cheating lying supporters of Auburn or Alabama.

well, i guess self righteous delusion isnt endemic to happy valley. heres the thing, this almost always (sometimes whistleblowers emerge and gain the necessary platform and clout) goes down in the same fashion for any entity or organization with a ton at stake.

I took a Sandusky earlier today. It was a 2-flusher.

Re: Penn State Covers Up For a Pedophile: It's Officially Chinatown

I thought I heard it was coming out tomorrow. Doesn't matter, I'm going to devour that **** like I'm a 40 year old mother of three and it is Fifty Shades of Grey the moment it hits. There are some side benefits of being unemployed.

If they make the report "publicly available" via a web site, they better have a lot of servers - or farm it out simultaneously to a multitude of web sites and news outlets. A Thursday morning release makes sense since that coincides with the Penn State BoT's long scheduled meeting.

Interesting that Spanier requested a pre-publication meeting with Mr. Freeh. Looks like his attorneys are already plotting damage control strategy.
