Penn State Covers Up For a Pedophile: The Cult is Alive and Well - Page 54 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Oski has some kind of psychosis where he likes to pick an untenable position and argue it horrifically far beyond all conceivable boundaries of human comprehension. I have no idea what's wrong with Dids on this one.

Dids did you listen to the whole interview with Kim Brown? There is basically zero chance JoePa didn't know about the 1998 incident. Which means he knew of at bare minimum 2 incidents of Sandusky abusing young boys, and still did the absolute bare minimum to stop it, and still allowed Sandusky to bring a young boy to a closed practice. Obviously he was more worried about his legacy than children having their lives ruined. Completely indefensible.

It's a standing, weekly press conference, isn't it? Most coaches have these.

there's a pretty clear dichotomy between dids and oski imo.

Dids' arguments at least have some sort of logical basis behind them.

oski is just... special or trolling. im not sure which.

Seriously. We get it you guys. You can envision certain scenarios where Paterno (no more JoePa) is either just dumb, ignorant, or hand tied. You're both really smart and see things from all perspectives and reach interesting conclusions.

Now just shut the **** up about it.

I have never met anyone IRL or online who is as madly in love with the sound of their own voice as you. And that includes MicroBob, the previous title holder, whom I would have bet 100-1 would never be dethroned. Congrats dude.

Penn State has people employed specifically to deal with situations like this. It's not on the football coach to investigate a situation, it's their job to inform the appropriate individuals.

the fact that SE (minus dids and trollski) is in near unison on this topic should tell you just how damning the evidence really is

I was about to post that I didn't think this press conference was going to happen. There is no way that old man was going to be able to handle the (justifiably) hungry wolves right now.

At this point I would not be surprised if he is gone by Saturday.

as someone who has expressed anti oski sentiments before, i think oski is doing fine work itt. he should probably back off a bit, but he's made several jokes and provided legal clarification.

ESPN just showed HUNDREDS of reporters waiting for JoePa's press conference.. Do they really think this is going to go away?

It isn't going to go away, but there's no way in hell Penn State's lawyers are going to let him answer questions from the media

Yeah, the biggest PR mistake was not canceling it immediately

"Penn State football coach Joe Paterno says he's disappointed university President Graham Spanier has canceled the team's weekly press conference, without explanation, this morning. The press conference was supposed to begin in an hour, at 12:30 p.m., and Spanier canceled it without conferring with the coach, Paterno said."

also ESPN just reported a 9th victim has just come forward...
