Penn State Covers Up For a Pedophile: The Cult is Alive and Well - Page 202 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

It's not about Bradley being involved. It's about having to clean house. Some innocent heads may very well roll. But if the school is to move forward, the whole staff needs to be turned over.

Also, it's been a real pleasure reading shemp's posts. Just great stuff.

What you keep failing to realize is that allowing the university, through its athletic department which strongly appears to have condoned child rape over a long period of time within its ranks, to escape without strong punitive action is a tacit acknowledgement that they are not at fault.

The board fires Paterno. Bradley is named interim coach and says Joe was like a father to him and is a great man during his presser.

Poster suggests that Bradley won't make it to the end of the season because he is saying something publicly which is contrary to the position of the board. I query whether this means that the board wants to make Joe out to be a terrible person.

I need to stop posting? Got it.

lol, ESPN actually ran a piece in one of their CFB blogs early this week about how the scandal will effect PSU recruiting

I fail to see what's wrong with this at all.

Because they did this before they did anything else? Like the first thought was... wow a child rape cover-up scandal that goes to the highest levels of Penn State... wonder how this will impact recruiting.

ESPN employs like a zillion people, not all of which are responsible for talking on air or writing editorial pieces on things like this.

In the scheme of things its just a minor facepalm compared to all the other missteps.

Tom Bradley, with his comments, seems to be indicating that he's lost that same perspective.

Now, that said, it's a one-off comment from someone who knew Paterno pretty well -- but if it continues? Yeah, I think it's completely fair to say that he'd need to go too.

Even Sandusky! (too soon?)

No way, though, because the person with the actual information wasn't Paterno, it was McQueary, and either nobody thought to ask him competent questions, or they deliberately covered it up (hint: it was the second option).

Judge Fuchs posting is disgusting and shameful. We get it, you're unable to think objectively and have deep biases that affect your judgement about this matter.

It was a "body of work" decision. I'll drop it though.

Still waiting on Joe Paterno to address the media, which he was so anxious to address on Tuesday (72 hours ago) prior to having his press conference canceled against his will...

I'm going to harness myself to the "lawyered up and was told to shut the **** up" limb.
