Well, it'll cover his entire life. So yeah, a lot of it will talk about the good things he has done in the distant past.

I don't expect the book to pass judgment on his overall legacy. Only to report what he knows to be fact. If a significant amount of book is not dedicated to this scandal, then I will be extremely disappointed because it is an instrumental part of his life. Since the case is still active and more information is still being revealed, I don't expect a whole lot of detail.

The duty to report in PA might not apply to 2d Mile, and in any event looks to be just a misdemeanor. Doubt they'll waste resources on it.

I do not believe this to be the case.

Not hired. He was authorized by Paterno to write it, which makes it an official biography.

Quote:

The book also indicates Paterno didn't comprehend all the terms in the report, asking his son what sodomy meant.

I want some credit for titling the thread 'Penn State covers up for a pedophile' from Day 1.

"Oh, so it's like analingus, but with your thingy' Joe said, after hearing his son's response.

'Ah okay, when I was at Brown, we called that 'Going down to Woonsocket'', Joe explained

A real Internet hero

bdidd is soooo mad.

just switch teams bro. you don't have to be sooooooo mad all the time. root for the high school you went to. root for the steelers.

b/c it's soooo funny how maaaaaad you are. like someone kicked your puppy. hahahahaaaaa

lol @ u.

doesn't even matter what you say back to me because you're bdidd, the guy who gets mad that people are mad about institutionalized child rape.

lol @ u.

I once watched a documentary about North Korea. They went to a house where the grandmother went blind years ago. She said the worst part about her blindness is that she would never be able to see the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il and properly thank him for allowing her to have happiness.

I wonder if bdidd feels like he disappointed his family and the Dear Leader JoePa by not attending Penn State.


At least you only made a fool of yourself on an online message board. This guy hurt his wallet and skin for his love of a school he never attended.

I'm a medium and will channel Joe Pa from the grave...

Wait. What went into what? That is seriously ****ing possible? Sue told me that wasn't ****ing possible! I was married to that bitch for how long and she wouldn't let me put it in there! I brought it up over and over for 50 ****ing years! You are telling me Sandusky stuck it in a bunch of kids and my wife convinced me it wouldn't fit in her stretched out ass?

.

oh he's maaaaaaad he didn't. it probably makes him feel like less of a man. and now he has to defend the rapers and raper-coverers and raper-nothing-going-on-here's.

it's pretty sad actually. i mean, think about it. how SAD is bdidd when you actually think about it?

poor bdidd.

Lol

Joe Paterno 'Despised' Sandusky Long Before Sex Scandal, New Book Claims

hmm...maybe the book will say paterno hated the guy because he raped children. still a despicable person, but only slightly less despicable!

good start. good start

Classic PSU

Sandusky also didn't drink as much as the Paternos did.

Reviews for Pos' book are out. Sounds pretty lame.

What an *******.

Pos on his book: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/colle...rno/57081354/1

Wrong. Paterno was obviously either a charlatan all along or got completely corruptedby power decades ago (and thus never really a paragon of strength and virtue to begin with).

I love Posnanski, but much of The Soul of Baseball, his book on Buck O'Neil, seemed smoothed over and fictionalized. I think it's fine to tell tall tales about a likable guy, especially as much of that man's life is undocumented. But these ridiculous anecdotes for Paterno...don't really work so well. The Atlantic also had a review that essentially accused Posnanski of making things up, which unfortunately wouldn't surprise me.

Joe Paterno: Caring about the integrity of all-you-can-eat salads more than the integrity of kids' buttholes

New Yorker interviews former Pedo State Pres Graham Spanier:

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blog...y-scandal.html

I bought the book. Will give you a review once I finish it.

This book is quite frustrating. I'm only through 25% of the book, but a lot of it is anecdotal and pretty much endlessly praises the guy. Any negatives are either spun into positives or are barely mentioned. His penchant for profanity and temper tantrums early in his career is spun into being very passionate. His lack of presence at home is construed as being devoted to his employer and job. I really haven't learned anything that I didn't already know. At the moment, they've only briefly alluded to the scandal and have mentioned Jerry Sandusky once in a paragraph unrelated to the scandal. So, I can't say much about that is covered.

There are some real gems in this book though. I read this and just marvel at the hypocrisy that Joe showed in his last days:

Apparently, one step higher than the right thing is just to tell Gary Schultz and Tim Curley about child rape and ignore it otherwise. Way to practice what you preach.

I just read the page of the book about the all-you-can-eat restaurant and LOL'd after reading your post.

I am sure Posnanski was given Joe's approval because of the type of book they thought he would write. He wrote a bunch of stuff and then the scandal broke. At that point there isn't any real way he can write the real story and still keep the Paternos happy. This story needs an investigative journalist treatment. That's not really Posnanski's thing.
