Penn St's AD Tim Curley charge with perjury: sex abuse

[CNS]

Lets me clarify something.  Posnanski was writing a book about Paterno right now, and he's getting access to him for a fluff piece.  Then all this crap came down.  He's getting an amazing opportunity to do some real journalism.  I'm not sure if Posnanski is up to it.  He'll need to re-evaluate what he's doing.  

Best biz move would be to write two books now.  The good and the bad.  Then everyone would buy.

Also, he needs to publish it like, tomorrow.

[nicname]

Yeah, really Hope JoePo really digs in for some in-depth reporting of this deal involving Sandusky, PSU and JoePa. I would def. read.

People asking why McQueary has a job, it's almost assuredly because he was the "whistle blower" on this thing. If they fire him, he can sue.

BSAC confirm?

the POS should never coach again. This is a joke.

Not BSAC but can confirm that whistle blowers are protected, although I'm not sure that would apply here.  Even if it did the cash settlement would be worth the cost of letting him go, they have to white wash that program.

why?  (this isn't because i knew him at one point)

This isn't a football issue.  It's a horrible set of events that happened around football, but it's not a football issue. 

A football coach molesting children caught by a football coaching assistant in a football complex covered up by the football teams administration.

Yup, not a football issue. You are totally right OK cat.

Who will play JoePa in the movie?  I vote Mark Paul-Gossllaaalaaaarrr.

Not a football issue, dumbass.  Do you think the football team will face NCAA sanctions?  No.  The key figures are on the football staff, but it's not a story about football and never has been.

Another question would be how long have the BoR known about all of this?

Robert Denerio is the only one who could do it.

Justin Bieber as the kid from 2002?

Would it apply here, though?  I mean, he didn't blow the whistle on something the Ath Dept or School was doing.  It was an individual's actions that weren't related to the school. 

Honest Q.  Not a lawyer.

Yup. Totally right there OK cat. It's definitely not a football issue. That's why the head football coach was fired, because it's such a non-football issue.

Dumbass.

It's a football issue in the respect that the head coach needed to be fired. Of course there won't be NCAA sanctions. Nobody is saying there should be.

JoPa is also a lifelong idol of Posnanski's, I can understand his conflicting emotions right now.

Which is why there were riots and protests last night.  The general public and the media goons wanted blood, and the board of trustees buckled.  If people really cared about this story, they'd be more worried about forming angry mobs and finding sandusky.  You know, the real criminal.

[theKSU]

Definitely Leo DiCaprio

[theKSU]

OK_Cat if you think people need pitchforks to go after Sandusky, you clearly aren't comprehending the story. 

[michigancat]

The thing that pisses me off about the general public in all of this is that people use knee-jerk reactions to jump to conclusions. 

the thing that pisses me off is the anal rape of a 10 year old. but that's just me.

Those "riots" and "protests" were Penn State students Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Who were so loyal to JoePa they didn't want him fired. They were a little biased, no?

Your buddy doesn't deserve to coach because he is a piece of crap and can never be trusted to do the right thing. It's pretty simple, regardless of whether this is a "football issue" or not.

But go ahead, keep being edgy and disagreeing with everyone else for the sake of edginess.

[mocat]

Don't worry OK_cat, Sandusky will get what is coming to him. He is allegedly responsible for a long history of horrible, horrible things. But the people who knew about it happening, and continued to facilitate the monster is the real crime, imo

[06wildcat]

There are two JoPa scenarios here:

1. He knew and was complicit in covering for Sandusky.

2. He didn't know anything about it.

Both are grounds for termination. And No. 2 is really, really hard to believe. I suppose it's possible though incredibly unlikely.

Not being edgy, moron.  I disagree with you because I can step back from the situation and see the big picture.  You're so hell-bent on everyone who knew sandusky to be burned at the stake that you aren't making any sense.  What about the janitors?  You haven't said anything about how they should never be allowed to be janitors ever again.

If they saw it, and didn't tell the police, are they not complicit?  Accessories after the fact? Low legal IQ here, but shouldn't they be prosecuted?

[mocat]

the janitors should be fired too!!!
