re: ESPN has a LONG story on Penn state player in 70s

Uhhh yeah give me 2 days and I'll try and find where he is. There was no second call on that Sunday. Hodne turns himself in on Monday, then
It was 1978. you can't just go track him on his iphone. If someone didn't want to be found, it wasn't that hard to disappear for a little while.
and it sounds like he was successful in finding him considering the shithead turned himself in.
i actually read the whole article, which was really long so i dont' expect many to read it all.
I didn't come away thinking anythign negative of Paterno. If anything he came off good in that all of his players were more scared of him than the cops and he handed out punishment to anyone who broke the law.
I think it was clear the writer of the article wanted to do everything he could to paint him in a negative light.
more importantly, the PSU lawyer, Bob Mitinger, that represented Hodne the first time, and the judge, Richard Sharp, that let him go free after being unanimously found guilty until he was to be sentenced deserves to rot in hell. This piece of shite went on a raping pillage over the next 3 months after he was just found guilty of rape, and accused of 4 others.
Then this:
quote:
SEVEN YEARS after Todd Hodne went to prison—three years in Pennsylvania for the rape of Betsy Sailor and four in New York for the serial crimes on Long Island—Francis Quigley wrote a letter. He was the Nassau prosecutor who put Hodne away. He had heard with the arrival of the new year, 1986, that Hodne was under consideration for parole and so wrote to the senior parole officer of the Eastern New York Correctional Facility in Napanoch and said that "the Nassau County District Attorney strongly opposes any release of inmate Todd S. Hodne. I am convinced that to release Todd Hodne will be to subject the community to a severe risk that Hodne will again victimize innocent women with rape, assault and the possibility of serious injury and death.
Of course he was released, and went on to rape more women, be a drug addict, and eventually murder an innocent father of 4 kids under 7 who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hodne ruined the lives of many people in his life. Him dying of cancer/covid or whatever was too nice. Someone should have stuck a white hot piece of rebar up his arse extremely slowly and left him tied up in the woods with maggots left by so they could eat away at him. They should return to him every other day to make sure he doesn't die of dehydration, and do that until he dies of starvation or infection.

Actually had some time this morning to read a good chunk of this article. Absolutley nuts. frick Penn State, and everything about that place. Are people just allowed to go around killing people and raping people up there? Joe Paterno is a scum bag piece of shite.
Are you sure you read the article? I know Penn State has only themselves to blame for the public stigma they created, but in this case, the guy got kicked off the team, arrested, and convicted in short order. The guy was a psychopath but he didn't kill anyone while affiliated with Penn State, so what are you talking about when you say people wer allowed to go killing people up there? That happened in Long Island and you can blame the parole board for that one.
Re: Paterno, Paterno doesn't necessarily come off looking great here but the author's attempts to blame him are tenuous at best. He did the right thing by telling his player that Hodne was guilty, and if he testified for the defense he'd be off the team (and then following up by kicking the guy off the team when he did testify). Then the article weirdly implies Paterno obstructed justice by doing so. And was it just me or did the author also weirdly imply that Paterno (rightly) kicking Hodne off the team caused him to go on a rampage? Paterno's biggest failure here was trying to do PR damage control about Hodne rather than public acknowledgement, which is a fault, but it's far secondary to the failure of the justice system once Hodne was convicted for the first rape. That judge Sharp, the parole board, and Hodne's high school coach are the chief culprits and enablers here.

And does so with zero facts or anything, in fact all the facts she provides in the article point to the opposite
Only someone extremely gullible, or just as big a bias as the writer, comes away with this one particular incident being a stain on Paterno
The journalist interview with Karen where she is basically forcing words and thoughts into her is sad and pathetic
i agree with all of this.
Kind of irritating how the article did that as well, as that is not what should have been the focus of this extremely long article.

Sorry, ESPN is part of msm and will push whichever narrative they wish.
I clicked an article about Haskins and got this message:
“We're changing our name! The Undefeated is now andscape
Where Blackness is infinite“
Here is one sentence from the article.
“He seemed to want so much more out of his young career, though professionally that career may have been sabotaged before it began.”
The author then goes on to blame the coach for his failure in Washington.
I stopped reading after that.
Unfortunately, ESPN has a monopoly on college football, so I do watch games, but haven’t watched news in many years. Don’t trust any of their reporting as unbiased.
ESPN = CNN

Long read, but it was well worth it.
Also Irv Pankey, the OT, was/is a guardian angel.
For him to do what he did as a student/athlete was admirable.

I read the entire article. I had time to spare this morning and it took me awhile. Sticking up for Joe Pa probably not your best look. Sure he’s not the main culprit of the article, but I’m not sure how you could have read that and say Paterno doesn’t come across as a piece of shite in it. Like he is. He wasn’t covering something up this time, but he may as well have let his guys do whatever they pleased.

The guy is arrested for rape and is gone from the university. Are you of the impression Joe Pa is God and could have prevented this? The players are free to do whatever they please. All joe pa can do is suspend them or kick them off the team based on their choices,, and the article actually gives you multiple examples of him doing so for various players

With Sandusky, joe pa knew a man was a rapist, and turned a blind eye and allowed the man to stay around and be involved in child service areas. This article and the incidents discussed in the article show nothing similar at all.

there's no need to stick up for him, or even really include him in the article at all, and the only reason the writer did was to get more clicks. This story has about 1% to do with Paterno and it's rather insignificant to the main story.
Bad mouth the piece of shite lawyer, the judge, and the parole board. They are the accessories to rape and murder, not Paterno.

Yea, it’s less any sort of sympathy for paterno, more so calling out an agenda driven, hack writers trying to get clicks. Case in point: Instead of criticizing Capozzoli for testifying on the behalf of a guy he should have known was a rapist and psychopath, the writers instead borderline sympathize with him for getting kicked off the team , after he was warned to not testify for the defense of a guy who was guilty as sin, and seem to agree with him it was unfair that penn state kicked his arse to the curb. Seriously, what the frick is wrong with these writers:
quote:
Capozzoli recalls that Paterno didn't mince words. "So right off the bat, he says, 'Todd Hodne is guilty, and if you testify for him, you're off the team,'" Capozzoli says. "So I said, 'Look, Joe'—I laughed at him. I said, 'The guy's got a million girlfriends. Maybe he dumped her and she got mad.' I said, 'I'm just going to tell the truth.' I never took what he said to heart. I testified and went home for a few days, and when I get back, my room key doesn't work. All my s--- is gone; somebody moved it. I've been moved down to this place we called the barracks, in the basement of the gym. He goes, 'You still have your scholarship; you can go to school. But you're off the team.' Isn't that, like, jury tampering? Isn't that a criminal act? But there's no recourse. What are you gonna do?"

What happened to Joe Pa statue after they took it down? Was it destroyed?

How Penn State athletics is still an ongoing thing just blows my mind. The entire Penn State athletics department needs to be shut down for a decade then reopen with entirely new leadership.
So we punish kids in the 2020s not to mention destroy many other livelihoods over something that happened in the 1970s? How many leaders at Penn St now you figure were there in the 70s?
You punish the guilty you do not destroy entire institutions well after the fact, that’s absurd.
By your standards shouldn’t the entire Catholic Church have been disbanded?

Glad someone pointed out the Capozzoli story. There was a lot of unnecessary spin like that added to the article to simply criticize Paterno further. Honestly, the writers would have had a more effective story by staying focused on Hodne and his victims.
We can all agree Paterno was a scumbag, but Hodne was monstrous enough on his own for this story. I actually thought it was in poor taste by the writers to end it with a rambling letter from Sandusky about not really remembering Hodne.

Who was a serial rapist
That was probably pretty common in football factories across the nation in the doped out no oversight 70's. Shite, every school would pimp out their coeds to for orientation sex to attract recruits.
