re: Joe Paterno will retire at the end of the season per AP

You're angry at the world because its an emotional issue. Once you take a deep breath and put down your pitchfork, you'll realize that Paterno did exactly what he was supposed to do.

You are a fricking moron. He knew a kid was being fricked in the arse by a 60 year old man in his locker room and did very little about it and certainly wasn't concerned enough to make sure something was done to stop it.

That 60 year old went on to molest other boys he should have and would have never had the opportunity to molest had these people at PSU done even the minimum to address.

He doesn't deserve shite. Even that statue of him needs to come down.

I would be shocked if the entire current coaching didn't know about this. Hard to keep secrets in a close knit group like that.

Paterno has known Sandusky was a molester since at least 1998, and probably long before.

Seems like there is a lot more opinion and a lot less FACT around here lately. I tend to agree with Lester on this. Too much assumption about who knew what.

---

so, JoePa didn't KNOW that child rape investigations don't take 15 years to complete? Or he didn't know that the punishment for them wasn't just barring him from future sleepovers on PSU campus?

FACT - Paterno knew that an old man has sexual contact with a child in the shower of his locker room.
FACT - Paterno did not alert police.
FACT - That old man continued to molest children.
FACT - Paterno knew that nothing had been done to stop the child molester or to punish him for it.

Who knows what he knows?

He testified to it himself, under oath. Come on, man?

he was 91 when he found out? Man, he is like Benjamin Button. Benjamin Button who condones molestation.

I agree he knew about the one incident and didn't pursue it past reporting it to Schultz and Curley. I'm not saying he's not guilty of not pursuing it further. How much did he know beyond that incident is what isn't on record.

My FIL is 91 and pretty sharp.

Fact is, he did what was legally expected of him.

---

He did what was legally expected of him??? How noble of him. How about doing what is morally expected of him or anyone else that would gain knowledge of this. If he went to his boss and nothing was done, go to the police yourself WHICH IS WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

---

And there are no facts out at this point that say he knowingly let Sandusky rape little kids on campus, or that he was involved in a cover up.

---

By not making sure this POS rapist was in jail and off the streets, by allowing this POS rapist to be around your facilities and kids, you are knowingly letting this potentially happen and covering for it. F***ing kid rapist don’t just do this once. They are predators that do it until they are stopped.

But he deserved 1 more game. Get off your high horse.

Again you have no f***ing clue what damage this does to a child and if you or anyone thinks the above is ok and he deserves anything, you have no clue. By not making sure this rapist is arrested, he and anyone with the same knowledge of it happening is one notch below the rapist as scum.

wait til Button gets to about 10 years old. THen Sandusky can adopt him.
