Former Penn State President Graham Spanier was convicted Friday of hushing up child sexual abuse allegations in 2001 against Jerry Sandusky, whose arrest a decade later blew up into a major scandal for the university and led to the firing of beloved football coach Joe Paterno. The jury found Spanier guilty of one misdemeanor count … Read moreFRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
I know for a fact that my Paterno statue post would cause some commentary.. This one being shown here is among the most innocent, a few others detailed some awful things I should do to myself..Unprintable things. Sandusky things.. And you’re right, anonymous, Paterno didn’t do the wretched deeds that others did.. But for some … Read morePaterno didn’t abuse the children. He reported the story of abuse (abuse he did not actually even witness) to his superior, which is what university policy instructed him to do. Maybe Paterno had an opportunity to be a hero, hindsight is 20/20, but he was not particularly knowledgeable about the issue at large OR the actual events, so he did what he thought he was supposed to do. He was an extremely accomplished and well loved man – merely following protocol is not a reason to take that all away
Seems like the entire state of Pennsylvania forgot about the crime of children being molested, having their dignity and innocence stolen, and have a head coach who couldn’t care less.. A new poll shows that a vast majority of Pennsylvanians want the Joe Paterno statue to return to Penn State..
Such a strange juxtaposition of headlines and an ad in my Sunday morning paper today.. The Jerry Sandusky raping headline, jurors hoping for a life sentence, and a Penn State pride ad about charitable collections. It certainly makes their act of kindness a little bit more awkward
When the Jerry Sandusky scandal broke wide open last fall, one or two reporters published articles that the boys molested may have been part of a larger sex ring. Those stories were pushed aside to focus on the known allegations against Sandusky at Penn State. Now CBS News reportedly that US Postal inspectors are leading … Read moreSome new sick news in the Penn State scandal
Happy Valley couldn’t be sadder today. Penn State University has been hit with unprecedented penalties by the NCAA. The ‘death penalty’ was not imposed on the football program, but it may as well have been. The NCAA ordered: No bowl games for four years Scholarships reduced from 25 to 15 $60 million fine 14 seasons … Read morePenn State Pride.. Happy Valley.. welcome to the new world
A tale of one painting. Joe Paterno had a halo after he died, but on July 14, 2012, artist Michael Pilato used his skills to remove that same halo.. Sure, the late Penn State coach is no saint. But now that the Freeh report is sinking in and new facts are being digested, it’s clear … Read more
The devastating emails trickling out of the shadows now.. Amazing how little scorn Paterno faced. He has since died but it is clear his reputation will take a massive hit after the dust settles on the latest revelations. Sandusky did the crime but others sure assisted. Joe Paterno included
A strange video of Jerry Sandusky defending himself making the rounds.. What makes the video strange, besides the appearance of Sandusky himself, is the sentence he utters: ‘I’m attracted to young people – boys, girls’…. Indeed that is what he said. Did he mean how it sounded? Didn’t he?.. Either way, it is likely to creep you … Read moreCreepy Sandusky does nothing to help himself, yet again
