Paterno aware of Sandusky allegations in 1976

[Birda]

There are not enough bad things to happen to that pit of an institution. If only he were still alive so he could be even further disgraced.

The punishment they received is laughable.

Someone took over 20 years to come forward and accuse a deadman who cant refute this claim, a claim that has no proof of happening.

Something doesnt add up

1. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to come out about this type of stuff happening to me.  So yeah, it could take that long.  

2. Buckle up bleachercoaches, this will dominate the site for the next 2 weeks.  I'll set the over / under on number of pages at 11.

Thank GOD we have the option to either ignore the subject any more, or put certain people's responses on the ignore list.

I enjoy reading it. Give me something to look forward to when I come into work. I'm actually really surprised this thing hasn't exploded onto 3 pages already.

There's a probably a really good chance Paterno did something wrong in his lifetime pertaining to his handling of his longtime assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. 

It's a tireless cycle every couple months when reports and allegations like this come out, so unless there's a recording of Paterno acknowledging it that will shut the truthers and conspiracy theorists like John Zeigler up, it'll never really come to an end for either side. 

Chances are everyone on here knows their stance on the guy, and unless there's that "aha caught red handed moment"  nothing is going to change for anyone's opinion. 

So it doesn't surprise me everyone is going crazy with pages and pages of replies, because what could be said that hasn't been said?

But Tom Bradley and Greg Schiano's involvement in these documents is the interesting thing.

Not a whole lot more to say.

Nitters talk about "The Joe I Knew."

Nothing, not even indisputable video evidence or eyewitness accounts will change the Cult's vision of their God.

Turns out that the Joe the Cult knew was quite different than the infallible Saint he was portrayed to be, both by himself and his cult followers.

The Joe they knew didn't exist. He was a self-promoting, sanctimonious, lying, arrogant human being.

In the words of Dennis Green, He was who we thought he was.

 "I don't wanna hear any of that stuff, kid, I've got a football team to coach!"

-Joe Paterno, 1976, before walking away from a child who had just shared an indiscretion that Jer had committed against him-

In hindsight, Joe surely wished that he had done more (to try to control the situation and preserve his holier than thou myth and cult fable known as the Grand Experiment, the Penn State Way.)

I'm sure glad that Joe didn't leave college football to the Sherrills and Switzers.

WE ARE...BECAUSE HE WAS.

Indeed. You sure are.

It took him almost 19 hrs.  I'm disappointed.
