I have never seen so much hate from one person. If he cut you from his team I am sorry for that, if he never gave you an autograph I am sorry for that too.
He has to answer for his actions everybody does including you.
The court system will figure this out and between any possible criminal or civil actions there will be an end and Paterno may indeed have some bad days ahead. I certainly wouldn't argue if evidence comes out against Paterno.
Now since you are so sure of the outcome on this very terrible issue why are you giving more press to Paterno than Sandusky? I find it strange and disturbing that you choose to concentrate on the coach and not the person how did the allegations or even the victims.
I don't think you are a person I would want around children - you scare me as being strange and vicious by your posts. Sometimes the one with the biggest vendetta is the one with the secrets in life.

Spin, How aptly you selected your screen name. This scandal is the worst ever in college or professional sports. Hell, it is one of the worst things this country has ever seen in regards to the level of trust that was violated and broken. Paterno is definitely responsible for allowing this to grow into what it is today. As was stated in numerous posts, and also numerous times by the national media, this isn't going to just go away. What would you have someone do - just forget about the incidents and let the legal system play its course? That is not how it works.
The bottom line is that PSU, Paterno, etc have made billions of dollars out of the idea of honor, integrity, and trust. Turns out it was a complete fabrication. No matter how much "good" he did by being a good coach, he chose the nucelar option by not going to police and assisting the coverup.
I don't see hate in Titan, myself, or anyone else who chooses to criticize and condemn any of those associated with the scandal. For thirty years we have watched, read, seen, and heard the mantra of how Paterno's program was so much nobler than all others. PSU fans took this moral high road every single time they had the chance, too. The media bought into the lie, and they feel betrayed. Therefore, the sports and mainstream media is never going to let this go away until all of the evidence has been uncovered, and punishment is handed down. Likewise, those who are not fond of Paterno and PSU are going to continue to mention it every chance they get because that is how it has always been with this moral, honor, integrity crap.
Finally, if you are going to argue or refute the accusations, that is one thing. But to try and deflect away from the real crimes by accusing a poster of being a danger to children because of his feelings for Paterno is just completely tasteless. The more responses I see such as yours only validates a lot of what has been uncovered so far - that most PSU fans are so loyal and brainwashed that rather than be ashamed, they riot and destroy property in protest of the firing of their coach. A coach who simply was dismissed for allowing one of his assistant's to rape children on school property.

Actually never was a Penn Sate Fan. I am 100% Pitt Football and Basketball. I met Mr. Paterno once didn't think much of him but it was brief.
I'm not giving anyone a break nor did I say that in my above post. I think that is clear to see.
However when you go out of your way to start so many threads then what would you have one think? Like this thread makes sense. What possible gain good or bad does it do? Yes I worry about people so consumed that they start just any type of thread just to keep flaming flames that need no help.
I see hate in the effort to bale just one man out of many who had something to do with. He is the one picking on Paterno, I have not defended Paterno.
So what I have to say what about Sandusky? I can't figure out why Titan choose to sort out one person and give a large pass on his venom on Sandusky.
I see the same zill and cunning along with persuasion efforts employed by Sandusky in his threads. They may not be as soft and kind as Sundusky but they have the same power of control. Thus think about it for awhile it is normal to go so far overboard.
For my record - Not giving Patero or any other people a pass. If the evidence is found to be true then they have to pay for it. I don't have a problem with his firing - felt it was best due to the initial facts. I question why Sandusky got a low bond release amount. I ask why his foundation took no stronger actions along with PSU administration.
But to just keep dumping on Paterno doesn't make sense and it certainly doesn't lead to understanding anything. One should worry about the problem first then you can have your fun with the schools reputation, personally I could care less what happens to PSU. Though I care if the students are given a good education ready to meet the worlds problems.
