Penn State...what did Paterno know?

Hopefully we hold our schools to a higher standard than we do the Catholic Church and the current Pope seems like we are. However in Joe's defense I'm not sure how much he knew and I understand that accusing someone of being a pedophile is pretty huge, I'd want to have a decent amount of evidence before I put a claim like that out there.

If the Pope is guilty because of what happened in the church then JoePa should be as well.

He was informed of the incident...Reported it to the AD and continued on his quest for a record.

It was his job as a coach, educator and manager to do his due diligence concerning any rumor inside of HIS program. There is no defense for his choice here. Same rules apply for the AD, President and VP's. They heard about the KIDS BEING RAPED. They chose to do nothing. They are going to get what they deserve.

Is it...pedophelia is a sickness and Sandusky should be locked up and never let out. What kind of person is complacent with kiddie rape? If this happened in NC JoePa would be arrested because the laws here are different than PA laws.

Still the two "crimes" are not comparable. Not in the same Universe.

Standing idly by in complacency of crimes like these, after you have been informed of their actions, is the same as condoning their actions. If you don't think that condoning little boy rape, FOR YEARS, is a serious problem then I think that there is something seriously wrong with your moral compass.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.

    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
