I don't know what happened but I'm glad everybody else does. Paterno is not even in the fugging building when this happens but the next day a grad student tells him he saw some bad doo going on. Paterno notifies the AD and chancellor(?) who actually gave the creep the authority and access to be on campus and in the facility. The guy doesn't work for Joe anymore so he reports it to the people who allow him to be there. What the f*** is he supposed to do make a citizens arrest? JP may be dirty as hell in this but from what has been reported it looks like what he did was a pretty reasonable reaction under the circumstances.

The worst thing about this country is how quickly people jump on the media driven frenzy train.

In my mind a reasonable reaction when you are god and king of a campus, and your right hand man is raping boys in YOUR shower, witnessed by YOUR grad assistant is to fire the guy, find out who the kid is (no one did, or cared), make sure he is ok, and call the cops yourself and be damned sure a FULL investigation is launched.

That is, unless you suck as a human being.

Or you are senile.

He wasn't employees by Joe at that point. He was a professor with the university not the football department, so Joe couldn't fire him. Joe could have raised hell though. If Joe Paterno so much as sneezes in Happy Valley there's some one there with the finest tissue softened with the tears of virgins there to wipe his nose for him. If Joe wanted Sandusky gone all he had to do was say it, but he didn't.

Several things will come of this, notably:

1. About 25 civil lawsuits

2. Penn State losing its accredidation

3. Getting a severe NCAA probation (if this is not lack of institutional control, I don't know what is).

I don't know about #2, but as far as #3 is concerned, if there was ever a time to bring back the "death penalty" in college football, this is it. I thought Miami and Nevin Shapiro was bad but that's nothing compared to this.

Yeah I asked about accreditation earlier in the thread. So there are 2 of us that see this as a possibility, since we know that the admins knew and did nothing.

Anyone who's "waiting on more evidence" to decide if JoePa is part and parcel to this whole fiasco, as journalistically honest as it may be, is 1. severly underestimating the severity of the phrase "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy" 2. completely unaware of the culture JoePa created at that University and 3. dreaming.

This will not get better for Joe. He will not be exonerated.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
