I'd like to know the details of Mcqueary's severance package.

I believe he is protected by the whistle blowers law, so they have no alternative but to give him the golden parachute. It might have to be made public because it is a state university.

but he did not blow any whistle.He told Paterno,who told someone,who told someone....who pushed it under the rug.

OMG.......Can't........stop........banging........ head.......against.......computer.

Please, for your mental health, don't try to absorb too many deep thoughts in one sitting. You're already laboring under the anchor of that Penn State education of yours. No, the proper response for Penn State students wouldn't be holding a lynching for that 84 year old turd. His bony neck would probably slip out of the noose, anyway.

I don't know what you and your brethren have been breathing for so long in Happy Valley, PA that makes the collective population there miss what the rest of the nation sees so clearly. It is so obvious this place has been ground zero for heinous assaults on children for decades done with the tacit consent of the top administrators of the university and the head football coach. That fact is contained in the grand jury report which will be, no doubt, the first of many ugly reports to come out about these crimes. The people responsible for this consent will face their day in court eventually. Obviously, Paterno hired a crackerjack defense attorney to defend more than his football legacy. When McCreary begins to save his bacon, he will make it quite clear to investigators that he told Paterno exactly what he saw Sandusky doing in the shower to that kid. And at that point Paterno will have no cover for his failure to alert the law enforcement authorities when that assault happened. It will more readily apparent what a scumbag he is when it is confirmed that he chose to evade the tarnish to his hallowed football program rather than do the right thing and erase that monster.

But aside from the actions of Sandusky, Paterno, McCreary, et al., I am more astounded by the rather unified reaction, GENERALLY SPEAKING, of the Penn State community, as a whole. First of all, for those brain-dead students and fans of PSU, this matter doesnt have a damn thing to do with football. This is about hideous crimes committed against children. END OF STORY! Each and every participant in these crimes should pay the price for their crimes. It doesn't make a damn bit of difference if Paterno was the winningest coach in NCAA history and a person canonized throughout Pennsylvania. He kept these crimes hidden. He is criminally responsible!

Second, the majority of students and supporters interviewed at Penn State over the past several days have responded with lock-step uniformity "that JoePa was given a raw deal." Again, are you out of your f*cking minds? If not for the actions of a few logical-thinking administrators who encouraged the remembrance of the victims of these crimes, this past weekend would have been an even bigger pity party for Paterno than it already was. Who gives a sh*t that he was fired? He deserved it. He was lucky he wasn't escorted in cuffs from his home.

Third, what Pennsylvania legal genius there thought it was OK to allow that freak Sandusky to be out on bail. Why hasn't it been revoked? There are more reports that the numbers of victims is going up. Shouldn't someone there even consider the possibility that this could happen again before his legal proceedings begin?

When you belittle folks and come off as some all-knowing vessel of virtue, you do little to advance your argument. You make some good points but they are drowned out by the sound and fury of your needless personal attacks. Rather than call folks names, why not make your points in an intelligent fashion?

I thought it was a very intelligent post and the passion came through loud and clear.

Agree that his passion came through and I respect that but the name calling and degrading the intellect of those who hold different opinions does nothing to advance his points. I didn't find any "deep thoughts" in his tirade but then maybe I'm laboring under the anchor of my limited education and intellect....

"all knowing vessel of virtue?"

Can I get that on a Derby Trail T-shirt? Just put a hex on me and leave me alone.

And again, you resort to a personal attack, making fun of my religious beliefs....hey, I'm use to it but if you want to be "left alone" why post on an internet site? You voice an opinion and folks will respond either in agreement or disagreement. I may be an ill educated, dumb witch in your eyes but I'll continue to respond stating my opinions...if you want to be left alone, don't post.

[dagolfer33]

This seems sinister, Satan and witches and all. I thought Halloween was over. Where's Zaf and his Jesus avatar to brighten this place up?

[Dahoss]

Full moon tonight?

What happened to the old nut-job Somer that used to opine with those angst-filled, teenage-like reviews of the "Buffy the Vampire" episodes?

I am certain that a scribe of your stature and standing need not concern yourself responding to the crap that I write. Methinks your talents wasted moralizing and whining on the likes of me. Instead, for my perverse pleasure, please recall your fond remembrances of what a pillar of the community Jesse Jackson is? I don't recall being hit on the jaw quite so hard as when mine fell to the top of my desk that day after reading that gem you posted. Nor do I remember laughing as long.

"Making fun of your religious beliefs?" I have no idea, nor do I remotely care, what your religious beliefs are. That witchcraft thing you allude to........religion? Sounds more like a gun club where weapons have been banned. You're in Pennsylvania. Why don't you go milk some cows for the Amish for a few weeks. Maybe they can get you straightened out.

I have never called you "ill educated." I have always found your posts (though completely skewed and totally insane) to be well-written, erudite comments and you a wordsmith with a healthy command of the English language.------And then you used "ill educated"............... And here I thought you wrote more gooder than this.

Not the best choice of lawyer

LOL...well done! Witchcraft is a recognized religion though despite being misunderstood.

Joe Paterno has lung cancer. You have to seperate everything, even if your not a fan of his anymore. Im sorry to hear this and would not wish it on anyone.

He's so young. Another victim of the soft kill. Thanks Obama.

Media was making a big thing about him transferring ownership of his house to his wife in July, tried to make a connection to the Sandusky thing, guess we know why now. Best wishes Joe, hope you can beat it, tough way to go.
