I am in shock at this entire situation. My grandfathers 100th birthday is next Wednesday, I couldn't be more upset for the guy. There are not many people in this world that are as close to Penn State and the football program as he is, which is a major reason I have had the opinions I have had recently. I am speechless.
just saw that...they cancelled his press conference today. at his age, i couldn't see him handling the barrage of questions that were going to be hurled his way too well.
sad times all around....
True....don't throw him out there, especially if the Board of Trustees is working on his exit. JoePa needs to reach out to the victims with his wallet now.....therapy ain't free and the pharmacy does not give those anti-depressants away for free.
It's Graham Spencer hiding behind closed doors... How many days are we on now? And the last thing we've heard from the President is last week when he said that the other two scumbags had his unconditional support.
Spencer, you are going to get fired... at least get out there and take the questions like a man, you little weasel.

Because of any type of action, this is getting totally away from PSU...
Apparently Joe Paterno's son is working on setting up an off campus press conference for Joe to speak at.

the school is now in full damage control ... there will be a huge civil suit and at this point - anything anyone says is likely to add zeroes onto the settlement ... it's a full scale PR lockdown now ...

They're fighting to see who gets thrown under the bus.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

I believe you are absolutely right because you can bet lawsuits are coming and likely a settlement from PSU just save money and save face.

My wife worked at some of Sandusky's camps while she was attending PSU. She said he would come through and visit every now and then. She said he gave her the creeps...she wasn't all that surprised to hear the news when it broke.
She said it really is a shame for these kids. Most of them already have issues when they get to these camps.
Whoever said that this is a house of cards is right on point. I kinda feel bad for Joe Pa. He probably should have done a better job of reporting what he knew, but it sucks that he's going out like this (and I'm not a PSU fan by any means)

Nice thought but that won't happen. He needs to go away NOW and never come back. He should resign immediately or they should just fire him. The whole university has been exposed, the notion of "JoePa riding off into the sunset" is dead, lose him now and start over.
Fucking sad situation i really feel bad for the kids that have been hurt and i also feel bad for the athletes and alumni but for JP to have not called the police the Mnt he found out about this is totally negligent who knows how many kids might of been saved from this fucking monster ....

it can be hypothesized that this is what caused the problems to begin with ... trying to manipulate a situation rather than coming clean ...

For all we know we could be asking for Go Pa to be fired by people that were in on the cover-up.
Alright, alright, alright!

Right... You hear a lot of the media saying in amazement how terrible Penn State is handling this scandal (or not handling it). Is it really a shock looking at how they handled the crimes to begin with?

This whole thing is fucking disturbing. I don't even want to read any more of these stories about it...
I know... I've been intentional focusing my reading/ranting on those involved at the university. I tried to read an article this morning about a couple of the victims, and I couldn't get more than a few paragraphs in. It's so disturbing and horrifying...

So Penn State is reportedly "planning Paterno's exit." Like what the heck is that? Nobody's above getting their ass fired on the spot. Especially when your actions (or lack thereof) allow a child-rapist to continue running an organization that gives him constant access to children. He really should be charged with criminal negligence...but instead he'll just watch the games at home from now on.

Yeah. This is pathetic. If there is a textbook about how to mishandle a situation, Penn State is re-writing it. Planning? Really?
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

Asshole deserves every question thrown at him.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
STATE COLLEGE (AP) -- Joe Paterno's support among the Penn State board of trustees was described as "eroding" Tuesday, threatening to end the 84-year-old coach's career amid a child sex-abuse scandal involving a former assistant and one-time heir apparent.
A person familiar with the trustees' discussions and who used the term "eroding" said it was unclear what the consequences for Paterno will be and that a decision could be rendered before the board meets on Friday.
Penn State President Graham Spanier has also lost support among the Board of Trustees, the person said, but again, how much was unclear.
Paterno's son, Scott, said his father hasn't spoken with Penn State officials or trustees about stepping down. Addressing reporters outside his father's house, he said Joe Paterno plans to not only coach in Saturday's game against Nebraska, but for the long haul.
"No one has asked Joe to resign," Scott Paterno told The AP in a text message.

In his defense, it's being reported that the president canceled the conference.
Alright, alright, alright!
