New York Times reports that Penn State is planning Paterno's exit amid the sex abuse scandal involving the former D coordinator....I would hate to see his storied carrer, and legacy, sullied by this scandal....

My opinion: anyone who had any knowledge of this and didn't take proper action (which it appears no one did) needs to go down. There is nothing you can do on or off a football field to make up for that.

I agree 100%, I grew up an hour from State College I have family who work at Penn State I've been a season football ticket holder. I love the Penn State mystic, I'm one of those Penn Staters Joe has referenced in the recent days, this is so hard to swallow! But with all that said Joe and everyone from the President on down must go at once! This horrible secret/cover up has gone on long enough. From one Penn Stater to the victims, I am truly sorry for what has happened to you!

legally joe did everything he needed to. morally, not even close. none of them did, including the graduate assistant that first saw the act in the shower. i'm ashamed to have graduated from penn state. right in the school song "may no act of ours bring shame". **** that place

+1

can't really add anything to this.

On the flip side, this is REALLY BAD NEWS STUFF. From what I am hearing, I think this does sullie his career and puts a HUGE BLACK STAIN on the University. I'd fire(and charge if possible) anyone within ear shot of this, that just sort of swept it under the table... "We took his keys to the locker room." WTF????????????

Wow, I am disgusted.

kelmac07 · 11-08-2011, 11:59 AM

While I am a die hard Penn State fan...if he knew about it...he's got to go. And that paints everything he did over his wonderful career with a big ole asterisk.

replicant_argent · 11-08-2011, 12:03 PM

I don't give a rats aRse about the football side of it, and IMHO no one else should either. If you do, it shows some kind of empathy for a piece of filth, if he has done these things.
May truth and justice prevail on the situation, and may there be some peace for the alleged victims.

Correct... Covering up, "ignoring," deflecting knowledge is despicable, Kevin.

Almost as vile as the perpetrators of pedophilia themselves, IMO.

14holestogie · 11-08-2011, 12:17 PM

Joe...must....go. Along with any others that had any knowledge.

Coach Deg · 11-08-2011, 12:39 PM

I am disgusted with this and I agree all that had knowledge should be gone as in jailed!!!

Then I heard a radio broadcaster give this senario---

You get the news that one of your best friends and coworker has done a despicable act. You think there is absolutely no way. You confront him and he vehemently denies it. You go to your supervisors( president in charge of campus police and AD). They say they are going to start an investigation. They come back and say they have done an investigation and he is innocent. At that point shouldn't you be a little satisfied? Why push further? You want to believe your friend? You want to believe an investigation was actually done.

It made me think??????

The problem is that you got the news from someone else you trusted who watched your friend rape a little boy in the shower. It isn't like he heard it on the street. And the guy that saw it and didn't interrupt it is as big a piece of sh*t as anyone.

If they were going to let him go for the reasons above, today makes more sense than waiting for the end of the season. That would just raise more eyebrows.

OLS · 11-08-2011, 01:07 PM

I am guessing that he wishes he had just stepped down 2-3 years ago and made it extremely honorable and
a sure enough tear-jerker for many of his adoring fans. Almost anyone you ask will admit it's already past
time to be moving on, but no one can bear to really wish for it, no true PSU fans anyway. But now, this
is not like Brett Favre where in 10 years, most people will just remember the accomplishments, not
so much that he went out floundering. But this on Joe, wow, that's gonna stick. Ehh, maybe it's just the same.
hard to say.
