Penn State pedophilia

[SeattleUte]

How likely is it that Paterno never learned of the 1998 incident, and this had nothing to do with Sandusky's early retirement in the prime of a highly successful coaching career?

What gets me about that book is that he had to have known that he'd get caught someday, and why oh why would you ever choose that title?

Speculation! Rush to judgment! Where is your PROOF!??! Just like that you would abandion the weight of the western tradition's approach to adjudication of guilt?

Sorry; I couldn't help it.

I think there is a zero percent chance that Paterno removed his hand picked replacement without exact knowledge of the Sandusky accusations.

It doesn't matter the likelihood.

Breaking news on ESPN:

"Former Penn state defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky tells NBC's "Rock Center" he is not a pedophile and is innocent of all charges in Penn State child sex case. Sandusky admits to showering and horsing around with young boys, and says "I shouldn't have showered with those kids." Sandusky: "I have hugged them and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact."

That's why I refuse to watch anything by Roman Polanski.

And music by Michael Jackson?

Not sure if this has been posted, but I read a report on ESPN insider that said that PSU reached out to UVA coach Mike London about its job before Paterno was officially let go.

He told them thanks, but no thanks.

If true. Wow...way to keep your priorities in order there Penn St.

And music by Michael Jackson?

I don't believe that he was guilty of anything other than being an immature mantoddler. I've read the depositions from the Polanski case, and I've read a lot about Jackson's alleged deeds. I don't think that Michael Jackson did anything criminal.

Even Kyle and Bronco mentioned as possible replacements here.

Oddly, the writer is under the mistaken impression that Kyle turned down the Tennessee job.

Charles P. Pierce:

Wow. That's the Charlie Pierce who is frequently a panelist on wait, wait don't tell me. He's my new favorite.

The term "horsing around" makes me so f***ing mad. That has to be the ugliest euphemism in the English language. WTF do you exactly mean by "horsing around" you bleeping pedophile?

Honestly I could see a job like Penn State appealing to Bronco and who knows, maybe PSU would want to bring in a squeaky clean total outsider after all this stuff.

It's a long shot, but it sort of makes sense. No way would somebody like Urban Meyer or Bob Stoops take the job. Maybe somebody like Mark Richt would go ahead and take the PSU job if they payed him a ton since he was damn close to being fired two games into this season anyway.

since when is it a mistaken impression? I thought it was well known and true.

Well disputed and probably false.
