Not that difficult to deduce really. The entire university system would say that personal morality is just a tired old convention to be cast to the wayside.

IE; What happens off the field shouldn't matter. Just don't get caught.

This attitude will come back to haunt all coaches. Especially ones who won't investigate one of their own caught up in a pedo accusation.

I'm sitting here watching HLN with my wife while their disecting the Bob Costas interview last Night on Brian Williams Rock Center. This is what just hit me/us...

Mike McQuery as it turns out is a hometown kid. Grew up not far from Penn State, Sandusky has known him since he was a kid, Sandusky knows the family and has been friends with his dad for years. McQuery worked his way up through the system of the Penn State football program. Quaterback, manager, assistant coach. A McQuery's email that has been discovered includes a fairly cryptic message..."the whole truth hasn't come out yet"

Is it possible however horrible this has been...McQuery walked in on Sandusky in the shower and flashed backed to an incident between HIM and Sandusky!

Isn't also possible that the reason that he is being "protected/spared" by the DA's office and Penn State is because he has ALREADY come forward as a victim.

Something to think about....

I would say that is very possible...

I'm just waiting for those supporters to say "Hey, Joe's 84 yrs old. Give the guy a break. He had a senior moment and can't be held responsible for his lack of action."

What a complete loser. He's now one the biggest jokes to set foot on a football field.
Tressell was roasted because he sat on knowledge of his players getting free stuff.
Joe should be burned in effigy. No question. I say again, look at how he reacted to the news the last 2 nights of his career. Standing in front of his house, smiling, fist raised, leading chants/cheers.

And where was Sandusky's wife when he was downstairs, in a basement bedroom, having his way with those poor boys.

This is just getting started. It's going to get worse and worse.

McQueary? A cowardly, shallow, self-serving example of a male. He's lost the right to be called a man. Fire him, now. If there were a way to charge him with a crime, he should be. And his career is over, too. Would you hire him, knowing what we know?

Yeah, yeah, due process.

Answer this, what if you walked into that situation? I know what I would have done. At minimum, I would stop it, call the police and campus police. If Sandusky resisted, I'd rest easy in a jail cell knowing I splattered that guy's brains all over the shower.
Speaking of shower, would you want to bathe in that room ever again? It should be gutted and relocated. And Joe Pa-thetic should pay to have it done.

What an asshat.

$100,000.00 is without bail? Facts my good man, facts please.

Now McQueary is saying he did stop it, from the article:

McQueary’s actions also have been scrutinized, with some suggesting he didn’t do enough after witnessing child sex-abuse.

McQueary told a friend from Penn State that he stopped the alleged assault and went to the police about it. The friend made an email from McQueary available to The Associated Press on Tuesday on the condition of anonymity.


Joe Paterno coached at Penn State for 64 seasons.

(US Presswire)
In the email dated Nov. 8 from McQueary’s Penn State account, the former Nittany Lions quarterback wrote: “I did stop it, not physically … but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room… I did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police….no one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds…trust me.”

Added McQueary: “Do with this what you want…but I am getting hammered for handling this the right way…or what I thought at the time was right…I had to make tough impacting quick decisions.”

Emails to McQueary from AP were not immediately answered.

I heard it reported as he did not put up $100,000 but is subject to paying the $100,000 if he does not show for scheduled appearance.

"District Judge Leslie Dutchcot released Sandusky on $100,000 bail this morning, a price that surprised prosecutors. The bail conditions required Sandusky to merely sign a paper and walk out, stating if he fails to show up in the future, he would have to pay $100,000."

Thanks for the correction, yes I heard that also.

[stomachmonkey]

Don't know why they call it bail, sounds like ROR to me, unless ROR is considered bail?

[911pcars]

Sad, disgusted, angry. It's been said and I agree.

Director, Barry Levinson made this film, "Sleepers" (1996), a story about 4 friends who were sexually abused as kids. Basically a revenge movie, but the script provides plenty of material to feel the full impact of their situation at the hands of sexual predators.

BTW, it's a good film.

Nothing more than school children playing with balls. I can't believe how many adults get wrapped up in it.

Don't know why - but that makes me feel a little better - just life I guess - after all.

Thanks Luke

[pwd72s]

Yep, just life. Guess we need the bad stuff to make us appreciate the good stuff? Alas, the mainstream press seldom mentions the good stuff.

Last night's local TV said Paterno has a $500,000 per year pension with full medical bennies. Oh well, at his age he shouldn't be collecting it long.

There were several ambiguous statements in some of the preceding posts. I also am confused as to who means what about whom.

I do believe he was. Look at his previous posts in this thread. He's just another mouth-breathing apologist for the child-rapist(s) employed by what would be just another 2nd-tier academic institution if it were not for the sudden media interest in the perverted filth on the payroll.

Is it possible that this is much larger than figuered? A sex ring that even Joe Pa is part of? This is bigger than just Football.
