I have plenty of evidence to form my opinion. I've read the grand jury report. It's linked on ESPN. You will see from there, Paterno did not contact prosecutors or authorities. He did not put pressure on the athletic department to act. He did very little, the bare minimum to give himself some plausible deniability and what was probably the legal minimum (prob. on the advice of counsel) and keep it quiet. And it will work - it went uncovered for a decade (while this guy was out raping children, including by using the Penn State facilities as his own little trap for children) and he apparently will not be indicted like the Athletic Director and others. So, good for you, Joe, you escaped criminal prosecution and you had that extra decade to get to 409 wins. Hurray for Joe.

The editorial boards of every newspaper in Penn (where Paterno is a god) also agree with me. They are calling it what it is: A shameful mark on Paterno's otherwise good record. They are calling for this to be his last year because of it. Examples:

The front page of the Philadelphia Daily News is a photo of Paterno with a one-word headline: Shame.

The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., on its editorial page, wrote: "This would be a sad and ignominious ending to Joe Paterno's legacy, but it must be just that -- an ending." The editorial concluded with: "Given the disgusting nature of these widespread allegations, the insidious connections to Penn State football and Paterno's lack of judgment when told, it's time for him to take his 409 victories and Hall of Fame bust and leave. Quickly."

Law enforcement agrees with me. State police commissioner Frank Noonan said, as far as state police can tell, Paterno fulfilled his legal requirement to report. "But somebody has to question about what I would consider the moral requirements for a human being that knows of sexual things that are taking place with a child," Noonan said. "I think you have the moral responsibility, anyone. Not whether you're a football coach or a university president or the guy sweeping the building. I think you have a moral responsibility to call us."

The victims and their parents agree with me.

But you don't. And that's ok.

(BTW, of course I never said this was "all Paterno's fault." Your just making that up to try to make your argument. Of course it isn't all his fault. But as far as what goes on in the Penn State football locker room, IMO the buck stops at Paterno. And, even besides that, just as a human being, he had a responsibility to do more than he did.)
