Are you delusional? they mean he could have kicked his sorry ass off the campus and to the curb. Publicly sever all ties from him and have him immidiately arrested and publically apologize for ever even having on your staff or campus. Paterno is the boss of all out there, thats B & B’s point!

I cannot fathom the emotions that these victims are experiencing. My heart goes out to them and their families and I will NEVER allow my children step foot on the Penn State campus.
Doesn’t matter how the University reacts now. I will always associate Penn State with condoning child rape and harboring pedophiles.
November 7, 2011 at 9:12 pm
It is strange to see someone defend Penn State in this. They turned a blind eye, that is condoning. They allowed other boys to be sodomized and molested. There are more boys than 8 you can rest assured of that. Sandusky is demented and it takes a special dementia to allow yourself to molest a youth, but not reporting such thing to the police?? According to the report I just read, there is a lot more culpability than Sandusky and Paterno. O my God my heart hurts just thinking of little boys happy to be going to football games just to end up in a shower with this monster. Please just let him into main population in prison where he will get the justice he deserves
November 12, 2011 at 7:35 pm
I’d fire EVERYONE!!! Especially the assitant who put the sneakers in the locker and “heard a rhythmic slapping sound”. He was put in a tough spot and perhaps thought he had done enough, but he was wrong!!!! Every man knows what the sound is and the force it takes to generate the sound. To associate that sound with the image of a poor little boy, being attacked like that by this pervert, disturbs me. It truly disturbs me. It took me forever to read that report because of the time it took me to be able to get past that point of the report without becomming teary-eyed.
How bad are the administrators that recommended these kids to the Program.
God Bless all the victims of molestation. To carry that weight around is a unwanted burden that you shouldn’t have to bear.
November 8, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Funny thing is, instead of the assistant being charged for not reporting what he WITNESSED, he’s been named the interim coach to replace Paterno.
Sounds to me like JoPa had good retirement benefits coming and the board figured they could save a bunch of money by firing him instead.
November 10, 2011 at 9:44 pm
You’re confused. The interim coach is in no way associated with the scandal.
November 10, 2011 at 10:01 pm
You’re right, Marianne… the report I saw that said he was the new coach was wrong, and I repeated it; sorry.
He is currently an assistant coach, though, and the university has told him to stay home saturday because he’s been getting death threats.
November 10, 2011 at 11:29 pm
The interim coach is not associated… yet.
But I think it’s safe to say that if you’ve been with Paterno for 33 years as Bradley has, and you’re Sandusky’s replacement, you effing knew what was going on.
They all knew. And they all did nothing.
November 11, 2011 at 8:20 am
Good for the old codger!
November 15, 2011 at 1:35 am
I completely agree….anyone who did NOT dial 911 immediately needs to be FIRED!!
CLEAN HOUSE!!
I read the report … I’m not teary eyed … I’m livid. as a victim of abuse myself – it INFURIATES me that we turn such a blind eye to the molestation of children.
In my day … no one was there for me. seeing reports in the media, you think we would have advanced some – this is clear proof we have not. Not when the cover up and abuse went on for as many years as it did. we only know bout 8 in the report. I heard on the news it may be ‘as many’ as 17 … seriously? as quickly as this animal moved through 8? you HONESTLY think there’s only been 17 since 1977? are you INSANE?!??!
November 11, 2011 at 10:44 am
The administrators believed in the program I’m sure. As for McQueary we all know what he should have done. However, I understand why he was so afraid. I feel bad for the guilt he has to live the rest of his life with…it all boils down to demented Sandusky….he must be put away. Statistics show that pedophiles do not not generally rehabilitate…keep him away from society forever…children come first.
November 11, 2011 at 5:34 pm
fry em all. re-=animate them. repeat.
November 8, 2011 at 3:24 pm
All I have to say is if it were me walking in that locker room I would have killed this man after witnessing such a cruel act. These are our children for Christ sake!!! If you witnessed an adult sotamizing a child of whatever age, what would you do? Because I know what I would have done. Pure shame, and today is a sad day to be a citezen of this country.
November 8, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Paterno and the rest of those members are all P**sy’s. They’re all contemplating about how they can make their story sound good to their benefit, when the true fact of the matter is that there are more than 8 victims traumitized by the hands of this sick man. Pure Dusgust!!!!!!!!
November 8, 2011 at 3:48 pm
You have obviously not perused the report, so you are speaking from ignorance.
http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/Press/Sandusky-Grand-Jury-Presentment.pdf
The person they should be hunting down is the high school counselor that was recruiting the kids for sandusky (see “victim 6″ and “victim 7″).
November 10, 2011 at 9:48 pm
that person should also be included … yes. but anyone who did not call the police after witnessing inappropriate behavior … ALSO needs to be fired!
November 11, 2011 at 10:46 am
Just read the Grand Jury report. Just AWFUL. If Sandusky is guilty, lock him up and let the other inmates get revenge.
November 8, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Mr. delusional and Kevin, U DON’T know what joepa was privy to. Have u even heard Joe speak yet? NO! What concerns me bout u and the media is all the focus on Joe instead of the REAL person responsible for this unforgivable act. How many people even know the actual predator’s last name. REALLY PEOPLE!
November 8, 2011 at 9:46 pm
You my friend are just as delusional as all the others who chose to look the other way. To say that Paterno did not know is just pure ignorance on your part. Sad….Sad.
November 9, 2011 at 11:17 am
See… just like the media, put a spin on words to make someone look bad. NEVER did I say Joepa didn’t know. Simply saying give the old man a chance to defend himself, but of course in today’s society most seem to enjoy crucifying the accused before they can even peep a word. Sad very sad!
November 10, 2011 at 7:30 pm
It’s Sandusky, nitwit. You and all the PSU apologists keep defending Joe as to what he was told. How about “I saw Sandusky in the shower with a 10 year old boy”. Is that not enough for you? Do adult men routinely shower with young boys in Happy Valley such that it’s not a big deal? ‘Cause I can tell, where I’m from that’s enough info for me to call the cops and let them sort it out. And don’t give me that BS that Joe wasn’t told all the facts. He was told enough to cause him to call his boss and brief him on a Sunday. So he knew enough and then promptly washed his hands of it. As someone else called it – this is a conspiracy of cowards.
November 9, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Shoot them all?? U sound level-headed. If you weren’t so narrow-minded u would understand the context of the message. U would understand I AM NOT DEFENDING JOE, merely need all the facts before placing judgement on someone much less shooting them…NITWIT
November 10, 2011 at 7:45 pm
sick fuk, luv jopa, kill the child …………such a brainwashed loser! THE FACTS ARE THERE FOR ALL TO SEE! The great unwashed proved it. Poor students with no hero left!
November 11, 2011 at 10:38 pm
After reading the report I am left feeling that this graduate assistant did not reveal enough information in the original meetings. I just cannot believe that they would have been delayed, not to mention not going to the police to begin with rather than a coach. I feel like Paterno didn’t know the severity but he did act. He did meet with Curley and then met again with Schultz who oversaw the University Police. This to me seems like he was trying to get this worked on, from there he probably figured they would handle it. I do not see how anyone after reading this report could blame Joe Paterno when clearly the blame seems to be on Schultz for not getting police involved.
November 8, 2011 at 10:14 pm
he did not act as he should have. the authorities should have been contacted.
did he do that? no
the university police are not the REAL police / social services. that’s keeping it ‘in house’
When it was clear others did not act on it … he should have pursued it further knowing what was reported to him
November 11, 2011 at 7:05 pm
I don’t understand? How can so many people witness these crimes against little boys, and no one bother to call the police..Forget bringing it up to school officials. Why not just go and call the police. But first take the child out of that situation. PLEASE!!!!! My God imagine that is your child with an adult you trust. This makes me sick. Everyone at Penn needs to get fired, maybe they will have time on their hands to realize they could have saved these boys from the hell that they went through….
November 9, 2011 at 3:10 am
ray s you are absolutely. Someone should have reported this matter to the police. And this includes the great JOE PA> if he saw that nothing was done by hi so called boss he should have acted himself. Idf antone believes that any one at Penn State is the boss of Paterno they are delusional. He knew about this almost 10 years ago. How does live with that,and all of the other morons. You know what this all about. Ill tell you: protect Penn State at all cost. God forbid they should about the kids rather then football team. Gees I hope this hurt any future reruiting. Yea right.

Can someone please tell me WTH the 28 year old “graduate assistant” who witnessed this awful attack name is not being used in this report? We all understand why the victims names are not here but he wasn’t a victim…..he’s got a major part of blame here. I’m pretty sure if you or I would have seen an attack like this we would have stepped in and protected that child at that very moment, but NOOO, this “graduate assistant”, aka Mike McQueary, saw heard what was going on…watched… and then called his daddy to find out what to do?? PLEASE!!! So, Joe Paterno got this secong hand account information about what happened that night from a guy who did that?? And Paterno’s name is on this Grand Jury Report? The reason his name is not included here is it wouldn’t put these people in the lime light as much as Paterno’s. No one is going to get promoted or get on TV and the news papers by going after this guy. Makes me sick! Of course not as sick as what has happened to these children. Sandusky should be executed.

1 in 4 girls are victims of sexual abuse.
1 in 6 boys are victims of sexual abuse.
The fact that so many head were turned makes me sick to my stomach. All to protect their precious Penn State.
November 9, 2011 at 11:09 am
If one can infer anything from this report is that Sandusky was not Joepa’s successor because of the 1998 shower incident, and was informed of that and decided to retire. So when another incident is brought up to Joepa in 2002 that should have been reported to the police immediately by him! I have no more sympathy for him after reading this report. At the point McQueary is informing of this situation, he know for sure he has a pedophile on his campus and working with children in that non-profit organization. He should have done way more than just go to the AD.
November 9, 2011 at 1:11 pm

November 9, 2011 at 3:35 pm
A HOME GAME? Are you serious? “Last home game for Joe?” It’s too bad that you happen to live in a small town north of the location of a wicked series of events; but sadder than that is that you seem think that for right now, the focus should be a friggin home game. If Joe cared so much about his legacy common sense would have told him the moment he got wind of that news that the only thing to do was to try to protect these kids. Now, had he done that, his legacy would have been boosted by his heroics, rather than forever tarnished by his indifference. You worry about sports, while the rest of the public demands justice for these children whom were robbed of their innocence in the most humiliating and criminal of ways!!!
November 9, 2011 at 3:48 pm
I don’t care about the game…I care about the players on the field…they are also victims in this case…so are the new recruits
November 11, 2011 at 8:55 am
children who were robbed of any childhood because of a man who was given free reign over a program … scores of adults who turned a blind eye … talking amongst themselves instead of calling the police.- or even intervening to pull the child out of such a situation!
Eff the frigging game. it’s sad the PLAYERS … who did NOTHING to deserve what they’re now being cheated out of due to the brazen disregard for the children who were victimized.
November 11, 2011 at 6:54 pm
I have to believe this has been going on for 40 years or more. I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg here. I have to believe that Sandusky created the Second Mile program to have unlimited access to these young boys. Truly disgusting.
November 9, 2011 at 4:07 pm
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”
I read that whole thing and nobody did anything, and they could of, and I am sick. It took me hours to get through that, I had to stop time and again, I quit smoking years ago and I went and I purchased a pack cause I was freaking out.
I am just disgusted at the complete failure to stop this evil predator. Thise poor kids, loking for help and betryed, molested and raped by the person who was suppose to help him.
I can’t believe the wife tried to help him out, I can’t believe with so many different opportunities to stop him everyone made the wrong choice.
I am so disgusted with the faliure to do the right thing. That 23 pages of hell and that’s nothing compared to what those children endured.
November 9, 2011 at 4:17 pm
I agree…it is so disturbing I have been crying over it every day. “Success with Honor” has been turned into a joke. These men really needed to exhibit honor here. How in the world did this go on for so long? Does anyone have an idea?
November 11, 2011 at 9:33 am
how can you ask that question with a straight face?
how did it go on for so long?
the same way it went on with Joe Paterno in charge. HE TURNED A BLIND EYE … everyone who witnessed … DID NOT CALL THE POLICE …
precisely what can any of these people do … that would ‘exhibit honor at this point?:
November 11, 2011 at 10:50 am
IF this was reported to second mile back in 2002 by curley and shaltz (names?), then why didn’t THEY report it to the police and ban him from access to kids immediately? WHO was it reported to? He or she should also be charged for failure to report! Second mile didn’t ban him until a police investigation was started in like 2008. WTH!!
I think PENN should just cancel the rest of the football season.
November 9, 2011 at 6:59 pm
I mean why didn’t second mile report it after it was reported to them?
November 9, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Horrifying. What a nightmare. I hope Sandusky and Paterno and Curley and Schultz and anyone else who could have but didn’t go to the police all die today.
November 9, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Well, I don’t hope they die…I hope they account for what they knew.
November 11, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Joe knew in ’98 or this perv would be the head coach by now, or at least would not have resigned. He continued this horrible activity in exactly the same way in exactly the same locations for YEARS afterward! Joepa saw him at every game, and dozens of school activities over the years escorting young boys. What was Joepa thinking? DISGUSTING! He’s a liar trying to protect a cash machine. Once again greed wins out. SMU got the death penalty for trivial incidents compared to these. Penn should lose all scholarships and close EVERY atheletic program FOREVER !! They ALL knew. Sandusky, his wfe, the grad student,Curely, Schultz, the investigating campus police, and…YES Joe Paterno should all do jail time. Yes JAIL!
November 9, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Why would detectives just tell him “no more showering with boys”, when they were informed about one of the shower incidents? That’s just not right.
November 9, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Terry and Dan,
I do believe in Hell and I hope its coming to breakfast for everyone that had any knowledge of this remarkably evil conduct. I am having a difficult time reconciling everything I have heard today with the fact that nothing of any consequence has happened yet. Why the Board of Trustees haven’t made permanent decisions concerning everyone involved is mind-numbing. Doing what is morally right is fundamental to everyone. Penn State should burn for this to whatever extent possible. Your perspectives are spot on. I only wish the national media could report this with as much objectivity. Keep up the good work.
November 9, 2011 at 8:49 pm
As with Watergate new facts and victims will be discovered over the next few months. Joe Paterno’s legacy will be that of a sexual predator’s enabler.

The entire University should have severe penalties…this is so much more hideous than infractions made by other Universities that received far greater punishment, i.e. SMU receiving the death penalty. Every person who knew anything about what Sandusky was doing should be criminally charged. There should be no question in anyone’s mind what will happen to an institution or person who enables, overlooks or minimizes this behavior. Poor little guys…pre-puberty is such a confusing and vulnerable time for all kids…especially those with complicated home lives. Maybe we could all try to help the cause of abused kids as a result of all of this.

Because there seems to be some confusion regarding this topic: if you ever stumble upon an adult engaged in sexual acitivty with a minor, report it to the police.
-From my friend Valerie Longfellow
I’ll only add, if you are a mandates reporter, teacher, nurse, social worker or doctor, you need only SUSPECT to report. It then become the duty of the local agency to investigate!
November 10, 2011 at 7:07 am
Call the police after you take the kid away from the situation. I understand the shock and horror that McQueary experienced but after he walked out and realized what he saw he should have gone right back in and taken the boy and then call the police.

Um no CollegeStudent, it’s referring to the ‘your a fool’ in which case it should be you’re so maybe you should go back to class!
November 10, 2011 at 8:06 am
What I don’t get…is he was investigated for this in 1998…yet the school still allowed him to bring children onto the campus and to football games after THAT investigation? Seriously? I don’t know about you, but if I know that one of my co-workers was just investigated (guilty or innocent) for taking a shower with a little boy…I would not invite him to my home/school/football game or ANYTHING after that. It’s like those parents who allowed they’re kids to stay at Micheal Jackson’s house after he was already accused of misconduct. Who does that? Who befriends these people enough to still want them to be around? He should have been fired and banned from campus IMMEDIATELY after the first grand jury investigation. Why was he allowed to return to the school?

November 10, 2011 at 10:10 am
OK. I am equally appalled as other commentators. I just have a question. Am I reading the report correctly when it states that this investigation has been going on for multiple years? If this has been investigation going on so long, why are we just being told about it in November of 2011? I also read that Joe Paterno reported the incident that he informed of to his boss. So why is he being held accountable? Is it because he could have reported it to the police himself? Is the same thing said for the graduate assistant? Is he (the g.a.) also being held accountable? I guess I just feel like there is more to the story as far as the cover up.
November 10, 2011 at 10:14 am
One sportswriter, Mark Madden, wrote an article back in April that there was an investigation going on, and he was promptly dismissed by everybody as being full of it.
But, yeah, we all should’ve known about this investigation long ago.
And yeah, so far, the witness, McQueary, is still on the coaching staff. What a joke.
November 10, 2011 at 11:06 am
The grad assistant should have immediately stepped in and put a stop to the rape. Then he should have called the cops. He didn’t – he went to his boss, who should have called the cops. Both of them should get jail time along with everyone else who covered it up.

Paterno reminds me of an Organ Grinder with a friendly pet monkey, whom everyone loves. He loves being loved so very much that when he sees bad things from those he loves, he chooses to just keep on grinding the organ and letting the pet monkey dance for his loved ones. The bad thing is just a moment and will pass quickly for the love for his grinding and dancing pet monkey brings joy to him and those he loves.
Jail the Organ grinder and kill the pet monkey. The love will soon vanish, but the bad things that, though only lasting a moment when witnessed have now become lifetimes of bad things to those who had it done to them. Enough of the Organ grinder worshipping in Sports, Religion, Business, Politics, Teaching. We are all humans with responsibilities to other humans. Organ Grinding and dancing pet monkeys are not important.
November 10, 2011 at 9:43 pm
I agree with Pete. The good old boys club crossed the line when they kept him on, staff or not. Did they think these boys would never grow up and say something? I understand wanting to “protect your own” but this crosses every line of human decency. How could any of them have slept at night…they have children and grandchildren of their own.
Paterno didn’t have to be the boss anymore. I’m sure this issue is one reason Sandusky “retired”. Paterno knew of it. That’s enough. NcQueary was a wimp…sorry…he was 28 and should have left with the little boy in tow. Sandusky’s sorry naked ass should have been kicked right there by McQueary.

The sad part is that he had such a defined routine, the car, the football games, the basement, the showers, the gifts he knew would lure and his refined lines he would say to the victims, the number of victims may never be truly known.

Pingback: Bernstein: You Must Read The Grand Jury Report
isn’t football a religion? oh mighty pigskin – imagine all that’s being covered up in all the athletic programs at schools in this country- image is everything – SPORTS rises above all in this country – People are more devoted to sports than religion – SAD! VERY SAD! If we did away with HALF of sports programming in this country my guess is that we could easily pay off the national debt. – with coaches’ salaries alone perhaps.
It’s also disgusting that people are more disgusted and voiceiferous about this case than they have ever been about the cover up of priest pedophiles – and there are multiple perpetrators, and likely many many more victims in that case – Are we even more afraid to rise up against the almighty catholic church?
Our children aren’t safe with mentors, coaches and priests – WHO does that leave? SAD

What human the moment he/she finds that a man is making a child uncomfortable does not intervene?? I don’t get it, really. If I walk into a locker room and find this behavior happening, Sandusky does not walk out without injuries and in handcuffs. It saddens me that so many people had the opportunity to protect more young boys and did nothing. My brow is furrowed and my heart is heavy after having read that report. Simplest thing is for Sandusky to be released into general population, cons will handle that behavior swiftly and justly.
As for the rest, I think firing is the least they should get but am unaware of the statutes to which they could be convicted, but I think there should be some legal recourse.
Guess we don’t talk about the catholic church anymore, but reminiscent.
Please protect our children, we are the only ones who can.

The school needs to fire EVERYONE in the football coaching staff while the police investigate and prosecute anyone including school officials that had any knowledge of the whole horrid affair.

This report makes me sick. From the university employee’s to the police, everyone closed their eyes. Unimaginable that so many people put Penn State University and their athletic program before the safety of children.
How can a journalist even mention Joe Paterno’s name other than to report he’s in handcuffs after reading this report. I think they should all share the same prison cell.

They will be judged all of them, by real justice…May God have mercy…or not

Too bad your home game won’t be filled with pleasant memories due the this most inconvenient child molestation incident at Penn State. If this is all that matters to YOU, then you really are a SELF-SERVING AND UNCARING individual. I am grateful that you only had one child to raise under your roof with your disdainful values. Shame on everyone who sides with Penn State and its officials who stand beside them in these days.

I predict Sandusky, sorry excuse for a human being is such a coward that he will never go to trial. He will commit SUICIDE.

Like the Catholic Church, the Penn State football program was a culture of male privelege and power, a culture of silence and looking the other way, a culture where crimes can be committed upon society’s most trusting and vulnerable victims. And like the Catholic Church, despite its fans and acolytes, the program has been deeply wounded and will take a long, long, long time to recover.

I agree, I think they all should fry. But I think Schultz has the most culpability (after Sandusky of course). He so blatantly lied and tried to cover up what he knew was happening. All in the name of the almight football game and the dollar. It’s truly disgusting. As a victim of child sexual abuse myself, I can’t understand why SOMEBODY didn’t speak up. The coaches, the administration, somebody! How did Sandusky’s wife not suspect something? This all reminds me of the Michael Jackson sex abuse allegations. It seems people with money and/or power truly do feel invincible and too often are when it comes to abuse like this.
