[Rayman]

Wow, that CBS interview gave a lot of insight.

Kim Kardashian was amused.

The couple of assholes pool is starting to swell quite a lot.

But you're still condemning an entire region for the actions of the few, and the further out you go the less information those people probably had. Don't act like because of what we know now, everyone in the State College community knew about it in 2002 and Central PA just had this regionwide cover up. That's just asinine.

This was not only a coverup by the two Admins employed by PSU, but the entire Admin, faculty, sports dept including alumni, fan, and every resident of Pennsylvania from Harrisburg to Altoona.

C'mon Seth, get with the program here.

Didn't see this before until CNN talked about it.

SLAP SLAP SLAPPING!!!!!!

I don't believe a single thing SBB says unless I see the evidence.

They are by far the worst fact-reporting site on the web for college sports news. They make ESPN look like CNN.

In July, Joe Paterno transferred ownership of his home to his wife for $1.

Lawyers not associated with the transaction don't seem to understand fully the meaning behind the move.

“I can’t see any tax advantages,” Frolik said. “If someone told me that, my reaction would be, ‘Are they hoping to shield assets in case if there’s personal liability?’ ” He added, “It sounds like an attempt to avoid personal liability in having assets in his wife’s name.”

Two lawyers examined the available documents in recent days. Neither wanted to be identified because they were not directly involved in the case or the property transaction. One of the experts said it appeared to be an explicit effort to financially shield Joe Paterno. The other regarded the July transaction, at least on its face, as benign.

Pedophiles of a feather perv together. How can a 49 year old lawyer get a 16 year old girl pregnant and not get in any trouble? I know the age of consent in PA is 16 but there should be an age limit as to how old a person can be to have sex with a 16 year old boy or girl.

Wow, what a scumbag..

If we've learned anything from this Mike McQueary situation, it would be not to jump to conclusions before all the facts have been presented. That's all I'll say.

Talking about the e-mail? If that's legit, safe to assume he lied in the Grand Jury.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

So, JoePa sold his home to his wife for $1 four months ago.

Intradesting.

 

[FedEx227]

Good deal!

It is not unusual for a grand jury to leave certain details of its investigation out of its report.

Interesting...

What threw me in the report was saying he left immediately after he realized they saw him.

MOAR DETAILS!

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

That would be a pretty damn big, important detail to leave out of the grand jury summary...just saying.

Agreed.

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

none of this makes any sense.

A former Penn St grad assistant drops some bombs on Joe Pa:

http://mattpaknis.blogspot.com/

The coaches, including Paterno, projected a holier than thou academic image, but they demanded their players and coaches prioritize football 24/7.
I experienced Joe Paterno as a racist when he stated Pennsylvania was not ready for an African American quarterback while Randall Cunningham started for the Eagles. He was the consummate bully and control freak who banished players and their potential careers when they did not buy into Joe's persona.

Overall, I saw Joe as a master spin doctor whose image shed a far greater shadow than his actual character. At the time, there were even rumors in State College about Joe being a wife beater. I was reminded of these when, in the early 90's after a loss to Texas, he said he was going to "go home and beat my wife".

I worked on the other side of the ball from Jerry, but found him very talented with kids, albeit a bit more grabby and touchy with the many young kids surrounding him and his not for profit program, The Second Mile. It appeared he had boundary issues. Memories of this now make my stomach queasy.
He reminded me of a former boy scout leader, Warren Wheeler, from my home town of Madison, NJ, whose name, in memory, now adorns the local Boy Scout Camp. He was abusive to boys, like me, who did not buy into his persona. I learned later in life he preyed on my friends.

Joe was tough on me, but I accepted it as professional hazing. I was the youngest and newest coach on the staff. I left PSU a bit early to pursue my masters in architecture degree. The disparity between PSU's image and reality soured me to major college coaching.

My goal in sharing this is to:
1. Help survivors gain more control and fulfillment in their lives
2. Stop the abuse cycle.
3. Expose Joe Paterno for his true colors.
4. Foster good (honest, selfless, self critical) behaviors vs. evil (selfish, lying, narcissistic) behaviors.
Joe Paterno knew and knows everything about what's happening in his program and in State College. He was / is the ultimate control freak. If Jerry committed these crimes it is impossible for me to think Joe was not aware and complicit.
As a Penn State assistant under Rip Engle, Joe's nickname amongst players was Joe the rat. He tattled on players' misconduct to the head coach. Joe went to Rip instead of addressing the player face to face. He always used power and leverage to exert authority instead of true leadership and influence. Joe was Rip's protected favorite, like a mama's boy. I imagine he felt he could do anything to others and get away with it.

Thus, decades later, when a powerless boy needed a man of real character and integrity to protect him, Joe showed his true colors. He protected himself and let the little boy disappear. Author M. Scott Peck, in his book; "People of the Lie", characterizes evil people as selfish, lying, and narcissistic. It appears Joe's old nickname still holds. Except now, I think it should be Evil Rat.

My favorite part:

Another bizarre tradition at PSU was the coaches showered together after each practice and game. We never did this at Brown or at URI and my coaching friends never experienced this on their staffs. It was one of the many things at PSU that made me realize there was something very strange about the program and its staff.
