AP: Scott Paterno says father disappointed & prepped to take ?s about scandal & NU gm

...so why did they cancel it if JoePa was prepped to take those questions?

Word is President Spanier cancelled it without even telling Joe first.

I respect that POV, honestly I do. Obviously I have never been in that situation before but I can say that as a grown man, and human being, you have a moral obligation to help those who cannot defend themselves which is largely what everyone involved has failed to do throughout this whole ordeal. If I saw my boss or anyone else doing something like this, it would not even cross my mind to walk away.

I completely agree with the moral obligation. However I would feel my moral obligation would be to report it and let the authorities work it out. It is hard to say, as you stated we have never been in that situation, of what we would do. I may say, hey what is going on? and try and get the kid out of there.

I guess that's my point, forget what I think I would do. How do you walk away and let that man keep doing that to a helpless child in the hopes that someone could do something about it? You were in the room, you could have put a stop to it right then and there! How the hell do you walk away?! Then you see him with another little boy years after the fact & say and do NOTHING! It's a joke.

I guess this has been an ongoing investigation for three years....and Penn State kept sweeping it under the rug thinking this would never see the light of day? And I guess Sandusky was at the facilities as early as last week working out.

That is also where I stand, sure we can all talk tough but bottom line surely it should have been reported to authorities. That is where it all ends for me and makes me even more disappointed in the whole thing. In 2002 this could have stopped and instead was left to go on and to harm other young boys. Not to mention the 1998 thing which could have ended it all then as well, but to stick to McQueary just not sure how this isn't reported to the police first and foremost.

I walk in and see someone fondling a boy/girl naked and stay and call the police immediately. Afterwards I will discuss with my boss and their bosses.

They should have cancelled this PC yesterday mid morning at the latest. Doing it 40 minutes before is retarded and completely dropping the ball.

LOL you deserve it though

Another victim comes forward as well.

A lot of crazy shit. All I'll say is if they're guilty burn'em!!

As far as JoePa...I'm assuming he is at no fault until I hear everything. I just can't believe all the good he's done over the last 40-50 yrs means nothing. There's more to this. There is no telling what JoePa was told by any of these people. It'll break my heart if he took part in sweeping this under the rug.

This is getting worse as the day goes on.

Trying to find it online, had a friend call me and say on Sportscenter they said that Joe will step down at 6pm tonight.

I find this a little hard to believe but the person wouldn't lie to me either But not being able to see anything online makes me this it is BS.

I wouldn't put it past ESPN to just throw that out there either just so they can say they were the first to say it. Even if it's complete BS.

[psusnoop]

Well that is certainly true Kwizzy, we all know how ESPN works.

[JBHuskers]

Scott Paterno just said that no one has asked Joe to step down. If this is just spin, I dunno.

[JBHuskers]

Soooooo....we gonna keep the name of that Big Ten Championship Trophy?

[bdoughty]

Paterno press conference cancelled, a lot of the term "cowards" is being tossed about my a lot of sports media on Twitter right now.

Paterno needs to step down. Anyone with integrity would call the police the second they found out about this.

Did you read the Grand Jury transcripts? Joe Pa knew and went on record saying he knew. The Student athlete and his father told him directly. All Honest Joe did was tell his superiors. This was a ten or so year old kid being raped in the shower and they all just let it continue. Not only was it a ten year old, Sansusky was intentionally preying on kids from poor or bad family backgrounds that were in a group trying to get help.


If you have not read the transcripts, do so. See if you can muster through the whole thing without getting a little sick.
