I knew something like this would come out.


Internal emails indicate that former head coach Joe Paterno battled school disciplinary officials over the treatment of football players.

He reportedly suggested that he alone be allowed to punish football players, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

This is really much better info.



He also acknowledged the question that has troubled many: Why did Penn State's leaders fail to act? "People are asking completely valid questions about why actions were not taken that might have saved any of the victims from harm," said Frazier, the chief executive officer and president of Merck.

Did a football coach who spent 61 years at the school have too much power? Did protecting the program's reputation come at the expense of everything else? Was the school, run by leaders who have spent most of their professional lives in Happy Valley, crippled by its own insularity?

Hate it all for the victims, may they find peace.

Have no sympathy for Sandusky, hope he rots in Hell.

Think Joe should get what he deserves, and that would be jail, IMHO.

Now..before all this crap came out, MANY people in BAMALAND were praising Joe, putting him on a pedestal, etc.....and now all want to crucify him, maybe rightly so. And I am not praising him now..all I am saying is we all need to stop and realize that our so-called "heros" may have feet of clay, and that we should always be careful of thinking a human being is perfect.

God forbid, but CNS Is human, therefore he is imperfect. And so was CPBB, Mother Theresa, Billy Graham, Einstein, Clinton, Obama, hell, all of us..we are only imperfect sinful human beings.

Let us all remember that when we try to put someone in hero status.

 :(

Sorry but I has the confused about why Oboma and Clinton would be mentioned in the same line as Billy Graham, Mother Theresa and Einstein.  :dunno:
To me this is an oxymoron.

 :-X

Old Bill hasn't been on this board in a few months.  Now I come back and see y'all calling each other 'fat' and morons.  GEEZ!   ???

But never in the same sentence, BB.  :)

Call it a slip of the typewritten word..I would NEVER put Clinton and Obama in the same league as Mother Theresa or Billy Graham..all I was trying to do, ever so ineptly, was to show that ALL highly esteemed people (by some) are simply imperfect human beings..and we should all remember that.

See the article in USA Today..we'll see more and more of Joe's dark side.

I understood what you meant.
