Ex-Penn coach charges in sex cases

That is ridiculous to assume EVERYONE knew what was going on. It was a shock to a lot of people. People do have lives and arent always following the news. I LOVE COLLEGE football and I didnt know exactly what happened until last night myself.
his comment was made and less than a couple minutes later he apologized when someone tweeted him a nasty message. PEOPLE do make mistakes. Geesh why dont you take the head off of ANYONE who isnt informed RIGHT away.

OK, maybe it is a little too harsh, but, in all fairness, he was indicted last week not yesterday. And, the story has been huge news in every paper and many magazines. I don't even follow college football and I know about it.
Paterno's involvement came out with the story and while he is not charged he certainly was someone who could have stopped it and it is hard to believe he didn't know about it. In my work, which is not school administration, everyone knows what's going on with everyone else.

I think it is hard to believe the firing was football related? Was the football team actually having that many on field problems that the would require the school to fire someone with three games left in the season? I just think that is a little too coincidental, don't you?

IMO, Ashton was thinking more of the football team than the victims. Just like the people who rioted last night.

This is true, but I KNEW something happened with Penn State this week but I didnt run to go read about it or watch sports center. And I think that was the same with a lot of people. But you better believe when I found out I made myself knowledgeable about what was going on.

The problem is loyalty gets in the way of common sense. I just can't understand putting a sporting event before it. But it's not a surprise, every sports institution is like this. Nobody wanted to admit Maguire, Bonds and Soza were doing drugs. It's sad really.

Its true, look now. 3 of the most respected College football coaches in the last 3 years have been outed on scandals! Ol' Pete Carroll, Jim Tressel and Now Joe Pa... SERIOUSLY!?!
 
So, mod, you are editing my post to censor my language? There's no rule against that. You're overstepping your authority.

Vulgar language is offensive and it is NOWHERE near over stepping my authority. There is a reason why everyone doesn't use the "F" word when they type or talk. It is vulgar and its just not needed.

Complain about it all you want but I am sure the other mods and Alex would agree with me. Next time it would suit you better to question my authority in private than on the forum. Not sure why you find it necessary to stir up whatever you can whenever you have a chance. It really isn't becoming of you.
 
Also, PS. if you check the FAQ part of the forums you will find this:

What are moderators and administrators?

Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other actions.


Just an fyi.

Don't worry, I've got a response for this load of BS. I don't care to take this private. I'd rather keep this in the open where everyone can see your hypocrisy and ignorance of forum policy. AD is a free-speech forum, and Alex has stated exactly that. You're just singling me out here for biased reasons, which we both know.

Just give me a minute . . .

Dude, your expletives are still in the post? What are you talking about?
 
It gets worse:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/09/s...-sandusky-wrapped-in-2005-gricar-mystery.html

The District Attorney, Ray Gricar, involved in investigating the first case against Sandusky, disappeared in April, 2005. His body has never been found. His car was found in a parking lot near two rivers; his laptop was found about 4 months later in the river, and eventually the hard drive was found, but nothing could be retrieved from it.

He was finally declared dead this past summer, so his daughter and family members could start distributing the estate.

Apparently Sandusky has adopted and fostered children over the years. I hope they weren't subjected to the same treatment.

What I find scary is that perhaps he adopted those kids for that very reason.

Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if they turn this case into a movie.

Yeah, got to say it is still conjecture though. We have to be reasonable. There is no actual evidence linking Sandusky to Gricar, as of yet.

I remember when I was in PA in July when they pronounced Gricar dead. I thought the same over his laptop's contents, it seemed all staged. But just like with DB Cooper, we have no evidence what happened after..
