Ex-Penn coach charges in sex cases

I agree. I'm not saying anyone is innocent here. McQuery, played for the team, but it wasn't until 2000 that he returned to Penn State as a member of faculty.

I'm guessing, wrongly or rightly, he might have been new to what goes on in college football administration, specifically, at Penn State.

He's been listed as a witness for good reason, again, I'm guessing.

I don't think Mr. McQuery's involvement with this is anywhere near over.

I think it's too late for him to be patting himself on the back. I think it's important to make the point that doing the minimum required is simply doing too little. He may not be criminally responsible, but he is socially responsible. And this is something he is going to have to live with.

I agree with this...
 
All I can say is that this whole thing is a sad reflection on America's culture about putting football over children. I love football it is not worth innocent lives destroyed. Wow.

Exactly. There were so many times they could have nailed this guy, but because of his reputation as a Pennsylvania football god, he was never properly handled.

I read the grand jury report. It's sick and disgusting. This guy was a monster, and he was brazen. So many times people knew something wasn't right, but they just let it go because, well, it was coach Sandusky.

Shame on all Nitwits. It's their pride and ego and false worship in football and demigods that brought this about.
 
Sandusky's home has been vandalized.

Report: Vandals attack home of Jerry Sandusky - College Football News | FOX Sports on MSN

Turns out he is next door to an elementary school and playground.

How convenient for him!

Another thing I don't understand: where was his wife all these years? She knew he had young boys sleeping overnight in their basement; she didn't think anything was up with that, when her husband went downstairs for what must have been a fairly long time? She didn't hear anything? He was constantly taking young boys for road trips and putting his hand on their legs in the car. She never went along?

She had to be either the most gullible, naive wife on earth, or she was willfully refusing to acknowledge to herself what her husband was up to.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Sandusky ends up committing suicide to get out of all this media frenzy. He is facing around 40 counts of charges, basically it all adds up to 480 years in prison.

I had the same thought earlier today
 
Mike McQueary has been put on administrative leave FYI.

The students who protested against the firing of JoePa is nothing but a bunch of negative enablers and disrespect the sexual abuse victims of Sandusky in every way.

In Texas, you really have to be up-there to be able read it. So I'm just asking how.

The illegal actions of Reggie Bush and his family basically brought down his USC team and it led to stripping of their NCAA championship trophy and his Heisman Trophy.

It's posted on the CNN site. You should also be able to get it from Scribd

Scribde is a powerful site that has access to legal documents.

CNN does have a disclaimer that the document is graphic and rightly so.
 
I keep seeing these ridiculous comments from right-wingers around FB and the blogosphere saying that the reason Sandusky was allowed to get away with this for so long is because "he was gay and you can't say anything bad about gay people." Don't mind the fact that Sandusky was married with five kids. Some of the more extremists take it even further to blame this on democrats and "liberal tolerance."

This is absolutely the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. Absolutely disgusting what the moral high-horsers are willing to say.

I am glad our conservative ADer friends have not taken to this road of accusations.
