    Re: And the name of his book is "Touched"

    I can't believe that assistant coach, Mike McQuery, hasn't been fired yet. He testified he saw a man raping a child and he walked away? He saw the man continue to be around children in charities and at his university for years and never followed up on his allegations?

    Penn State is an institution that enabled child rape! This is worse than all other NCAA infractions in the history of time combined. If SMU can get the death penalty and USC gets banned from bowl games for infractions that pale in comparison what kind of punishment is justified here?

    Pateno should go down as one of the worst coaches of all time. Looking the other way from child rape is beyond inexcusable. Paterno put himself and his school above the safety of defenseless children.

    This is huge breaking news in the world of sports. I'll leave it here for a little while longer than merge it into the other thread in the OT section.

    Re: OT: JOE PATERNO FIRED

    It pisses me off so much I want to quit my job and go into law enforcement and hunt down these bastards. Not just Sandusky, obviously he is a sick devil. But the receivers coach Mike McQuery saw a 10 year old being raped and didn't stop it, he told his dad about it, he told Paterno about it, Paterno told his boss about it, they talked to another university boss about it. A janitor saw another rape that he said was worse than any of his fighting in the Korean war, the janitor told a co-worker. Those janitors told their boss. That is 8 adults that saw rape or heard first hand accounts of it and did nothing to stop it and allowed a pedophile to roam the campus with children until just a few weeks ago. Unbefuckingbelivable.

    Re: OT: JOE PATERNO FIRED

    I feel for the victims and their families, but this is bullshit. JoPa didn't commit any crimes. He reported what he was told, not saw to the AD and the campus police, which in PA are considered real police. He is being made the fall guy, and it is sad. He deserves better

    Re: OT: JOE PATERNO FIRED

    Bullshit! Paterno even said himself he made a mistake and regrets not doing more. You think he'd have done the same bare minimum to not be prosecuted if it was his grandkid someone saw being raped?

    I get that Paterno is a beloved figure in the community/state, but seriously- fuck that guy.

    Likely, I am pretty dumb.

    Dunno if the "any press is good press" angle applies here.

    Students are rioting in support of Paterno. Two news trucks have been flipped over.
