The Lions' Pride

There are only 14 states in the US that allow recall elections for govenor, and PA is not one of them. About the only way he will leave office before the end of his term is to resign, and with his huge ego, it's doubtful that will happen. Too bad for the Commonwealth and PSU.

Unless......some type of criminal activity comes to light. I think I'll start scuba diving the lower Susquehanna river looking for hard drives.

There was a show on the I.D channel about Ray. It discussed the history of mental illness in his family and that his heathered suffered from when he (the brother) commited suicide. Rays girlfriend at the time thinks he faked his death. The show also said the FBI had looked into this case. So unless the FBI is involved in the cover up whatever happened to Ray had nothing to do with any of this or Corbitt.

Understand now. I misread your previous post.

The problem with Joe is that the vast majority of PSU fans viewed him as some kind of deity and not as a mortal man who makes mistakes like the rest of us. So those who viewed him like that won't accept any wrong doing and they infuriated other fan based over the years with how they portrayed him as a deity imo thus what we saw from many when this broke.

Right and then there are people who view him as a God that could move mountains if he wanted to. In this article it explains what while he didn't do it all, he did have some issues ahead of him and had a certain person (Corbett) do his job this might have gone down differently

According to Wiki, this reporter was hired by ESPN in January. Makes sense now!

God I wish Paterno was allowed to release this statement on Tuesday, like he had wanted to:

"Let me begin by offering Sue and my prayers for all of the people impacted by these events. I know it is small comfort given the circumstances.

I also understand that there are a lot of questions regarding the events involving former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz. However, because of the status of these ongoing legal matters, I will not speculate or answer questions about the charges or the people involved beyond this brief statement.

As the Grand Jury report notes, I was subpoenaed last January to testify regarding an incident in 2002. As my very brief testimony established, my role was limited to a single report made to me by an assistant coach in 2002.

The coach in question came to my house on a Saturday morning and informed me that he witnessed former coach Jerry Sandusky in a shower with a young boy.

The coach made it clear that he felt strongly that there was something inappropriate going on and that he was very upset by what he saw. The coach made no specific allegations of any identified sexual act, nor did he use any graphic terms – just the idea that what he saw was wrong and that he did not know what to do next.

At that time I told the coach that he had done the right thing and that I would take the appropriate next step. After consideration I determined that, given Sandusky’s status as a retired employee governed by a retirement package negotiated with the administration, I had no authority to act directly.

The next day, in accordance with University policy, I contacted the head of my department and related what was told to me. That was the last time the matter was brought to my attention until this investigation and I assumed that the men I referred it to handled the matter appropriately.

I know that there are many other questions that people want to ask, but I ask that we all be patient and give the judicial process time to do its deliberate work. Finding the truth is what will benefit the victims most of all, and that is who we should all keep in mind as we deal with this tragedy.

In order to give that process adequate time I will not be answering any questions on this matter, nor will I have further comment, until the legal process is completed."

That would have effectively hamstrung the media's illicit assassination of Joe Paterno's character and reputation. There's nothing but truth there, and NOTHING we heard since then contradicted it. That statement would have forestalled the firestorm because it clears Joe and the football program, and the media wouldn't have given a flying f*ck about this with Joseph Vincent Paterno and Penn State football involved.

"The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News -- citing a source with knowledge of Dr. Jonathan Dranov's grand jury testimony -- says the latest version of McQueary's observation differs from the grand jury presentment and another account provided to the newspaper based on a 2010 McQueary interview with investigators."

The article was referenced by ABC News, USA Today, heck even a Bleacher Report article.

Per Wiki...

"He previously worked for 16 years as an investigative correspondent at The New York Times, where he was a member of two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams"

Finally ESPN hires someone with a nice, credible resume rather than a talking head or ex-jock.

He's lower than imaginable in my book but I'm curious how exactly his actions lead to jail time.

I'd have the same opinion if it was Gov. Rendell involved with the scandal instead of Corbett.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue. Corrupt politicians are bad for the state & country no matter which party they come from.

Using a high profile investigation of an alleged pedophile for one's own political ambitions is so far beyond reprehensible I can't find the word for it. Any person that would do such a thing does not deserve to hold any type of elected office & it shouldn't matter if it's a (D) or (R) next to their name.
