    I once heard one can get a lot of praises, but if one bad thing happens to them, it is all over.

    Wonder why Paterno, when it was Sandusky who is the pervert and caused Paterno to be fired?

    No, that guy gets his own circle in hell, but Paterno had an obligation to remove Sandusky from his post and follow through on the report.

    Put it another way: If you were in Paterno's position, could you allow someone who had raped a child to continue working for you? Could you live with that?
    He was gone by then ody, he was having a football camp when this happened and wasn't a coach.

    Joe Paterno did everything he was "supposed" to do. But he certainly didn't do everything he could have.

    By his own admission he said he wished he had done more. Don't defend his inaction when even he was conflicted by it.

    RIP Joe. Condolences to friends and family.

    And that's all that needs to be said.

    He KNEW kids were being RAPED, and he did NOTHING! I hope he's burning in hell.

    I see you guys are still over-run with bleeding hearts, reminds me of why I left.
