First words out of his mouth, "This isn't a binding legal document"
Please.
Looks like another perfect day.

I understand him protecting his father, but I really wish he would just stay off the TV and radio.

He's making himself look like a giant douche. It's way over the top

Which would have been VERY interesting.

Only fueling the fire at this point. The Paterno family just needs to go away. What's done is done and there isn't getting back what Joe hid from them, and others.

Jay I understand you're in a tough position, but please just be quiet. You're making all the PSU alumni look even worse.

Jay is in a really tough spot here. Now that Joe is gone, he is essentially the man of the house and the family, and he feels it's up to him to defend the Paterno name.
He need to realize he is doing much more harm than good, and would be better off just standing aside until the dust settles.

Essentially the man of the house? The "man" is 45 years old and supposed to be the man of the house and it's understandable to a certain extent to defend your father. However, at what point do you take a look in the mirror and admit that your father was completely in the wrong?
Edit: Joe Paterno: "Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good."

Texas you are the psu lion. Never would I pile on in a situation like this. You're right on. The first move would just be to say we're sorry for dad.
It's all about the dollar from here on out. Good luck.

Just thought it was way over the top. Came across the wrong way and it came across as painting Joe as the victim. Either they should say things througha lawyer or nothing at all

If he is the "man of the house" then he needs to step up and admit his daddy was wrong. Every excuse that comes out of that POS mouth is a slap in the face of the real victims here, the ones that were raped because of his dads actions.
And yes, Jay is a POS for his actions right now. It isn't about him, his dad, his mom, or the Paterno name, it should be all about the victims.

Totally agree with this. Everything he said made him look ignorant. He acted as if ZERO blame should be put on Joe.

I agree.
I can't imagine what he must be going through. It's bad enough as a fan of PSU, but to have it be your own father must be heartbreaking. He's in denial, and it's understandable.

It may have been over the top, but if it was any of our fathers we would be doing the same thing.

Yeah I don't understand what ESPN is thinking by talking to him and Millen. Matt was a total homer in denial and really sounded bad.

Nope, my father is the greatest man I know, but I wouldn't give him any mercy if he covered up children being abused.
You take care of the less fortune, not abuse them.
Edit: more info than I feel like giving.

After working in a court room for years Jay would be a laughing stock amongst his peers. The funny part is we are talking Westmoreland County. NOT LOL.
