    I'm not defending Penn State, but why didn't these clowns come out while everything else was going on? Sounds fishy to me

    Clowns? Come on, Jeff.

    I am not saying they are all telling the truth because I couldn't possibly have that information.

    I have to ask, how many men do you know would go on record and claim they were sexually abused if they weren't? I would be less willing to believe it if they were speaking publicly with the media, but they aren't. They didn't even go to the media anonymously.

    My best guess is these were people who were interviewed by the Freeh investigators and spoke to them on the condition of anonymity. Men just don't report sexual assault or abuse, in fact, statistics show they are three times less likely to report it for a variety of reasons.

    It is probably much more likely that Sandusky victims are staying silent than the ones who are going to the authorities are lying. And many of them don't appear to have gone to authorities, it looks- to me anyway, I could be wrong- that the authorities used records and went to them and asked.

    I don't know how many would, but I do know when money is involved people will do crazy things. I guess we will see who is telling the truth and who isn't. I honestly don't know.

    If all this is true, why has no one in the media picked up on any of it?

    This isn't the first time you've brought it up but I have yet to see the first report of improprieties in the media.

    Here's the tip of the iceberg from a huge article on ESPN from April. There is plenty more out there that this article doesn't even cover. If you believe nobody has picked up on it, you're not following very closely.

    In wake of Joe Paterno's death and Sandusky sex abuse scandal, a power struggle spread from Penn State to state capital - ESPN

    The story of how the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse case escalated into a Penn State and Joe Paterno scandal before a rapt national audience seems, in retrospect, a deceptively simple narrative.

    Like I said, it has turned into a complete $h!t show.

    In what sense - lemme guess - this is PSU fans face saving article???

    You PSU guys are reaching......so the Students must be flipping cars over again?....well only asian and indian students there on summer session so maybe just some M-80's going off, but no cow tipping in UnHappy Valley

    Nobody is trying to save face, and jive has been very outspoken on here against Paterno/PSU administrators/everyone involved, so I don't know why you're attacking him. And I have no idea what you're talking about with Asian and Indian students, but you clearly have never been to PSU during summer session. But please continue your rants about absolutely nothing of significance.

    So because I am saying that the governor has a role in this that means that I'm trying to "save face" for PSU? lol

    Ok bud. That's fantastic.
