Will Joe Paterno AND Penn State Football Both Die in 2012?

Because if there's one thing this circus needed, it's a fourth ring.

Why don't they save their money?  The only people who will believe the results of an investigation paid for by the family are the Paterno defenders who already believe that Paterno was ignorant of the whole thing.

I know nothing about this website, but it suggests the Dept of Education could make itself useful and do what the NCAA might not. How about it, Arne?

DPD. The comments will also make your brain melt and drain through your earholes.

The comments are beyond, ... beyond ...  I can't even come up with a comparison.

The Shiite wing of the Penn State fan base has been something to behold the last few months. Hoo boy.

Sandusky thinks, "shit, why didn't I do that?"

Hours of good, and by "good" I mean appalling" reading at Penn State's Rival board--here's one example of how someone proposes a punishment that would be grossly ineffective and not nearly enough and gets rebuffed by those who have OD'd on the blue and white kool-aid at least since they were old enough to be touched by Saundusky:

My favorite claims are "This is not a football issue" and "Sandusky was not a coach."

I'd argue that, technically, it isn't really a football issue. It's much, much bigger than that. It reached all the way to the university president and might include members of the Board of Trustees.

And the cover-up didn't start to protect the football team. It started to protect Joe Paterno's image. Reading the PSU messageboards it's clear that most of those folks are more concerned with clearing St. Joe than protecting the school or the football program. All that's missing is the Kool-Aid.

There's your first mistake.

Nuking the entire state would obviate the need to deal with any of PSU's bullshit at this point.

The University of Pittsburgh resents the inference.

We'll send ravens to the Land of Three Rivers to warn the townsfolk. They had best move swiftly.

I can't help it. It's like slowing down to look at a really bad traffic accident. I can't look away.

My new favorite: PSU should hire Hootie Johnson as its president, because Hootie would fix everything while giving the rest of the world the middle-finger.  Left unsaid, is that PSU would become an all-male school, even more lily-white, and admit fewer rich white guys than the Citadel.
