While they're at it maybe they can find out who really killed Nicole and Ron since the Juice is unable to complete his honorable mission.

Tough question. But it appears with all the evidence that has surfaced it is tough fight it. I may have hired my own investigation but I don't know if I would have went on ESPN and discount everything in the Freeh report and made myself look like an idiot. Had he not done that and just announced he was hiring his own investigators just to satisfy his own curiosity along with his family then I might have understood. His problem is there are so many people around him, the Penn State community, that want the Paterno's exonerated. Image how happy everyone would be if evidence came out that Paterno had some mental illness that started back in 1998 that clouded his judgment. They want to find some way, anyway, to justify why Paterno help cover this up and have the blame pushed elsewhere.

Good post. I just think people are a little quick to vilify Jay Paterno. At least as far as we know he wasn't involved in the cover up. Of course I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out he was.

And I saw his interview on ESPN and he certainly came across as though he was in complete denial.

Do you really blame him for going to great lengths to try to prove his Father's innocence? I know that's what I'd be doing if I did in fact think my father was innocent, and unless I had first hand knowledge that he wasn't I'd probably be a little biased.

Not trying to defend Jay Paterno here but I can (sorta) see where he's coming from.

EDIT: Just as a disclaimer, I have not actually read the report so if it's 100% clear that Paterno did in fact cover things up, and there's no way that Freeh could have distorted facts then I retract my statement.

Jay has every right to defend, and or say whatever he wants. At the same time, it seems like he wants to ignore certain facts about what his father knew, and replace them by saying his dad didn't do anything wrong. Not only that, but then he wants everyone to just believe him because he and his dad say so.....

I would have a real problem though personally if this was my dad. I would know for a fact that he did know what happened in 1998, and why Jerry was forced to retire in 1999. I would know that my dad knew what happened in 2001 when McQuerry came to him, and I would know that he didn't do anything at that point either. I can't fathom for the life of me as to what would make Joe just bury his head on this thing?

Either way Jay has the right to say what he wants, but at the same time, I don't have to believe a word he says.....
 
The family will come back and say, it was the AD and Prez fault because that is where the buck stops. "Even if dad recommended something the top level folks make the final decision and they got it wrong", so leave our father alone.

What a crock.

The problem I have with the talk of JoePa being made a fall guy. By definition the "fall guy" takes all the blame so others can get off without punishment. The Freeh report did not exonerate the other 3 primary parties it simply lumped JoePa in with them and the Paterno family did not like this.

Too bad it is time to stop trying to spin the fairy tale as no one will buy the fantasy anymore.

Paid for by PSU. Threw the four guys under the bus. One of them dead. Three already thrown under the bus.

I'm not defending any of them by the way. I just know how our BOR works, so there could be a little something there.

It is encouraging that they paid for this. It is also encouraging, that allegedly, at least two of the BOT get it.

The members of the BOT that allegedly said the statute would never some down should resign immediately. Never is a long time. never means they aren't open mined.

I could argue keeping it up until after the grand jury investigation is completed. Barely argue that. But to say never? Pretty revealing.
