Too Soon?

Yeah, I heard that McQuery (sp) saw him actually pass, right there in the hospital bed, he told the A.D. and the school president and still nothing has been confirmed, verified or even brought up.

I saw that Sandusky issued a statement yesterday. What the BLANK is wrong with this moron? Keep your fricken mouth shut you disgusting prick. You're one of the reasons he is dead.

From the article:

Sandusky is currently facing 52 criminal charges for the alleged sexual abuse of children -- charges that led to a blowup of the Penn State football program and the ousting of Paterno as head coach...

Yep, just shut up already.  My memory of JoePa is forever tarnished because of this sicko.  I really want to feel something for Joe's passing, but I can't - or maybe a better way to put it is I can't decide how I feel about it.  A year ago I would have definitely felt like sports and the world in general had lost a great, great man.  Now, I'm more "meh."

Oh, that's rich!!!!  Sandusky links himself forever to the dead man.  he makes it sound like they were all so close - and they probably were.  I'm not so sure Paterno's legacy really needed that "statement" from Sandusky!  :icon_biggrin:

sorry but Paterno earned his own stripes by not doing more....Sandusky is a disgusting monster...but Paterno tarnished his own reputation, and I am sorry I don't feel one bit of sympathy for Paterno....

I do feel for his family, but the guy lead a great life so I don't feel bad for him.
