You must be angry, you said "fukking", really dude? When did I ever say Joe was the same as "common folk"? A bunch of people on this site love to put words in your mouth and also like to sensationalize. Give it a rest, this is a "fukking" basketball message board, get over yourself.
Sure to piss off Ball & all his alts.....

I'm hardly angry. I have even mentioned multiple times that the entire PSU community shouldn't have to pay the price for a few. Of all the people coming at you in this thread I have been at least reasonable if you look at it from the side of a PSU fan. I'm sorry, but expect better than he told administrators. C'mon, brother. You seem sharper than this.
And you try to get them off, boy what a saint you are. Anything for a buck I suppose, kind of what you are saying about JoePa, you are not much different. Besides, no one forces you to defend these people. You could have chosen another profession.
Classic Cwertz/PSU - attack the profession and the guy calling out Sacred Joe. Looks like balls Twitter acct will be attacked soon. Amazing.
The whole "Joe Pa did what he was legally supposed to do" thing is what sickens me the most. As if this guy doing the absolute bare minimum someone in that situation should do somehow makes him honorable. It reminds me of Chris Rock talking about people who are proud of their selves for not being in jail or for taking care of their kids.
On another level, it reminds me of the people who defended George Zimmerman cause of him working within the constraints of the law. Reprehensible human beings who are somehow supposed to be respected by the general public because their actions did not specifically violate vague rules written on paper. Human beings should be smarter than this. When your only defense of person's character is a technicality, you are just reaching

I'm saying Joe Pa is a bad person, not you. I don't get why you would put yourself on someone's side who's decision making was so questionable - what's the point?
I know what you are saying. I did not even defend Joe Paterno in this entire thread. All I said is, I believe the wins should not have been taken away. You did say this in your last paragraph, "When your only defense of person's character is a technicality, you are just reaching". I could be wrong but I assume this was meant for me. If so, it means you did not read the entire thread. I only said the wins should not be taken away and the usual suspects jumped on that to mean I support child rape. The legal comments only came because ball made inaccurate statements and I was simply correcting him.
Fair enough - it appears I lost context throughout the thread.
That was meant for you, but I don't think saying someone is reaching is anywhere near an insult.
i get particularly flustered by this situation when it gets broken down into " Joe did what he was supposed to according to protocol". It genuinely disturbs me to hear that. When it comes to sexual assault, it is our duty as human beings to do everything we can to prevent it. I'm not saying you are one of those people, but there are a lot of them in this case
Haven't read through this entire thread so will gladly accept a BB2N if it's been mentioned: if you have not yet read the Deadspin comment section on this story please do. Some of the most hilarious, evil genius comments ever. My favorite was a comment (I'm paraphasing), I thought 4'09 was in honor of the victim's height at the time of the abuse. My second favorite, 409, what is used to clean the shower at PSU after Sandusky is finished.
In closing, question for the newsgroup:, in light of the new story in what seems lke the now weekly cheating by the Patriots, who is more disgusting with a blatant disregard of any moral fiber: PSU fans who still worship JoePa or the Patriots Organization?

Good question. I think it comes down to whether you think using a few slightly deflated footballs in a rout is on the same par as raping a 10 year old boy and covering it up to win a few football games. It's close.
