He should have had a lawyer a long time ago. He wants to talk and somebody finally convinced him that no matter what the story was he should shut the hell up.

Every time I try to even remotely sympathize with Joe Paterno, after saying something minutely sincere like I wish I had done more, or keep the victims in your prayers, he ends his statement with, Beat Nebraska! or We Are Penn State! Have you lost you fugging mind Joe?

And I know they aren't here reading this, but to the 3 students out of thousands who were at the riots last night and spoke to reporters and said you agreed with the firing, even while your peers were giving you poo for it, god bless you. Your parents raised you right and I pray that the other Penn State drones that were tipping over news trucks realize when they are a little older how horribly, horribly wrong they really are.

The biggest problem I had with that case was, if you thought the man was a child molester (as a parent), why would you let your son sleep at his home?

Yeah, see this is the second child molestation case against Jackson. The first one he payed some kid 15 million dollars to settle before it went to court in 1993. The 2004 case was botched by the prosecutors in Santa Barbara. Jackson is (was) a child molester.

You don't pay someone 15 million to hush when you're innocent. True, the second go around the parents were idiots to put their child in harms way.

This is the second child-molestation accusation brought against Jackson in the past 10 years. The previous criminal investigation in 1993, which was to be prosecuted by the same district attorney as this case, was stalled once the alleged victim settled an additional civil suit in 1994, affecting his willingness to cooperate with authorities. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed but were reported to be in the tens of millions.

I just really feel like we're going to find out that a lot of money and power was controlling this and it's going to get more disgusting and unbelievable as far as how wide-spread and accepted it was.

I doubt the murdered DA case will ever be solved, but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks his murder was a result of looking where he shouldn't have (too high up and at who knew and was involved). Explain to me how or why he didn't bring charges against Sandusky subsequently after the original investigation when Sandusky admitted to showering with boys to their mothers and apologized for it saying he wish he were dead and he knew he was wrong?

Why else would Sandusky not be charged and put away for that? Unless there was a culture that allowed for and accepted it. If the DA was intimidated into not pressing charges but big wigs felt he was a threat to the program and exposing them, bam, there you go.

This is the only way I could see how and why guys like Joe Paterno and McQueary would avoid trying to stop the guy - if they were outnumbered and severely outpowered.

And again, if you're innocent and knew nothing, as sad as this realization is to make, why is Joe Pa hiring a defense attorney?

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
