So why didn't this McQueary guy beat the living shit out of the ********* on the spot?
Seriously.....why would you send your kid to play there with that kind of crap going on?
I hope Joe Pa does not catch the brunt of this. A great man like him should not go down for the wrong doing of someone else. Obviously they were friends and colleagues. None of us would want to believe that someone that close to us was doing something like that. Especially not at the word of a graduate assistant. He did more than many of us would have done in that situation. You can try to be holier than thou art and act like you would do more in that situation, but you are lying to yourself and everyone else. What Sandusky did is unforgivable. He should be locked up for the rest of his life, but Paterno did not do these things and his legacy should not be effected by what he did not do. Nobody should go to the police with baseless allegations against a good friend. Think of friends you have had all of your life. Would you believe a young guy you barely know over them? People need to put this into perspective.

How do you sleep at night witnessing something like that and turning a blind eye?
Even if he reported it to JoePa the following morning? How could he just walk away?
I'd be on suicide watch if I had left after making eye with a ten year old boy who was just begging for help silently....
thats my biggest question. The perv would have left that shower on a stretcher if i had witnessed it.
That was my point. You're a grown man and witness this and your "action" is to tell someone else. Not beat the living heck out of the ********* and then drag his carcass to the police?
I would not have beaten the living shit out of Sandusky right then and there. I would have grabbed the kid, wrapped him in a towel, knocked Sandusky aside and left with the kid. The child had seen enough and witnessed enough at that point. An additional bloody assault was the last thing he needed. Now later...........when I had plenty of time to make it last........I would have taken care of the rest of that, jut not in front of a kid who had already seen too much.
Rumors are that he is out on Sunday after one last home game. Be and all involved (McQueary) will be on a "leave of absence" for the rest of the season.
In the offseason a complete washdown will occur.
Smart, it had NOTHING to do with the program until the cover up.
All programs cover things up but it's football things... not kids being sodomized.
If JoPa had done something immediately and saved future victims it wouldn't be a blemish on the program. Bad people blend in with society until they don't. You just say how completely appalled you are at the actions and how surprised you are at the behavior. You STOP HIM.
It's a program issue now because they let other kids get raped.

I'm not sure that is true in this ESPN era. There would have been nonstop coverage of the Penn State sex abuse case, and it would have presented a negative association about the school's football program. Should JoePa have told the authorities? Absolutely, he should have. At the same time, he passed on the responsibility of dealing with the punishment of a close friend to his boss. That was the correct action at the time. When it became clear that Tim Curley wasn't doing anything, that was when JoePa should have acted. Remember, though, that this means pretty much ending the livelihood of two of his best friends.
Should he have done it? Yes. Did they deserve it? Yes. Does that mean that it is easy to do, or that all or even most coaches would have done it? No, it doesn't. Paterno screwed up here and ruined one of the greatest legacies of all time. That said, his actions were not anywhere near equivalent to Curley and the University President, so I don't know why he is being grouped with them.
