This is a strange week in the works. One of the most important and well liked coaches in college sports gets fired for doing the right thing. While the man who saw the crime in progress keeps his job.
The media should be very proud of themselves, taking down a legend. A man who has done nothing but great things for Penn Sate and who has the most wins as a coach in college football history. A man who with his wife has done more for children in the State then anyone in the history of the State. A man who without coaching will be dead before the next calender year.
The Media took it on their moral high brow to bury a man for doing his job. Never mind the many, many, many men who became MEN while playing for this man. The high graduation rate and clean program. Fuck that! He heard a story and took it to his higher ups. As a state employee who got paid far less then any other coach who won 2 national championships.
Joe Paterno made 500,000 a year and was and still is loved by the kids that go to Penn state and who went to Penn state. The media has decided that he himself raped young boys even though he got rid of that cancer in 1998. Oh you must know this. The criminal was gone in 1998 and had nothing to do with the program in 2002. Somehow the media and I mean all of the media. The ones who cheat on their wives and drink all night and have the moral high brow of assholes who dine for free and dig to dig.
The truth has nothing to do with this story. If the truth had anything to do with this then Joe Paterno would be graded on doing everything he was legally, morally and ethically to do. There would be one person in the media who would stand up and be heard but that is not the case here. Someone to say, gee, Joe heard a story and did what you are taught to do since childhood and report the story to your boss or higher ups. Joe is 84 years old and since he was a small boy, he was told that if you hear of a crime then you tell your bosses that there might be a problem. If Joe had seen the crime he would have went to the police. Oh that is right Joe did not see the crime.
The man who saw the crime and did not go to the police still has his job. Joe was such a tool in all of this and protected his friend that he sat on the information and did not report his friend. Oh wait he did what he had to do. It did not matter who it was. That is right he also did all he could with the grand jury and spoke of what he was told. The media would have you believe that there was silence and he protected a friend. HE DID NOT!!!
The media, the same media that said Vick was an animal and should and would never play football again. That media who compliments Vick know because he can run, throw and lead grown men on the football field. The media who can ruin a 84 year old man who did lead men and who did make sure that every player who crossed his path for 61 years was a far better person for having Joe Pa enter their lives. Fuck all of that. Joe did what anyone would do and report the story to the people in power, and the people who were going to make sure that the criminal was taken care of.
Of course that is, since we are all innocent till proven guilty. Since charges were never brought after an investigation in 1998 why would Joe think any different when he heard nothing of it this time?
Media! You should all be ashamed. Everyone of you who jump on your moral bus. I have children as a matter of fact I have a 21 year old boy and girl. Both would have been around the same age as when this took place. I would never put the blame on the coach. I feel sick when thinking of this. I have read the transcripts and they are very bad. At no point would I blame the Coach, who did not see the act. I would not blame the man who saw the act. I would blame the man who did the act. Gee novel idea.
So easy to go after the 84 year old man who is the lightening rod. So easy to cast blame without knowing exactly what the coach did. I would have stood behind the man who made men better and made sure that my child would graduate school while playing sports. I would have stood behind a coach and his wife who donated their time, money and knowledge to special needs children and countless other child charities.
This really sounds like a man with no ethics or morals. Look at the entire man and his story, rather then what you the media thinks is what you would have done or not done in any situation. PATHETIC.
The other odd thing this week, while a great man gets torn down another man who proved to be a pig is leading a golf tournament across the world. The media loves Tiger and kills Joe Pa. Good job you pricks.
Back to normal we did have a very nice winning selection on the Oakland Raiders tonight. We took the 8 and won the game outright. I must have no morals for betting on sports. Or do have no morals because I charge for my work? I would hate to see how I would be judged by the media.
I am a good father, husband{which at one point I was not} and a really good handicapper. Sports and horses. I am sure because I do this for a living that I would not be judged well by today's media. I would not be what the media would think was a dead beat or scumbag because I do things in another way. It would not matter that it is legal or that I work a good 50 to 60 hours a week doing what I do.
Have a great day.
