CMJ, get over yourself. Joe Pa would've never been afraid of what you describe as a "massive PR hit". Ridiculous. The guy's such a winner, you think turning in a pedophile would damage him or Penn State? Joe did the right thing in reporting what was reported to him to his boss. The rules are the rules, and there are people who are in charge of enforcing those rules, and investigating claims of wrongdoing, and it's not the head football coach. That's when lawyers get involved. Lawyers and committees to discuss forming committees on when to have a meeting on topics to discuss committee agendas for the committe meetings.
Go write something stupid about Jerry Sandusky, not Joe Paterno. Pathetic.
