Freeh lashes out at PSU culprits and cult

[Hailpitt]

Relevant excerpts:
"Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Timothy Curley were the most powerful men who ran the Pennsylvania State University. Today, they are convicted criminals. And Joe Paterno’s once iconic legacy is forever marred by his own decision to do nothing when he had the chance to make a real difference."


"Barron and a coterie of ‘Paterno denier’ board members, alumni, cult-like groups such as Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, a former professional football player, and certain elected state political hacks, have been nothing but apologists for Paterno, Spanier, Schultz and Curley, more concerned about bringing back a bronze statue than worrying about the multiple child victims who have forever been so grievously harmed on the PSU campus. Barron can do one last good act of service to PSU by resigning, and taking along with him board members like Anthony P. Lubrano and Albert L. Lord, who have no vision for PSU except a ‘rear-view’ one."

Good lord. That had to feel good for Freeh to write that, but it was also gutsy. If Freeh lived within a few hours horse ride from State College, there would be a massive posse of men in hoods with hanging rope quickly galloping toward his house right now.

Wow, I'm surprised that he said this. Certainly didn't pull any punches. Maybe we should have him do the coin toss when the nitters play in Heinz in 2018.

Wow. That quote sounded more like a Panther-Lair post.

Sounds like the comments from any non-brainwashed human being that has the faintest clue what happened and is happening there.

Unfortunately, we don't have the guts. Can't wait until they're off the schedule.

That's what I was thinking. I guess Mr. Freeh saw enough of them first hand. The Brutal Truth.

There really needed ... needs ... to be a Death Penalty for the program. It was ... is ... cultural. These individuals were merely those who were in charge at the time. But the people there today would act the same way.

PSU Inc. gets the last laugh. A conspiracy to cover-up child rape to protect the football program got them to miss 2 minor bowl games and a few lost scholarships. What a joke.

I really believe that right now, both PSU and Baylor should get the death penalty. 2 years, no football. We shouldn't stand for this as a society. Any cover-up like this to protect a sports team has got to be harshly punished. And to be honest, 2 years without football for what they did is a pretty mild punishment.

 

[Revenge Of The Noise]

And to be honest, 2 years without football for what they did is a pretty mild punishment.

A whole cycle of undergrads needs to go through those schools without the sport to hope to put a dent in the culture. So, a minimum 4, and in this era of taking longer to graduate, likely 5 or 6 years.

Those crybaby whimps would again cry about how they're "offended". Maybe it would anger them enough to threaten to stop bringing their trash to Pittsburgh.

That is brilliant! And have McGruff the Crime Dog there as a public service announcement for everyone to report crime when they see it! Honour 911 dispatchers during a TV time-out. That would be incredible.

Wow-that is hard core! Can't believe it didn't get more national press. It's as though the world has completely moved on what went on there, PSU wins the Rose Bowl and it's all forgotten. This honestly has to be the worst and ugliest institutional scandal in the history of college sports.

Uhh ......Ped St was beaten in the RB.

Exactly, it sounds like a response from any sensible human being who is not part of that brain washed cult up there.

Unfortunately the correct word was "needed". Look, when PSU took the sanctions, they did so with that Lion tail completely entrenched between its legs. Then a funny thing happened. Somehow, they (PSU) actually made themselves out to be the victims, and the humility you thought might have been learned/gained went completely out the window. And the NCAA caved.

In hindsight, yes, the death penalty, 3 years should have been given to Penn State. Now look what they created? "WE ARE" is stronger than ever. Along with the refusal to admit and denial that anything wrong happened.

 

[pittdan77]

Freeh knows what he didn't have enough information on to publish and what he wasn't allowed to say out loud because he was working for the BOT. Use that as context for what he said.

 

[m1m2murphy]

my god he hit the nail on the head about the crazy cult.

 

[ncyajleel]

Freeh sounds pissed, with good reason. I wonder how much harassment he and his team had to endure from the cult.
