Well, not that Urban is some prize, but what young lady could have wanted JoePa? He looked like a goblin from the Harry Potter movies.
Not surprising. It appears the media was aware of the tickle monster as well but never investigated or reported. It took a courageous young lady (Sarah Ganim) who was likely too naïve to know what she was getting herself into when she started her investigation and too under the radar to get shut down. Otherwise Jerry might still be victimizing kids on PSU property.
And let’s not forget that most of her research on Sandusky and interviews with survivors came when she was employed by the Centre Daily Times (local State College paper). The paper is so in bed with PSU that it wouldn’t publish her expose so she went to Harrisburg.
It is obvious this whole media plot to undermine Paterno and the Penn State model started in 1978....and was a covert activity to continue to erode at their success despite it being honorable unlike other schools. I mean, it is unbelievable the media would spend 44 years tearing down what Joe built by having patsies like Hodne, Chesley and Sandusky.
The coach who recruited both of them remembers Hodne as a good kid: "If he wasn't a good kid, we wouldn't have brought him to Penn State."... in a story about a jailed sexual predator. Their arrogance and sickening self-righteousness has no bounds...Disgusting. No surprise they hired Franklin, since he had experience calling victims and trying to smooth things over. Must be a head coaching requirement there.
Before Jerry Sandusky, Penn State football had another serial sexual predator. This is the untold story of his crimes and the fight to bring him to justice.
When Jerry Sandusky's crimes came to light in 2011, the world thought it was the first time Joe Paterno and Penn State had faced a serial sexual predator in their midst. But that was not the case. This is the story of the predator who had come before.www.espn.com
On the flip side, it could be even more accurately noted that the story was kept buried on purpose, until he died so it wouldn’t have, ahem, ruined his weekend.
Funny you should bring that up. I found this nugget in the article:
I'm not going over there but how can anyone say Joe did the right thing ??? The man was pure scum and a fraud.
I never go over there. I couldn’t care less if I tried. Besides, we all know what most of them will say anyway….
There's a quote in the article [paraphrasing here] - "we had kids with no problems who got straight A's...."
There was a report that came out during the Ped State scandal when Sandusky was being charged that Second Mile kids were being pimped out to wealthy Ped State alums. Unfortunately there are a lot of skeletons in the Ped State closet.
They should do a Netflix series on all the Ped State crimes that were swept under the rug while Paterno was in charge.
You don’t even have to go over there. The Ped State deniers are here.
It is almost like watching the kinfolk in West Virginia that have no cable or Internet services. Enabler U fans are very very unique.
You sound like you need professional help… consider getting some
You Nitters are all alike. You, Zeigler, Sandusky, Paturdo, Spanier, Hodne all pretty much the same person. My brother is a Nitter. I loved him as is required for a brother, but I never really would leave him alone with my children when they were younger. You should be required to wear an ankle bracelet and stay at least 200 metres from any school or park.
A story that has been repeated a thousand times. Otherwise bright, seemingly good people caught up in the cult of Joe. Many people in the central PA area still are in denial. I have people in my family like that as well and it is easy to find people in that area still clinging to conspiratorial theories to avoid a reality that undermines what they put so much personal capital into believing and supporting for so many years.
Paco, in the last decade or so..... I think we can say: A story that has been repeated a thousand times. Otherwise bright, seemingly good people caught up in the cult of <insert demagogue here>.
Many similar stories of friction within the families of those who had siblings or parents in the Peoples Temple at Jonestown...
That was a disconcerting post. Heaven knows there have been a significant number of bad Pitt losses, coaching fiascos and such. The news of those have never caused me to not be able to function normally in everyday activities, as was described by that poster about his brother. It explains a good bit about the toxic PSU culture.
Oh, c’mon now. This is all stuff being instigated by fans of other schools due to “envy and jealousy” of the nits and JVP, don’tcha know? Just another “witch hunt” (to quote Saint Joe). 😏
Yep and writing for an Altoona newspaper was pretty much the bottom of a journalist's aspirations.
