PSU showers wrote: You do some research. Joe Paterno kept Sandusky from being arrrested for over 30 years. After the showerroom incident Paterno had a meeting at his house with the AD and the President of Penn State and told them to shut up, giving Sandusky free reign to rape at least a dozen little boys.
You're a Patero loving LOSER.
Your response is typical of the masses that have formed inflexible and subjective opinions based upon the superficial "investigations" irresponsibly churned out by mainstream media outlets. I get it; most people are simply too lazy to dig deeper, and you apparently are among this particularly dim slice of lemmings.
For example, I don't know where you got the idea that Paterno met with Curley and Spanier at his house to reach a pact of silence, but that notion completely lacks fact and truth. Neither the Freeh report nor any news agency (reputable or otherwise) reported such a thing. If you didn't make this up yourself, you simply believed it without seeking any further substance or corroboration.
My guess is that you'll be too lazy and/or stubborn to read this, but here is a recent article written by an objective and unpaid researcher regarding last year's completely false media revelations that "Joe Knew" as far back as 1976. (For the record, I believe the author is too soft in his references to Sandusky's crimes, specifically, but his exposure of the inaccurate accusations against Paterno is spot-on.) Read and learn:

When will all you myopic Paterno bashers rise to take down the Catholic cult?
