Very strange, BUT the missing DA has been missing for over 5 years now, and was recently declared legally dead. Does not appear to be a byproduct of this past weeks unfortunate news and events.

Probably killed himself b/c of guilt, or was offed.

It's a shame that this is going to take down "Coach Joe." He's one of the best men in the sport today.

He's always had a great affirmative action program at Penn State. Several years back, he got one athlete who was a great ball player, but whose grades were less than good.
Being the great man he was, he told him, "If you can answer the following three questions, I'll let you play football for me."

1) How many days in the week start with the letter "T"?
2) How many seconds are there in a year?
3) How many "D's" are there in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"?

"Go home and think about this over the weekend, and on Monday, if you can answer correctly, you make the team."

Bubba comes back on Monday, and Coach Joe asks..."Do you have the answers I wanted?"

Bubba says, "Yessir...I think so."

"Ok," Coach Joe says, "How many days in the week start with the letter "T"?"

Bubba looks at him and says, "Two."

Coach Joe is pleased...until Bubba continues..."Today and Tomorrow."

"Hmm," Coach Joe says..."I'll give you that one on a technicality."

"Next question, how many seconds are there in a year?", Coach Joe asks.

"That one was tough Coach, but I finally got it," says Bubba. "There are twelve seconds in a year."

"TWELVE?", asks Coach Joe, "How did you get that number?"

"Easy coach, second of January, second of February, second of March...and so on," Bubba replies.

Coach Joe scratches his head, and admits that Bubba is right...sort of.

"Alright Bubba. Last question. How many "D's" are in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?" Coach Joe asks.

"Coach, that one threw me all weekend. I thought I was going to have to give up...but this morning, it came to me. The answer is 2,342."

Coach Joe jumps out of his chair in astonishment. "Where the hell did you get THAT number? Are you stupid?", he asks Bubba.

"No sir, I ain't stupid. It dun took me a while to count them all, but "ded-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee...."

Bubba suited up for practice that afternoon.

that's fucked up

The grand jury report said McQueary was in the locker room that night to put away some new sneakers when he heard “rhythmic, slapping sounds” and looked into the showers.

He reportedly saw a naked boy, about 10 years old, with his hands against the wall as Sandusky subjected him to anal sex. *THIS IS WHERE YOU CALL THE COPS* McQueary left immediately and first contacted his father before calling Paterno the next morning and then meeting at Paterno’s home.

Agreed. It's a shame that such a legacy and iconic figure in college football has this stuck at the end of his career.

That is currently up for debate. Great men don't let these horrific things go on under their watch. He did. Great coach? Yes. Great man? We'll see.

Yeah, I want to hear the excuse as to why that guy's penis was in that boy's anus that fooled him. It must be a humdinger.

I can give two craps about his legacy at this point. I'm as big a sports fan as anyone but this issue transcends all of that. This is about morality and humanity.

pretty much.

This kind of thing is capable of erasing any other mention of a single man's supposed greatness. Whatever he did before is pretty much tarnished.

It's a shame..or is it?

The "dee-dee-dee" bit is just mimicking humming the song, with each "dee" representing a note. Think of the end of Pearl Jam's "Black" where Eddie Vedder is just singing "doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-de-dooooo" ad nauseum.

The biggest problem I have with that is that there is NO WAY there are 2,000+ notes in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer unless there are like 25 verses I don't know about. Was the kid listening to an Iron Butterfly cover version?

-EDIT- Well now the thread's been merged and I feel like an ass for commenting on the trivial joke rather than the very serious allegations of child rape. So, yeah, Paterno should retire regardless of how he handled this situation. Everyone involved who let the abuses continue should face some sort of penalty (losing a cushy job is a pretty big penalty, to be fair), and the guy who did it should be in jail forever.

The rumor going around now is that Mike McQueary is no longer with the team.

You guys almost act like he was the one one blowing kids in a shower stall or offering them candy to lure them in there.

Unfortunately the rules of engagement in very large/famous institutions or companies are much different than the rest of the non-headline organizations. He likely followed the process that was driven into his head to go through administration and let them follow through. Going directly to the cops would put the name of the institution too much at stake so the university compliance/legal department would be the ones doing most of the lifting. If you want to blame the brakedown on the entire administration, then fine.

But holding one old guy accountable for the horrendous acts of another is pretty weak. And I do think it's said that who thing is going to be the last chapter in an otherwise incredible career.
