Bingo. This is smelling more and more like organized crime. Blackmail, extortion and coercion are their standard operating procedure. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Russian Mafia. They have no problem with using child prostitutes to make money and then shaking down their customers. You are probably right. This is going to make all the other sports scandals put together look like a square dance before its over.

I'm fairly jaded on this subject. I think that the quality of most peoples honesty depends on who is watching. I've seen far too many people whose actions are motivated by what others will think of them, not doing the right thing.

Sandusky Rumored to Have Been "Pimping Out Young Boys tor Rich Donors" by Michael Hurley on Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 6:12PM http://www.nesn.com/2011/11/jerry-sandusky-rumored-to-have-been-pimping-out-young-boys-to-rich-donors-says-mark-madden.html In April, Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden wrote a story revealing Penn State for much of the cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's alleged child rape that has been exposed in the past week. While it didn't raise many eyebrows back then, six months later it looks to be incredibly accurate. On Thursday morning, just hours after legendary head coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired by the school's board of trustees, Madden was asked on WEEI's The Dennis and Callahan Show what he believes the next piece of news will be. What he said was twice as shocking as anything that's been released thus far. "I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen," Madden told John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. "I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation -- and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can -- that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak." After the news spread, Madden later explained via Twitter why he went public with the rumors. "I normally abhor giving RUMORS credence," Madden wrote. "But whole Sandusky scandal started out as a RUMOR. It gets deeper and more disgusting all the time. One of state's top columnists investigating. That adds credence. I am NOT rumor's original source. [Why does] Sandusky deserve benefit of doubt?" Madden also spoke more definitively on Dennis and Callahan to the cover-up efforts at the school and beyond that he expects will be made public soon. "The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, and I talked about this in my original article back in April, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up," Madden said. "If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it? "My opinion is when Sandusky quit, everybody knew -- not just at Penn State," Madden added. "I think it was a very poorly kept secret about college football in general, and that is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55. [That's] young for a coach, certainly." ______________________________ This is the other shoe dropping. A large, nuclear shoe.

heard some new ones today: gargle the sausage hide the weasel

So it's like the evil doer terrorists that hate us for our freedom. The ends justify the means as long as a child/children are protected? Damn- that was Hillery's line: it's for the children. Goebbels said that you can pass any law as long as it's for the children. Funny that left and right both know that gag. So... we simply ignore the Constitution and due process so we can hang a pervert? What I'm getting at here is that we've seen this sort of thinking before: the Salem Witch Trials and more recently the detention of terror suspects without due process. We have also seen a lot of innocent people that were ground up and spit out by that process. This is the morality play of our day and congratulations, we all fail. We fail to see that we're being played. We are being force fed a diet of fear and we're swallowing it whole. Fear of terrorists, fear of WMDs, fear of crime, fear of drugs, fear of perverts, fear of climate change, fear of environmental destruction, fear of the oceans dying, fear of asteroids, fear of diseases, etc. ad nausea. With all that fear, what do we give up for security? Do we mind warrent-less wiretaps? How about arrests without probable cause? What about searches based on innuendo? Why don't we all just get a chip implanted in out butt so the government knows where we are and what we're doing at all times? Believe me when I say this: we are building a police state that none of us want to live with. As technology improves, it will only get more repressive. Someday- when its your turn to be questioned, will you have any rights at all? After all you were his neighbor/boss/coworker and he was molesting kids for years. You HAD to notice it. I bet you were his lookout! Off with your head pervert enabler!

You hear that a long time friend is a child molester. You have no first-hand knowledge of it. You don't entirely trust the source of the rumor or their motives. You DO NOT have 20/20 hindsight. The game is not chess. You do not see all of the pieces on the board. "Saying something" could get you sued and destroy a valued relationship. "Saying something" could mean that your long-time friend may face a media circus, a long trial and even if they are found not guilty irrevocable damage to their reputation. It could mean that they spend the rest of their life in prison or get murdered inside. If they get out they are branded a sex offender. Giving him the benefit of a doubt until you have more information also has consequences. Some states have mandatory child abuse reporting laws. Some institutions like boards of education and universities have policies. You could be fired in disgrace even if you follow the rules simply because you didn't "look good". So.. what do you do? It's supposed to be an easy answer until you look at the question very carefully.

This story is an Iceburg. You've only seen one tenth of it. They hope your righteous rage is sated by throwing a few poor slobs to the wolves. You aren't asking the right questions. Yes- the administration completely screwed the pooch on this one. What happened to Ray Gricar? He was the district attorney investigating Sandusky between 2002-2005 who disappeared. There's way more too this than a few administrators and coaches who just sat on the knowledge.

Universities are bureaucracies and bureaucracies have very specific ways of doing thing. They are rigid hierarchies and if you step outside that structure, you lose each and every time. Joe Paterno in his role of football coach was not even authorized to have a press conference without running it up the chain. People seem to think that he was the boss in this situation but it's just not the case. Although Coaches can have a great deal of influence, they are subordinate to the universities administration. Had he gone off half cocked and gone to the press, he would have done so as an individual that was not speaking for the University. Unsanctioned comments and statements have gotten more than a few coaches fired. (Ask Mike Lynch, former very successful coach at Texas Tech). Now- let's have a look at law enforcement: Ray Gricar was the district attorney that was first contacted about this case. He looked into what he had in 1998 and declined to prosecute. However- he did not dismiss Sandusky as a potential predator. He began seriously investigating Sandusky again in 2002 until he mysteriously vanished in 2005. That's what is being lost in this. There were powerful interests around the Penn States football program that had both National Championships and was called "Linebacker U" by professional pundits. This cover up had enough power and reach to make a district attorney disappear. There is much more going on here than meets the eye. I hope that the investigation is through and deep enough get at the truth and not just a few sacrificial individuals thrown under the bus.

Muzak by DeadMaus5! Turn it up bitch!

I prefer the QAS stereotype to the raging pussy stereotype.

It takes a degree of sophistication in football fans to appreciate a defensive slug out that you don't see outside the SEC. Both of those offensive units have been running up points in a conference that prides itself on the strength of its defense. Until they ran into each other, their ppg averages were in the thirties. Teams like Texas Tech and San Diego State may score a lot of points, but they never see defenses like Alabama or LSU. Period. Both of those defensive units could play on Sundays and still stop people.

All the scandals reminds me of John Milton in the Devil's Advocate: ..until the stench of it reaches so high and far into Heaven... ...it chokes the whole fucking lot of them! Either college football gets a major cleaning or we will see the death of it.

Penn State Scandal http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7203559/penn-state-nittany-lions-scandal-stuns-community Say it ain't so Joe.

OK- here's your badly constructed stereotypical network faggotry: the douche buckets from Modern Family Don't get me wrong. I'm not a gay basher. These two dip shits make me want to beat the gay out of them. Tell me they are not exploiting stereotypes to get a cheap laugh and reinforce peoples preexisting prejudices of gay men as fat, drunk and stupid. Drinkie-winkie indeed. What is your major malfunction numb-nutz!? Do you turn into a blithering idiot when the camera turns on or are you just acting like a jackass!?

Gay stereotypes are taking a beating these days. If you want to find gay men, go to the gym. They are the power-lifters. < whut are you lookin' at hippie!?

LSU and Bama was one for the ages. We may see a rematch of that game. They can't play each other for SEC championship because they are both in the Western Division. LSU is the SEC champion unless somebody from the Eastern division can beat them (unlikely). Alabama has yet to play Auburn but they don't have the horses this year. The Okies must have been really pissed about losing to TTech- they raped A&M like a drunken school girl.

We need a keen military tactician to handle our assets in these troubled times. Our ninja cats need good leadership. Flying cats armed with Gatling guns form our most feared shock troops. And the dogs of war deserve a competent leadership.

All of these math retards give me strength. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

We need an uber- furhrer. Sorta like the Gay Pope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skHsY483XO0 I James Savik if nominated will serve. I'd rather not though. It would interfere with my busy schedule of sleeping late. Please post your nominations for Gay Uber-Furhrer! We shall smash our opponents with pink panzers!

In France during WWII many gay people were part of the French Resistance (called the Marquis in rural areas). One very well connected gay Parisian who worked on the trains and acted as a courier between cells was captured and tortured to death by the Gestapo without betraying any of his contacts. Young gay men were also used as assassins. They would get picked up by Nazi officers, go off to have a tryst and kill them.

That's cuz you follow those yankee girls schools

Game of the year: LSU vs Alabama Tigers and elephants and moonshine, OH MY!

I stand corrected. It's happened twice in a country of four hundred million. Everybody shit your pants!

I only count one incident and one victim. Admittedly, that's one too many but I wouldn't exactly call it a "trend".

As far as maritime disasters go, Titanic may be famous and get all the good press, there have been plenty of them with many, many lives lost. Here are a few that may not have been as famous. On 7 May 1915 the German U-20 torpedoed and Sank the RMS Lusitania. She sank in less than 18 minutes and took 1,198 of the 1,959 souls on board with her. She sank 11 miles short of Kinsdale, Ireland where corpses of men, women and children floated ashore by the hundreds for days. It was a public relations disaster for Germany. It was such an atrocity that the sinking contributed mightily to the United States entering the war. HMS Invincible was a new breed of warship when she was launched in 1905. She was quite different from than the heavily armored and slow battleships of the day. She was a battle cruiser- a design that trades armor for speed with the same armament of a battleship. Invincible paid a heavy price for having light armor. At the Battle of Jutland on May 30, 1916 she was hit by high caliber shells from the German battle cruisers Lutzow and Derfflinger and her magazines exploded. 1026 men were killed and there were only six survivors. In addition to Invincible, the battle cruisers Queen Mary and Indefatigable had magazine explosions and sank with heavy loss of life (over 2000) leading Admiral Beatty to utter the famous line: "Chatfield, there seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today." On Oct. 14, 1939 the German U boat ace Gunther Prien in the U-47 penetrated the fleet base at Scapa Flow and sank the British battleship Royal Oak as she sat at anchor. It was the first major warship lost by the Brits in WWII an a horrible blow to morale. 833 sailors were killed including a group of 100 trainees who were not yet 18 years old. Gun camera footage from HIMS Aboa shelling the USS Quincy. In the early morning hours of Aug. 9, 1942 a fleet of US cruisers and destroyers were protecting the transports that were landing the 1st Marine Division on the island of Guadalcanal- the first US offensive of the Pacific war. Japan responded by sending a task force of cruisers and destroyers that arrived around 0100 and caught the US/Australian fleet completely by surprise. The Japanese were able to close range and destroy the Astoria, Quincy and Vincennes and the Australian cruiser Canberra. The USS Chicago was heavily damaged. It was the worst beating the US navy ever took in a fair fight. Over a thousand US and Australian sailors were killed. The US Navy and War Department did not officially announce the loss until almost a year later. Many newspaper men at the time knew the truth but refused to print the story.
