I really gave Joe the benefit of the doubt with all this but after seeing the report it looks like he was a main character in the cover up. I have been very surprised by all the comments online on new stories of people still defending him like oh its not that bad his good stuff cancels it out. This attitude is what is responsible for the cover up in the first place.

It wasn't Nike as much as it was their CEO. I doubt Phil Knight would have done this.

I dunno, I think the staff would really get a kick out of all the jokers coming in and asking for children to rape. And also if they have any showers on site available for those who want to rape quickly and then be on their way.

I think any business executive would realize a name change was required.

JoePa was definitely the smartest person tied to the Sandusky scandal. He had the good sense to die when it all blew up.

"...may be the butt of..." I see what subby did there.

I'll admit when I saw that on the news last night here I laughed. They were asking for people's reactions at the downtown Nike store. After watching some interviews I was reminded there are many very stupid people in this world and they don't all hang out in the Politics tab.

Sandusky is sitting in jail all pissed off that Paterno was holding out on him.

"He had more kids available?!"

I am not trying to rub salt in the wound but I am genuinely curious how you didn't think he was involved? It seemed to me it was obvious he was involved from the beginning. Do you think you had a prejudice because you were a fan of the team?

PowerSlacker: Phil Knight can't backtrack from his man love of Joe Paterno fast enough...

FTFA :
But on Thursday, Knight released a statement saying: "Throughout Joe Paterno's career, he strived to put young athletes in a position to succeed and win in sport but most importantly in life. Joe influenced thousands of young men to become better leaders, fathers and husbands. According to the investigation, it appears Joe made missteps that led to heartbreaking consequences. I missed that Joe missed it, and I am extremely saddened on this day. My love for Joe and his family remains."

Snarkers can't comment without reading the story fast enough.

To be fair, he could've titled that book "Gallimaufry; A Tale of Leviathan Minutiae" or something equally random and we'd find a way to make wisecracks about it.

Maybe they should rename it the Jerry Sandusky Small Penis Masturbation Center and put a sign at the front walk that the main entrance is in the rear.

After this while scandal keeps giving and giving, I have to wonder if the guys that make Sandusky brand office furniture are pondering a rebranding.

Naming the childcare center after Peyton Manning would be a great idea if for no other reason than it'll give us all a laugh remembering that United Way commercial.

This whole story i one of the worst things (probably the worst) thing I've heard in sports. Come on NCAA, how come players selling jerseys worse than pedophilia? Absolutely disgusting.
