Paterno Family Trying To Unring The Sandusky Bell

((HT: WHP-TV/ESPN))

It is all carefully staged at this point...

The first salvo was the Sue Paterno open letter trying to explain who her late husband, Joe, really was...


Now, before Sue Paterno gives, what surely will be, an emotional interview with Katie Couric...
ESPN has timed and cooperated with an embargo of a report co-authored and researched by former Pennsylvania Governor Dick Thornburgh (among others) who addressed the self-thought of "holes and inaccuracies" in the Freeh Report...


To refute, somewhat, coach Paterno could probably have issues spelling the word e-mail- much less understanding what it is and how to use it within the Penn State system. If Freeh anointed himself "judge, jury, and executioner" then the issues are to be with the university for signing off on the conclusions- not Freeh or the NCAA.

The issues should be resolved with the school as the family tries to reclaim what's left of a tattered reputation.

The family's full report, courtesy, of ESPN is hyah...


Part of Freeh's response to the Paternos says:


Mr. Paterno was on notice for at least 13 years that Sandusky, one of his longest serving assistants, and whose office was steps away, was a probable serial pedophile. Mr. Paterno was aware of the criminal 1998 investigation into Sandusky's suspected child sexual abuse. Indeed, the evidence shows that Mr. Paterno closely followed that case. Later, in 2001, another one of his assistants, Mr. McQueary, directly reported to Mr. Paterno that Sandusky was sexually abusing a young boy in Mr. Paterno's Penn State football locker room. The evidence shows that Mr. Paterno purposefully ignored this evidence.

So, to the Paternos, good luck in your Pee-Ahr campaign. It will be interesting to see how many of us outside of State College buy what you're selling...

Especially tomorrow...
