Civilization is crumbling before our eyes. For the second time in less than a year, a CFB coach is accused of contact with another of a sexual nature. One or more were actually juveniles. Not that it's ok if they're adults. And two head coaches lose their jobs
because they were involved, no because they should've said something but didn't. Paterno is 84 somethin' years old. Been coaching longer than most of these people have been alive. Winning-est CFB coach of all time, with a was-gonna-be fine legacy to leave at a high profile place. Instead, he is fired. Not because he did nothing, but because he didn't do enough. What is that? Geez, what the hell is going on out there? Yes, Paterno needs to go, but that's like throwing a bucket of water on a raging house fire. AND, Penn State knew about it. Why isn't the board fired too? They are in charge if Paterno is. Paterno is gone, and into a dark cloud.
Jim Tressel lost his job last off-season for basically the same thing. What happened to truth and integrity and doing the right thing. What about the boys - and men - who are the victims. Money payoffs don't cut it. That's a lame attempt at legalized bribery. Their lives are upset at the least, ruined at the most. No money can fix that. Where are the leaders and coaches and fathers and colleagues. Somebody knew. I am tired of hearing about embarrassing reports on the sports reports. Get over yourselves, people. Get some help, or at least get out of the way. You deserve to be in a cold dark place for a long time.
Between the hoodlums in Manhattan, Oakland, etc, the fools in Congress trying to negotiate their way out of a debt hole, too many people trying to knock off a political foe, and these idiots, I don't know where to go for some sanity.
I think it will need to come from us.
