Penn St., showing the type of accountability and responsibility they're now known for, cancels Joe Paterno's presser.

HORRENDOUS crisis management move. Lying and/or running & hiding is the WORST thing an org can do in this situation.

Wow. They need to hire a PR firm quickly to do some damage control. I can't believe they've botched every statement and presser thus far. As I watched the AG's conference yesterday I was impressed by her PR skills and slide stepping the moral questions.

I was in Scranton Sunday-Monday and that was all townies were talking about and it was on TV the entire time ala OJ Trial. Sadly a lot of them still believe JoePa isn't at fault which blows my mind. To quote Pedro Serano from Major League Baseball 'you have no marbles'.

I'm friends with a current Penn State Footballer so I'm waiting to hear what his reaction will be.

My guess on Spanier:
1. Cancel press conference;
2. Fire/force Paterno to resign at the end of the season;
3. Administrative leave for McQueary;
4. Announce a thorough investigation by a third party that reports to the Board of Trustees;
5. Have press conference later in the week after taking steps 1-4; and
6. Try to ride it out for a bit.

And now Paterno won't even be doing the B1G Conference Call.
