notice i have already stated that i am playing devil's advocate here...does anyone on this board know what i mean by that? what i am stating is not of my personal opinion, but that of collective arguments i have read in paterno's defense. there is no obvious defense in this case as all of the arguments have shown it's even a slam dunk case for the monday morning quarterback to prosecute; anyone in their right mind can see what was going on here and paterno probably knew about this crap going on the day that sandusky stepped on campus. these were all arguments that i have heard defending joe paterno and my thoughts were the same exact thing as yours. yes, i do lack experience in the world, i don't have kids, and that probably is what allows me to play devil's advocate in this situation. think about what a defense attorney does on a daily basis to actually try and keep a rapist or a murderer from going to prison...it's not a popular thing to do but someone has to do it.

i'm sorry if you all think i'm an idiot and that's fine by me, but i played the game, got the reaction i was expecting, and got a bunch of ideas for a paper that i'm writing. if you think i honestly had those opinions then believe what you want to i'm not going to stop you it's a free country and you're all grown men entitled to your own opinion. now let's worry about more important things like the game that is happening tomorrow i'm sure we could all use the time away from this crap.
