    In either case, why wait 1.5 weeks to ask him about it?

    FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, ESPN needs to stop showing and interviewing Matt Millen. He thinks he is being objective re. his opinions on JoePa(despite the fact he played for the coach and is on the board of Sandusky's charity along with JoePa) but he is not coming off well in my opinion.

    In all fairness to ESPN, Matt Millen never comes of well in anything he does

    I bet you Matt Millen heard about the rumors years ago.

    It really is for nearly everybody on this board except for you - even without hindsight.

    Credible evidence of ongoing child sexual abuse (which they found credible, which is why they banned him from the locker room) outweighs your recruiting being hurt.

    End of argument.

    The above comments make me want to hurl. NOW you're going to start praying for them? Now they don't deserve it? We owe it to them to say a prayer for them? NO YOU OLD F#CKING TOOL, you owed it to them to turn Sandusky in to the authorities. There is no way you can tell me the Penn State Board have more pull than JoePa considering the old man REFUSES to step aside and there's nothing they've been able to do about it for years. If he wanted to take it to the authorities he could have and should have.

    Then I hear there's folks on his lawn outside his house in support of him. Sickens me. F#cking disgusted.

    He's losing respect left, right and center so the last "respectable" thing he could do right now is to step up, answer the media's questions and then retire.

    A prayer now doesn't mean anything to partaking in a cover up which allowed Sandusky to prey on even more kids. What are the people on the lawn thinking among themselves? That JoePa was framed maybe?

    Those comments are horrible on first read, but after watching him doddering around in that interveiw it makes me think maybe it's just senility talking - I hope so for his sake.

    Regardless of his contributions, he just needs to go immediately, no finish the season, no send-off on Saturday.

    I guesss he's lucky he did the bare minimum to avoid going to jail, but that nor his record should keep him from losing his job.

    Oh and his son Scott really needs to shut up. He isn't helping.

    This is kind of like that Chinese girl when 20 people walked by. No one wanted to be the one to take responsibility and maybe cause the demise of penn state football. Suppose that GA decided to turn in that guy. In that case the whole program is under scrutiny and everyone might lose their jobs and whistle-blowers no matter how noble seem to get screwed in this country.

    However the fact they still let this guy on campus well that is troubling.

    Who the eff cares about what would happen to a sports program. A sports program is not a human being! The fact that he watched a little boy get raped by that sicko and did nothing about it is just sickening and quite frankly, appalling.

    Ziggy, when you wake up tomorrow and read this, please just take a step back, think about things, and shut the **** up for a bit.

    Scott Paterno needs to get off Twitter and shut up ASAP!!

    JoePa needs to be quiet and hide in a closet.... Why the hell would you want to pray for the victims NOW? You were in the position to do more at that time and you dropped the ball. Despicable.

    Man this blew up, and after reading the statement from the mother of one of the victims....unbelievable....

    It's sad that Joe is going out like this. He had such a great career as a coach and to go out like this is wrong.
