His broadcast team buddies were buying him drinks at the Comfort Inn last night.

No one can withstand Tom Rinaldi's powers. He's conditioned humanity to hear a dramatic, tinkly piano whenever he speaks.
(I think Tom Rinaldi is a psychopath who enjoys seeing other people weep.)

Megan {l Wrote}:I have been thinking some more about the Penn State case, and why McQueary and Paterno did what they did. And I have come to the conclusion that most commentators are overlooking a rather obvious contributing factor: they liked Sandusky.
McQueary grew up in State College; his family was friends with Sandusky, and of course, Sandusky had coached him. Paterno had worked with Sandusky closely for years. And if you think about what you would have done in a situation where you caught someone you love and respect in that position, is it really so obvious, as the chest thumping punditariat proclaims, that you would have leaped into the shower, beaten the snot out of him, and frog marched him to the police station after you rescued the kid? Really? You'd have done that to your father, your favorite uncle, your best friend, a beloved mentor?
Think about what that really entails: overcoming all the shock and horror, the defensive mechanisms that make you question what you're really seeing. The total destruction of a long relationship as soon as you name it out loud and accuse him to his face. The actual physical logistics of grabbing a naked sixty year old man, detaching him from that child, and then pounding on him for a while as a ten year old you don't know watches. The fact that the minute you go to the police, you will have utterly ruined this man's life: he will be jobless, friendless, and branded as the worst sort of pervert by everyone in the country--oh, and also, in protective custody so that the other inmates in jail don't, like, kill him.
That's a pretty huge emotional hurdle to leap in the ten seconds or so that McQueary had to do the right thing. Isn't it quite understandable that your instinct might be to get away? To look for some way that didn't have to involve jail? Wouldn't it be a huge relief to tell your superiors and let someone else take care of it?.....
.... Consider, for example, child abuse (sexual or otherwise) in families. How often is the offender actually reported to the police, and how often do the families simply keep the kids away from Grandpa because, well, you know. I'm sure at some level they worry about other kids Grandpa might be touching--but they also worry about what would happen to Grandpa in jail, and the rest of his family in the court of public opinion.
When you find out that someone you know is a pedophile, that doesn't erase your knowledge that they're also a human being. It does in the public mind, of course, but it's very different when you know them.
We are evolved to live in small groups, with very deep loyalty to the other members. In most situations, this is in fact a completely laudable sentiment. But this is the dark side: it is very hard for us to betray the members of those small groups to which we belong, particularly if we have strong emotional bonds to that person. There is a scientific name for people who are not bound by these sorts of ties: sociopaths. And as I understand it, they do not, in fact, make excellent agents of justice, because they don't care about the victims, either.

I can assure you, she is not dumb. She is making a point, a very simple, intelligent, horrifyingly real, valid point, a point that interacts with the deepest part of human nature, Queary liked Sandfucksky and at that moment, a piece of Queary's world was completely annihilated. That is probably the reason why Queary did the wrong thing.
We all know what the right thing is. She isn't disputing that.

I got your back on this one IB. She has a point. (I'm agreeing with IB )
"We were showering and horsing around, and he actually turned all the showers on and was actually sliding across the floor, and we were, as I recall, possibly like snapping a towel -- horseplay," he said.

1) He's getting a national audience because of RATINGS. I'm sure Bob Costas was fully tumescent throughout the entire interview thinking of those ratings and awards and praise from other irrelevant people he would receive for this.
2) When your defense is "all I did was shower and horse around and touch their legs non-sexually" - I think you're done. I wonder at what point he, his wife, his lawyers etc. all looked at each other and said "this is really going to convince people."
exactly. the ladyfriend watched this and said the exact same thing "does this sicko really think that makes it okay and/or believable?" the fact that his lawyer let him trot this tripe out lets me know how sick he is... and its sicker than i thought

If sovereign immunity does not protect Penn State it will likely be because of its status as a state related university, as opposed to being a member of the Pennsylvania System of Higher Education. One/third of the PSU board is state actors, the others or not. There is case law holding that Penn State was not an agent of the state which may control. - Tuesday's legal and shit
