Since McQueary was an unpaid intern at the time he witnessed the shower scene, do you think the reason he went to Paterno and not the police was because he feared being arrested for violating the U.S. constitution?

Wasn't Mike McQuery in graduate school at Penn State at the time he witnessed the boy being ass fucked by Sandusky?

I'm still thoroughly enjoying the Voluntary Unpaid Internship = Involuntary Servitude = Slavery equation. I'm bullshit at anyone who says it doesn't belong in this or any other thread. I just hope nospace continues to stick to his convictions, no matter how preposterous.

Your legal :slapfight with child pornography boy is fine, and hugely entertaining. Not sure how this internship nonsense came into play again, mainly because I don't want to wade through 3 pages of INNOCENTBYSTANDERPOSTS.

1) Some people are mad at him because he, at 6'5 220something and a former(barely) division 1 athlete spersonally witnessed a 10 year old boy being anally raped and didn't physically intervene, or call the police, or yell, or take any other action to immediately end the assault. Then his career benefited exponentially thereafter, which circumstantially looks very, very bad but is not necessarily causally linked.

2) Some people are mad at him because without his grand jury testimony there would be no JoePa downfall. Snitches get stitches shit* with a central Pennsylvanian twist. He was a much disliked player and was not a particularly well liked coach (by PSU fans I know).

*legal term of art

1 is within the ballpark of legitimacy. 2 is just stupid, but I think probably where some of the death threats are coming from.

Without knowing anything about whistleblower laws generally or in PA, the way PSU gas handled McQueary in the last few days (nonsensically) makes me think there might be something to that theory.

That's precisely what makes me think there's a specific reason they're protecting him. They want to clean house and move on very badly, yet he's the final (known) link to the scandal remaining, and he's a pretty significant one at that.

I think they're exaggerating the threat to his safety as a means to keep him away from the game without undermining his employment status. For what reason, I don't know.

If they dumped McQueary he would immediately spill the beans on how Paterno, Curley, and Schultz all sat him down and told him of their plan to cover it up. The real info that Paterno was the major player in a huge coverup would rock the PSU community even further. Paterno would certainly join the others in a perjury case, although that's not a big deal at this point since I give it less than 12 months before Paterno croaks.

How much can you actually clean house and still play a football game? I agree it's weird that the most direct link is still there. I don't agree that if he was fired he'd go babbling...after all, he's pretty good at keeping his mouth shut.

To fill in some of the pervasive mindset of Penn State fans. Somehow they perceive the media reaction to JoePa as scapegoating. They seem to be filtering out the inevitable prosecution(or suicide) of Sandusky, the firings and career ruination of Curley, Spanier and Schultz and the McQueery situation (which I don't believe has played itself out yet).

To the objective observer, the reason Sandusky is probably less centered upon in the media coverage of blame assignment is that he is so obviously and completely the worst of the worst of the worst. I mean you really can't split hairs on the child rapist's terribleness. The culpability of the others has some semblance of ambiguity at least comparatively among them. Curley, Spanier and Schultz especially are not interesting or well known people relatively, therefore they are not in headlines.

I keep reading comments written addressing the media's need to "tear down heroes," and that JoePa's philanthropy and essentially running a cleaner football program than SMU in 1986 (Sandusky issues aside) so qualifies him as a hero.

The reaction on BWI has been horrific, and i think is rooted in denial. This might also be one of those situations in which the message board reaction isn't entirely indicative of the general feeling. For example, most of my are friends who are casual BC fans want UConn in the ACC.

This is completely correct. And they are manipulating the fact that McQueary has whistleblower protection and that Curley is technically on administrative leave to further their point. Now maybe Curley should have been fired immediately, but I'm sure like most places he can't be fired while on leave. PSU fans act like those two are getting free passes.

That is Megan McArdle's bitch with McQueary over at the Atlantic. She said she can understand leaving the scene for 5 minutes or whatever with the trauma, but then after you've composed yourself, go back (or get someone else and go back) and stop what is happening and call the police.

1) Some people are mad at him because he, at 6'5 220something and a former(barely) division 1 athlete spersonally witnessed a 10 year old boy being anally raped and didn't physically intervene, or call the police, or yell, or take any other action to immediately end the assault.


That is Megan McArdle's bitch with McQueary over at the Atlantic. She said she can understand leaving the scene for 5 minutes or whatever with the trauma, but then after you've composed yourself, go back (or get someone else and go back) and stop what is happening and call the police.


In all seriousness, we all know exactly what to do. It's very cut and dry. And it's very easy to be critical while not being in that position. Right or wrong, it's not always that simple when you're the one who sees it in the real world. I can guarantee of those who give him the most shit, there are plenty who would have done the same and there are some who would have done less. It's sad, but it's definitely true.
