NFL  > General NFL  > Penn State Revisited...Joe Paterno
February 11, 2013, 05:30 PM
There was a stunning interview on ESPN First Take with Jay Paterno.

Their lawyers say they have PROOF that Joe Paterno was the fall guy.
I said all along that the easiest resolution was to blame the dead man.

Jay Paterno was very convincing, even with cross examination from the questioners ...The Freeh report was based on 20 Documents.

This is going to get very interesting.

God won't this damn story ever go away! I'm sick of it being part of sports news. It has nothing to do with sports, especially this far into the story.

Let's talk about Lance Armstrong or teo some more!

Let me guess, they didn't share the proof that they have.

If my dad were used as a scape goat in such a horrible situation, and I had proof.....i would be on every network scream that proof.

He was on Mike and Mike and First Take this morning. It will be interesting. I have no problem with the family standing up for Joe Pa. I expect that they would. But I doubt much will change in the court of public opinion.

I thought he was stretching it a little when he noted the reference to "Coach" in the emails does not necessarily mean Joe Pa. Who else at Penn St. is referred to simply as "Coach?" If Joe Pa knew of the 1998 investigation/allegations v. Sandusky (no proof he did), then it's a tough row to **** to justify taking little action after the assistant coach busted Sandusky in the shower and told Joe Pa.

That and the fact that one of the emails had in the "subject" section RE: Joe Paterno.
