Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Retirement at the end of the season is not good enough. He needs to be outsted, and now. Spanier too.
(I do note that Spanier did take the step of postponing - though not cancelling - the banquet with big donors in his honor that was scheduled for next week.)
ita !, anecdata, but you know I have taken Ambien for my chronic insomnia for years, and that my tolerance has been building up. I've added, with drs. approval, 1 to 1.5 mgs of Xanax to 10 mgs of the Ambien at bedtime, and it has really, REALLY helped to calm down the anxiety and mind/body revving and get me to sleep. IJS.
Some (most?) of them are adults now, right?
I've read that more victims have come forward since the story broke. I think this is an iceberg. He started the Second Mile program in 1977 and was with it until just a few years ago.
I agree with brenda, they need to be fired immediately.
Yeah, I haven't really noticed much more drinking at Penn State, relative to the size of the school, than at any other school I've been at. There is a lot of drinking on football weekends, but a lot of that isn't students.
Anyone heard this:
"The kids that were victims or whatever they want to say, I think we all ought to say a prayer for them."—Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno, on the child sex abuse scandal in which he is looking more and more like a knowing enabler for a child rapist. His former colleague Jerry Sandusky is charged with 40 sex crimes against boys, from 1994 to 2005. Paterno has not been charged with any crime. But he's out.

Oh, I believe that. What did shock me about that report was the volume of drinking that was described--the standard Saturday night out required a lot more alcohol than I ever saw in the early-to-mid 1980s. Things have changed since I was in college.
In other (embarrassing) news, I'm having my ass handed to me in first Words with Friends game ever. I'll just be over cradling my humiliation to my chest.
You should play with me: I lose to all Buffistas.
I just started playing WWF yesterday.
Anyone heard this:
Yeah, that was from last night, when he went out to talk to the students gathered in front of his house. He seemed to be really uncomfortable trying to talk about the abuse, like he didn't know what words he was supposed to use so he just kind of tried any words until something sounded OK.
Pretty much, he sounded mostly like you'd expect an 84-year-old man to sound when trying to talk about sexual abuse without having something prepared. His next sentence was something like, "Life can be difficult when ... uh ... certain things happen to you."
I hear a marching band.
