We're lucky to have you on our side.<br />Was curious when we should expect your next reports. I remember you posting a while back that one would come out July 12th for the anniversary of the Freeh fiction. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587150016685351607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-64794107355200584352013-07-08T21:32:39.467-04:002013-07-08T21:32:39.467-04:00Ray, He was also the one who had his name removed ...Ray, He was also the one who had his name removed from the list of players who signed in support. I personally feel that everyone thought this would run its course and then be over. Especially non-PSU grads and players.

How anyone with a functioning brain could believe that PSU covered up Sandusky's crimes is fascinating, but unfortunately, all too common.<br /><br />I've also heard that some people believe that the relationships between PSU, The Second Mile, and Sandusky were fully investigated and that the investigation didn't find anything.<br /><br />Amazing what people have been led to believe.<br />Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-48749878797455309342013-07-08T21:20:13.422-04:002013-07-08T21:20:13.422-04:00Bob,

Repeating a post I made yesterday:<br /><br />"Mr. Franzetta points out that four of the 32 board members in November 2011 were former football players who respected Mr. Paterno. Three of them, Dave Joyner, Paul Suhey and Steve Garban, were captains."<br /><br />You don't fire someone you respect via a late night phone call. You don't cruelly say you didn't fire that respected man but just retired him three weeks early. Typical of the Board's terrible decisions and even worse implementations. <br /><br />A pox on them all.

If 1000 former players back the Paterno-led suit against the NCAA, and 1 of them (Chuck Franzetta) does not, then by focusing on the single outlier, people like Dent make it seem like a 50-50 split rather than the <<1% that it actually is.<br /><br />Part of the entire "equal time" fallacy that journalists blindly follow because they have to appear objective. This is the same logic that would allow the Flat Earth Society equal time to present their findings at an Geological Society meeting.

Three thoughts: 1) Glad to read you're still gainfully employed, Ray! 2) Remarkable that anyone would ever make claims as to what an entire, very large group thinks about anything. As a true outsider who actually DID NOT know who Joe Paterno was prior to Nov 2011, I questioned everything about this case because it simply made no sense. 3) Please persevere. This is a fascinating story on so many levels. And you are keeping in public view the issue of child victimization, and most important, how we can identify and then stop the abusers.rdkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007253694089460950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-50128655501974491402013-07-08T09:37:05.417-04:002013-07-08T09:37:05.417-04:00Ray, Excellant as usual.

I continue to be amazed by the lack of involvement of the BoT. It seams that they think, over time, this will be over. By the number of people who signed the petition I think it maybe just beginning. I wish I could be more involved but a family situation is taking up most of my summer. Please continue to investigate and infor all of us who believe in Penn State and Joe Paterno and what they have done for all of us.
