I hope you don't consider yourself a journalist, Gigler. A journalist does not inject his/her personal opinions into a story by using words like 'petty' unless they are quoting somebody else. A hack commentator, but journalist? No.
Here endeth the lesson.

Ahhhhhhh, now I understand your comments. You're a PSU Alum where you were the Womens Basketball reporter (an important position, no doubt). So now not only are you not a journalist, but you're a fraud for not adding a disclaimer on your "story" that you had a vested interest in it.

Here's the link showing Gigler is an alum of Penn State:http://www.collegian.psu.edu:8080/archive/collegian_info/news_staff_spring99.asp

Glad to see Micco has the Penn State spin going in full force. Keep following the marching orders, Gigler. I agree with the poster above.....petty? Nothing like a little blue & white editorializing. And Franco calling Jopa a great man further shows what a strange cult it is. Great men don't enable child rape.

Right on Dan. The word "petty" is an friggen understatement.Ravenstahl was a donkey's rear for his immature holier-than-thou attitude towards a loving gesture Franco did for Paterno. The same Ravenstahl who a few years back used a city-owned SUV to party hearty while going to a Toby Keith concert. As I recall there were beer can, garbage, etc. strewn about in the SUV. Look in the mirror, Luke. And for "that casino"...kudos Dan for not mentioning those boneheads and giving them free advertising. Long live Joe.

Joe Paterno was a football coach. That's it. That's all he was. And given the reports that he resisted when the school had the audacity to discipline his players (link to ESPN article backing this statement up is below) makes him a fairly ordinary coach. The winningest coach? Well sure, but that's because he refused to retire and thus gained more seasons to do it.

Anyway, that's all beside the point.

The bottom line is this. Joe Paterno had information that, had he done more than addressed them to his superiors (like he really had anybody superior to him at Penn State), would have prevented a number of boys from being raped or molested. Let me say that again, more slowly: He....had....information....that....could....have....prevented.....rape.....of....young....boys.

Nothing Gigler says, or Franco emotes, or anybody else does is going to change the fact that by not acting like he should have (i.e., more than what is "legally required"), he enabled Jerry Sandusky to rape more boys.

The Penn State community screaming 'long live Joe' are really no different than those who embraced Michael Jackson after his death.

Larry and Dan, do you ever wonder what those children think of people like you?
