IMO you are being too kind. I tear up every time I see something like this.....just thinking what those calculating rat bastards and bitches did to Joe. Even worse to hire a turd licking serpent like Freeh to come in and put another bullet in his back......these are despicable human beings.Please take this opportunity to thank the many responsible for ridding Penn State of its destructive culture led by Joe Paterno.
F*cking cocksucker assholes.

I cried at two funerals: My father's and Joe's. What those people did to Joe was despicable and inhuman. I also blame all of those at PSU, in law enforcement, the B1G and the NCAA who knew what they were doing and went along.Please take this opportunity to thank the many responsible for ridding Penn State of its destructive culture led by Joe Paterno.

“May no act of ours bring shame!” Now there’s a line I keep wondering if those members of the BOT sing anymore?????

IMO John Surma, Karen Peetz and Ken Frazier would rather gut Penn State than risk their companies' stocks go down by a dollar due to bad publicity. That's the kind of people they are.
Of course Surma later presided over a ~90% decline in his company's stock, illustrating his skill as a leader IMO
Surma can rot in hell.That the Surmas even hinted that Vic's issues were on Joe to help solve is absurd.
And John, in full Yinzer accent*, really enjoyed announcing Joe's firing. Bastard.
* which I fully enjoy hearing coming from almost any other Yinzer!

Marshall.
We are near the same age and while i never met the man having followed PSU closely [a die hard really] I can honestly say this. I am cynical [or wise enough] to have never had a hero [my father was killed in an auto accident by a drunk driver when i was 15] Joe was as close as you could come to being a hero for me.
i love Franklin and think he is great for our program but it doesn't mean Joe won't always hold a special place in my heart.
Paul Suhey=The people they view as “pals”, and the people who view them as “pals”, more often than not means something.
You know what I like?

May God bless Matt...but that’s on him!Watching the NCAA wrestling tournament yesterday there was an interview with Matt Millen. He was watching the tournament with his good friend Paul Suhey. All I could think of was Suhey’s role on the BOT and his outrageous comment about “retiring Joe early”. I hope PSU supporters never forget the role he and his ilk played in permanently smearing PSU’s good name forever. After researching the JS case for over 7 years now, as far as I’m concerned the BOT created the entire scandal by their fetal position response to accusations. To this day it’s mind numbing how our “leaders” reacted. And to think there are posters on this board that will still defend those scoundrels.
Right there with you!I cried at two funerals: My father's and Joe's. What those people did to Joe was despicable and inhuman. I also blame all of those at PSU, in law enforcement, the B1G and the NCAA who knew what they were doing and went along.
I recall when Joe dismissed him from the team John Surma demanded Joe reinstate and Joe”s response was this the least of his problems.Joe was spot on about this kid maybe he would be alive today if the Surma”s listened
Paul Suhey=
despicable,contemptible,heinous,reprehensible, arrogant and dishonorable. Just a grown up punk.
This still puzzles me greatly.
From what I heard it puzzled members of his family as well. Once a "friend" becomes a father, it can impact a relationship. I lost the best friend I ever had because of a son/coach series of issues. A good coach must be principled and certain "courtesies" cannot be extended if they "cross the line." A parent/friend is blind to the line.This still puzzles me greatly.
Told Tim to do something about it .....is the rumor. He also tried being cryptic and gave vague references to the "violations" committed in the FB program that the BOT were protecting PSU from. LOLIsn't Paul Suhey the trustee who had heard about the wrestling incident at the local highschool, did nothing, and kept the information from the board when they were made aware psu was being investigated? His behavior in this entire ordeal is as bad as anyone's. Very, very poor display of character.
In the heat of the controversy .....not knowing everything we know now......being cornered by your occupation as a commentator.....perhaps I can give him some slack. But, he's had time to make amends. I'm not aware that he has? Glad he's regaining health. Not a favorite of mine.....sorry.May God bless Matt...but that’s on him!
Seems that the party line was the the BOT was "blindsided" by the Sandusky allegations? Liars!Isn't Paul Suhey the trustee who had heard about the wrestling incident at the local highschool, did nothing, and kept the information from the board when they were made aware psu was being investigated? His behavior in this entire ordeal is as bad as anyone's. Very, very poor display of character.
Note. Matt is a huge backer of Joe and his legacy. Anyone who implies differently is a liar . Hating anyone is a wasted and self defeating emotion. Maybe Matt is wiser than some here.

Does Matt think Joe screwed up? Paul does. The bot does. Even the bot, when around fellow penn staters in a safe and controlled environment, will allow employees to state Joe was a great man but not address the fact he did the right thing, let alone the depths of their depravity. Let me know if/when Matt actually addresses what Joe did or even how the bot responded. Maybe he did and I missed it. He's never struck me as a shy individual.

Thanks for sharing. What was it you’d hoped to contribute?At 44 years of age ... I wanted Paterno gone even before the epic 94 squad (and ef Kerry Collins' drunken arse for trying to pick up the girl I was seeing with the line "do you know who I am?" after she responded to his initial advances with "ew!" ... and then responded to his subsequent line with "a drunken' d!ckhead!" ... he's lucky I wasn't there to snap his throwing arm when he was having trouble learning "no means no," but I digress). But I wanted Paterno gone just for purposes of advancing the success of the program.
Even at that age, I was smart enough not to buy into stories of legends and heroes. If that lesson needed any further cementing, that was accomplished when I ran into a football buddy (who, literally, and without exaggeration, once asked me how to spell a basic monosyllabic word for a paper in his remedial English course, so he could be eligible next year, as a 22 year old sophomore - WTF? - AFTER prepping at a prestigious prep school ... I was an 18 year sophomore, at the time), and he and his football pals told me they were told they were guaranteed a passing grade in a ridiculous "Arts" class (watch movies, and opine on them) as long as they showed up for class, regardless of whether they passed any quizzes/exams.
I mean, I know the typical football player gets sent down the assembly line with a token degree (advertising, communications, physical therapy, or whatever they get when they're qualified to wrap a high schooler's strained groin), but to be that brazen about it at that basic a level was simply amazing to me, considering I was a varsity athlete, as well (I received very little assistance, but I was a University Scholar, so I didn't really care). And it let me know just how ingrained the culture was.
I'm not going to opine on the rest ... all I know is that the same 22 year old soph told me JoePa was a figurehead out in lala land even back then ... but I will say that I think I'm smart enough not to idolize anyone, or anything.
