[NU Sports] Penn State

[Roy S. Lamberton]

Even Drudge has picked up on the story, as have the DC newspapers.

But most of the reporting is from the AP and that story has not changed much since
Saturday.

step-do/

The sports commentators are another story.

And an even more confusing sidebar - the sports reporter on WBAL TV, and the voice of the
Baltimore Ravens on the radio is named Gerry Sandusky - no relation, but I wonder how his
communications consulting biz is going today....

Wow. This whole story is very upsetting. I have only read the ESPN story and plan to read
more today. I don't convict based on media reports alone, but this clearly stems from more
than a single allegation, which is troubling. For the record, if I could, I would
personally put a bullet in the head of anyone who harms a child like this. I am not
joking. 
 
It terms of Coach Paterno's situation, I think the section below is the most damaging. I
doubt Paterno is in legal trouble, but in terms of public opinion you DO NOT wait even a
single day before contacting the police when you hear something like this. Ever. 
 
I have always admired Penn State, Joe Paterno and Sandusky (when he was an active coach).
I would like to wake up tomorrow and believe that this was a bad dream.

"Despite a powerful eyewitness statement about the sexual assault of a child, this
incident was not reported to any law enforcement or child protective agency, as required
by Pennsylvania law," Kelly said. There's no indication that anyone at school attempted to
find the boy or follow up with the witness, she said.
