re: #152 dragonath

The guy didn’t have such a great college career either. Ironically, Paterno benched him after just one fumble. Either he really didn’t like the guy, or was trying (in retrospect) to keep people from digging deeper.

Perhaps Paterno had learned a lesson about the importance of weeding out vicious and/or amoral people. If this was after he first had been told about Sandusky (which form what you said it was), he might well have pushed the rotter away as a defensive measure.

But that represents a good bit of conjecture on my part. Though it also represents how my own mind focused in on a malefactor and related it to the discussion, which in part deals with malefactors. So that’s my self-analysis for the day.
