Yeah not good. Not good at all. Everything sounds and seems like people are trying to protect something larger. Like it's okay to have some football coach (legendary as he may be seen) and his assistant take the axe ( a well deserved axing don't get me wrong), as long as that's where it ends. The Second Mile thing has all kinds of bad written on it for all different kinds of people that can blow up in so many ways and implicate so many other people, organizations, possibly government offices like the Boys Town incident did (among the highest offices).
And I made the mistake of watching the press conference where they announce the firing of Paterno and the "journalists'" reaction to it as it happened. Ridiculous. The first question, first fucking question before the guy even stopped talking, "WHO'S COACHING THE GAME SATURDAY?!?!"
Fucking amazing.
670 had one of the (real) journalists on this morning. He was stating that it was 50% journalists, 50% fans/regular people. It appeared that anyone could and was asking questions at the presser.
