    I am fixed

    "Somedays I wake up and feel like nobody loves me. Other days I wake up and feel like I love nobody. Sometimes I wake up and feel tired, and worn out. Sometimes I wake up and feel like I cannot face the day. But someday I'll wake up and realize that waking up is pretty stupid because it just makes you feel like crap."

    I don't know, man. Going by the timeline of events... I think Paterno should've called the police after the graduate assistant told him what he witnessed (2002). I think the graduate assistant should've called the police himself. There was a criminal inquiry in '98, Sandusky should've been charged then. He pretty much confessed to inappropriate behavior when questioned, and nobody did a damned thing. Everybody just kinda swept it under the rug, including Paterno. Now that I see things listed out as they are, I kinda agree with sportswriters that say that Paterno and everyone else involved that did very little to nothing at all were selfish cowards looking to save face. I'm sorry, but firing Paterno is the only correct and logical judgement the university could hand down.

    You can speculate all you want about who should have called the police - I mean heck the police were already involved, but what matters is if Paterno did what he was supposed to do by University policy. If he acted appropriately then he shouldn't lose his job over it. Frankly it was time for him to retire anyway, but he could have gone out on better terms.

    He could have gone out on better terms, I agree with you on that. But doing what he had to do? I don't know, man. Yeah sure, university policy and all that, but there's a human component that isn't listed in university policy. I mean seriously, what's more important? Doing what you have to according to your job guidelines, or doing what you know is right? Is only doing what the job guidelines state you have to do enough in this case? How would that weigh on your conscience? Imagine him looking into some of these victims' eyes and saying, "I was only doing what the university required me to do. Sorry kids". We're not talking about university students, 18+ year old young adults here, we're talking about children.

    No disrespect intended, bro. I just think what happened is a shitty way to handle the ordeal, on everybody's part. It just looks like a bunch of people covering their own asses when they could've done more.

    I don't disagree with you, the whole thing is tragic and handled poorly all around.

    Agree 100%...just a shame to see one of the greatest college coaches in history go down like this.
