You have to believe EVERYBODY in that football complex knows. You think McQueary actually sat on what he saw without telling anybody else? Hell no. Even here when our basketball coach was messing around, there were whispers and people talked so without a doubt I believe that whole coaching staff knew something. Which is why every last one of them has to be fired at years end.

I've stated before that one thing that angers me is a bully. I like to bully the bullies so I know how I would have reacted. I've stopped things (not of this magnitude) before and I would have in that situation as well. I agree, I imagine he probably never looked as Sandusky the same. How could you? I hear their families were close so how could his family look at him the same way either?

But these are 10 year old and younger kids. They're defenseless and no one came to their side. Tragic

That's exactly why Smoot. They are scared about losing their jobs. Jobs are replaceable, a human life is not. It's crazy how loyal people are to the institutions they work at, yet their institutions have none to them.
