I Called In Sick Today

Well this brought up a good point. People are mad at JoePa, and rightfully so, but what about the guy that actually saw the rape? "Oh shit, Sandusky's raping a young boy. Right now, right in front of me, a 10 year old boy is being sodomized by an old man. I better try and schedule an appointment to tell coach!"

He was apparently quite distraught about the whole experinece. He went over to Paterno's house and told him, and then also had a meeting with Curley and Shultz were he told them what he saw, and they assured him they were on top of it and would do what was necessary. Schultz was actually in charge of overseeing the University Police. The kid reported to what he thought were the authorities. At that point its on them to follow through with what they are supposed to do.

[Dread Aidan 8]

I think he meant why didn't he go and stop him and/or beat him up? Or maybe turn the tables and rape him? That'll learn him.Edit: "go and stop" is just awful. I'm shaking my head at myself. Somebody should rape me. No really, go ahead.

[Napa_Don 688]

Ya, I'd like to think that had I walked in on that I would have said something at the very least like, "Hey, old man, what the ****, stop!" and ideally would have just intervened and broke his hip. Although, I've never seen an old man sodomizing a young kid before, so I don't know. Terrible story.

Lot's more here,http://www.huffingtonpost.com/radley-balko..._b_1072707.htmllike another possible person who could have done the crime and besides, a few minutes ago the courts did order the testing so I guess we'll find out.

That's pretty crazy. In general, I agree with the statement in the article "The justification for the exception is that a guilty man could game the system by refusing or even fighting testing at trial, then fight for testing after conviction to buy himself some time before sentencing is carried out." In this case, I can't believe that it's a even question whether he can get the testing done now, knowing that he requested the testing but his corrupt public defender / former prosecutor decided not to pursue it. I would think that would be grounds for a mistrial?

I'd probably yell "hey stop!" but I doubt I'm going to be making any contact with that naked guy.

jesus you guys love jumping to conclusions. you don't even know what the kid was wearing.

I enjoyed that article. The girlfriend sent it to me. Keeper.

At that point its on them to follow through with what they are supposed to do.

I guess he did report it to the university police. You know, after he allowed it to continue. And then never questioned why the guy wasn't in jail. No biggie.

Edit: "go and stop" is just awful. I'm shaking my head at myself. Somebody should rape me. No really, go ahead.

I'm mind-raping you. RIGHT. NOW.

Hey, you were a wrestler. You'd have totally gotten in there with a perfectly executed Saturday Night Ride on oldie.

I'd probably yell "hey stop!" but I doubt I'm going to be making any contact with that naked guy.

I think the only proper phrase would be, "WHAT THE FUCK?"

jesus you guys love jumping to conclusions. you don't even know what the kid was wearing.

You guys have really become quite the dynamic duo. The Albert and Costello of comedy, if you will.I wonder if Bodog has set a line on a Sandusky suicide.

Hey Cane, any thoughts on that ridiculously sized proposed casino in downtown Miami? LeBatard was saying it would be 2 1/2 times bigger than the Bellagio and would be the biggest casino in the country.

I'm not thrilled about living less than two miles from it. Not thrilled it's so close to the Heat arena. Just figure the construction is going to be a nightmare. I'd love the idea more if they built it on Miami beach.Not sure downtown Miami makes a ton of sense. There has been a lot of condo development and restaurant build up in the area though maybe it will be cool. But I'm more apprehensive than anything.Re: Penn state:Bad news: it's hard to put a spin on butt sex with a 10 year old.Good news: Notre Dame has some competition for "Most Catholic University".

[speedz99 145]

I'm so ****ing annoyed by this birthday present thing. I went to the mall. THE MALL. I don't go to the ****ing mall. And I still found nothing.Then I had a fantastic idea. I'll get us tickets to a Louis CK show. Well there are only three shows coming up, all this weekend, all in NYC, none are possibilities for us, especially since they're super duper sold out, of course. Deep breaths.It is, of course, my fault for not just ordering something cool off the internets about three weeks ago.

this strat-for-LG trade really seems to have fucked speedz over. surely she'd have had some incredible gift idea. I have her email if you don't have it, maybe you can beg.

I appreciate that, but she's not my biggest fan. I'm pretty sure she knows I'm kind of a dick. Anyway, I lost any respect for her relationship advice after the whole Tony thing. Man was she an idiot. I say that with love. Or, well, mild like, or whatever. We warned her.Another thing that pisses me off: http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...hodes-interview. Really, douchebag rhodes scholar interviewers? You really can't just push the ****ing thing forward or back one ****ing day? And, aside from that, this guy is really a rhodes scholar? A history major who started off at Nebraska? There really aren't more impressive people out there? If you're that impressed by the fact that he's good at sports, you can't move his interview a bit to let him play said sports? EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ANNOYS ME.

[strategy 4]

actually, pressing her for a gift idea might not be the best thing, given that you fucked her over in the secret santa thing. much the same way you're fucking this other girl.

[brvheart 1,752]

I'm immediately confused.

[LongLiveYorke 38]

this strat-for-LG trade...

recount?

[strategy 4]

oh, I'm just trying to make speedz feel worse.I honestly stayed away from here for a while and missed that whole story. don't particularly want to hear it, either. I don't know if she's not posting because I told her I didn't really want to talk anymore, or because you guys were massive dicks about this relationship thing. I basically only bring some mild funnies and lots of sadness so I mean, I'd understand if you guys want to trade back.

Nice.I attempted to purchase the Tank 7 today, in 4-pack form. After getting home and putting the beers in my fridge, I was surprised to find that there were two Tank 7's, and two Sixth Glass quadrapels, especially when I'm spending $11 on a 4-pack. Ultimately, I suppose it works out, since I'd probably buy the beer-I-know-won't-like at some point in the future, just for completions' sake, but I was a bit peeved initially. The Tank 7 is an 8% belgian white ale. It poured with a very surprising amount of head, and was very clean and tasty on my palette. I don't generally love belgians, and this one didn't stand out to me, but there was little-to-no alcohol taste, and it was very drinkable. As far as the style goes, it was probably near the top of what is a very short list for me. So short, that I can't remember what my favorite Belgian white is. I think this comes in 2nd though.The Sixth Glass quadrupel was everything I expected; if you've ever had a tripel, it's very similar. Its just a style that I don't really like very much. Very wine-y taste with a usual strong alcohol finish that just doesn't sit well. Sixth Glass eliminates most of the uncomfortable finish, but the overall taste is still the unpleasant barleywine that I've grown to loathe in tripels. Not bad, especially for a 10.5% brew, and it is drinkable under the circumstances, but nothing I would recommend to anyone.And that glass is full of honeyed Wild Turkey.

[The Ocho 970]

I went here recently:http://www.longtrail.com/home.htmlThey had a tiple bag ale, not on the site, it's over 9% and it tasted amazing. Like possibly one of the best beers I've ever had. 4 pack was 11+ bucks. 4 beers got you quite a good buzz. That was new for me.The beer is so potent, they would only sell two 20oz glasses max at the brewery. If you can get your hand on this stuff, I highly recommend it. It was very sweet. It was about 2 hours from Boston.

[strategy 4]

I like to drink tank 7 at bars/restaurants, but not at home. I'm not saying it's not my favorite from boulevard, because it is. I'm weird about being cost-efficient I guess. I'm super pumped that you actually get to try boulevard in whereversville, east coast. even if it isn't your favorite beer.my brothers bought the honeyed jack daniels, or whatever the fuck it is. when did this trend start? it was ok.the next thing you need to try: goose island's summertime. I'm actually not worried about you getting the chance, because they got bought by one of the big national players and are going to be distributing all over the fucking place soon enough.oh god, my oldest brother was going to bring his girlfriend home for thanksgiving. seems like the sort of thing he'd never agree to without it being put to "you bring me or we're breaking up" terms. which I mean, he's a surgeon, vag is not conditional for him. got an email tonight saying he's coming home for christmas instead of tgivin. I wanna know the story but I can't write an email that isn't super rude about the idiocy of his original plan. our tradition is to stay up, play cards, and drink until mom wakes up to put the turkey in the oven at 4am, and I feel like it just wouldn't work with a girlfriend in attendance.

in reverse order...I like the style of your traditions. I need some of those; My family doesn't have many/any, and my new extended-family is all imported Arab, so they don't celebrate American holidays very strongly, and there aren't enough of them to make the full-scale Arab traditions exciting in the states. Goose Island has picked up distribution recently, but I think it was after the summer seasonal went out. They're an above-average brewery to me so far, but haven't really distinguished themselves with anything I've tried yet. Next summer I'll give theirs a shot.The honey bourbon/whiskey probably started before I got ahold of it, but in my weak moments as a man, I've wanted to consume more scotch/whiskey, and the Jack Daniels Devil's Cut was intriguing, but too expensive, so I went with the Wild Turkey honey stuff, and have been disgustingly happy with the results. I drank the last bottle in two weeks time, which is way too fast, even by my semi-alcoholic status. Also of strange note: I have two liquor stores within ~2miles of my house. The two prices of Wild Turkey American Honey 750 mL: $19.99 and $26.99.

Strat why is your mom putting a turkey in the over at 4AM? Are you eating at 8 AM, or is it a 87lb turkey?

The turkey doesn't actually enter the oven at 4am. There is other stuff to do, like dressing, but for a noon lunch, I'll bet its in the oven by 5 or 6am.

Really? This Seinfeld joke is still being recycled 15 years later. Really?
