McQueary out for Nebraska game

[nelsonmuntz]

This is pretty much the definition of a non sequitur. None of those situations you alluded to were even close to as serious as seeing a 10 year old boy being sodomized. A manager abusing his expense account? Of course people might not deem that important to put your neck on the line, if it's for a major corporation it's probably not even a material amount. But we're talking about, again, a pre-teen being sodomized. Not an adult being chewed out, or having their creepy manager make inappropriate advances. Not even remotely close to comparable.

If people don't put their necks on the line in relatively low risk situations like the ones I identified, why would you expect them to do so when the stakes are much higher? Most corporations have ways for people to report misbehavior anonymously. Athletic programs do not. In fact, the entire structure of an athletic department at a football factory like Penn State is designed to PREVENT information leaks and centralize decision making.

Most people could get another job (in a normal economy) relatively easily, yet most people do not take the career risks I cited. McQueary would be out of football forever if he got on Paterno's bad side, and would be lucky to ever work in the state of Pennsylvania again.

NBC tweeting McQueary sent some emails to his former teammates:

#BREAKING (1) #Sandusky witness, McQueary email to fmr. teammates: "I did the right thing…you guys know me…" #PennState

#BREAKING (2) McQueary: "... the truth is not out there fully... I didn't just turn and run... I made sure it stopped..."

#BREAKING (3) McQueary: "... I had to make quick tough decisions…" #PennState @NBCNews #Exclusive

"I didn't just turn and run... I made sure it stopped..." ?? Didn't sound that way from the language in the GJ report. I'd like to hear what's up with this.

I just cringed reading that.

"I'd love to talk about this and clear the air and my name, but with the possibility of civil suits against me my legal advisor has told me I can't do that. So everyone is going to have to wait for the whole story to come out." that is all he should be saying. What is wrong with everyone in Central PA.

He's taking a big chance. Because he's making two claims. He intervened and stopped the rape. And, he informed the "police as well as university police administrators."

I say he's taking a chance because, for one, the GJ report says he left immediately. Now, the AG doesn't have to report everything to the GJ. In fact, saying he left immediately give the impression he covered it up. But in the next sentence, it describes McQueary as returning to his office in the facilities and calling his father. Here's where McQueary is exposed. If he stopped the rape, as he said, and if there was no physical altercation, as he has also said (he estimates the scene took 30-45 seconds) then what the heck happened to the boy? Did he take the boy into his own protection? Or did he leave Sandusky to take the boy? McQueary may not clear his name by simply stopping the rape.

I want to know which police force he contacted. Over the last few days I've learned that State College is one incestuous swamp with all the coaches and prosecutors and local politicians not only being friends, but having intermarried, especially the Sandusky's and his adoptive brood of 6. His son's brother-in-law was the Centre County DA, formerly the Deputy AG under the current governor.

Well, that was some interview. Literally about 15 seconds of McQueary on his porch saying he wasn't gonna talk and getting asked about his emotional state. That was it.

Total waste of time.
