The Side-Eye: Nike Chairman Phil Knight Defends Joe Paterno’s Actions In The Jerry “Sleazy” Sandusky Case At Memorial Service

Really? At the memorial service though??? Speaking at the memorial service for Joe Paterno, Nike chairman Phil Knight on Thursday called the former Penn State football coach a hero and defended Paterno’s actions after being told of alleged sexual abuse by former assistant Jerry Sandusky. “If there’s a villain in this tragedy. It lies in that investigation, not in Joe Paterno’s response to it,” Knight said. Paterno, who in 2002 passed along the allegation to his superiors, died Sunday at age 85. The Bryce Jordan Center crowd gave Knight, who rarely gives interviews, several ovations. For those that don’t know, Phil Knight and Joe Paterno were very good friends, so we get that he wanted to rep for his dead homie. However, the memorial service seems like the wrong place to campaign for his innocence. Let the man rest and in peace and leave the boy-boinking out of the convo! The crowd seemed to like it though, it was provocative, it got the people going #JoePaInParis…SMH Source More On Bossip!

Cry Me A River: Joe “To Hide A Predator” Paterno Says He Kept His Mouth Shut About Jerry Sandusky’s Nasty A$$ Because He Was Shook And Overwhelmed

GEEEEEEET TFOHWTBS! In his first extensive interview since being fired, Paterno shared his side of the 2002 episode. He became a flashpoint for criticism in November because he did not contact the police about the suspected assault, which was reported to him by a graduate assistant. Paterno instead relayed the allegations to the athletic director and another top university official. “I didn’t know exactly how to handle it, and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was,” Paterno told The Washington Post. “So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn’t work out that way.” The athletic director, Tim Curley, and the university official, Gary Schultz, have been charged with failure to report the 2002 episode to police. They also are charged with lying to a grand jury about their knowledge of the matter. Paterno said that he had “no inkling” that Sandusky, who has been charged with more than 50 counts of sexual abuse against boys, might have been engaged in deviant behavior. Paterno declined to judge Sandusky or his other former Penn State colleagues. Which makes you just as bad as the rest of them, Coach Paterno. SMDH. Source More On Bossip!

What Did Jerry Sandusky Do To Those Boys? A Rundown Of The Grand Jury Report That Details Each Victim’s Abuse! [Video]

SMH. Jerry Sandusky needs to be locked up for a long time. Because the abuse has been referred to using blanket terms we wanted to really break down how nasty and damaging this sicko’s actions were. Here’s a victim-by-victim break down of the grand jury report courtesy of the New York Times : VICTIM 1 He was 11 or 12 years old when he met Sandusky in 2005 or 2006 through the Second Mile, a charity Sandusky set up to help disadvantaged boys. The coach gave the boy gifts — golf clubs, a computer, clothes — and often had him stay at his house in a basement bedroom. Sandusky would crawl into bed with him, have the boy lie on top of him and “crack his back,” pulling the boy against him and then rubbing his back. The grand jury said Sandusky performed oral sex on the boy more than 20 times in 2007 and 2008 and had the boy perform oral sex on him once. VICTIM 2 A boy, about 10 years old, was seen naked in a locker-room shower at Penn State with Sandusky in 2002 by Mike McQueary, then a 28-year-old graduate assistant and aspiring coach. The grand jury report said McQueary saw the boy “with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky.” VICTIM 3 A boy, about 13, was invited by Sandusky in 2000 to his home for dinners, to go on walks and to attend Penn State football games. They exercised together and then showered. Sandusky patted him, rubbed his shoulders, washed his hair and gave him bear hugs. The boy stayed at Sandusky’s home, where Sandusky blew on his stomach, rubbed the inside of his thigh and touched his genitals. VICTIM 4 A boy, 12 or 13, “was repeatedly subjected to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault at the hands of Sandusky,” the report said. Contact took place in 1996 or 1997 in the locker-room shower and in hotel rooms. Sandusky gave the boy dozens of gifts — sports equipment, clothes and passes to sporting events — and threatened to send him home from the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio when the boy resisted his advances. VICTIM 5 A boy, 7 or 8, was invited in 1995 or 1996 to Sandusky family events and football games. When the boy was 8 or 10, Sandusky would roughhouse with him, then say they needed to shower. At one point, Sandusky, naked, pinned the boy against a wall in the shower, then placed the boy’s hand on his genitals. The boy slid away, and Sandusky never touched him again. VICTIM 6 When the boy was 11, in 1998, Sandusky was driving him to the university and put his hand on his thigh in the car. At the university they wrestled and Sandusky said they needed to shower. He lathered the boy in soap and bear-hugged him from behind. After the boy’s mother reported the incident to the university, Sandusky told investigators that he was wrong and that “I wish I were dead.” VICTIM 7 A boy, about 10, was invited in 1994 to numerous events and sleepovers at Sandusky’s. After a couple of years, Sandusky began putting his hand on the boy’s thigh while they were driving and on at least one occasion put his hands down the boy’s pants, though never touching his genitals. Sandusky bear-hugged him, cracked his back and shared showers. VICTIM 8 An unidentified “young” boy was seen in the shower with Sandusky at Penn State in 2000 by a university janitor. The janitor said Sandusky had pinned the boy against the wall and was performing oral sex on him. We are absolutely sickened by the fact that both the janitor and McQueary witnessed Sandusky sodomize young boys, reported it and this guy was still allowed to be on the Penn State campus and around young boys for YEARS after this happened. Everyone who knew anything about it and was in the power to do something and didn’t, should be fired. The mother of one of the victims did an interview with Good Morning America Friday and we’ve posted it below: More On Bossip! What Did WE Do?!
