Statements from Penn State Acting Director of Athletics Dave Joyner and new Head Football Coach Bill O'Brien were released late Thursday afternoon:
Dave Joyner, Penn State Acting Director of Athletics
"Earlier today we received, along with the general public, a first look at Judge Freeh's final report. I have read the report, and will continue to review it in closer detail in the coming days. The report concludes that individuals entrusted to positions of authority, shunned the basic responsibility to protect children, and innocent children suffered as a result. Moving forward, we must do everything within our capacity to restore trust in Penn State, and the Athletic Department will play a central and leading role in that process. Through these difficult times, we remain committed to the highest ideal and embodiment of the student-athlete, and we will emerge a stronger institution."
Bill O'Brien, Penn State Head Football Coach
"Today we received the results of the Freeh Group's investigation into what transpired at Penn State. I am carefully reading the report and recommendations with respect to the football department, including any gaps that may exist, to identify what changes can and should be made. I stand with the University leadership in a shared commitment to driving a culture of honesty, integrity, responsible leadership and accountability at all levels and within all units of our institution. We can and we must do better. Nonetheless, I too remain proud of the accomplishments and character of Penn State's many generations of student-athletes, and I look forward to doing my part to ensure we emerge stronger than before."

YOU KNOW and I KNOW Joe Pa never protected the program, never put FB over KIDS.
The country is full of BLIND and OVERCOMPENSATING PEDOPHILES who act like they cant understand how an INNOCENT MISTAKE under the circumstances was made.
And although the ALLEGATIONS are horrific. THE FACT is that this fiasco, as far as JOE PA is simply a INNOCENT MISTAKE.
If he could have TRULY stopped it he would have.
It is only TRUE HYPOCRITE PHARASEE, SUDDUCICAL PEDOPHILES that in PURE hypocracy REFUSE to give Joe Pa the benefit of the doubt.
IF IT WAS MY OWN KID I would hold Joe Pa GUILTLESS.
And that is the TRUTH.
The MEDIA is all TRUE CHESTERS, and PEDS becayse they lack the reason.
The media and most of the HATERS irrational RAGE I consider as a "PAVLOVIAN PEDOPHILIC OVERCOMPENSATING REACTION"
somehow meant to assure THIER OWN MINDS ythat THEY sint CHESTERS.
I see RIGHT THRU all of YOU.
And So does GOD to whom vengeance belongs.
