Coach Joe Paterno's blood to be specific, for saying this in response to allegations a Florida player may have molested a woman:
"There's some tough - there's so many people gravitating to these kids. He may not have even known what he was getting into, Nicholson. They knock on the door; somebody may knock on the door; a cute girl knocks on the door. What do you do?"
"Geez. I hope - thank God they don't knock on my door because I'd refer them to a couple of other rooms," Paterno continued. "But that's too bad. You hate to see that. I really do. You like to see a kid end up his football career. He's a heck of a football player, by the way; he's a really good football player. And it's just too bad."
And that's it. Being featured by weepy, sobby, leftwingy AOL on the welcome screen and nowhere else I can find it.
NOW wants Paterno to resign for "endangering women everywhere." For feeling sorry for a kid, not his own football kid, just a kid that may have gotten himself in serious trouble. Florida police are still investigating and no charges have been filed, except by the National Organization for Witches for his daring to say something nice about a someone who might very well be a bad boy.
Listen, if the kid DID molest ANYONE, then in the Land of Messenger he goes to jail for a minimum 15 years, depending upon the circumstances. If he raped a woman, then it's a minimum 20 in the can, no parole. But asking for old Joe Paterno to quit football because he was trying to find something nice to say about a kid everyone seemed to think was a swell kid is nonsense.
Endangering women everywhere? Sweet christ on a crutch but these gals need to grab a hold of themselves and get real.

My question:
Why ask Paterno about an event which doesn't affect Penn State?
It wasn't his player who was under investigation. Did the reporter think that Paterno had additional information about a sexual assault case, greater insight being a football coach into an investigation into a sexual assault which affects a football program which isn't even his (Paterno's)?
Florida State is just an opponent in a game. Why not ask Bobby Bowden what he thinks?
What was the reporter trying to find out? What kind of remark about something which has little to do with Penn State that Paterno could make that could be even construed to be remotely germaine to the issue at hand: a football game?
Yep. Looking for old Joe to say something, anything that could be made into news.
