What exactly McQueary saw happen no one knows... Sure, except that Sandusky was convicted on four counts related to that incident, so I think it's pretty safe to say it was sexual in nature.

This is reductio ad absurdum. Clearly, obviously, and understandably people could forget over the course of a decade a day of the week, a time of day, what shirt they were wearing, what song was playing on the radio when a far more striking and more important event occurs. You're not asking me to believe Paterno…

About child sexual abuse? No.

If you had any issues with the Freeh report jumping to conclusions that it had no factual basis for making, your computer should have caught on fire when you wrote all of that. You don't think it was a case of lying, you don't believe his memory was sharp, his memory was probably fuzzy, he lied under oath, but not…

Yeah, because that's what people so innocent that (despite a lifetime of devout Catholicism) had "never heard of rape and a man" do: rather than sheepishly downplay the salacious detail or the story they're told, they embellish them - UNDER OATH - to include imagined details that implicate someone in pedophilia.…

The purpose of those inclusions wasn't to help educate anyone. The purpose was to say "Look at this - these esteemed professionals (who we've paid handsomely and whose statements would not have been included had they not been favorable) say that it's really hard to catch pedophiles because they act like nice guys!…

This is a huge problem I have with this "Court of Public Opinion" point that Paterno defenders seem to love. Joe Paterno has not been and will not be charged with any crimes. Part of the reason for that is that because of the time that has passed, because he's dead, and because of a number of other reasons, it would…

Amazing. The "Get Off My Lawn" speech he gave the administration in 2004 was a point of pride for Paterno Truthers until it was inconvenient, then we pretend it never happened or meant nothing? Got it.

I don't hate Sue Paterno, but she's in denial. They all are. And no one's doing his memory any favors by continuing to remind everyone of what he admitted himself that he failed to do. Continue to speculate all you want about deficiencies in the Freeh report, what we do know tells us that on some level he failed as a…

Spoiler alert: They conclude Joe did nothing wrong, and that he reeeeally wanted to stop Sandusky, but was prevented from doing so by the Illuminati.

I'm all for staying on this story and there's no debating that you guys have done a great job reporting it. But that picture - that's not "Lennay", and it is an innocent person. Wouldn't it be a plus to start phasing out the use of that photo when reporting on this story? At this point, I don't know that it really has…

If Te'o wasn't following him, he couldn't have received a DM from him. And if you were on Twitter when the story broke, you'd understand why, if not "inconceivable", it was unlikely at best that Te'o could have picked a non-DM apology tweet out of the literally thousands of mentions.

Yeah, it seems irresponsible of Deadspin to be skeptical that the guy who's admitted to lying about multiple aspects of this story would be telling the truth about this one.

This story only took four days to give us someone to actually feel sorry for.

His version of the story said that he was flying back to Hawaii for summer break on the day she was supposedly being taken off life support in California before miraculously recovering. Not in-season. Summer break. June, if I recall correctly. So he could afford to fly to Hawaii, which means he could afford to go to…

That was my exact thought after reading this latest nonsense. If he's a masterful, conniving liar, maybe there's some skill in there that can directed to something useful to the world. There's simply no fixing this kind of stupid.

So he was going home for summer break.

That would've been the best XFL jersey ever.

Serious question: Is the part of the Old Testament that considers homosexuality a perversion before or after the part where everyone's cool with the whole "Abraham is a polygamist" thing?

"Sexual immorality" can only be defined to include homosexuality if you have decided it's immoral. Any interpretation that would consider it to fall under that rather broad heading is simply that - an interpretation, made by humans, after the fact, through translation of dead languages.
