I feel really positive for all the Penn State alumni who will interpret this move as a validation of what they've claimed all along: That their hero was not the driver of a nefarious coverup, but was simply too much of a stupid pants-shitting old dullard to put the pieces together, realize what was going on, and take…

Truly today is a great victory for anyone who's ever assisted in the cover-up for a chronic sexual predator.

Ugh I totally agree. Always seeing this thrown around - rape and distribution of child pornography - or just any photo like this, even if it was between consenting adults - aren't fucking mistakes. Whether you were drunk, angry, high, or anything, you still have to be a seriously innately nasty and disrespectful…

Wasn't it Agatha Christie who said "Every murderer is someone's old friend?"

Ugh. Yes. Once your kid rapes a drunk girl who is puking AND RECORDS IT he is no longer a good kid.

How much further in the sand could his mother's head be? You raised this monster, now fucking deal with him. Because this isn't his last time.

Yeah there's the "kid got busted drinking in the park with his friends" and then there's "kid rapes a girl and takes a photo" ... not QUITE the same thing.

They often have to change their numbers when their phones have been taken as part of a rape investigation.

Like, why the fuck would she leave her couch there?

Oh please. If someone handed me even $10,000 when I was 21 there was no way I would have managed it correctly. And probably the first thing I would have done would have asked my dad "What would be the smart thing to do with this?" I think that in Hockey and Baseball and to a lesser extent Football we tend to forget…

Ohh, how wrong you are.

This might be first real life situation that's impossible to porn parody.

Untrained assassin Tony Stewart, Busch's NASCAR colleague, had no comment when asked about the case.

Been there brotha. I tried for two years with my girl, but she always claimed the ass is sin.

wow such sophisticated tastes

FTFY. Seriously, teenage girls are insane on the internet. I am never letting my kids have access to social media.
