I m not convinced and just connecting the dots and every dot has been connected. paterno knows about the 1998 incident. why does jerry sandusky then resign a year later and michael, you write a terrific column that got no play at all. why was mike mcqueary made the receivers coach? he was a quarterback. had no experience. there was a guy named kenny jackson who had been the receivers coach, had played at penn state. had four times the experience and i now believe it was like hush money. i m going to address that at the end of tonight s program. jeremy robuck from the philadelphia inquirer, i thought it a bit odd that the response from curly lawyers after this report dominated this weekend. they seemed to wrap themselves in pennsylvania governor tom corbett. he had come under a little
