    I get the feeling that past players (and coaches) know a bit more than they are letting on, but are burying it out of loyalty or maybe fear. Anyone who comes out and says "Hey, I had a hunch something was going on, but I could not bring myself to do anything about it at the time" is going to risk facing some personal and economic harm. Someone who blatantly spills the beans and states something they specifically saw is probably in an even worse position.

    Even with legal immunity, a witness to some awful crime is going to face some harsh consequences. It's going to take one crazy dude who maybe has a big ax to grind to perhaps flesh out the rest of the story.

    Just to be clear, I don't think that ex-players knew about a Pedo ring. I just think that seeing Sandusky always having kids around him, especially in the shower, had to trigger rumors and speculation.

    it's really difficult for me not to refer to you as a fucktard right about now. hand-wringing aside, i guess "we" really should find out who was fucking little kids so we can, ya know, make sure they don't fuck more little kids in the future ... if that type of thing actually is a priority to you.

    Has this alleged new scoop been reported by anyone other than radaronline?

    This indeed could be shockingly huge IF true, but perhaps we should wait to see it from a source a tad more credible than one tabloidy gossip site before getting too carried away with it here.

    PSU gets their first commit since the sanctions announced — two-star corner Jordan Smith out of D.C. whose other offers were Kansas, Colorado and Hawaii.

    This.

    It's incredible how far some on this board took a scoop from a site that currently has "Dog saves puppies from fire -- the pics you have to see" and "Bobbie Kristina flaunts her controversial romance with Nick Gordon" on its front page.

    There's Google in my neck of the woods and no legit news organization is reporting any connection to Penn State or the "sharing of boys."

    Even the Radar Online report goes nowhere near the places you people took it.

    how about a CBS/AP shared byline and, oh, about 67 others?

    From your own link:

    "According to the source, there is no evidence that the pornography was of his victims. There is also no mention of a ring or sharing of boys with others. CBS News investigative producer Pat Milton reports that a second source said that none of Sandusky's victims have indicated that there was shared sex with them, Sandusky and any other individual."

    So the feds are just looking into it for fun?

    They could be following up just on the sharing and possession of child porn. If they have any sense, they are at least investigating a child sex ring as well, but it sounds like the only solid leads they have to follow right now are the sharing of child porn.
