Who is going to watch the HBO movie Paterno?  I'm torn because I know which way the story is going.  Also feel that Sarah Ganin's involvement in the thing is going to result in a less than objective portrayal.  I doubt she will have provided her source of the Grand Jury testimony.  And that GJ "leak" powered the agenda by the media.

 

Put me down as a no.

I finally got through to my service provider. On hold for long periods of time. I requested to have HBO added to my service. Customer service rep said I was about the 100th person that called to request HBO. This is no lie. I asked if I can have HBO removed on Monday. It will be removed the next biling cycle. I'm going to watch it.

I also assume State college will be highly patrolled on Saturday night.

I'm going to watch, I have an sneaking suspicion of how Paterno will be shown:  A guy who either was in denial or "didn't want to know".

I am sure they won't show him as someone who actively covered anything up, but I'm interested to see how far they push the "should have known" narrative.

Of all websites to get information. Or better yet, look at the person who runs that site.

truth, with actual factual documents. Truth. My head doesn't need examined. I believe actual factual evidence. I don't live in a fantasy land like yours. And you can keep your, ahem, coalcars.  If you can dispute anything he has with actual facts, please feel free to do so.

Have nothing abut the kicking game to share. Helped him find a kicker. He offered. Kicker accepted. Nothing more to do for that. What am I doing here?? I’m a psu fan. Unlike you who is just here to flame and troll

OF COURSE Snike liked youR comment. Both of you hate penn State and JoPa because of all the righteous things he is known for. As for victims, I’m sure you could give a shot.

"State College will be highly patrolled".  Not sure what that means.  When The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, people stayed home to watch, and crime was lower than usual during that time,

How can you portray an 84 year old man, whose life was his family and a college football team?  I guess you do the smart thing, play to the crowd and impute culpability because that was the narrative.

Not to mention they are concentrating on the actions within his family during that time period, non of which were consulted. So yeah. Fiction.

I'm still waiting for the identity of the person who leaked the GJ to Ganin.  The GJ presentment as leaked set the narrative, which was followed blindly by every "news source".  If the grand jury snippets are not leaked to Ganin, the story does not develop into a mushroom cloud.

Don't have HBO either, but have no doubt which direction this thing is going to go.  I have always thought that the Second Mile reaches far and deep throughout the Northeast whose identities will remain secret.  This will be half a story.
