Paterno

Joe Paterno died Sunday after having lived for 85 years.

My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and close friends.

Challenge anyone who believes that they know what was in this man's mind, heart, or soul.

Tell those individuals that they will only ever truly know themselves in this world. If they challenge you about that perfect truth, ask them to prove otherwise.

Tim Tebow and the 'Us Versus Them Mentality'

*This information is being reposted due to the strong response it has generated. I originally wrote it on 1/15/12.

Tim Tebow

Every blog must reference Denver Broncos Tim Tebow, right?

Here's my take: Tebow shows outward displays of his religious beliefs. That has created a national discussion/reaction because an internal war is currently underway...and has been for a long time.

War? Yes, a cultural turf war between secularists and religious people. Those who deny that aren't being honest about reality.  (Merry Christmas....Happy Holidays....you get the point.)

Many secular displays of emotion are shown every single day within the world of sports. Tebow's display goes against the norm.

Progressives & Conservatives on the same field

Those who claim to value diversity only want that ideological view of the world pushed if it fits their ideas. People who hold a certain opinion about the world aren't progressive, or conservative, they are opinionated.

Nice to label yourself as "progressive" if you think your ideas are advancing what's best for society. My, how much smarter you are than everyone else.

Nice to label yourself as being "conservative" if you think that you are preserving what's right about society. My, how much smarter you are than everyone else.

MEANWHILE...every other human being is in the middle.

There is nothing wrong with Tebow expressing his religious beliefs in public. This is a free society.


Here is a link to my Yahoo feature story on Tebow...as readers of this blog, I think it's one that you will enjoy: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ycn-10837727

Penn State's Football Future & the Ongoing Sandusky-caused Problems

Penn State

The hiring of Bill O'Brien (no relation to me) is the next step for Penn State's football program.

Regardless of whatever may happen in the courts during an indefinite future, O'Brien will lead a group of young men on the field into uncharted territory.

Who really knows what damage has been done to this University's reputation, or what consequences may be imposed upon their athletic program moving forward.

Sandusky

For me, no matter what anyone says, thinks, feels, or believes, I know that Jerry Sandusky is the person who was, is and will be the most responsible for this entire scandal.

I know that many people have allowed themselves to become overly distracted by all of the other players in this dark sports drama.

Life is messy and not all people are heroes.

Only the self-righteous have said what all of the people who were dragged into that mess should have done. They are wrong and should not be judging a situation that they have never been in.

The most important individuals in this matter were the children who were victimized and their families whose lives were/are affected.

Of lesser importance, were the secondary victims - meaning every other person who was forced to react to the situation....Mike McQueary, Joe Patero, and on and on and on and on.

Penn State: Sandusky's red herrings

TY to over ---990,000 people---who have read my Yahoo Sports, News and Voices articles this year. http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html

Follow me on Twitter @SeanyOB

Jerry Sandusky scandal

Question: What do all of these things have in common?...

1. Questioning what Mike McQueary saw, when he saw it, how he saw it, what he said about it and  
    what he did about it.

2. One of Sandusky's "interesting" lawyers explaining how underprivileged children need to be shown
    how to properly shower themselves.

3. Any talk of how Joe Paterno and the entire staff at Penn State (or anyone else) responded to the
    terrible problem created by Sandusky's actions.

Answer: They are all red herrings designed to shift focus from Sandusky's actions.

The logic behind trying to convince the public, the media and eventually a jury that everyone else did wrong while Sandusky did right is desperate and despicable.

Only fools buy lies. Only those who want to excuse Sandusky and others like him push 1, 2, and/or 3.

Penn State: Jerry Sandusky and the secular media storm

**This information is being re-posted due to the interest the initial post generated on 12/10/11.

Sandusky

It seems as though the media hasn't sunk it's teeth into the recent news that Sandusky's family apparently was aware of his actions. Excuse me, alleged actions. There is at least one cowardly lawyer who has been paid to claim that he believes that this human being is innocent. 

Clearly the first person who was responsible for all of these actions was Jerry Sandusky himself. Only those humanists who choose to believe that we are all actually higher forms of animals reject that common sense fact.

***By the way - there is no evidence in the fossil record (as in all fossils that have ever been discovered) that any species have ever morphed into any other species. Therefore without logical proof of that having occurred, certain personality types have simply chosen to believe that various life forms evolved into other life forms. And scientists say that those who believe in religion do so on the basis of nothing?

How often have you seen that information?

The bottom line

Sandusky knew that what he was doing was wrong and did so anyway.

In his own family, at least his wife knew that what he was doing was wrong. We don't yet know what she may have done to stop him.

Penn State is a corporation. Yes, it's a land grant institution as well.

It wasn't primarily Penn State's responsibility to stop Sandusky, it was Sandusky's. Then it was his wife's responsibility. After that, it was the responsibility of the rest of his family and the families of those whose children were being abused.

Those who believe in morality understand what is noted above. Those who don't, think that all the rest of us aren't smart enough to see what they do.

Penn State: Jerry Sandusky and the secular media storm

Penn State: Sandusky is jailed - that's the story

TY to over ---950,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11. http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html


Penn State: 
The arrest and jailing of Jerry Sandusky on new charges keeps the focus where it should be.

Yes, we all understand that people in the Penn State bureaucracy are tied to the aftermath of Sandusky's actions. Let's never forget that his actions caused this entire situation.

It's easy for anyone who wasn't involved to say what they would have done. I know I have those same thoughts. But every person's reaction to what Sandusky did is simply a thought about the past.

Monday morning quarterback

Here's the thing: All of the Penn State people, whose names intentionally won't be mentioned in this post, aren't and never were bigger-than-life figures. They are people, just like you and me.

Everyone reacted and responded with whatever the force of their character allowed. I have a feeling that almost everyone who has questioned whether others should have done more to stop Sandusky have never been in a similar position and never will be.

In real life there are heroes on one end of the spectrum, there are cowards at the other and then there is everyone else in between.
