Like Father, Like Son, Jay knew too...

DID JAY PATERNO KNOW?  YOU BETCHA!

Like I even have to ask the question.  Of course he did.  How could he not?

In the beginning of this, one question always nagged at me.  How could Jay have not known about Jerry and what happened in 2001?

Finally, In Jay's book, he reveals the following:

"The morning after my father had been fired, I was seated at his desk, and he sat in his robe in another chair looking over at me. The pain, the sleepless nights of the previous days were visible in his face. But he had something he wanted me to know. “Jay, I never told you guys about Jerry because I didn’t know if it was true,” he said. “I certainly couldn’t walk into the office and accuse a guy of something that I didn’t witness or know to be true. I didn’t know that he’d done all of that stuff. I had no idea. I just didn’t know.”

So if you want to believe him (and you're a fool if you do), Jay's first gained knowledge of what Jerry did on November 10, 2011.

Why is this not possible?  Let's start at the beginning.

ESTABLISHING THAT JOE PATERNO KNEW

Joe's statement to Anthony Sassano left no doubt that Mike McQueary sufficiently conveyed to him the fact that Jerry Sandusky was engaged in something inappropriate and sexual with the victim's privates.  

This is a fact.

Joe's own contacts with Tim Curley and possibly Gary Schultz on the next day after speaking to McQueary were sufficient enough to send Gary Schultz running immediately to Wendell Courntey's office where they discussed "Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse" for three hours on a Sunday. 

Again, this is a fact.  Hell, even Ryan Bagwell whines about it.  Too bad his complaining only reinforces the fact that Joe Paterno knew what was happening in the Lasch Building showers.

With that out of the way, let's move forward, shall we?

DID JOE REALLY NOT WARN HIS OWN SON?

Seriously Jay?  You expect us to believe that your Dad wouldn't take the necessary steps TO PROTECT HIS OWN GRANDSONS by giving you a heads up?

This premise strains all possible credulity.  And for Jay to have not thought about this fact as he attempts to back away from his own knowledge about Jerry, shows us that he is either a complete idiot, a compulsive liar, or both.

HOW COULD JAY KNOW ABOUT MCQUEARY'S ALLEGED SEXTING BUT NOT THIS?

Again, seriously Jay?  You know about this incident and even claim to have seen the pictures McQueary sent, but you never heard anything about Jerry?

"Both Jay Paterno and my other source, as well as some others not as close to the case, told me that McQueary had recently used a Penn State phone to send naked photos of his penis to a Penn State co-ed (though Jay added the extra “color” that the photos of the red haired McQueary could have also theoretically been of “Ronald McDonald”). They both theorized that this may have made McQueary (who is now apparently in the process of a divorce from his wife) far more willing to give investigators everything they so badly wanted and needed to build a viable case against Sandusky."

Once again, Jay paints himself as the ultimate insider, but one without any knowledge of Jerry!  How convenient.

DID SCOTT REALLY NOT TELL HIM ABOUT WHAT JOE SAID IN THE SASSANO INTERVIEW?

The Sassano interview took place on October 24, 2011.  Once again, Jay expects us to believe that his own brother, Scott, would have refused to relate to Jay what his father stated in that interview.

Jay, do you really expect us to believe that Scott wouldn't let you in on it?

Even when the time frame is as small as three weeks, Jay's incessant need deny any knowledge and to compulsively lie is truly incredible.

MIKE TALKED TO JOE, AND TO COWORKERS,  BUT NOT JAY?

McQueary testified that he had objected to co-workers in and around the facility as to why Sandusky was still allowed on the premises, but he wouldn't identify who they were.

He also testified that the subject would occasionally come up once or twice a year with Joe talking about what a sick guy Sandusky was.

But somehow, Jay expects us to believe that he heard nothing?  Not from Joe, or Scott, or Mike?

CONCLUSION

Jay Paterno clearly knew.  His high level of knowledge of other 'scandals' in the department renders his lack of knowledge of Jerry to be an impossibility.  That Joe would not tell his own son as a precaution to protect his grandchildren is also an impossibility.  That Scott would remain silent on what his father stated when meeting with Sassano is also an impossibility.  That Mike would discuss this repeatedly with Joe, but never mention it to Jay is also beyond belief.

We know you knew, Jay.

Also, the ADs and coaches at every university also know you knew.  The networks?  They're not stupid either, Jay.  That's why you'll never work again.

We're all just looking forward to the time when you're forced to take the stand in your lawsuit and perjure yourself in court.  Or possibly even having to answer that question during some future debate in one of your future failed campaign runs.

As you'll find out in due time, Jay, being a complete idiot and a compulsive liar is a regrettable combination.
