Now from the “Al Davis Studios,” here we go…

The fallout from the arrest of former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky on child sexual abuse charges continue to consume the sports news. It’s a tragic story that has grabbed the nation’s attention and has continue to grow after Penn State cancelled coach Joe Paterno’s regular Tuesday news conference.
The 5-at-10 has said repeatedly that Joe Pa should have resigned Tuesday and he should have been fired today rather than allowed to announce he’s going to retire at the end of the season. Paterno should not be allowed to leave on his terms after this mess.
Joe Pa is one of six known adults – assistant coach Mike McQueary, McQueary’s dad, former AD Tim Curley, former vice president for business and finance Gary Schultz and a custodian – who heard of Sandusky’s actions no later than 2002. None of them took measures beyond telling each other about the heinous acts of Sandusky.
