NFL.com news: Paterno fired as coach of Penn State amid sex-abuse scandal

He should have been fired long ago, this is not a sugar coated sex abuse case it is a child rape case..

If he had any decency at all he would have stepped down on Monday or Tuesday. That and he would have called the cops about the abuse. Sick ****

They have been killing him on Imus all week. I have enjoyed that.

I'd like to ask: How on earth are these Penn State kids rioting in SUPPORT of him? I mean.... I just don't get it.

Dumb sports fans. They are all over.

I don't think there is a group in the world that can gin up their moral indignation as fast and as furiously as sports commentators. Dennis and Callahan will be lucky if their neck arteries don't explode.

That coward JoePa should be in prison too.

I'm a huge Patriots fan, but also a PSU alum, staff member and season ticket holder. Two major scandals involving the two programs I love the most in 5 years. This is just depressing. Please pray first and foremost for the victims of these crimes. My mind keeps going back and forth between anger, disgust to betrayal. I want to believe that JoePa did the right thing, but I don't know if I can do so until all of the facts come out. And even then I think I will have a hard time doing so. Remeber that it was not to long ago that BB was vilified by the media for the whole SpyGate mess.

I think what the students did last night was stupid. They had every right to protest, but it should have never turned destructive. That paints all students and others in the PSU community in a negative light.

It's going to take a long time to heal from this, and I hope that PSU can at some point recover from this tragedy.

It is incredible Paterno and the others involved could have kept quiet after discovering Sandusky was child rapist. A child rapist! The worst aspect is their lack of action allowed Sandusky to continue his predation on young boys. Incredible. And Joe Paterno didn't have enough shame to resign?
