Penn State presser: Joe Paterno will only take questions related to Nebraska

[Scuba]

My first question would be: "Joe, does Nebraska have any grown men showering with 12 year old boys?"

[msanthrope]

1. "Joe, when you heard Jerry Sandusky was 'cornhusking' 12 year boys, what did you

do about it?"

[n2doc]

2. Every media person in the room should only ask questions about the abuse

Every one. And not ask a single football related question. Old asshole needs to be shown that he doesn't run the world.

[SpiralHawk]

3. "Joe, apparently Hermy Cain (R) did his piggy shit in Omaha, Nebraska. What do..." - Reporters

"...you think of his degenerate Republicon Family Values, vis a vis the Penn State degenerate values?"

- Reporters

[n2doc]

4. "Joe, What's the age of consent in Nebraska?" n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

5. Bad move. The reporters should join forces...

tell him they're going to ask what they want, or they walk out, in unison.

6. I expect the press conference will end with Joe storming out of the room when reporters find topics

more pressing than football

[monmouth]

7. I predict this to be the shortest presser in history. Reporters pressed

Cain, they're not going to ease up on Paterno.

[RockaFowler]

8. The Press Conference has been cancelled

[fishwax]

9. the university canceled it, apparently -- guess that shouldn't be a surprise

If they actually believed they could limit the questions to Nebraska football, that was pretty clueless of them. I just saw the line of reporters waiting to get into the press conference on SportsCenter. It was quite a long line.

10. They had to cancel, JoePa thought he could answer questions.....

Penn State football press conference canceled by university president

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno says he's disappointed university President Graham Spanier has canceled the team's weekly press conference, without explanation, this morning. The press conference was supposed to begin in an hour, at 12:30 p.m., and Spanier canceled it without conferring with the coach, Paterno said.

Media from around the country is lined up dozens of people deep awaiting the press conference in State College, Pa., in light of a sex-abuse scandal affecting the campus. Paterno's former assistant Jerry Sandusky was arrested on Saturday and charged in the sexual assault of eight boys.

Paterno said he was looking forward to the opportunity to discuss concerns related to the scandal, as well as to talk about Saturday's game against Nebraska. The football players don't deserve having the press conference canceled, Paterno said.

Paterno said he wasn't told why Spanier canceled the event, but officials says it's because of legal issues...
