Penn State's McQueary Is Not the Villain

If you've been following the sordid Penn State story you might think graduate assistant Mike McQueary is a criminal. The sports press has convicted McQueary in the court of public opinion, vilifying him without having knowledge of all of the facts of this case. It turns out, they may have all been wrong. An example. For at least 2 days on ESPN Radio's nationally syndicated Mike & Mike morning show, co-host Mike Golic repeatedly tore into McQueary for "not doing enough to stop Jerry Sandusky." Golic came to that conclusion, he says, by what was not in the grand jury report. He relentlessly called McQueary a coward, challenged his manhood and nearly swallowed his tongue in anger over what he thinks McQueary should have done to stop Jerry Sandusky in the Penn State showers. What if Golic was wrong?

McQueary, with his reputation in tatters, on administrative leave and receving death threats over the incident was finally heard from yesterday. In an e-mail to former teammates he said he did stop the act he witnessed and he did talk to police, contradicting every critic who berated him since this story broke. Since, Golic was quite silent on the issue stating there should have been more in the grand jury presentment if, in fact, McQueary did do more. He said he'd be the first to apologize if he was wrong, but really, can that cat ever be put back in the bag? A legal analyst on the Mike & Mike show stated more detail about what McQueary saw or did was not required to be part of any grand jury record. After all it's Jerry Sandusky being charged with these hideous crimes, not McQueary.
