As more info begins to drip, drip, drip its way into the news, is there an effort being made to back away from the character assasinations thrown everywhere last week?

Interesting article on Big Red in (retch!) ESPN here. Naturally, all the internet tough guys spout off in the comments about how they'd have hammered Sandusky into steak tartare. Sure. Whatever.

This whole thing is a sickening mess, and if the allegations are true the kid victims deserve ......well, everything and anything we can do for them. No one disputes that, as far as I can tell.

It just bugs the hell out of me that all the collateral damage - deserved or not - is just dismissed as irrelevant.

It isn't.

Where's my damn pipe?
