Update on Malcolm Gladwell's book "Talking to Strangers"
- Thread starter francofan
- Start date
They had a full year before indicting JS to confirm the date. McQueary watched Rudy on Friday night. Dranov was in Boston for a conference later that weekend. How hard is that to track down? Unless of course it is all BS
For that matter was Mike even on campus on December 29? He and his family could have been out of town for the holidays.
pretty sure if you saw someone get raped you would remember the exact date for the rest of your life
Do you have a reference for that? I think you're right but I don't recall where I've seen it.
They needed the date to be in 2002 in order to charge Curley and Schultz for failure to report because of the 10 year statute of limitations.
Not immediately, I recall that being mentioned in researching some old reports of the UVA HC search. Reports had Jim Caldwell as his potential OC with Al Golden his likely DC, if he took the job.
I doubt he told Joe it was the night before. He probably didn’t even give a date. After all, according to Sue Paterno it was a very short conversation. I think either Joe just assumed it was the night before or Curley assumed it was the night before when Joe contacted him.
Yes I've seen newspaper reports confirming that. But I haven't seen anything confirming that Jerry wanted to start a TSM in Charlottesville. I've heard that was the case but don't know if it was in the papers.
To be fair, wasn’t the 1998 investigation done by the Centre County DA as opposed to the PA attorney general...
Distraught...NO. Incoherent...ALWAYS
Yes, Jim Caldwell actually accompanied Sandusky on one of his trips to UVA for one of his interviews. So-called “Victim 2” Allan Myers was also on that trip.
Travelling with an unrelated boy seems like something Jerry's team would be sure to bring up in any new trial. Good look.
It is possible that Mike did his song and dance for Dad and Dranov 6 weeks later.
It is also possible that Dranov mis-remembered the date.
10 years later, it is possible everybody misremembered the date.
Here is a link to an interesting article by Carol Tavris in skeptic magazine entitled "I, Too Am Thinking About Me, Too."

Especially if it was for an incident that wasn't that memorable.
What the heck are you saying? Even if it was somehow weird for a fatherless teenage boy to spend time with another adult male with his mother’s blessing, Sandusky brought another adult on the trip! Makes no sense if Sandusky was actually molesting said teenage boy!
Gladwell was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Pretty bad interview from Kimmel but Gladwell is a very strange dude.
That is the first time I've ever seen him.

Saw him in person a few years ago. Strange and brilliant and very interesting dude. But yes, strange.

Agreed. But the preponderance of evidence suggests that it was probably in December, not during spring break.
At that time, it's possible that Mike had a cell phone. That being said, there can't have been that many calls made to the McQ household from Lasch. Is this something that us common folk can get our hands on, via freedom of information or something?
1) I don't think we've seen any phone records though. Funny, that.
2) Even if we had, that doesn't mean they are definitive. Mike could have seen whatever he saw in December, then decided months later that he wanted to talk to Joe about it, called his dad from Lasch and set the wheels in motion.
This is regarding the trip to Virginia, right? I would assume they stayed overnight.
What were the sleeping arrangements?
You would assume UVA would have paid for separate rooms for Jerry and Caldwell.
You wouldn't expect they'd pay for another room for Jerry's friend.
Sandusky has maintained all along that he linked this Allan Myers incident with being informed that he didn't get the UVA coaching job. He lost out on the coaching job to Al Groh. And from Wikipedia:
Groh was named the head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers football team on December 30, 2000, succeeding George Welsh, who retired as the winningest coach in school and Atlantic Coast Conference history.

Very good article, but it merely reflects what anyone with even a modicum of common sense already knows. That said, we live in a world gone mad.
The same people have been talking about the same BS for almost nine years with no hope of changing the outcome. I agree, some in this world have gone mad.
Clinging to the false narrative for dear life. Wonder why that is?
But yet here you are continuing to participate in each and every one of these threads.
Just to be clear, you are saying that Malcolm Gladwell (extremely respected author and lecturer) and Carol Tavris (journalist for Wall Street Journal) are insane. Obviously, you know better than they do. LMFAO.
