I just saw this interview on TV...WOW..Probably the most impressive answers to interview questions by an athlete I've ever heard period!!! This dude should be running for office. How about a 7 foot gay black president huh....arrghh too bad he's not a natural born American.
I always thought Dan was kinda a smart alecky dick on PTI,,, but his show ain't half bad.
I, too, thoroughly enjoyed this interview. All the talk of Jerry Sandusky in the news today is what led me back to this episode of DLHQ. I remember watching the original airing of it and being impressed by the refreshing eloquence of Mr. Amaechi. I have a lot of respect for him.
"Joseph V Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curely, PSU Athletic Director, to his home the very next day, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the showers fondling or doing something of a SEXUAL NATURE to a young boy"
If that had been Paterno's naked grandson he would have called the POLICE.
Joe Paterno will forever be remembered for turning his back on child sex abuse.
Thank you so much for this. I happened to catch the second part of this interview on television today, and checked Youtube to see if if the first part had been posted. Absolutely incredible. Amaechi is such an inspiration; thoughtful, articulate, intelligent...and then so much more. I appreciate his perspective on Penn State so much, and I hope to see him on television more in the future to give his thoughts on any issue, sports or otherwise. Can someone help this guy get a talk show?
i liked amaechi as a player and then even more after his book came out. he's definitely an interesting, intelligent, articulate man. definitely not your typical NBA player.

I'm amazed at this show. Most of the time it's about goofing off and having fun, but then there are moments like these on DLHQ, where it get serious on serious issues. Love it.
Very articulate expression of outrage here. He's not raging or shouting but his eloquent anger and his very accurate depiction of the facts as we know them is very, very effective.
A stunningly accurate analysis he makes in saying that the 2nd Mile organization acted as a delivery mechanism of young and particularly vulnerable victims for Sandusky. Secondly, that Penn State, the 2nd Mile organization, and anyone that allowed these actions to take place, were willing to, in conjunction, allow young athletes to be "roped into creating the public face... we showed up at schools, played basketball and whatever else, as a front to what was happening in the background."
maybe this will inspire kobe to come out as an asshole

If anyone still supports Joe Paterno they need to read the GRAND JURY REPORT!
1998 Sandusky accused of child rape
1999 Paterno forces Sandusky to retire
2000 Janitor sees Sandusky raping little boy in PSU Sauna
2002 McQueary sees Sandusky RAPING A 10 YEAR OLD BOY in PSU Shower! Tells Paterno. Police not called
2005 District Attorney Goes missing
2007 A victim states he was brought to Paterno's CLOSED PRACTICE by Sandusky
Paterno knew and did NOTHING
Joe Paterno is SELFISH and IMMORAL
