It's been a while...holidays, work, etc, etc, etc, the usual excuses....So on Sunday JoePa passed away and it made me think about the whole Penn State horrific state of affairs. I previously voiced my opinion on this subject - probably more than once - but with JoePa's death a new perspective came to mind. How sad it is that this legendary coach - who on the outside displaced such pose and certitude in his convictions will ALWAYS have the tragic events involving Sandusky associated with his name. Every AP story I read yesterday and today has an unspoken astrix behind the legendary Paterno name ... 'Penn State coach Joe Paterno has passed away (you know the guy who let a pedophile roam free due to his convoluted moral code)'. It truly makes me sad. Had he only done what was right for the community at large and not the community of Penn State his name could have carried this headline - 'JoePa, legendary Penn State coach - and the man credited with ending the reign of a pedophile coach - has passed away...Paterno will be remembered not only for his skill and commitment to coaching but for blowing the whistle on his one time assistant and ending the abuse of children at Sandusky's hands' ....if only this were true... Rest in Peace Coach for I would like to believe that your mind and heart needs peace from the seemingly callous decision you made all those long years ago.
