Just remember ok? SANDUSKY abused those kids, not Paterno! When the toll of the scandal is totaled, you can add Joe Paterno to the list of Sandusky's victims. I'm no Penn State fan. But this man has paid more for this scandal than even Sandusky, the real perpetrator, has. Rest in peace Joe...you sure never had it for the last 3 months of your otherwise very successful life.

Over the last few years, I have been asked whether Joe Paterno thinks he is aware of the harm he was causing by stubbornly refusing to leave. Here is what I believe: He loved Penn State, and the very last thing he would want to do is cause it great pain.
The danger here is to lose perspective and, in the rush to judgment, pass over the good that he and Sue did, all the charities, the library, the scholarships - I've often said that the least important thing Joe Paterno did was coach football.
With his death, I worry now that all the grand accomplishments will be diminished, lessened somehow in value, and that would be not only unfair but also an irrevocable shame.
This was a man who devoted a lifetime to an institution, who made it his grand obsession, probably to the point of his ruin.
And here, finally, is the chilling question, the one that you dread giving voice to, the one that sits on your shoulder making you squirm, and the one that will haunt you for a long, long time: Did Penn State kill Joe Paterno?

I have thought about this very question for a while now and I have to say that I don't think so. I believe Joe knew he had lung cancer for a long time and the severity of it. I believe that is why he said this would be his last season. His last season to coach or his last season to live. I don't know.
