Your title for this article was both technically and metaphorically inacurate, unless of course I misread this and you are indeed someone who cared for Joe and would like for him to rest in peace, reputation in tact. In that case, I am sorry for your loss along with the loss of innocence of the boys who's rapist was protected by the most powerful men at PSU, including Joe, who thought it was the "compassionate thing" to do for Jerry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008154498818034496.post-89750893656386347322012-07-25T01:24:56.192-04:002012-07-25T01:24:56.192-04:00There is no defending Joe Paterno -He deserves to ...There is no defending Joe Paterno -He deserves to villified. It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and one act to destroy it. In Joe's case this was not just one mistake, one misjudgement it was a premeditated, carefully constucted and vile cover up that included a large retirement package, but did not preclude unlimited access to violate other children. Joe was a very flawed man who lacked charactor and integrity and had and entire country fooled into believing his program, his way of doing things was morally superior to everyone's else. He held himself above other people and used his power to bully and intimidate. Such hubris deserves public scorne, not sympathy. <br />The chant "We are Penn State" sounds like a creepy and demented at this point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008154498818034496.post-52970314441045501542012-07-24T10:20:53.944-04:002012-07-24T10:20:53.944-04:00He deserved it for keeping his mouth shut.

But, what about all those kids who played football from 1998-2011 they just stripped those boys of everything they worked so hard for, touchdowns,wins,any record they may have held and earned! and they had not a thing to do with this. This part of the punishment was clearly <br />fueled by irrational thinking and spite, and Let us remember there were many,many more involved then just JoePa!
