I think that this is one sad story. I had never heard of Joe Paterno until the Penn State Scandal because I am not a sports fan.
He did so much good but he made a major mistake in how he handled the Jerry Sandusky situation. And that cost him in his later years and last months. It is certainly a blemish on his otherwise outstanding reputation.
I wonder if the disgrace hastened his cancer and caused death earlier than might have occurred. I hope that he had a peaceful passing but he must have been very heavy hearted.
Personally, I feel sad for him and his family. I hope that he can rest in peace.

I do not think that Coach Sandusky cares about the grief that he has brought to others. What about the boys who he molested?
I feel sad for Coach Paterno. I hope that he is at peace and will rest in peace.

It is sad that it all had to end up this way for Joe. He had such a storied career and all that he most likely will be remembered for is his bad judgement regarding Jerry Sandusky. Granted, it was a huge mistake on his part, but I don't think that it should put such a huge cloud over his accomplishments through the years.
